It's so odd that wanting a gun around the house seems to be a HUGE issue for some folks.
Every Swiss home has a rifle and no one says a work. It's a very conservative family....
Here, it is a BIG DEAL for some reason.

Obama made us realize the # 2 reason why we need our guns, the first for peronal protection in a society where it may take 30 mins - hour + for the local PD to show up - tyranny

Maybe there are people, previously under the mistaken belief that the “government” was competent and benevolent and could take care of them and protect them and make everything better.....actually realize that it can’t. Only they really can. And things are real.

Sitting here watching “The Walking Dead” earlier tonight and the stream of self reliance, preparedness, and, protecting yourself is so strong in it. Always has been. It’s great in that respect. Maybe it’s making some impact.

This is nice but the will of the people doesn’t seem to matter much when it conflicts with the leftist agenda.

So much for the lib agenda. This should be used to crush gun grabbing dems in the midterms!

Citizenship means standing up for the lives that gun violence steals from us each day," the president said Tuesday.

I have never met a violent gun before. I have seen plenty of violent people however. I think people are figuring that out.

The last thing the “Democratic” Party cares about is the will of the American people.

"Citizenship means standing up for the lives that gun violence abortions steal from us each day,"

Sorry Barry. "Citizenship" is different than being an American. You wouldn't understand.

Need to see this breakdown by state. That will give us a better picture of this issue.

Switzerland has a very low crime rate because they don’t allow a lot of foreigners to immigrate. IIRC, a very large portion of the murders are committed by foreigners, too.

The majority of people were AGAINST Obamacare and the Rats passed it anyway.

Obama is neither an American nor a citizen. He is an illegal alien Muslim from Africa.

It’s amazing what the liberal media basically hides from the public.

You’d never get any sense of the mood like this regarding gun laws.

My brother went Euro tripping with his college buds 3 years ago and he couldn’t forget while in Switzerland at a local grocery store (Lidl), the customers in line were carrying..hard not to notice. In the US, the clerk would have freaked out and called 911.
