   Gun sales have gone through the roof since O got elected. I wonder why?

   A Well-Regulated Militia.
   The definition of well regulated is overdue for major updating.

   Noticed some of the signs…
   “Free Ann Coulter Calendar.”
   “Free Michele Bachmann Calendar”,
   “Join the NRA Today, Mr. LaPierre needs a new BMW”
   “Blow the HELL out of a rabbit today”.
   Scary…

   Care to back that up…the way YOU always demand that everyone who disagrees with you back their claims?

   The sign in the window corner should read “Shoot first and ask questions if you survive.”

   Because you’re easily manipulated by people trying to sell you expensive things that make you feel artificially virile.

   The POINT my dear righties is that Ima demands confirmation of our claims while never providing any himself.

   Funny how I never hear you, or any other conservative asking him if HE’S been ’hiding under rock when he does that.

    When are you people going to wake up and address the core issue of mental illness that causes these tragedies? Everyone is so d*** ready to pass stricter gun laws when it will only effect law abiding citizens. The shooters mom knew she had a son with serious problems, yet, chose to put herself and the community in danger by not having these LOCKED up. Conn. has some of the strict gun laws in the nation and so does Chicago. It only proves that more laws on control are not the answer. Make the punishment for using a gun in the commission of a crime hurt…give a min. of 10 years with no reduction for using a gun during a crime. Laws of this nature will reduce gun related crime. But in order to do this you have to get the feel goody, don’t want to hurt anyone feelings liberals to help pass it.
    Drunk drivers kill more people and yet where is the outrage? Why isn’t there stricter laws on drunk driving? Why isn’t there a move to ban anything that poses a risk?
    @Simon_Jester….we conservatives are busy trying to protect and defend the freedoms that you so carelessly want to trash and give away a law abiding nation to those who came here against the law.

    ODon: If you would read the Constitution, you would know what “well regulated” means. Article II, Section 2:“The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Armyh and Navy of the United State, and of the Militia of the several States”. It was written to “Provide for the Common Defense” [preamble] while avoiding such threats to our liberties as: a standing army, conscription, or mercenaries. Militias can only be used for defense, not invading whatever country has resources the capitalists want. This system was abandoned in the late 19th century in favor of imperialism, as the war profiteers of the Civil War took over the economy. Switzerland still uses it, but then they consider their military for national defense only; their banks can deal with ruling the world.

    LBJ opted for a National gun license program in 1968 after the JFK assassination to make gun owners responsible for their firearms.
    Great idea needs to be dusted off and implimented.

    @Ms. Ima

    I used to read the Front Sight newsletter, because it had some good tips about firearm safety and usage. Then back during Obama’s first campaign, the CEO started putting in screeds about how, if Obama was elected, the first thing he’d do in office was institute a nationwide gun ban and confiscation program. I unsubscribed from the newsletter because I knew that was nothing but paranoia and spreading FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt).
    Funny how that whole “Obama will take your guns” thing never panned out….

    This is not a mental illness issue. Other countries have the same percentage of mentally ill citizens but not the same percentage of gun deaths (suicides or homicides). The primary factor is more guns are in the hands of an “unregulated militia” – our citizens who have so much fear that they feel a need to own guns.
    A secondary factor, if you want to use the mental illness excuse, is that other industrialized countries have universal healthcare. That means that any person can get the professional help they need without having to pay too much for it. If money is not an issue, how many more families would ensure that their children or other loved ones got the care they needed instead of worrying that a specialist like a psychiatrist was not covered by their insurance company or out of their budget? If you think that an improved mental health system is the answer, why do you fight universal healthcare? The solution you are looking for is one you keep shooting down.
    Also, nobody ha ever given me the answer of why they NEED an AR-15, AK-47, or other semi-automatic large capacity weapon. Please don’t hide behind the “because it’s my right” excuse. It is my right in my state to have a gay marriage now, it doesn’t mean I have to have one.
