Comparing automobile laws and regulations to fire arms laws and regulations is just about the stupidest thing I have heard, at least today.
Owning and driving a car is a privilege, not a right.
Owning a firearm and the RIGHT to use it in defense of yourself, your family and your RIGHTS is a RIGHT granted by GOD not the state.
I wish I new just how many laws and restrictions there are on firearms ownership and use at the state and federal level, be willing to bet it is a hell of a lot more than a car or truck.
Automobiles of various types are used for murder and mayhem a lot more than ever gets reported, and when it is reported it is usually just a local story that does not get national and world wide coverage. But take just one stupid disaffected person with a gun and for the lamestream media the world just ends. Lets compare auto deaths per year to gun deaths per year and see which weapon has the higher body count.

There should be nothing more to discuss.

There is plenty of things to discuss on this issue. The discussion should center around how my rights have been trampled thus far, and how we should be looking to repeal much of what is considered gun control law.

As far as discussing how they would like to further erode my rights is not going to happen

The libtards love us so much, they are just concerned for our safety.

That’s because gun control is an idiotic proposition to begin with. There is no logic in it- disarming law-abiding people only places weapons in the hands of evildoers, either criminals or a criminal government. Gun control is an irrational idea, and therefore, no debate should be necessary.

I take it none of these presstitutes ever proposed that maybe, just maybe, there should be some more limits put on the first amendment because after all, it was bad reporting by the press, which with malicious intent incited the riots wich took many more lives than were taken in Aurora, because they decided to go with the false story accusing US soldiers of putting the "Quran in the toilet" when it was the detainee who did it. that's not even counting the lives lost to unlicensed and unregistered cartoons of Mohammed. Maybe there should be background checks for reporters to get a speech permit, and a limit put on the number of publications in which they could put a given article, and some bureaucrats could review their articles before publication to insure there was no incitement in them... it might save a life, you know. If the 2nd amendment isn't important than the 1st certainly can't be- it is meaningless and toothless without the second to back it up.

Of course, the left has trashed part of the first one too as far as religion goes, but they still cling to part of it because they've got skin in the game, and I don't think they would take as kindly towards having that sacred part gutted as they do the attempts to gut the second.

Then again they might go for it, as when talk radio is concerned they seem eager enough to see it restricted, perhaps because they believe that they are immune to ever having to suffer the loss of their own rights because so many have sacrificed and protected them for so long.

“...nobody has a rational policy debate about it...”

A rational policy debate to a Progressive is when
everone agrees that guns should be banned.

Just to clarify things. Is He saying that Holmes would have been interviewed when buying a gun? Cops interview for that? Or to conceal carry? I didnt’ hear whether Holmes had a CCW permit or not. If the latter, then the stricter laws wouldn’t even have worked b/c he still would have gotten the guns.

Just wanting some clarification.

I said “should” be nothing to discuss.

Sadly, having rights and keeping them are 2 different things.
