Simply put, Kelly said, less people would die due to gun violence if the legislation were put in place.

Not 'Less people would die'.

But 'less people would die due to gun violence'.

See, stabbings, strangulations, poisonings, bludgeonings, suffocations, drownings, death by fire, crashing into victims with cars, all these are FINE. It's *gun* violence. *THAT'S* the problem.

Y'see.

Another Brady Bunch, trading on tragedy and sympathy to push their leftist agenda.

Loughner clearly was mentally ill, Kelly said — and if his condition was entered into the background check system, presumably he would not pass. Arizona, he said, hadn’t entered 121,000 records into the system, and that could certainly make a difference given that 1.7 million have been rejected since 1999.

This sort of skin-deep reasoning amuses me. It's like the old story about the guy who encounters a drunk on his hands and knees groveling around in the street. The guy asks him what he's doing and the drunk replies, "I'm looking for my keys". The man, wanting to be helpful, joins the search asking, "Where did you have them last?"

The drunk points down the road. The man asks why he's is all the way over here and the drunk replies

"The light is better over here"

They know what the proximate cause is but they're either to lazy or just too dishonest to fix the root problem. It's easier to attack the innocent.

Kelly is using this issue and his wife as the conduit to a cushy retirement job, U.S. Senator.....I have no doubt about it.

In any event, he's starting to get on my nerves. He's the Left's newest poster boy. He's everywhere.....like a beady-eyed little ferret that gets in your basement and annoys the hell out of you trying to get rid of it.

I guess it's just me, but when my House was burglarized a few years ago, I was and still am angry with the Perp, not the crowbar he used to pry open the door.

And no, the Cops never caught him (or her).

Looks like I'm starting to dislike Astronauts as much as I dislike Clowns.

If his Wife slipped in the shower and hit her head on the faucet handle, he could blame Delta or Price Pfister.

Yep, pretty mean comment, but I think people trying to abridge my God Given Constitutional Rights deserve all the ridicule I can muster.

Background check to help insure firearms don’t get into the hands of the mentally ill...certainly sounds like a good idea.
But, who gets to decide what is ‘mentally ill’?

Universal background checks on all firearms transfers...sounds like a good idea. But, will the criminals comply?

In point of fact, neither of these ideas would have prevented Newtown.

The only proper immediate response to an armed bad-guy is an equally or better armed good-guy. The police have no obligation to protect anyone, and are mere minutes away when seconds count.

Arm yourself, protect yourself, defend yourself.

Excuse me Mr Kelly...but yes it is.

If your wife (and why isn't her last name Kelly?) and her entourage had been properly equipped with modern semiautomatic weapons, it is very likely that she wouldn't have been shot in the head, that several other innocent bystanders would still be alive...

...and Loughner would properly have been turned into hamburger.

It’s always about the second amendment and property rights.

I should have the ability to gift my weapon to a relative or leave em to my heirs without incurring additional costs to Keep and Bear Arms.

FO and get yer head screwed on straight ....

This sort of thinking is intellectually bankrupt.

Less people would die if we made driving illegal too. It doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. Life is risk. And the freer the life, the greater the risk. This generation seems to have forgotten that.

I don’t want to live in a nice safe cage.

I watched Wallace this morning when he interviewed Wayne LaPierre. He was VERY rude and interruptive. What on earth is happening to Fox?

LIberals/Communists complained about the McCarthy days of background checks on people excercising their 1st Amendment rights, yet, they demand the same for the 2nd Amendment.
