By NO means must you be "some White Trash jinGOPigs south of the Mason_Dixon line" in order to understand the importance of responsible civilian gun ownership

I have no problem with gun owners. I do have a problem, however, with an armed militia funded by the US taxpayer. It seems more appropriate that with gun ownership you have a responsiblity to also go off to fight for America to defend the Corporate Interests. I am sick and tired of the US taxpayer funding a completley needless militia to go off and fight all these needless wars since WWII.

This should make the AMerican jinGOPigs happy. Guns, war, killing people is apparently a huge adrenaline rush for most any jinGOPig. Guess when you are born and bred with recycled DNA and recycled family hate, ita baout all you are gonna have to go through life with: HATE. Did I just descibe some White Trash jinGOPigs south of the Mason_Dixon line?

Guns are not to blame for a failed drug prohibition policy!!!

We have forgotten the lessons of prohibition. Thats the root cause of the problem.

Yeh, yeh..the root of all evil..preventing idiots from obtaining and carrying assault weapons and grnade launchers--I feel so much safer when I have my 50 caliber machine gun with me...

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
-- Thomas Jefferson, quoting criminologist Cesare Beccaria

The root of Mexico''s drug cartel problem isn''t gun from the US. It is the vast corruption of the Mexican government that has created an healthy environment for drug cartels.

When it comes to patrolling the US Mexican boarder, the Mexican police aren''t in that picture. Perhaps Mexico should build a fence to keep the gun smugglers from illegally entering Mexico.

This story is the type of propaganda used to frighten the public into thinking guns are somehow responsible for a failed drug-prohibition policy.

The problem is ..we do have a failed drug policy AND we have a failed gun policy. The US gun policy not only makes us less safe it makes other countries less safe. Terrorists do not need to ''smuggle their weapons into the US--they can arm themselves easily and legally once they get here..yes yes, I heard the BS about the 2nd amendment--the right of the states to raise a militia--the individual is 12 times more likely to shoot a family member than to shoot an intruder--look at Canada--very little gun violence--almost all of the gun violence is from guns that come from the US. Look at England --very little gun violence--why you ask--LESS GUNS !!! We are ALL made LESS SAFE by the number of firearms in the US--and this administration has helped make those weapons more available. The police are routinely out gunned. There are idiots who think that students and teachers should be carrying concealed weapons routinely--what are we ?? Are we reverting to Dodge City ???
