General David Petraeus is forming a gun control group with Gabby Giffords husband Mark Kelly.
The goal of the group will be to push national adoption of the same universal background checks that have failed in California, Colorado, Washington state, and Paris. In fact, Petraeus will be pushing the same background checks that Giffords attacker passed in order to acquire the gun he used to wound her on January 8, 2011.
According to The Hill, Kelly announced the launch of the group by talking about military members commitment to protect our constitution and homeland. He suggested political leaders now need to step up and do more to protect our rights and save lives.

So the rumors of Hilary picking him to be VP are starting to make sense...
"You mean the rubes actually believe that whole 2nd Amendment thing?"
"Not a problem boss, they think it only applies to law abiding citizens."
"This should be easy. We just make new laws ... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
FOAD A-hole....
Your view is pathetically in the minority.
So if the gun grabbers ever do get their "Universal Background Checks" they are suddenly going to "discover" this (they, of course, already know), then their next push will be, "We just discovered those rascally gun owners are just ignoring universal background checks and law enforcement can't do anything because they don't know who owns what. So we now need "common sense" Mandatory Universal Registration to be able to enforce the background check law...it's for the CHILDREN!"
Ammo up!
So he wasn’t only a traitor to his wife?
The Traitor class is growing, I guess there is a price for being let off prosecution for espionage and keeping the pension.
Excellent comparison.
Just not the Obamas, Clintons, Kerrys, DemoRats, Socialists, Communists or Atheists.
Dear Marijuana Dealers:
When the dems legalize it weed prices will drop astronomically.
When the dems make guns illegal gun prices will skyrocket.
Do what you gotta do. My counseling fee payable in RPGs.
One problem I see form the git go is how will you enforce this?
Politicians pass a lot Bills that are simply unenforeceable to begin with. We have seat belt laws but it is no enforceable, if the police catch you then it’s a ticket, otherwise no. Same with cell phone use and texting, those come to light after a wreck not before most of the time. The list goes on and on.
People will continue to buy and sell as they want until they are caught.
What are you waiting for?
MOLON LABE!
Ahhhh!!! got his marching orders at the Bilderberg meeting.
Well come 1/1/2017 it’s looking like “recreational MJ” will be fine and dandy here in NV. Up to an ounce? No problem. Prices may drop but the state will be imposing a tax on it. Will the tax be as high as for cigarettes, which are bad for you but MJ isn’t. Looking forward to many slow speed pursuits.
Then I have absolutely no respect for him.
When did he go to jail??
Maybe he agrees to do crap like this to avoid going to prison.
Your point is well taken that the push for background checks will soon be followed by a push for national gun registration.
However, Democrats have an old saying: “Guns kill at the polls”. They’ve gotten burned on gun control before, like in 1994. Pushing Federal registration for all firearms (in the 1960’s they said they only wanted handguns registered) in the Congress is still pretty risky.
So far it’s only certified nutjobs in hermetically safe seats who propose such legislation, which usually dies in committee. Rosa DeLauro & Chuckie Schumer are the typical suspects.
Even if the Dems took over the Senate, a national registration bill would still be politically dangerous for “red state” Democrats. Dingy Harry Reid will be up to his old tricks of denying the bill a full floor vote since a vote for gun control still sticks to Democrats like green oobleck.
Bammie has been p***ing and moaning ever since Newtown that he can’t just whisk gun rights away with a stroke of his pen. Betray-us is about to discover the same.
No doubt that Guy is brilliant but probably spent too much time with Ivy Leaguers.
This guy is like John McCain. Past military service is outweighed by later douchebaggery.
