Oh crap,
So here is a report from MSNBC that says that Adam Lanza never used what leftists refer to as an assault rifle.
Let us not forget what George Mason said about the 2nd amendment. He said "I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
This is the purpose of the 2nd amendment. It is just as important as the first amendment. These laws that Obama proposes is nothing but feel good legislation that will take guns away from the wrong people. Do you want to make people more safe? Do away with gun free zones and stop making celebrities out of mad gunmen.
If you leftists in the North East where allive 235 years ago there would have never been a revolution. Those who would give up liberty for security deserve neither.
Hello Hungry,
I have never seen a minute of MSNBC. From everything I read it's too slanted to the Left, ie...it's got an obvious agenda.
I don't give a damn what the monster used. It was a gun, pure and simple. The argument that "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" is contradictorily self-defeating baloney in first place. If people kill people then it's idiotic to arm those who are the problem, according to the NRA's own favorite excuse line. The idea that the report of which gun was used makes a difference is nuts. They're dead and it was done with a gun. Even if everyone was just wounded it wouldn't change how horrendous that attack was.
Why is it pro-gun people have never posted one word of sympathy for the 20 children and 8 teachers who are DEAD!!! All you do is worry about how the bloodily massacred bodies might result in the loss of your guns. It's people like you who don't relate to the loss of human life, very young life, don't seem to care about the deaths after a horrendous tragedy, that are scary, who should not have guns. Those hyper-reactionary kooks who create conspiracy fantasies and threaten to kill people to keep their guns are exactly the paranoid unstable kind who should never have a gun.
So who are the "wrong people". You mean the honest, hard working, never committed a crime mother who avidly trained her son to handle the weapons properly and responsibly...you mean the mother of the monster. Doesn't work does it. Once the gun is sold it could fall into anyone's hands and that's the problem.
The idea that the Founding Fathers always knew what they were talking about is a fallacy. Creating a Democracy was an experiment which the Founding Fathers could not know would work, or what were the best laws to have. If your argument is that Founding Fathers were infallible and every law is sacrosanct then we should still have slavery, there would be no equal protection under the law, women should not vote, indeed any man who does not own land should not vote. Obviously, there were critical flaws created by our Fathers like Mason in the Constitution or there would not have been
17 new Amendments added after it as written.
Besides that, militias have been a very consistent failure as I have described in accurate detail. You guys get a hard-on owning a gun, but let someone point one at you and you go limp, and turn YELLOW.
You're absolutely right that the laws proposed are little more than "feel good legislation". But since confiscation of assault rifles is impossible the idea of ending production of such ammunition would be more effective.
The Northeast was the engine that started the American Revolution, and that Revolution was fought for the right of self-government, NOT so anyone could own guns, 300,000,000 guns. BTW - Romney lost the entire west coast, nearly all of the midwest, and a number of interior western states. These blanket statements about Liberals are "feel good" nonsense that don't deal with reality. I know plenty of lifelong Democrats who own guns...I did once.
There are those who feel that the second amendment is written in stone...
It's not. It could be altered by another amendment through a long and tough process requiring 38 states to agree/ratify before it passed. This would NEVER happen in this case.
