Re: Gun Control

It is time to tell what all Americans know. Our founding fathers did not want us armed to fight off a tyrannical government. They knew that one day we would need Canada's natural resources...and not want to pay for them...just sayin.

Re: Gun Control

Where you there when it was ratified? If not, how do you know what situation it was ratified for?

Read The Federalist Papers.

Re: Gun Control

I'm glad you concluded your post that way HenryT2. I've been pondering something here...

Why is it every American was shitting themselves in fear to call Bush an idiot, but nobody has any problems whatsoever criticizing Obama?

I beg your pardon... I'm an equal opportunity offender!!!!!!!!!!! I'll call it as I see it!

Re: Gun Control

With the push for gun control in a holding pattern on Capitol Hill, gun-control groups are vowing to meet Obama's challenge to beat the NRA at its own game.

NRA ardor, clout overwhelm gun-control groups, for now

As Wednesday's vote showed, the NRA can count on their 4.5 million members to leap into action when it counts. Gun-control groups have yet to match that type of enduring intensity.

The NRA's stance against expanding background checks to people who buy guns over the Internet and at gun shows, reversing its earlier support, put the NRA at odds with 80 percent to 90 percent of the public.


But as Wednesday's vote showed, a motivated minority that cares passionately about an issue often carries more weight in Washington than a majority that is not quite as focused on that single issue.


Gun-rights groups have donated $596,000 to the sitting members of the Senate since 2007, while gun-control groups have donated only $5,000.
The NRA and other gun-rights groups "are perennially among the most powerful interest groups in Washington,"

Or,
they figured out that enhanced background checks only affect law abiding citizens, the regular background checks were perfectly suitable if properly enforced, and enhanced background checks wouldn't affect criminals with guns even a little bit, and came to the conclusion that this was a waste of time.

Re: Gun Control

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. The American Republic is a well armed sheep contesting the vote.

2A was ratified for EXACTLY the situation we have now with those who would eradicate it.

Re: Gun Control

So every single gun control ammendendment went down in flames a couple of days ago.. it seems that even if "90%" of the american public wants higher restrictions on gun control, they don't want it done via changing or removing the 2nd ammendment...Proof positive that the needs/wants of the few, still don't outway the needs/wants of the many...If the 2nd ammendment is to be changed then it's gonna have to be done the old fashioned way...75% of the states ratifying it..god bless america..Let the states impose their own rules on gun sales and ownership if they can get them passed through the state system...I think this is a definate blow to the criminal element...makes up for the recent south Florida incident where a K-9 hit on a residents property and they arrested the guy for growing or making drugs..Since Florida classifies it's K-9s as law enforcement officers, the dealer got out of the charges by stating that the "law enforcment officer" had no search warrent and the FLorida judicial system agreed with him. Since we refuse to put criminals away for their offenses, at least we can keep our guns to defend against them..BTW the Boston idiots/terrorists used pressure cookers to make their bombs...I think the next law we should try to pass is to outlaw pressure cookers..Emujo

Re: Gun Control

Emjo, you are a POS! In plain daylight , you somehow think you are handing gun owners rights when 90% of Americans think you are a loon.

Shame! Shame! Shame!

You are redundant part of the 90s when republicans were strong. It is 2013 and you need to think beyond your feeble web post. POS and shame to comment on recent American gaves.

Sorry Emujo! I should have not have said what I did. I guess I snapped during a semi incoherent web post.

So, are you calling Emjo a Point Of Sale? The boss has POS on the side of my truck and he said it is referring to Point Of Sale cash registers, although some smart ass customers say it refers to the quality of their copier.

People were fearful to criticize Bush? Maybe you didn't have access to a TV, internet or social contact during some of his first term, and definitely his second term... Critics were everywhere

The media was all over Bush , calling him out on his speaking blunders , etc.
He was not trained to be an orator .
