Let's hope that all the knuckle draggers pull their fingers out of their ears, remove their heads from their arses, take off their helments and step out of their foxholes and realize a couple things.
You will still have access to handguns,rifles and shotguns to protect yourself and your homes.
And still go hunting and target shooting.
Just can't do it with assault type weapons with more than a 10rd clip.
With 4.5mill NRA membership vs the rest of the country your gonna lose.— gibby58- Have you read some of the proposed legislation?
Handguns, common hunting rifles, and common hunting shotguns WOULD be banned or required to be placed on the NFA registry, which is an expensive and cumbersome process (and illegal in some states).
Gun Control proponents are lying to you. They call it 'common sense' and say that they're only going after a small group of firearms, when in fact they're going after a large majority of firearm types.
Remember, this is coming from the people who sold you healthcare reform that "we have to pass to find out what is in it".— DeltaV - No, we aren't. NRA membership is but a fraction of total gun ownership. I own guns, not an NRA member. Sooo maybe you wanna rethink your position. Who is going to come get all my clips larger than 10 rd's? Sig P226 comes standard with 4 20 round magazines...Glock G19 comes with 2 15 round magazines. There have been a LOT of Glock and Sigs sold, plus all the extra mag's most gun owners have. 300 million guns in America. the 2nd Amendment isnt for hunting and target shooting. Its to protect us from wing nuts like you. — Mottz
- You really think they are coming to your home and taking what you already own?
As for the Sig & Glock the elimination of 15 & 20 rd mags will be history.
You'll own what you own just cannot purchase anymore.
So hurry up and run down to the local gun shop and stock up.— gibby58 - I see that there are lots of paranoid fanatics on today talking about how the gubment is gonna take their guns away. If anything, the key things that will come out of this is the limitation of assault rifle sales, universal background checks, closing of the gunshow loophole and making ammo magazines of more than 10 rounds illegal.
Do you honestly think the government is gonna come knocking on your door to take your guns away? Do you realize how economically unfeasible that would be? With the amount of gun owners in this country, they wouldn't even have the manpower to do so.— daxtremesolja - Dax and Mottz - Biden and the rest of the ignorant Democrats ARE going to lose, that is unless they want to spark the next Civil War. Everyone knows mental health laws and violence in video games and movies is to cause here, but they refuse to address those issues as their intent was ALWAYS the 2nd Amendment.
Already Governors in WY and VA and LA and TX and several other states are drafting legislation to nullify any attempt by the Federal Government to interfere with the 2nd Amendment in any way shape or form.
Further, if the Imperialist Obama wants to try and use Executive Orders to illegally usurp the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, then I guess we finally have our answer that he and other parties have violated the Constitution and introduced total anarchy.— Professor1982 - ProfessorParanoia, care to explain how violent movies and video games are the cause of gun violence here in the United States yet the rates of gun violence in other places around the world such as Canada, Japan, Europe, etc THAT HAVE THE SAME ACCESS TO THE SAME VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES AND MOVIES are much lower? — daxtremesolja
- Dax if you believe the rest of the world has as much video game exposure as the US does, you ARE a complete and utter dope.
Further, you can't measure the US culture vs that of these other nations whereas US culture SURROUNDS popular media whereas these other cultures do not.
Try traveling a bit instead of thinking the world revolves around the US...you're an ugly American like the Griswolds in Europe.— Professor1982 - Yea I didn't think you could explain it professor since you're clearly ignorant of other cultures/countries and their exposure to the same violent media that we are.
As an example of just how wrong you are, here's evidence of how violent video games have little to no impact on gun-related murders:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2012/12/17/ten-country-comparison-suggests-theres-little-or-no-link-between-video-games-and-gun-murders/
I rest my case.— daxtremesolja - LoL...poor dax. Showing your ignorance. Simply posting a link is no substitute for actually living in other countries.
Typical left wing blow hard....all talk no facts or experience.
BTW, if your citing the WP as a source, you have more to be worried about then your opinions.— Professor1982 - Poor professor, denying facts that don't fit his "informed world view."As Mr. T eloquently put it, "I pity the fool!" (HTML deleted) — daxtremesolja
- "Do you honestly think the government is gonna come knocking on your door to take your guns away?"
Considering that politicians such as Feinstein have said on record numerous times (clips can be found on youtube) that if they could get the votes they would ban and round up all guns, yes.— DeltaV - Labels are NOT value neutral. They are used to establish political and social agendas. For example: America is a violent Nation (not one of many) just a violent nation and one takes away the emotional response that America is violence personified, really? Some facts may prove otherwise. Keep in mind that NO eastern bloc nation and most of South America and the Far East do NOT make crime statics public….anyone what to take a guess at Russia’s violence, or North Korea?

— STEPHEN1988 - "Biden, NRA clash over new gun control proposals"
key word "CONTROL" that is all this president wants, total control. "the president had already made up his mind" typical, "my minds made up do not confuse me with the facts". been to many "gun shows" and have yet to see a firearm purchased without a background check and a batf form filled out. internet sales, something new the liberal media started. in 1968 i believe laws were passed that no mail order firearms could be sold. all internet sales have to go though a ffl licensed holder and background checks are done. control, control, control, that is why we have the "Bill of Rights" attached to the Constitution.
