A suggestion for those of you that get Shotgun News. Vin Suprynowicz's column in the curent issue(Jan 10,2013) and not just about "gun" control makes for an excellent read. It essentially summarizes what most of us Conservatives have been saying about what's now fundamentally wrong in the United States today.
I have put this informations in Misfires but I think this column is of enough general interest to warrant placing a note here.
Here is a link to his site but the Jan 10 column hasn't been posted yet. However there's other information of general interest.

I'll make one comment here to keep this thread alive. If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.

Gross tragedies such as the Newtown, Connecticut rampage are an unfortunate consequence of our Jeffersonian freedom to bear arms, just as the publication of hate literature and pornography are the unfortunate consequences of our Jeffersonian freedom of speech. With tears in my eyes, I am willing to pay this bitter price because I am convinced that a society in which only the police have guns will inevitably become a police state. The wide spread anti-gun rhetoric neglects to address this critical conscientious objection to gun control.

The above link will take you to a YouTube video that splices a "celebrity" anti-gun PSA with actual clips of the celebrities using guns and glorifying violence in their movies.....and getting rich doing it. Where's the movement to address the glorification of violence, murder, mysogeny and mayhem in movies( and video games)? The hypocrisy is sickening.

I'm no fervent "NRA gun Nut" (although I am a member), don't own a "black gun" and carry (when I do actually carry) a Kahr K9 with a capacity of 7+1. I believe in the 2nd Amendment. Residing here in Connecticut gives me an up close and personal view of the current anti-gun situation we are facing. Every gun shop I know locally is completely sold out of Ar-15 style weapons and HC mags. One shop has a waiting list 150 deep for AR's with many already paid in full. And .223, .45 and 9mm ammo--good luck! This has been largely ignored by the local media, they're bent is squarely in the "ban the guns" camp.

The problem is societal and systemic, passing laws only law abiding citizens will adhere to is not the answer. They're talking about a 50% ammo tax, as if a cretin determined to kill as many people as possible, and die doing it, is going to care whether he pays $30 or $20 per box of ammo?! Silly! That tax will hurt a law abiding sportsman who shoots 100-200 or more of rounds of clays per month in a big way though.

Until we force our "leaders" to address the root issues of violence in our society, and demand from them logical programs that address our safety we will be revisiting these awful tragedies again and again. Besides the victims and their families ( who I am heartbroken for) the only others who'll pay the price for the demented and homocidal actions of the sick few are law abiding, peaceful minded Americans.

This is what the Libtards voted for, sadly some on this board.....

The "Sick Lot" in power now, will never address the real problem, just add a few bandaids here and there and destroy the 2nd amendment where they can...........

Now that you boys have drawn some attention to yourselves and this has turned into childish name calling, can we move it to the sandbox section of the board?

Please get this off of here...Its pollution!

sand box??? gee Greg any chance you even think they might come for your guns one day too ???

Jim, your wasting your time here,they don't don't care or want to know about "someone else" losing their rights to own guns

Nope. But I'm not a bullying, paranoid nut job, either....

Move it.

I thought this was a intellectual and adult forum not a reactionary group of people who can only spew what they hear Rush Limbaugh, Rachel Maddow and Glen Beck types spread. Please think for yourselves.

It is very easy to make personal attacks but what does that get you except encouraging more ignorance. When we lose the ability to converse civilly we end up with a more divided society with increased extremism.
