Ha ha Now you're shifting it away from bombing schools. Are you now saying arming everyone could have prevented OC bombings. Next, you will say that more firearms in Japan could have prevent Hiroshima and Nagasaki from the A-bomb. Since when did this thread on background checks turn into bombings. Do you want to compare the total killed each year by guns vs bombings ? You lose there too.
You are wrong. The most effective way to keep those who commit crimes with guns from wanting to commit those crimes, is education and jobs. You completely dismiss that encarcerating more people at a rate that is the highest on earth, has not worked. When you start encarcerating that many people for what you think they might do, you become Russia and China. You are now willing to sacrifice the constitution for gun sales. When you guys start listing crimes you would execute people for, and they are not even crimes for killing people, you are out of your collective minds and have less respect for our constitution then little 2a rants would propose.
Some people would rather sell illegal drugs than commit to a lower paying job with regular hours, they prefer the unfettered freedom of the party life of the drug dealer.
As long as you don't support raising the minimum wage to a living wage, yes, you encourage criminal behavior. If you can find a way to support yourself, let alone a family on $8.00 an hour, try it.
Good grief. a Faux reference. Should have known. http://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapo...npr-listeners-not-poll-suggests/#5bb801ed6189
Stop coddling convicts, set forth punishments that equal the crime and leave the 2nd Amendment alone. Grabbing the guns of law abiding citizens surely isn't the answer, even though that seems to be your only answer...
A) I have not advocated incarcerating anyone who has not committed any crime. Further, we should, in my opinion, reserve incarceration, loss of liberty, for those who pose a violent danger to peaceable society. Those who are sent to jail for non-violent crimes have been incarcerated to no real benefit for society. B) I have not advocated for anyone to be put to death.
Dianne Feinstein of Cal. is/was a legal permit carrying gun owner. All gun owners,even if they are law abiding, should be qualified to carry a gun , or they should not have the unregulated right to carry a gun out side the home or sell it to anyone else who is not a qualified gun owner. If a legal person does not want to spend $20, fill out a form and get a little training from an other qualified individual and get a background check, then they should not be carrying, buying or selling a gun. Legal isn't enough. Regulated Gun ownership is constitutional.
I get no faux NRA news. Especially from LaPierre for what he says in political speeches. To disrespect our bros. in arms in a political speech, all 1.3 million of them when he avoided service during a war some of us had to serve, is the sign of a despicable human being. People like this should not be speaking for the 4 million NRA members unless they feel the same way as he. If they do, they aren't really listening to him. He cares not for his members, only the money and support of the gun makers. He is a fraud. Wayne LaPierre made, quote, "I will lose more on the election battlefield than our nation has lost in any battle, any time, anywhere" --
Since he was referring to Obama's election, many would agree. BTW: Good to know you do get your info about the NRA from lib blogs. You know, where all the snowflakes find outrage about everything.
Except it has been proven, time and time again, that they can easily acquire firearms through illegal and untraceable channels. The current system of background checks is doing nothing to prevent such from happening.
You should be ashamed of him too. It doesn't matter who the president is or what your politics, to use the lives of 1.3 million military personel in a political statement when the author himself, avoids service does an injustice to all those who serve and died for our country. The lives of the military is not a political toy you can prop up and use. LaPierre obviously does not respect the service to our country. That many would agree just means those many are equally accountable.
Oh gee whiz, there are many jobs that pay better than minimum wage.... Some cats just do not want to work hard. They till want to drive a fancy car and have a huge television.
Tell you what I will have trump and the CEOs of companies as neighbors you can have the child molesters. I bet I sleep better at night. Truly what is wrong with you.
The majority of people in prison are non violent felons and are there on drug charges. If you removed this segment of the population, all of the prisons in this country would be virtually empty.
Sounds about right. - - - Updated - - - And if you don't. - - - Updated - - - And big guns. They want big guns too.
No, they want small pocket guns, easy to conceal .. Since I am authorized and do not have to worry much about bulges, I carry a full size service sidearm, much easier to control and place shots with surgical precision.
Odd thing to say. Internal hammer .357s will kill the ever loving snot out of people right from a jacket pocket. Not big. Not protrusive. Multiple treatments of hot lead, totally effective w/in, say, 20'.
Be advised, that firing a gun in the pocket will burn the ever loving snot out of your gun hand and ruin the jacket..... I learned that hard lesson with a customized Colt Lawman MK III with a 2 inch barrel, .357 Magnum......
