Obama and his administration are the ones who keep saying they want to ban guns. And by no means must you be a republican in order to understand the importance of our basic constitutional rights!

If you shoot and kill someone and it's not in self defense, you are a criminal. It's really not hard to understand this fact!

Germany: Guns registered in 1928 and confiscated in 1938.
Russia: Guns registered in 1918 and confiscated in 1926.
China: Guns registered in 1914 and confiscated in 1935.
England: Guns registered in 1921 and confiscated in 1997.
ALso happened in Australia, New Zealand, and many other places.

That is "Hoplophile". As one who loves guns, I am a hoplophile, while you, who are obviously frightened of them, are a hoplophobe.

I'm thinking that the idea of the states excerting their rights over gun ownership, needs to progress to other areas of states rights to run their own affairs and communities per the citizens votes. States and communities have lost their power to oversee there communities in the way in which the voters choose. Providing civil rights are not being thrown aside such as in the days of slavery, etc.

Seriously?

That post-election rush on gun sales that you're referring to was a direct response to Obama's documented opinions and voting history with respect to gun control. As far as I know, the current administration has had its hands full with bigger issues than guns.

And who are you to say how many tinfoil hands I can own? This is free country. Americans with guns won that freedom a little over 200 years ago.

gunownerdan said "No "tough gun laws" on earth are going to stop criminals from being criminals."

But not all gun-related deaths are caused by criminals. As a matter of facr, most of them aren't. Most mass shooters, workplace shooters, domestic violence shooters, etc. are legal gun owners...like YOU!~

gunownerdan said "Schoolliar, Suicide is a cultural problem, suicide is not caused by inanimate objects. Many wonderful studies have shown anti-depressants may in fact increase suicidal thoughts. Maybe your time would best be spend focusing on this?"

Six out of every ten suicides are done with a gun and NOT anti-depressants. That's why I focuse on guns. Guns are used in more suicides than all the other weapons and methods COMBINED. Guns are at the epicenters of our homicide and suicide problems. Pinochios like YOU should not accuse anyone of being liars.

NEWCO said "Right LOL did you know that for example western countries like england that banned guns have a MUCH higher rate of Violent crime then the US?"

That's NOT true. That's just another LIE from the gun lobby!~ Close to 70% of all homicides in the US are gun-related. We reduce the prevalence of guns the number of homicides will be reduced as well.

"In 2004, firearms were used to murder 56 people in Australia, 184 people in Canada, 73 people in England and Wales, 5 people in New Zealand, and 37 people in Sweden.9 In comparison, firearms were used to murder 11,344 in the United States.10"
