Keeping guns from criminals - liberals, what is your plan?

[regent]

Well we may not care much for the reasons why people buy certain objects but manufacturers may be very interested. I would think some companies some spend money on discovering why people buy automobiles, shaving lotion, and guns, Be interesting to know what Colt has discovered about the attraction of guns. If it was the macho thing, I don't think they would tell us but you can bet their advertisements would reflect the attraction. What is the attraction of guns? Is it fear, rite of passage, or even to have more strength than others?

Smith and Wesson makes pink guns. Would that work for you?

So you see guns as a passage to manhood? I wonder if it is possible to become an adult male, strong and brave without gun, I suspect many do it without the crutch.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Few suggest that all auto accidents will be ended with safer cars, it is the reduction of deaths with safer cars that is the goal. That should be the goal of gun manufacturers and government, reduction of needless gun deaths.

I fully support any and every gun control law that does 2 tings:
-Prevents criminals from getting guns
-Does not infringe on the rights of the law abiding
When you find one, let me know.

As mentioned that is the job of the legislators, but why should legislators even touch that problem? Most legislators know of America's love affair with the gun and they know the NRA is making sure that there is no third party in that love affair. How many guns will be sold in the US this year because people are frightened by people with guns? Is there a correlation between the number of guns in America and the needless deaths by guns? Are we using fear to sell more guns that creates more fear?

So who is creating the fear? Democrats, that's who.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

The first problem is so many American's love guns. That love affair keeps money flowing into the NRA and that lobby aids the manufacturers of guns to fight any gun laws. Until the gun manufacturers are forced to share some responsibility for their products as do auto, drug and other manufacturers, we will not change. It all begins with the American gun-love affair.

So our choices are we have a "love affair" with guns or we'll let you disarm us and leave us as undefended prey to criminals. Hmm. Your choices are you're an idiot or ... sorry, that's all I've got

If that's the only solution then this nation is in trouble. If gun manufacturers put some effort and money into trying to solve the problem instead of relying on the NRA to keep the government at bay maybe something could be worked out that would reduce the spur of the moment, and the gang killings.

As long as people have guns, people will murder people with guns.
The only way to stop this: Destroy all guns and destroy all the means to make them.
Then be prepared to go after knives....

That's like asking Microsoft to do something about people going to kiddy porn sites or sites that don't charge state tax for internet sales. It's not their responsibility.

Did I say that? I suspect many gun owners are like me. I was exposed to them early. From my earliest memories, there was always a weapon standing up by the back door. It was a tool with which to kill food. I knew damned well not to touch it. I don't remember how I learned that, but I just did. When I was 8, I was allowed to target shoot under my father's supervision and by nine I was an expert marksman.
At 12, I bought my first gun and at 14, started hunting unsupervised with a shotgun I purchased with money I earned. (not from an allowance)
No right of passage involved. I never received a weapon from my father until shortly before his death. I still own his weapons and they are stored and maintained along with my own weapons.
My first wife was raised about the same way, though never got in to hunting.
My children were a bit older when first exposed and the 12 gauge by the door was not there because there was no game running down the street in the city of Bridgeport CT. There was a revolver and a Colt 1911 hidden from view due to the strong possibility of break ins due to the urban setting.
I did take them up to Dad's frequently to shoot and learn how to handle a weapon safely.
All 4 have owned their own weapons and the 3 that survive all have CT pistol permits and are normally armed. The tattoo artist carries one his hip in his studio, the firefighter carries to and from his job in another urban setting, but does not carry on the job more out of respect for his firearms than for the sensibilities of Connecticut Liberals.
My daughter, the sweetest thing you'll ever meet will reach in her purse and shoot you dead in a heartbeat if you threaten her person or property.
Right of passage? No. Call it a cultural thing that you can't condone, if you will; kind of like the crime in the inner city which you seem to excuse.

You are doing nothing to affect it so as not to offend the Democrat base. Instead, you propose something that would only serve to hinder the opposition. It's rather obvious what your intentions are to any rational, thinking person..

