I give up. I hope that the liberals get gun control in America. I hope they take our guns away.
I hope that when they start getting robbed and murdered at Chicago's rate, they remember the former gun owners who kept that rate at a minimum, but no more.
I hope that when another deranged person shoots up a school they remember that gun owners said gun control wouldn't work.
I hope they remember that all cities with strict gun control have staggering crime rates.
I hope they can remember as their throat is being sliced open by an Islamic terrorist that their life could have been saved by a gun.
I hope they remember that when they are getting the crap beat out of them by inner city gang members that a gun could have stopped that.
I hope they remember when their 87 year old grandmother is raped and beaten to death that it could have been prevented by a gun.
I hope that when they are looking down the barrel of the gun that's going to blow their brains out, or stare at the knife that that will slit their throat or stab their heart, that they remember we said it would happen.
I hope they realize that there are more guns than people in America and that gun control will never disarm the criminal element or the religious or political zealots.
I hope they realize that gun control didn't stop anything but instead, accelerated it.

I'm not looking for comments or arguments or name calling or put downs.
I just wanted to speak my piece.
I'm sorry for the pain, death, and anguish that will come from full gun control, but I would like for that side of the arena to get their wish.

When I first relocated to Texas I met an elderly auto mechanic who almost immediately began talking about how Obama waned to take his guns. I tried to explain that Obama purely wanted restrictions and was not interested in collecting this man's guns. (This was before all the automatic firearms were as popular.) No amount of talk would convince him otherwise.

May I ask what is wrong with having to register one's guns. You have to register your cars, don't you? 45 made sure he got rid of any restrictions President Obama recommended purely on the basis that Obama was FOR them. These teenagers stated that they are not against the 2nd Amendment but you didn't hear that did you?

I must say that you sound like an 8-year-old having a tantrum - just like your leader, 45. Grow up!

Automatic weapons are not popular, nor are they prolific, and when you buy a gun from a dealer there is a massive paper trail. I own many firearms, each one with my name on it. You should just STFU, you sound like 8 yr old also, and an ignorant one at that. Automatic weapons, yea right.

Every person should be able to protect themselves and family. Gun control will not stop shootings, but put more family's at risk. I am almost 78 years old, I physically can not defend myself if attached by someone, having a gun gives me a better chance.

Dr. Evil Loc: In Your Face

What? Don't you realize that if we lay down our arms, there will be no more threats. Just ask Alicia from la la land, she has all the answers. They should send liberals out to collect America's firearms and see how that works out. Today's libs are spineless pukes.

Gives you better than even chance JT. Racking the slide on my Remington shotgun makes intruders run the other way and the boom of the 357 magnum revolver keeps them running even if I can't see to hit squat. I have had two home invasions which I repelled with my guns, before I upgraded my security. No attempts since -- could be due to better security or my shoot first and find out what they wanted after they are dead policy.

I live in one of the poorest counties in Mn. Full of crack and methheads. In my town people know me and my dog. If he don't get you I will. I shoot to cripple, it's always nice to leave a lasting impression😆

WE HAVE TO PROTECT OUR MOST IMPORTANT ASSET, OUR CHILDREN. THINK ABOUT THIS:
AS MOST ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN THE US DO NOT HAVE SRO THEY WOULD BE THE PRIME TARGET FOR A SCHOOL SHOOTER LOOKING FOR THE MOST CASUALTIES.
IT MAKES SENSE DURING THESE TIMES TO ADD SRO NOW AND NOT LATER.. WE SEEM TO CLOSE THE GATE AFTER THE COWS HAVE LEFT THE PASTURE.

I asked not to be called names for stating my opinion but I was....so I'll respond in like terms.
The Fla shooter's gun was legally purchased...his maniac behavior was not followed up by that FBI...my God! 39 calls to his residence !!!!Can you not see what a stupid twit you are for judging my opinion? What if he copuldn't buy an AR-15? What if he went in with a Marlin 22 cal., a gun that most rural boys own b y age 13. They hold 19 rounds or so. So he couildn't k**l 17...maybe only ten. Is that acceptable to you? Are you so blind by your fear of guns and hatred of Trump, so ignorant that you can't see that a lone armed security officer locking the doors after school started would have made Parkland a non-event? You don't even care about those dead and wounded kids so long as you can puke out your liberal hatred because your main liberal lying criminal twit didn't get elected. Your brain is diseased with a fantasy that has been proven wrong time after time.
I hope this insults you as bad as you insulted me with your torrid twisted d********g views of a world that you think will magically just do what you think it ought to do.

She is nothing but troll with the common sense of a fence post, her opinions are of no value or merit.

But they have successfully taken all of the long guns out of the back windows of pick up trucks.
I grew up with that! My friends said that will never happen, but it did. So don't think for one minute that they have backed off!
The still have their dream and they are still working on it.
Beware and be smart America.

I came up in that generation where the FHA students had rifles in their trucks and we had small pocket knives in our pockets. The guns and knives have not changed that much but the people certainly have. Fully automatic weapons should be limited to our military and law enforcement with out question but there are shotguns on the market which woukd have a similar impact on casualties in these types of shootings.
Let’s look at the whole picture, if the FBI had done their job we may not be having this exchange of views. Chicken or the egg? Let’s not forget the victims and their families who are suffering with a pain that I can’t even imagine.
Cars k**l? Drugs k**l? Guns k**l? no my friend it is PEOPLE I am sad to say.
Let’s for a minute forget about who the President is, we as Americans need to secure our borders and our schools to protect our most important assets our children and our freedom that so many gave their lives defending.
United we stand and divided we fall is not something someone made up but the t***h as you can see looking back in history.
Enough said, God bless you and bless and protect our children and the USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻

Because registration leads to confiscation. Don't think so? How else will they know where to look for them? By the way, what other useful purpose could registration possibly serve?


Unfortunately, we are not constitutionally protected from government vehicle registration. We are, however, constitutionally protected in our ownership of firearms and their use.


What restrictions were those? I know of no restrictions lifted since that Kenyan usurper was removed from our house. However, if there were, I would applaud such a move, "purely on the basis that Obama was FOR them". We'll be paying for his screw-ups for the next 100 years.


Because they did not state that. Quite the opposite in fact. Have you been paying attention to anything they actually said or just picking up the general gist from CNN?


1) Not my leader, my President. There's a distinction you should recognize.
2) 8 year olds are too old to have tantrums. If your 8 year old throws a tantrum, give him a good spanking, he needs it.
3) I'm 55 years old. Is that 'grown up' enough?

Every time something like that awful shooting happens, we go through the same routine. The news breaks, the cameras are in the air and the whole world tunes in. What a ratings c**p! Then the scripted fallout. The Hegelian Dialectic. "Common sense gun control". I swear, if I hear that phrase one more time I'm going to scream. There is nothing 'common sensical' about violating the law. Oh, yes, you're all 'law-abiding citizens' until it comes to something you don't approve of, then you're first in line to flout that same law. Hypocrites. Here's the bottom line:

I have a gun.
You don't want me to have it.
I won't let you take it.
Your move.

Go ahead, I'll wait.

I have never understood why the Demonrats do not want to protect their own? They like violence which was very apparent during the e******ns. Also through the dissemination of A******n which probably helps fuel the need for immigration in any form.
