Too funny - he is gonna put Holder AKA Mexican Gun Smuggler in charge of confiscating 300 million guns from 60 million American Citizens? Also BATFE under Janet Reno needed tanks to defeat a handful of gun owners - how is it going to go over with American citizens when drones and tanks roll through their area blowing up and burning down homes of gun owners?? All this to as Biden said save a life? There are not enough BATFE agents to even begin to execute the executive order - I do not think the BATFE agents are going to be thrilled about this assignment. How long before that becomes the most dangerous job in America? Perhaps Piers Morgan can do reality TV show on BATFE vs Gun Owners?

I wonder if any other cases in regards to possession of a high capacity magazine in D.C. ever required a 3 week investigation and a referral to the AG for prosecution? Does anyone know how other cases like this have been prosecuted? This has always seemed clear cut to me - video evidence on National TV, clear and indisputable possession, case closed - $1000 fine and probation

As a resident of IL and Chicago - there is a constant battle, year after year, in regards to gun control laws - they introduce this type of legislation every year in IL, every year it loses, but the time and money has to be spent to defeat it. They will never go away until the 2nd Amendment is gone. The recent legislation would have banned every semi-automatic weapon (including shotguns). The city of Chicago and state of IL have spent millions fighting all the way to the Supreme Court to maintain gun bans - yet even with the gun bans I knew of hundreds of residents that kept "illegal" handguns in the city - they cannot enforce this stupidity in a city like Chicago, how are they ever going to enforce it in an entire country?

Hmm - and how to comply with this new law - the FBI "instant" background check is taking 13 days now - and that is without bullet purchases which are far higher in volume than guns. Who will pay for the extra staff for this? Who wants to wait 13 days to buy bullets for target shooting or hunting? It will accomplish one thing - create a massive black market for all bullets currently owned. Plus you can always reload - so yet another piece of dumb legislation by a liberal that will prevent absolutely nothing!!

Contrary to most beliefs - crime in IL is not that prevalent - mostly gang problems in IL and when it hits the uptown residents and tourists Mayor Troll cracks down - Mayor Troll does not much mind the gang bangers killing each other cause he could easily stop it if he really cared just like the Aurora IL cops did. Outside of a few suburbs there is not a whole lot of crime cause most criminals know to stay in Chicago where pickings are easier - I live in a suburb where I know the neighbors, and outside of a few they are armed. Real nice place to live.

As an IL resident - gun laws here suck, only state where I cannot legally protect myself when I leave my house (but that changes in 170 days). Some of the elected idiots just tried to ban 80% of the firearms in the state - make 2 million residents instant felons, wonder if they ever gave any thought to how it would be enforced? In regards to Blago - he tried to SELL Obama's senate seat, so he angered V. Jarrett and Obama and his wife Thunderlizard who were in cahoots to do that very thing but much less publicly - not too smart of Blago

I participate in a local archery league - moving targets, popup targets, multiple shots. The top shooters in this league can fire arrows at the same rate as most folks can fire a pump gun, and they are extremely accurate out to about 60 yds - Ban guns and beware the archers! Also know a few in the martial arts who specialize in swords - in close quarters I would take that over any kind of handgun or shotgun - they are constant motion and do not have to reload or change magazines.

In regards to guns - Both my wife and I hunt, we hunt all kinds of game - we target shoot and shoot skeet, trap and sporting clays - we have used all kinds of weapons to take game (spear, knife, shotgun, rifle, handgun, archery) - of all the hunting guns I have ever used I prefer the AR-15 platform it is the most adaptable, efficient. lightweight, maneuverable hunting gun invented - I can go from .223 for small game to .450 for hogs and larger game - it shoots from short distance to long and is easy to mount a red dot to a multiple power scope to a high power light (coyote hunting). I have often had multiple coyotes coming to a call where the AR-15 excels versus a bolt action rifle, same with hogs in TX. I just love hunting with the AR!

Love the comments - but in regards to dealing with liberals, they belong to a fanatical religion, they are zealots for the cause of the day - no logic, no reason, no discussion will sway them - I have several as family members and friends so I live and see the zealotry daily. You must realize that attempting to hold a "discussion" with them is pointless - as Kurt stated they just want you to shut up and be converted - their religious tenets are that no laws shall be applied to them but that whatever they believe shall be binding unto you - thus armed guards for them but no gun for thee, CO2 restrictions and a Volt for you but 5 houses belching CO2 for them and a limousine, Vegan for them and thus Vegan for thee as the religion decrees!

Yes - a guard, the risk factor at your school was next to nil, like 100% of schools - yet taxpayer dollars are wasted on thousands of new guards / police officers at schools today - once again liberals over-react and waste taxpayer money to do nothing (that has to be the only thing they are good at). This was an isolated incident by a mentally deranged adult, yet the liberals created thousands of new "Guard" jobs most likely costing millions and for how long will the guards be there? When the guards are finally unemployed your school is a possible target again - wonder how many of the schools can afford the "guards" permanently?
