The really sad thing is that there are sooooo manyyyyyy folks out there that jump on the bandwagon when there is a tragic incident which allows their political leaders to capitalize and furthers their agenda - yeah, capitalize on the deaths of children; good job Obama that'll get you a thumbs up from Hollywood and the rest of your constituents. Fact is, he's been waiting for this moment for 4 years. Sad.
Idiots (politicians).
Hey, no getting that crap past me. Really? You think the President has been waiting all these years and is now happy he has the opportunity to push anti-gun legislation because of the murder of those children? You know that is BS. Guys like you would blame Obama if you got hit by lightning. No politicians have wanted to address this issue until recently.......democrat or republican. It is not a smart career move, but enough is enough and it is obvious that some changes are coming. It would be great if this was not necessary, but these tragedies have forced rational voices to speak a little louder than usual.
How could we ever disarm this country? Its not going to happen. 5 yrs from now you guys are still going to be hunting, going to the range, protecting your homes and families like a bunch or rent-a-cops. And its your right to do so! You do have a better chance of shooting yourself than being a hero though. Jim! Where's the stats for that? Thats not my department.
Collectively, as gun owners you do have to assume some responsibility for the current state of affairs. I believe you need to be more proactive in defending your 2nd Ammendment rights. Instead you are only reacting to the backlash of loose regulations and irresponsible gun ownership. If you had voluntarily taken steps to properly care for your weapons then you would not be under such scrutiny. You are the passionate ones that cannot live without these weapons. Show us you have it under control and maybe you will get some room to breathe.
If people send their first grader to school and learn that they are not coming home because they were shot 11 times with a "hunting" rifle........ then they are going to question why someone had access to that weapon.
Most of the posters on this thread need to quit the futile fight to preserve the status quo. Its time for compromise and we need constructive input. Its the lack of effort on your part and on the part of organizations like the NRA that are unexceptable. Certainly, we can do better than this.
