You wish.

This population will not fight back.

The confiscators in the Katrina aftermath had no issues whatsoever taking those guns away from their lawful owners. Has anyone paid a price for this violation of the Constitution? Anyone? At? All?

That “explanation” don’t fly. Katrina victims were already in a state of shock, and then were “blindsided completely unaware”, by the authorities doing the confiscating.

Gun owners are now on full “Red Alert”.

Then the confiscation starts, the American people fight back and the government is overthrown.

This is the snake eating its own tail.

Had these people notified the proper authorities that in their estimation, these people were or would soon become violent maybe something could have been done.

Actually, the psych for the Aurora shooter tried to tell someone. I believe the paperwork was still being processed when the shooter acted.

These findings are based on two questions in Gallup’s annual Mood of the Nation survey, conducted Jan. 7-10. The first asks respondents if they are satisfied or dissatisfied with the nation’s laws or policies on guns. Those saying they are dissatisfied are asked a follow-up question to determine whether they think the laws should be made more strict, made less strict, or kept as they are. As a result, the 38% who are dissatisfied and want stricter gun laws indicates not only a preference for stricter gun laws but a certain amount of intensity of feeling on the subject.

I’ve got a question I’d like Gallup to take a poll on:

“Do you believe Americans on average can be more disciplined in their personal habits and/or character traits?”

.

I do wish that the State would abolish the rigmarole on CCW to make it the same as Open Carry.

So, yeah, I’m in that 5%.

The current laws are asinine.

Plus the venue of ‘antique’ for firearms doesn’t shift because of the damn federal government, while it does for every other single object. For all those pushing for making gun laws more like car laws, be warned that includes the antique designation rising up a few decades and having swaths of firearms disappearing off of what needs a background check to sell.

existing gun regulation.

But laws make us feel better whether they are effective or not.

The key is to push the idea that these laws are ineffective and just distract us from dealing with the “real issue” of mental health policy. I have argued this issue with liberals and they are incapable of refuting the argument.
Another point to argue is existing gun regulation.

Outlander on January 14, 2013 at 8:54 AM

Yep…those are the points that I have found to be the most convincing too. Potentially anyway. But be prepared, those are the hot buttons in a discussion with any liberal in favor of more gun-control. That’s when the personal attacks and name-calling might start too.

Thanks for being dishonest

Actually he stole them which is against the law.FO.

In most of the more recent massacres, each perpetrator was under the care of a psychiatrist/psychologist in whom they confided and red flags were raised to the doctors in each case.

Why do I find that curious?

In most of the more recent massacres, each perpetrator was under the care of a psychiatrist/psychologist in whom they confided and red flags were raised to the doctors in each case. The sacrosanct doctor/patient code of silence is what is at fault. Had these people notified the proper authorities that in their estimation, these people were or would soon become violent maybe something could have been done. But before that can happen, the so-called “feel good” nanny state laws the left has foisted on society will have to be changed. Too bad if the killer’s self-esteem might be hurt if he’s committed.

These are the type laws that need to be changed, not new gun laws that have been proven not to work. I don’t care if they try to buy a gun or machete or even stand on a subway platform waiting to push someone in front of a train, the need to wait for a weapons purchase background check when purchasing a gun is not the answer. They’ll find away to get the weapon of their choice some other way.

We don’t have a gun problem. We have a heart problem where much of the blame can be placed on the left wing world views over the past 50 or so years that have encouraged this kind of behavior. Look at our judicial system and the enforcement of our laws where the victim ends up being punished more than the criminal because of a plethora of laws that protect them on the flimsiest of technicalities. Take the current case of the Aurora Colorado movie theater massacre. There is no question he was the one who killed all of those people. I don’t care what his rationale was. This is a cut and dry case and the scumbag should be lined up against the wall and shot after the 10 minute trial. Any other time wasted is being spent on trying to get him released based on the parsing of simple words as to what the “law” really says. The same goes for the Fort Hood Islamist killer. Another one who should have been executed within days of the incident.

No es nada.

Ed, you and other gun supporters keep on saying gun laws don’t work and point to Connecticut’s gun laws not preventing this massacre

so did the guy get his guns in Connecticut? or did he get his guns with less stringent gun laws? thanks for being dishonest

Mental disorders are no joke. Is there a loved one in your life that can help you?

In fact, don’t answer. You’re point was so stupid, I feel more stupid for even addressing it.

Are you talking about Lanza? He got his weapons from his mother’s home. She should have keep them secured from him, but WTH are you talking about with Ed’s column? And our comments on CN gun laws …

In fact, don’t answer. You’re point was so stupid, I feel more stupid for even addressing it.

Gallup’s latest survey shows the highest percentage of dissatisfaction in a dozen years with current gun laws by those who want them toughened, but it’s still only a little more than a third of the country:

… the minority rules!

so did the guy get his guns in Connecticut? or did he get his guns with less stringent gun laws? thanks for being dishonest

And while the dissatisfaction with current gun laws jumped 13 points, it’s still less than 40%

Count me among the 40% — I’m dissatisfied with “gun-free zones.”

Bishop on January 14, 2013 at 9:23 AM

You’re forgetting the part about millions dying.

These liberals in high places are truly crazy, and it comes out when they get desperate to change minds to their way of thinking (and I use that last term loosely).

Then, the government’s official position is: the people are preparing to violently overthrow the government, therefore, the government must take pre-emptive action by confiscating guns and removing the threat.
