Re: Gun Control

It is kinda funny how some people think the solution to rampant gun violence is more guns. Makes you wonder.

And many more have bought a tombstone with a knife. Oh no... what will we eat our steak with if they ban all knives.

Brings up an interesting question: How important do you have to be before you're assassinated instead of murdered?

Re: Gun Control

While many like to characterize the Democratic party as anti gun and anti Second Amendment, they are neither. Being pro gun control in a nation with 12,000 firearms murders per year is good civic policy. Similarly, no one is talking about forcibly taking away anyone's gun. That is simply NRA stoked hysteria to keep the gun/ammo industry, they lobby so hard for, very profitable.

Are you sure?

I just find it amazing that someone who doesn't live in America would think they know more about my country than I do.

Pretty funny I have to admit. Potentially just sheer coincidence but an interesting fact none the less. With only 2 majour parties in the US it's reasonable to assume a 50-50 chance of being either Dem or Lib. Granted those aren't quite the figures if you include fringe parties etc...

Colorado lawmakers approve sweeping gun-control measures

http://news.yahoo.com/colorado-lawmakers-approve-sweeping-gun-control-measures-014819045.html

"DENVER (Reuters) - Both chambers of the majority Democratic Colorado legislature approved a package of four gun-control measures on Wednesday, capping months of debate in a state that has experienced two of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history.

The most controversial of the bills that are now headed to the desk of Democratic Governor John Hickenlooper is a ban on ammunition magazines with more than 15 rounds, which the governor said he will sign into law.


Other bills included in the package of gun-control laws approved by Colorado lawmakers included a measure to make firearm buyers pay for their own background checks and a ban on online certification for concealed-carry permits, both of which Hickenlooper has said he supports.
Another measure would bar gun purchases by people convicted of domestic violence crimes. Hickenlooper had previously said he was undecided about that until he could see the final version."

Both chambers of the legislature have Democratic majorities and a Democratic governor.

Is Bugaha in Omaha? Other than making a point about gun control, which I am sure some citizens will applaud, the chances of success are very slim.

you would be correct about Bugaha. Hopefully the city gets rid of the nutjob mayor.

At least you didn't say "Journalistic Integrity" That's an oxymoron of epic proportions.

...and I'm more of a Sci-Fi fan. Dr. Who, Continuum, and Being Human would round out my top 3.

Is "Swamp People" your favorite tv show? It is filmed in Louisiana, close to M'ssippi.

registeredGun control: Maine town rejects mandatory gun ownership | World | News | National Post

If you'd done your research and knew what you were talking about, you'd know the ordinance was proposed to open discussion about the issue and to make a point. It was expected that it would fail.

When you live in America, and fully understand that Americans have fought and died to protect our rights and freedoms, then you might understand that a right is not something you vote on. Now quit talking out your ass about things you have no knowledge on.

Re: Gun Control

And now here in Bugaha, our 1 term mayor that survived 1 recall and is running for reelection, Has announced that he proposes banning assult weapons and high capacity mags. This is how he plans to make the city safe, Oh what about the 30+ murders in the last 12 months.....I'm willling to bet none of the murders used an assult weapon..... The Feds haven't banned them, The state hasn't banned them, but the mayor of a city called Bugaha thinks he can ban them.....hmmmmm
