Round Two for Gun Control May Take a ?Next Newtown? - NationalJournal.com
A week after gun legislation suffered a stinging defeat in the Senate, an uncomfortable realization has settled over the Capitol that it
will likely take another mass shooting or similar tragedy to reignite momentum for gun control.
To even think that is disgusting.......no wonder people think liberals are full of shit.
Now, at least, Democrats and their allies have a package of gun-control measures—led by the Manchin-Toomey proposal—
ready to be enacted practically immediately. Reid can bring the failed background-checks effort back to the floor at almost any time.
yep always get people when they're weak....liberals are such predators....nowonder they let pedophiles out of jail.
When guns cause a death, the government wants to get rid of all the guns. But when muslims cause a death, the government doesn't suggest getting rid of all the muslims. Just sayin.
Perhaps that's because all Muslims aren't terrorists, just like all gun OWNERS aren't psychopathic killers or hardened, violent criminals....
And for the vast majority of us "liberals", we don't want to get rid of guns.
That would be like saying all Conservatives want to get rid of the Civil Rights Act of 1964....some do....but most don't.
I will never give up my guns without a fight...however, if the day ever comes that some totalitarian entity takes over our country and goes door to door rounding up weapons.... it isn't going to matter one bit whether a background check was done or they are registered or not....they'll still come knocking regardless. The end result will be the same, if course... but thinking that a lack of checks and registration is going to save you, you're an idiot.
Hell...if the government wanted to....they could lurk on this very message board use their technology to get our IP addresses, cross match that with our ISP's and know exactly what they need to for the confiscation of our weapons.
They don't need us to register them for that....But checks and registration could very well help in sorting legal weapons from illegal ones.
Bigreb and others in here bemoaning checks and registration because of the idea that it will lead to confiscation are fooling themselves.... if they really wanted them, they'd have them....one way or another.
But then again....I'm not frightened of my government, I'm not under the delusion that Obama is gearing up for some kind of dictatorship and is turning America into Amerika.
I guess that comes from not listening to extreme positions on either side. I believe our country and Nation is strong enough in our convictions to handle some Socialism to temper the "winner take all/loser get none" nature of Capitalism.
In fact, I think that's the key to our success... but that's another thread.
