I happen to think that HRC was supposed to cede control of the US to the UN, with 0bama as head of the UN. Kerry had already signed the small arms treaty. Et voila. Gun confiscation and blue helmets galore. I also happen to think the CF was supposed to be the world’s ‘bank’ for whatever endeavor.

Eventually do as the Israelis have done, give anyone who has passed the proper tests a permit to carry concealed, such as teachers, guards etc. If one or the other of those mentally impaired kids decides to start shooting, just plain and simply shoot to stop whoever it is.

Irrefutable facts are, that our society is not getting anymore peaceful, if anything it getting more violent as time goes by, certainly not everyone but a good portion of it, brought about amongst others by the gradual disintegration of the family structure, partially helped along by policies on the left.

Next the second amendment shall not be infringed as it is a safeguard and a last resort against a government which has become too crooked and corrupt. Our forefathers were well aware of human nature and what power hungry politicians are liable to do or come up with. Not to mention that many of them have become politicians as they are too dumb to hold down a regular job. And as long as the second amendment will stand, even so the left hates and opposes it like the pestilence, politicians can not fudge or come up with excuses why you should not be in possession of a firearm.

Don’t say it can’t happen as we are right in the midst of it, where one department has become about as crooked as the next. Jjust one, the department of revenue collection IRS under Lois Lerner who decided to weaponize who gets audited or who will be refused any tax breaks etc. if they are of the opposing party. Even now after found guilty, she is still on the lose. Not to mention the DOJ or the FBI.

This is a slippery slope and unless someone puts on the breaks and manages to restore public trust something resembling a form of dictator ship is not impossible. In other words we the government will tell you to jump and all you are allowed to ask is “How high and how far” And this is where the second amendment comes in. The world is full of examples, first they come for your guns and next they come for what little freedom there is left.

I do not believe in glamorizing or idolizing guns as like many other weapon over eons have caused plenty of grief, but guns can be useful as a tool when applied and used properly to prevent even greater mayhem, and lets face it cops can’t be everywhere but an armed civilian could be and this is what the Israelis realized sometime ago. And lets face it, Israelis regardless what anyone may say, overall they are some pretty bright and intelligent people otherwise they never would have survived since the dawn of mankind.

This is simple; they’d rather that the GOP does this so that it destroys the party and gives the DEMS complete control for years.

Because it is not about gun control, it is about using emotional issues to get people to vote them into power.

Liberals are horrible people and we must ensure they are voted out of power.

I agree. And if I may .....

Because they’re ALL a bunch of duplicitous liars who say what’s convenient to get elected and then turn a deaf ear on their constituencies

I pointed this out to my wife several times last night.

we still married

She asked about the 1 trillion added to the national debt today.

I pointed out that before obumscupper we had a natty debt of 10 tril, and after the afromentioned name we had 20 tril

we still married

I tell her that the fedgov is RAKING in tax revenues due to record employment (new tax payers) and to focus on the lessing of food stamps and unemployments

She asks me where I get my info....

LORD, You did put me on this earth to help other people, but wow. Much Challenge :)

Any permit or licensing requirement is a clear infringement upon the right to keep and bear arms, in violation of the second amendment. If you should not be armed, you should not be running around loose.

Democrats like to keep wounds open - and occasionally throw salt into them. It’s how they keep their base angry, riled up, hopeless, and pliant. A fired up way to keep everyone ‘on the plantation’...

I would argue they lacked the votes in the Senate

The rural, flyover country elected Democrats would be relaced in the primaries or lose the election if they tried to vote for gun control. Hell, a recall would be initiated before the ink was dry. The Missouri delegation would be nearly all republican except for St. Louis and Kansas City. This is just an example as other states with a long history of hunting for food especially the south would become even more polarized with such actions
