If making guns illegal really worked, then the UK’s rate would be at zero.

This is one battle that we cannot afford to lose and if it takes a revolution, I say count me in! We ALL have ancestors who lost their lives while protecting the US from outside threats. Let’s not let them down now.

In America, the government has never been competent to protect a violent people from violence, so your best protection is your own firearm. I live a quarter-mile from the police station, but I am more confident in the deterrent factor of private firearms than in the police to protect me and my family.

Finally, in America, smuggling is the second oldest profession. If you want it, you can get it, so don’t think the government could outlaw private firearms any better than it has outlawed marijuana, cocaine, or exotic pets.

In the end, firearms and an armed citizenry will outlive the regulatory state here in America.

There should be mandatory gun safety courses to attend. The student must be able to disassemble and reassemble a gun. Learn to shoot and how to clean and care for the weapon.

All these things are all good ideas for people to do on their own. But gun ownership is a RIGHT, not a PRIVILEGE. The government has no right to require such things.

Spend at least 8 hours in community service.

Why should this have any connection to gun ownership? How is putting an arbitrary barrier to gun ownership Constitutional?

Outlaw Obama and his cronies instead of guns.

Guns are not the problem. Criminals are the problem.

I would like to see President Obama try to get rid of the Second Amendment. He & any other Democrats would be toast.

The problem is the guns in the hands of thugs. Get rid of the thugs, problem goes away. Get rid of guns and only thugs will have guns, oh wait they were supposed to give them up too? Must not have received the memo…….

“The police and witnesses have painted a savage picture of Mr. Mixon as a man who stood over his victims, fatally shooting two officers on a street in midday before fleeing into an apartment building, where two SWAT team members died and another officer was injured. Others have portrayed him as a man failed by an overloaded and flawed California penal system where thousands of former inmates flout the parole law and thousands of others skate by in programs where each agent regularly handles dozens of parolees.” — March 25 story by Jesse McKinley and Solomon Moore on Lovelle Mixon, who shot and killed four Oakland police officers after a traffic stop.

Quoted above we have a cop-killer. What was his motivation? Why is it only when it may be ascribed to ‘right wing’ pundits is that motivation put forth?

There is no evidence that anything said by Glenn Beck motivated Poplawski. So why do you ‘Pastor’ continue to push this line? Especially when there is a more heinous killing goes un-commented by you? Be consistent, please.
