What I particularly appreciate, and what I would hope to see more of in addressing the still very rare situations like this, is the serious, thoughtful look at the entirety of factors that you've given this. In short, Mr. Biden would do well to have someone like you involved in his month-long task.

But when leftists are continuously finding "rights" in the Constitution that do not exist, why should gun owning Americans give up a right that is pretty clear?Tom de Plumenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-27369973537310748812012-12-19T17:19:57.886-05:002012-12-19T17:19:57.886-05:00Molon Labe.Molon Labe.BigFrednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-22707801287059885772012-12-19T15:34:29.324-05:002012-12-19T15:34:29.324-05:00WHile I disagree that reducing the number of guns ...WHile I disagree that reducing the number of guns in society would appreciably reduce the number guns in the hands of criminals, I do find that there are many steps that could be taken to improve the situation. Punitive taxes don't work ( Cigarette anyone?). However as was pointed out to me during a recent gun purchase ( hunting shotgun) while I am required by federal law to sign a paper saying I am not crazy, federal law also prohibits the police from checking my medical records to see if I am lying. First step lets get some common sense and simplicity in the law. Second step is licensing people to own a weapon. I fail to understand as a gun owner why I don't have to have a license to own a gun. I have to do it for other dangerous activities like driving and getting married.Curtisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-21330241534701487412012-12-19T13:04:27.089-05:002012-12-19T13:04:27.089-05:00The stated mission of the ACLU and what they actua...The stated mission of the ACLU and what they actually do are two different things. I would argue the ACLU is a lot more culpable than the NRA in this mass murder. The theater shooter in Colorado, the looney-tunes in Arizona, hell even Lee Harvey Oswald were NUTS! Our mental health infrastructure has collapsed as a result of ACLU lawsuits. The streets of our big cities are filled with psychotic bag ladies and homeless addicts.<br />I don't want more firearms, I don't want less firearms. But I want those who chose to have them to be RESPONSIBLE for them. This lady in Connecticut made a terrible error. She had an emotionally disturbed kid, whom she had taught to use some very deadly weapons, knew the kid was going over the edge, and failed to secure her guns. WTF was she thinking? It cost her her life (mercifully) and the lives of a bunch of children. The crime here is her negligence.<br />Look, we can do a lot of things, but taking away guns will make all of us less safe. If liberals think they can change the Constitution let them have at it. But as long as the 2nd. Amendment exists, nobody has the right to take my guns."The Hammer"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16342812251947807673noreply@blogger.com
