It must be a conspiracy
Conducted from July 31 to August 6, the poll shows the majority of likely voters in all three swing states do not favor stricter regulations for gun sales.
Voters in Colorado, where a gunman last month killed 12 and injured many more when he opened fire in a crowded movie theater, were most likely to favor keeping gun laws exactly as they are, with just 38 percent wanting stricter gun sales in their state. Sixty-six percent of voters in that state also said they do not believe harsher gun laws would curtail future shooting sprees; 60 percent of Virginia voters and 57 percent of Wisconsin voters share that view.

Because secretly we gun owners are saying to ourselves, "I wish they would try that with me."
Exactly. The hero-wanabes live in a fantasy Rambo World where they stand up in a hail of bullets that never hit them and Take Out The Bad Guy. They would then be America's Hero, interviewed by their own heroes - O'Reilly and lushbo. Their wives would once again be willing to have sex with them and their neighbors would idolize them.
BTW, I own guns and don't share this childish, Mighty Mouse fantasy but I do believe you are correct. But, the mass shootings continue and no heroes stand up to Save The Day and Get The Girl.
Why?
Because carrying a gun does not make one brave or a hero. Nor does it give anyone the balls they didn't have before they strapped on their John Wayne costume.
Im simply proposing more in terms of the vetting process in screening applicants for violent crimes and further restricting concealed weapons (on person) unless exigent circumstances exist. I carry my glock in a pelican case transported in the trunk of my car. I dont get the whole concealed weapon thing, a bit ridiculous unless you live in Mogadishu or Beirut.
I dont propose that ATF agents break into your homes in the middle of the night and seize all privately owned firearms yet I am engaged in discussion as if this is my intent, the fear does not lie with me, it apparently lies with the insecure folks whose liberty is being trampled upon for overdue legislation.....whatever.
Dude I hate to say it but your post is laughable you say you have a firearm but you transport it in the trunk? Why even have one if you place it there?
I transport it in the trunk when I go to the range because I enjoy shooting recreationally in a controlled and safe environment, why the hell would I carry it around ? I'm not a licensed peace officer and I do not live in Mogadishu. Also, I do not suffer from low self-esteem or delusions of grandeur.

Exactly that's why I told him he needs to get rid of his gun he doesn't need it and his firearm could be taken away from him, and used in a crime.Dude I hate to say it but your post is laughable you say you have a firearm but you transport it in the trunk? Why even have one if you place it there?

You transport a gun in your trunk? Wonderful... And if you get car jacked how do you suppose you would be helping rid criminals of illegally obtained firearms? You wouldn't be helping, you'd be part of the problem.

When I leave the house armed it does not leave my side just for that reason.

Yeah... Leaving a weapon in a car is not a good idea at all. I wonder what statistics would say about that being a prime factor in criminals obtaining firearms... I bet the percentage would be quite high.

to be honest I think he said he transported it in his trunk, which is a bad thing as you said he may get carjacked his gun is no longer doing him any good but will be used in a crime some where else. That shit pisses me off these high and mighty types I have a gun but I keep it in the trunk of my car I don't need it but explain that to the family that lost a mother father or child because your gun was taken away from you, because you had it in your trunk and your car was stolen.

Leaving what weapon in the car?, I transport my Beretta 92FS in the trunk of my car when I go to the range, I then remove it upon completion of my shooting session and return it to it's permanent storage location which is a secure locker underneath my bed. I keep it in the trunk only during the transport to and from the range. Growing up in California and shooting as a youth I was taught to pay careful attention to the statutes governing firearms AND their transport. Being raised to follow penal code 12025, I was made to understand that handguns had to be transported in a "locked container" which means a secure container which is fully enclosed and locked by a padlock, key lock, combination lock, or similar locking device. This includes the trunk of a motor vehicle, but does not include the utility or glove compartment. For more information, refer to California Penal Code Section 12026.1. Now did I need to explain further or.....will that do for now??
Anymore brainbusters for me gentlemen?????

Here's the problem your gun is locked up in the trunk, you get car jacked your gun is locked up in the trunk and is now in the hands of criminals. I call you stupid. and advise you to turn your gun in.
The right to keep and bear arms does work, however it's those gun free zones that don't work.

How about I obey the law and not get people hurt in the event of a random traffic stop which is far more likely than a uhmm...carjacking..lol. Seeing as how I drive a relatively inexpensive vehicle and live in a middle class neighborhood, I'll take my chances on having my weapon stolen in a carjacking. BTW, carjackings peaked in the mid 1990s during which time the annual average for the US was 35,000 occurrences of which only half were successful. Even at that time, less than 1% of the US population was at risk of being a carjack victim.
I support higher education.

Yes because in European countries where people don't have that "right to bear arms" there are public shootings every day ...
oh wait (and this is with Russia also included in Europe)

I can see the right of self defence as a reason for wearing a gun, but saying that you can police the street better by wearing a gun than the Army & Police (who re trained to do that) is bullshit imao.

Yep, the streets re safer now ... and the gun works alright: the problem is that not everyones brain works alright, you can indeed not blame the gun for this. But the fact that the law allows everyone a gun does make it a heck of a lot easier for a moron to do stupid things with a gun.
Imagine if you want a safer prison: would you also give every prisoner a gun to make the prison in general safer? And do you really believe the 1 innocent prisoner will be safer by him having a gun and the rest also having a gun? Unless his name is Rambo, I doubt that ...
Yet this is the logic that is followed by the rightwing to make the community safer
the dangerous and unstable people get more dangerous and more unstable with guns, the non-dangerous and stable people don't get more undangerous or stable though ... quite the opposite if you ask me
Hm.Imagine if you want a safer prison: would you also give every prisoner a gun to make the prison in general safer? And do you really believe the 1 innocent prisoner will be safer by him having a gun and the rest also having a gun? Unless his name is Rambo, I doubt that ...

I don't give a rats ass about safe prisons, they can shank each other all they want, oh yes there's that no firearms thing yet people are killed in prison.
I can just imagine half of the people in this forum walking around their hometown shopping mall with a loaded desert eagle in the strong side belt holster as well as a compact service revolver, snub nose or the like concealed elsewhere on their person. They may even have a utility belt of sorts which holds their BCT15X multiple police band scanner, you never know when an active shooter event occurs and you have to be ready to assist local law enforcement You can see where I'm going with this, so I'll spare you the details of what they drive...
