i think stricter gun laws should be be put in place for gun dealers. i also think if when you buy a gun you should have he proper license and a safe place to put the gun such as a safe.
pierce morgan is upset after the white house recieved over 25 thousand petitions to effectively deport him for talking against the 2nd amendment..ha,ha! you outa all be ashamed to live in this country,and be against the amendments that our forefathers put up to protect us all.you all dont like the current amendments,then i suggest you all move out of this country.because you dont deserve to live in this great country!
Regarding the sad day that those kids lost their lives in Conn. When will people wake up. The guns did not march in and start shooting. The shooter was a complete idiot like a mad dog. The ones we should be unhappy with are the law makers. Just think, had the staff of that school been trained in gun safety and were able to carry a firearm in school, they could have most likely saved many lives by taking the shooter out quickly. No we do not need more gun laws, bad guys do not obey them anyway. We need responsible people with gun training, carrying guns. This is the same case throughout the history of all mass murders. Place guns in the hands of trained responsible people , you will see crime and killing go down, not up.
No one, I repeat NO ONE is saying we need to take all the guns. But right wing brains are simply not able to think in anything but black and white. So you have them thinking that we need NO control of guns or NO guns. We have to have completely NO government or else we have a communist state.
The right wingers, conservatives and Republicons have many very dangerous ideas like this.
I've been reading these comments since yesterday and have made some myself. But I'm realizing that most of these comments aren't about the tragedy in Newton or even reasonable discourse about whether gun control laws should stay the same or become stricter.
This entire thread is pretty much made up of rude statements about anybody in a different political party. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not innocent, as I've made argumentative comments as well. Why is it that most Republicans on here hate and demean Democrats? Why is it that most Democrats here are doing the same to Republicans? We're adults who are resorting to name-calling instead of focusing on the larger issue.
It makes no sense to hate somebody who has a differing opinion than you. It's offensive to lump everyone in a political party together, as if every single one of them is the same, and make incredibly rude statements about them? Why are people on here calling people stupid for having their own opinions.
One thing I love about America is that we have the right to express our opinions. Unlike some countries, we have the right to free speech. So, yes, technically you have the right to act like a ten-year-old and resort to name-calling. But why?
Our politicians considering changing gun laws is something adults should be able to have a reasonable discussion about. I don't see why it involves childish statements. It's understandable that this horrific tragedy in Newton can bring up some strong opinions for or against gun control. However, it's not understandable why this tragedy is simply becoming liberals vs. conservatives... and comments to reiterate that everybody who doesn't agree with you is 100% wrong and that their opinions aren't valid. It's sickening that this is what we're doing during the aftermath of this awful tragedy.
When the 2nd was written there was parity between what the military had and civilians had. Same type of weapons.
Don't fool yourself. Today's military would smash anything you might get your hands on at Wally World.
What the 2nd Amendment IS good for, is the right of a civilian to protect his property, family, and life if under attack by anyone.
I don't understand why people bring up "Hunting", 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting. You use a 30 round mag to defend your home from looters. Remember the LA riots? Remember Katrina? Police wasn't around. You think a rioter is going to let you use a tool to discharge a 10 round magazine like Cali requires?
Fix the mental health system, and raise handgun purchases to 25yo or older, and fix the private purchase loophole, but leave the AR-15 and any other American made weapon alone.
when the 2nd was written there were no police forces and no big cities and the country was a very dangeruos place to live so yes a right to bear and defend was needed but that time is gone the 2nd was not nto ndefend a persons personal property but as a whole hence the word Militia <free State> not individual sportsman hunters(conservationist) Militia organized military not Disorganized gun carriers can't have a "well regulated "anything if you don't know, who, what, and where, you have a right to own a car but it is regulated right to where you can .cannot park it yet that doesn't seem to stop people from buying cars now does it??
"Today's military would smash anything you might get your hands on at Wally World."
This would be true, if they were fighting an individual or a small group of people, and is especially true overseas. What many seem to forget is that if there were ever a real "falling out" or rebellion in the U.S., it will be happening in this country - not in some desert 10,000 miles away.
Military bases that are surrounded and largely staffed by civilians who reject the federal government's ideas would likely fall into the hands of any rebellion relatively quickly; not to mention the defection of soldiers whose hometowns are being targeted by the military in "retaliation". Factories sympathetic to the cause of one side or another would no longer produce food, equipment, or other goods for that side. Trade would stop. Both sides would suffer in their ability to even feed themselves.
That, my friend would be the likely outcome of a true civil war. It would be just like the last one - brutal and bloody.
Most people now know that the Republicon Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wall Street and their corporate lobbyists. This whole NRA gun scam is a perfect example.
And BTW, you can have strong gun regulations and still have guns. If you are a responsible owner than why should you care about regulation? In fact you should welcome it.
