Hey Einstein, if 'The Courts opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill', HOW do we know WHO is a felon or mentally ill? By looks? Smell??
Fast track the mentally ill into NICS.
Why do none of Obama's 25 Executive Orders or decrees do this ?
Answer: Need more Sandy Hooks to drive the disarmament agenda.
You people are such FUCKING ASSHOLES. I have no problem with law abiding citizens owning firearms. But you pieces of right wing scum want to shield felons and the mentally ill from background checks so they too can own guns. WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with your brain? I can understand why the gun manufacturers who make MILLIONS of $$$$ when guns are sold to anyone would block common sense laws. WHAT is your piece of the action you turd brained moron?

Are you C_Clayton_Jones? THAT is not even the question, but I am not surprised you don't understand.
But you are wrong about California...
Want a Better Gun Policy? Look at California
Griffin Dix, Ph.D.
After the recent mass shootings came mass confusion over how to prevent gun deaths. Calls for action ran to extremes. In despair some said murderers will always get weapons that are incredibly lethal; we are helpless against the gun lobby. Others called for banning all firearms. But there is a better way. Californias gun lawswhile far from perfectprovide a model that works.
Since the peak firearm mortality rate in 1993 California has cut its firearm mortality rate by 53% to a new low of 8.1 per 100,000 (according to the CDCs latest 2009 data). That compares to a decline of only 30% in the rest of the nation, where the firearm mortality rate is 10.2 far higher than Californias.
Before 1997 Californias firearm mortality rate was consistently higher than that of the rest of the nation. But as Californias gun laws took effect the states gun death rate dropped lower. Of course many factors besides gun laws affect firearm mortality rates. But gun laws help and California has passed more than forty of them since the 1989 assault weapon mass shooting in a Stockton schoolyard that led to the states assault weapons ban and a ten round limit on ammunition magazine capacity.
Other important California laws curb illegal gun trafficking by requiring background checks on all gun sales or transfers (including at gun shows) and limiting handgun purchases to one per month, prohibit gun purchases by persons guilty of certain violent misdemeanors, and facilitate crime gun tracing and recovery of illegally owned weapons.
Additional laws require licensing of gun dealers. In California handgun buyers must pass a written safety test and hands-on demonstration. Laws that encourage safe gun storage help reduce gun suicide, a major component of firearm mortality. New handgun models sold in California must meet state safety standards.
Americans overwhelmingly support measures like these, which do not interfere with the rights of law-abiding citizens. Gun violence is a complex, multi-faceted problem with no easy fix. No wonder many are confused about how we can cut our gun death rate and protect our families. Californias gun laws are a model the rest of the country should look to in this hour of sorrow, confusion and much-needed discussion.
I live in San Francisco, idiot, you can't tell me anything about California. There were three different shootings in this area today, one a double homicide that occurred during the news. Pretending that murder is the only possible gun crime in order to insist that gun laws work just helps me win the argument.
I just did...
Can you tell me what California Governor had one of the strictest gun-control regimes in the nation? And said this to reporters?
This California Governor told reporters that he saw no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons. He called guns a ridiculous way to solve problems that have to be solved among people of good will. In a later press conference, this California Governor said he didn't know of any sportsman who leaves his home with a gun to go out into the field to hunt or for target shooting who carries that gun loaded. The Mulford Act, he said, would work no hardship on the honest citizen.
Can you tell me what California Governor signed the Mulford Act, prohibiting the carrying of firearms on one's person or in a vehicle, in any public place or on any public street...???

And who determines what exactly is "mentally ill" and who is and who is not?
Friend of mine had a bad reaction to prednisone which is common. They hospitalized him and he had another reaction in the hospital. Loud outbursts of euphoria and very loud almost as if he was on speed. They held him in the mental ward for 2 days. Now his insurance has rated that as a "mental episode" and terminated that part of his health insurance when he renewed it.
They have categorized him as the "mentally ill" and what is to stop government from doing that also?
Most of the mentally ill no one knows about.

Yep. this is what I am talking about. What happens when you have an over zealous anti gun nut dictating whether or not I can have a gun.

Dumb ass hunting has nothing too do with the second amendment.

It is a slippery slope. Soon all kinds of people will be thinking that they shouldn't have to have their views cleared ahead of time by a government censorship board.

It's a hard concept you god damn liberals have accepting.
But the second amendments ONLY purpose is to defend against a tyrannical over bearing does not follow the constitution creates new tyrannical laws government.
That's it only purpose.
As Federal law requires background checks, this is proof that background checks do not work.

You are an uneducated moron. Hamilton, Madison and Jay made fun of nut bags like you in the Federalist papers. In the First Congress debate on arms and militia, youll see a constant theme: the 2nd Amendment was created to protect the American government.
The James Madison resolution on the issue clearly stated that the right to bear arms shall not be infringed since a well-regulated militia is the best security of a free country.
Our Founding Fathers never imagined a well-armed citizenry to keep the American government itself in check. It was all about protecting the American government from both foreign and domestic threats.
The James Madison resolution on the issue clearly stated that the right to bear arms shall not be infringed since a well-regulated militia is the best security of a free country.
So since NCIC is not perfect - just disregard it?
No law or no law enforcement is perfect - so I guess (by that logic) we should just abandon all law?????
If the "Gun Show Loophole" is closed it means that Grandpa's gun he left me would have to go through a FFL dealer background check before I can get the gun. How is that going to be enforced.
I see the right-wing is going after the sex offender vote. You must be getting desperate.
