remember back to Columbine. After Columbine, the liberals predictably fanned the flames of emotions to pass new gun laws, including an assault weapons ban. They stated then their new "common sense" laws were being put in place to protect the public and stop mass murders from happening in Colorado. Well, apparently their "new laws" back then did not do what the liberals said the new laws would do. So, when there's another mass murder, the liberals run around crying, "We need some new common sense gun laws to protect the public and keep these attrocities from happening. How long before these new gun control laws fail, another mass murder occurs, and the liberals call for more of the same "new, common sense, gun laws to protect the public and prevent future mass shootings". It's readily apparrent to those who are paying attention. Liberals want all guns gone in the end. That is their utopian dream.

Keep in mind that with government cooperation in New York, the home addresses of people licensed to own firearms was made public with interactive maps showing exactly where they lived. This shows that government cannot be trusted, as Bill and Earl point out. It also shows the dangers in registration and licensing schemes for firearms and firearms owners. Our privacy will never be secure once government has all of that information about us. The government will treat us as if we were sex offenders or pedophiles, for merely owning a tool to defend ourselves, hunt, or target shoot. 99.9% of lawful gun owners are just that; lawful. We don't commit crimes and we don't use our guns for nefarious purposes.

Because the term "assault weapons" sounds more diabolical and those types of guns which the progressives label as such look more scary than small handguns?

From the article: [Let the Democrats bring up another gun control bill. Let their hate cloud their strategic thinking. Let them keep making mistakes.] While I agree with this whole heartedly, don't forget that progressives don't believe that they make mistakes. If they experience a political loss, it's only because their message was not loud and clear enough, according to them. Thus, they will be right back in a short amount of time pushing the same bill/laws/issues that they believe they are right about. You can't negotiate with progressives because they believe that there is nothing the conservative side has to offer of any value. Conservatives are always WRONG and progressives are always RIGHT, according to progressive ideology and people such as Saul Alinsky.

America has become in large part, a country of dunces. ] Also, a majority of Americans think gun violence has been on the rise, when in fact it's gone down significantly since 1993. This is in spite of gun ownership and the number of guns in civilians' hands increasing significantly, and more and more states passing permit-to-carry laws. But, alas, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, NYC and other democrat controlled cities have not enjoyed the same reduction in violent crime involving guns, despite strict gun control in some of those same cities, Chicago and D.C. for example.

I think that they are arrogan, intolerant, snot rags. Real snot can actually be useful for some things, such as flushing viruses from your respiratory system. However, once a person has decided that they don't need as much snot as their body is producing, they blow the excess into a snot rag (tissue) and throw it in the garbage at some point in time. Snot rags are worth nothing to anyone.

[Gun control has always had less to do with guns and more to do with control!] Yessir. That's why they invented the term "assault weapons". One of the leaders of the gun control movement, one "Josh Sugarman" stated that it would be the publics confusion over full auto vs. semi auto which would allow the gun control side to outlaw a whole new class of firearms. Why? Because they think they can, eventually. They've run into a much bigger road block than they anticipated and this has them fuming, as well as foaming at the mouth. "What? You rabble are opposing us progressives, who are much smarter and wiser than you? We'll make you pay. We hate you gun owners. You make our utopian dreams become nightmares. We're scared puupless of guns and the mere thought of gun in civilian hands turns our stomachs".

And if not too stupid, too emotional. They should have at least a 365 day waiting period for liberals and democrats (if there's much difference) to get their emotions under control before impulse buying of a firearm.

inmate Hillary Clinton. Get used to saying it. She's going to the big house, not the White House. 3 hots and a cot for HIldebeast. Or, maybe some girl from Kansas will drop a house on her.

absolute nonsense, at that, earl29.
