Instead of wading threw this NRA Sewage of bullshit, a simple question, which you guys can't answer.
Pretend for a moment you are speaking to the mother of Christina-Taylor Green. (The little girl killed by Jared Loughner.)
I want to hear what argument you would use to explain to her why a crazy person should be allowed to buy a gun because you have a delusion you can fight off the government with a handgun.
Go on. I'd like to hear what one of you would actually say to her.
The same thing I would say if she had been killed by a drunk driver or a hatchet wielding serial killer...I wouldn't blame the car, or the alcohol, or the hatchet...I would blame the person responsible.
Again, you lost any credibility in this argument when you blamed her dad for not being Mr. Crazy Vigilante...
really Joe are you saying you've had enough? Come on Joe you don't own a gun yet you for some reason think you can dictate that I shouldn't have one either. shame oin you.
Actually it works the other way.Explain to me what compelling reason there is that Jared Loughner should be able to buy a gun with an extra large clip.... oh, wait, excuse me "magazine"....
Its incumbent upon the state to demonstrate a compelling governmental interest as to why a given right may be preempted; without a rational basis to restrict access to firearms, any such legislation would likely fail Constitutional muster.
Thats not to say, of course, there isnt a rational basis. But Heller/McDonald makes this a rather difficult hurtle to negotiate.
As I noted earlier, it will take decades to determine where the Constitutional lines may be drawn with regard to reasonable restrictions.
Actually there are a slew of gun laws on the books already, which, if enforced, quell many of the public's fears. Historically LE has been lax and even unsuccessful enforcing them, leading to public outcry that stronger more restrictive laws are needed. There is one possible exception, the intention of the Second Amendment, does not envision automatic weapons. As such it could be argued that these weapons do not fall under the protection of the Second Amendment and therefore are illegal.
Otherwise, any discussion or debate over whether or not our right to bear arms could or would ever be taken away by Congressional repeal is surely intended for entertainment purposes only. Congress is the the only government branch with the power to repeal the Amendments to the Constitution and even so the successful exercise of that power requires unanimous agreement. Of that ever happening, we need not fear, since I doubt that Congress agrees on the time. Thus, public concern about the subject can be put out to pasture, as it is unlikely this bunch could reach a quorum to discuss repeal. much less have the votes to do it.
But let's say for argument's sake that Congress by some hook or crook had the votes to repeal a Constitutional Amendment. Can you imagine the number of man-hours and the amount of man-power needed for the task. Not to mention the cost, which would be astronomical.
Statistically the approximate numbers of illegals in the country are a known. However, to date no process or nebulous plan has been hatched by even the most ardent Congressional member as to how to expeditiously find and remove them.
Guns are legal, so it is doubtful that there is much data in existence regarding how many guns there are, who has them and where.. Lacking such vital information reduces any attempt to remove them from anyone. In fact any such undertaking would be on a par course with a flea climbing up a dog's leg with rape on its mind. In other words, IMPOSSIBLE.
Please, don't stop debating the subject, but do stop worrying about whether or not it will ever come to fruition.
Ive decided you dont have the "privilege" of the First amendment anymore Joe.
So you have to STFU now, its for your own good.
I promise.
Headline in my morning paper: shotgun sales up 400 percent since home invasion that occurRed over the weekend.
Doesnt sound like the people are with you Joe. And CT is a red state?
Nope. Deep deep Blue.
Find where i addressed your points in the first place, who are you or i to decide who is crazy, i think you are nuts and shouldnt own anything sharp, plus i think your opinion is so whacked you shouldnt have the "privilege" of free speech.
Deal with it, one day i might be the one Mandating, you just havnt figured that out yet.
Allah u Akbar!
Shame on you for using the tragedy of those who have suffered for your own sick game you play here.

YOu mean instead of selling one they sold four? Seriously?
I don't deny that RESPONSIBLE LICENSED people should be allowed to buy guns.
I just don't think crazy people and criminals should be allowed to buy them.
Not sure why you think this is a wonderful idea. I'd still love to hear what you'd say to the parents of the little girl who was killed by Loughner. What great constitutional "right" was being safeguarded by his ability to to purchase a gun despite being a dangerous schizophrenic.
How dare you say what most people want.
I say most people want you to STFU
Comprende merde tete?

It isn't a tragedy. An earthquake is a tragedy. a Tsunami is a tragedy.
A crazy person buying a gun and shooting people because it is too easy to get guns and the nutters have intimidated people into not enforcing the laws is a TRAVESTY, not a tragedy.
The inmates have taken over the asylum, and that's the problem.
Most Americans want common sense gun control, but this small fringe of crazy gun owners have intimidated politicians into not doing their jobs.
How dare you say what most people want.

My rep number is higher than yours, so I'd say probably not.

You see Joe heres your problem, you have already deemed me crazy and by your standards all crazy people shouldn't have firearms. Joe Guess what Most police departments do some from of psychiatric evaluation, I've been through it. So Joe you would be wrong about me. By who's standards do we use to qualify people as sane or insane?
OH and by the way you do realize the police are not obligated to protect you
And you never did answer how many mass shootings have we had at a gun show.
I can take any firearm I own and sale it to anyone I wish and it's legal, So Joe it's not the "gun show loophole" blues that's your problem You gun grabbers need to through that worn out record away.
You are 100% correctAs a retired LEO I can tell you that it takes far too long for the cops to respond to your 911 calls. In some cases it could take more than 20 minutes in the big cities and on busy nights it could take hours. Be a victim if you like. I opt not to.
