Are the Second Amendment "rights" of Americans really being "threatened" - or is this complaint just another gimmick to get the right-wing, reactionary base "fired up" for 2012?

So "Universal Checks" WILL work???????

"The report by the Americans for Gun Safety Foundation says nearly 1.7 million firearms were reported to police as stolen from January 1993 through August 2002. The number of guns stolen per year has declined, from 221,322 reported in 1993 to 138,035 in 2001, the report says."

Lloyd Benson (Clinton's Secretary of Treasury 1993-94) "There are almost 150,000 guns STOLEN in this country each year. Many of those WILL END UP IN THE HANDS OF A CRIMINAL."

REALLY???????????????

I agree with universal checks.

So let’s move on. Universal checks will prevent felons and other previous lawbreakers from getting guns but we currently do not prosecute all attempts by these folks from trying to by a gun which is against the law. Why is that? I don’t know.

Universal background checks will make you feel good but until the Gov’t complies a searchable list of the diagnosed mentally ill, schizophrenics, bipolar etc, (illnesses you can have and pass a background check) you will be missing the on the large population who are most likely to commit the crimes that we find so disgusting. You don’t see anyone rushing this idea to the forefront because the ACLU will fight this as a privacy issue.

Here you go konect , now just what would you expect them to say ?

Obama uses old, misleading figures to argue for gun sale background checks

Munster - I know that talking to you is the equivalent of trying to convince a rock of something and I have posted the following information before but, here we go again, JUST FOR YOU.

YOU SAID, "And I bet that most of these nutjobs are probably republicans !"

THEY SAY, "SHOOTERS WERE DEMOCRATS (mass murders)"

Couldn't have said it better mysel Munster - And that's the worry , Democrat nutjobs making life or death decisions ! That is what we have in there now !!

And that's the worry , nutjobs making life or death decisions !

Reason for all to be armed: "when predators can't tell the difference between the wolves and the sheep the whole flock is safer"

And I bet that most of these nutjobs are probably republicans !

Mexican drug lords have influence all the way into that Liberal bastion "Bloombergland". Ya think maybe Mike should discuss with Barry not to be giving Jose any more weaponry, as part of a promise made to Sarah, to implement US gun control, "under the radar", if need be?

Just give it enough time and some other NUTBALL, that should have been easily recognized and institutionallized, will emerge, shoot up something else, and YOUR hero, Barry, can jump up and yell, "See there! I tried to tell ya!!!!"

But your not a mexican drug lord and have no need for a military assault weapon !

Yeah Munster, you're RIGHT (for once)!

Ask any billionaire Mexican drug lord that buys his personal army's FULLY-AUTOMATIC firearms from China or Russia or Israel, that is when the Obama administration isn't selling them to him.

We all know that if a criminal wants a gun they will be able to get one !

Im sure theres a gun dealer thats not a republican that will be more than glad to take his money ! That guy just lost a bunch of money ! After all the buyer was a space shuttle commander and hero of the united states !

“We should look for ways to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill prone to misusing them, but I oppose legislation that will be used as a vehicle to impose new Second Amendment restrictions on responsible, law-abiding gun owners. We should work to reduce tragic acts of violence by addressing violence at its source, including untreated mental illness, the lack of adequate information-sharing on mental health issues, and the breakdown of the family.” ~ U.S. Senator Marco Rubio

County Sheriffs of Colotado (CSOC), Utah Sheriffs Association, Florida Sheriffs Assoc, Georgia Sheriffs Assoc, Indiana Sheriffs Assoc, New Mexico Sheriffs Assoc, Wyoming Assoc of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police, Sheriff David Clearke of Milwuakee County (the one on the raido that said get your gun, dont wait for us) all sent a notice to President Obama (King Pinnocchio) the they would enforce laws protecting citizens 2nd ammendment rights that are guaranteed under the Constitution..
