Government Security Is Just Another Kind Of Violence
The senseless and horrific killings last week in Newtown, Connecticut reminded us that a determined individual or group of individuals can cause great harm no matter what laws are in place. Connecticut already has restrictive gun laws relative to other states, including restrictions on fully automatic, so-called “assault” rifles and gun-free zones..."
Perhaps Obama should give up his right to have the Secret Service protecting his ass. He needs to practice what he preaches and put his $$$ where his mouth is. Just sayin

The right-wing's best defense = their own abject stupidity ... Reality always wins out in the end, and the reality of this matter is that the nutwing gun advocates have lost. The percentage of gun owners in America has been steadily falling and is nearing a mere 1/3 of the country. The other 2/3 of Americans are tired of the nutwing protecting the right of would-be murderers to easily access any type of weapon they want with little to no controls. That's going to end. That's the reality of situation.

If what I'm about to say makes me a "right wing nut job" so be it. The purpose of the 2nd Amendment is so the people can form militia's to fight back against a tyrannical government or against an invading country. The government is far too idiotic today to be tyrannical but who's to say the government won't become oppressive 2-3-4 generations from now. Stripping our seeds the ability to fight back against the government or against foreign invaders is shameful and down right stupid.
Criminals will always have guns. Do you think a Crip, Blood, MS13 or any other gang will just hand over their AR15's when they haven't giving up M16's yet? Come on yo.
What the reality of the situation needs to be is more effort geared towards finding out what causes mental illness and the best ways to treat mental illness. Its very obvious that we're no where near up to date here.
The NRA needs to stop blaming video games, music video's, and movies. Sh*t you didn't see someone kill 10+ after watching "The Godfather" or any Terminator movie.

You do know that one of the theories on why Japan didn't try to invade, and had no plans to invade the US mainland was due to the large number of weapons in civilian hands, right?

Where did you get that? I would LOVE to see a source for this.

Do you not understand that ANY gun law would just be a facade? All the controls someone puts in place only strengthens the black market. I'm not saying that there shouldn't be a more comprehensive database of people who were denied purchase, but banning ARs outright is only going to keep law abiding citizens from having ARs.
Yeah, I think we know why you would like that.
