Soo, if she SAYS she wants to take all the guns, it doesnt mean that?

Ahh, common sense, yes we need more common sense. What religions should we restrict? Do we really need this many different versions of Christianity?

And what about the Westboro Baptist church that causes all the trouble? Common sense would say that there are other Baptist churches around and that we won't miss just one. What about Scientology? That is a clear violation of common sense by it's very existence.

What newspapers can we restrict? With the internet and environmental concerns can't we hace just one or two national news outlets?

Why not restrict people's right to privacy? Let the cops search people if they are suspicious, since we truct the government soo much. If you don't have anything to hide then you won't mind being searched. Anything to save just one child's life.

Wouldn't common sense say that we should restrict who people can associate with? I mean, do we really want to have Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts in this day and age?

Yeah, let's start restricting people's rights based on the commen sense instincts of a priviledged few.

Yes sir, the difference between "restrictions" and "restrict" is time, too short amount of time.

And that is why we have the Ammendments to the Constitution, to protect against tyranny in the guise of common sense, restrictions, public safety, public good, public wellfare, etc.

I am all for equitable and fair rules, just not the knee-jerk, not-let-a-crisis-go-to-waste, big government, big brother marxists oppression pathway that we are leisurely strolling down now.

They want to restrict guns to people without criminal records, and those without a history of mental illness etc ... but the NRA is opposed to that ... cos well what they say is that the second amendment applies to the criminals and the criminally insane too ... but what they mean is that if the criminals and nuts dont have guns they cant induce fear in the population into buying more guns from their real backers - the gun companies.

Cool.

I'm gonna break what I said just for this one time.  With what they are saying for the background checks they would take your guns away Srinath because you have Aspergers Syndrome, Which is in the category of a social anxiety issue and mental illness. So they wouldn't let you have your firearms and it would be illegal for you to own them. So how do you feel about that now, knowing that little tidbit of information, since it's gonna directly effect your 2nd amendment right to protect yourself and your family? It will also effect those that have had a history of depression or those that have PTSD or even had PTSD even if cured, so that will effect even our military service men that have bravely served our country that have been in an active war zone or police action zone.

OK I dont think any gun control is going to do anything unless its nationwide. As long as they are leaving pockets like TX or SC, its nearly worthless. I dont agree with "criminals will always get guns" ... they will always get guns if there is holes in the net. The Iron pipe phenomenon is a huge hole. They would do this and that, and leave out TX or SC, we might as well hand over guns to criminals.

This stupid thing isn't my idea, this is a 1/2 assed idea that if it works is more luck than design.

Cool.

Bill -

You say it's crazy to believe that the gov't wants to seize our guns, but at the same time you have been duped by the nut jobs into believing that 9/11 was a gov't inside job.  You can't have it both ways.
These nut job web sites and "news sources " exist for only two reasons - to rile up gullible people and to make a handsome profit in the doing.
And, yes, I have been around long enough.

Because the ultra liberals now in power don't think ordinary people ought to have guns.  Why are handguns outlawed in Canada? - same reason - look who runs Canada.
