Springer- And anyone else who thinks it's possible to deal rationally with the anti-gun crowd:
Their goals are simple: The first goal is containment thru legislation to limit firearms availability. The second goal is registration so anyone owning firearms is readly identifiable in a national database. The third goal is confiscation and the ultimate elimination of private firearms ownership. This is being funded by wealthy ultraliberal leftists like George Soros who is the financing behind the United Nations small arms reduction ploy. Jim
The 2nd Amendment IS an unalienable right.

It always makes me smile when foreign leaders speak out about America and just returning from a trip to Germany it always makes me think that people have no clue what America stands for or is about. Yet as JFK said we are the only country in the world that has to build walls NOT to keep people in but to keep people out!! How F'n great is that!!! All the best

Ozpa/Todd,
I am taking your last comments as though they were directed to me and to them I reply: look again at the news coverage displaying hundreds of armed police officers huddle behind car doors and trees as the students and faculty are murdered. Then ask the question, were any of them taking fire? Then asks your self, if my son or daughter was inside that building, what emotions should arise? Had you been there, what would have been your instincts even if you were unarmed? I stand by what I have said. Those who would disarm us use the fear emotion(of law abiding gun owners) to justify themselves. We are certainly more justified in our fear of insane criminals, complacent politicians and timid police officials.
They are adept at ignoring us now, but just wait till they get a chance to treat the otherwise law abiding as criminals because we own guns. Then you bet they'll spring into action!
Kurt

http://www.bradycampaign.org/blog/This might be a good place to have your voice heard, there are always several blogs going on and one now by Mrs. Brady, yes, you can post there. If nothing else some interesting points of view. The people who would like to remove all firearms most likely don’t read this site, the people who give money to the anti-gun cause read places such as bradycampaign.

When you are the only person at a gun fight what difference does it make if your clip hold ten, 12, 15 of 30? This shooting event took place over several minutes, not 60 seconds. Had he walked in with ten extended clips and shot 300 bullets in a minutes time, killing this many then your shorter clips might make sense. As it was he was the only one there with a gun and took his time. A sick person who did an unspeakable crime.
Most of us here are not camo clad weekend warriors with a big clip complex. But the sad fact that the only type of gun regulation that would have stopped him after he started shooting people would have been a legal concealed weapon by another student, teacher or police officer which is forbidden on campus and the regulation I am talking about would have been a small group in a vital area on him.

Springer,
Virginia has a one handgun a month law. It obviously did not work because he waited until he had two.
A waiting or "cooling off" period obviously did not work, because we all know that he didn't "cool off".
As for banning or restricting the capacity of magazines, they tried that with the now expired "Semi-automatic assault weapon" ban under Clinton. That did not work. People just bought and stocked up on grandfathered "pre-ban" magazines.
What would it have mattered if he had one or two 15 round magazines, or seven or eight 10 round magazines?
We, as a country, have to figure out a way to keep guns out of the hands of psycho's like this guy. The story is not guns, they were the tools that he committed this tragedy with. The story is WHY he was allowed to stay enrolled at Virginia Tech, and WHY he was allowed to live in the dorms, and WHY he was even allowed out in public with the DOCUMENTED problems that he had.
You need to understand that the anti-gun crowd does not want more restrictions, they want NO firearms, period.
Kind regards,
|

You'll not hear a peep from the left on how the school and police dropped the ball at VT. A well regulated, gun-less gov't run welfare state is what they're after. ...and some of your income for those who sleep-in a little durning the workweek.

...and some of your income for those who sleep-in a little durning the workweek. Yeah, I got an earful lastnite from a friend. He bought a piece of property 7 yrs ago for $75k cash, and sold it last yr for $225k. When taxes were paid, he cleared $63k. Now that's supporting your local late sleepers! Needless to say, he's looking for a more creative tax man.