The point is, with all that exposure to guns, neither me, my father or my children have used a gun to commit a crime.
Perhaps more exposure, rather than less is the answer.
Or maybe just having a father in the home is all that's needed. Or is it the fact that my father and I raised out children to be responsible about everything, including firearms?

Why was McCain so different on putting pressure on Obama on these two different Civil Wars?

Who the hail cares what McCain says or doesn't say or what kind of 'pressure' McCain can assert?! You REALLY think the old, white Rhino fart could put any kind of pressure that would make Obama do something?


Libya was ALL OBAMA! Obama, just like he would do later in Syria, armed TERRORISTS - guys who had been recruiting for about a decade from Libya jihadists from all over to go to Afghanistan and Iraq to kill US troops. THEN he took the country to war ON HIS OWN to help Al Qaeida - perpetrators of 9/11/01 (and 9/11/12) - take over their own country - LIBYA...and all it cost us was the lives of 4 Americans, to include the 1st US Ambassador to be killed in over 30 years! (Can you say 'Treason'?!)

McCain sure as hell didn't "FORCE' Obama to go to war on his own to help Al Qaeida! OBAMA was President, not McCain. Only the President can take a country to war on his own, not McCain! I am so sick of this blame-shifting B$! Obama's a big boy, and he's proved time and again he's man enough to do whatever he wants no matter what....he just hasn't proven he's man enough to take responsibility yet.

Who cares? I would assume people who are interested in the truth.

On the other hand we have you, who just seem interested in partisan bull.

Oh well.

The first problem is so many American's love guns. That love affair keeps money flowing into the NRA and that lobby aids the manufacturers of guns to fight any gun laws. Until the gun manufacturers are forced to share some responsibility for their products as do auto, drug and other manufacturers, we will not change. It all begins with the American gun-love affair.

So our choices are we have a "love affair" with guns or we'll let you disarm us and leave us as undefended prey to criminals. Hmm. Your choices are you're an idiot or ... sorry, that's all I've got

If that's the only solution then this nation is in trouble. If gun manufacturers put some effort and money into trying to solve the problem instead of relying on the NRA to keep the government at bay maybe something could be worked out that would reduce the spur of the moment, and the gang killings. To come up with solutions is not the job of these boards; That is why we employ legislators to solve problems. But why would legislators try to solve the problem when so many people love their guns and the NRA is such an effective lobby?

What you're saying about the NRA is the leftist equivalent to the right characterizing PP as strictly an abortion clinic. The main activity of the NRA by far is to teach people to use guns safely and appropriately for self defense. You'd know that if you actually knew anything about guns as you claim. Their lobbying activities are just to make sure we have guns for those uses

As long as people have guns, people will murder people with guns.
The only way to stop this: Destroy all guns and destroy all the means to make them.
Then be prepared to go after knives....

Few suggest that all auto accidents will be ended with safer cars, it is the reduction of deaths with safer cars that is the goal. That should be the goal of gun manufacturers and government, reduction of needless gun deaths.

Making guns safer is the job of the NRA, and they do a great job. It's also the job of the people to teach our kids to use them safely, and we overwhelmingly do a great job of that too. Very little of the violence could be stopped by gun manufacturers. Just like very little of the violence is stopped by gun laws. They are already illegal in inner cities, yet that's where most of the violence occurs.

And you accuse ME of 'partisan bull' when YOU and other Liberals try to blame OBAMA'S WAR on McCain?!

Well we may not care much for the reasons why people buy certain objects but manufacturers may be very interested. I would think some companies some spend money on discovering why people buy automobiles, shaving lotion, and guns, Be interesting to know what Colt has discovered about the attraction of guns. If it was the macho thing, I don't think they would tell us but you can bet their advertisements would reflect the attraction. What is the attraction of guns? Is it fear, rite of passage, or even to have more strength than others?

Smith and Wesson makes pink guns. Would that work for you?

So you see guns as a passage to manhood? I wonder if it is possible to become an adult male, strong and brave without gun, I suspect many do it without the crutch.

It's amazing how many of you liberals claim to have military service and be experienced with guns, yet this is your childish, bigoted attitude towards anyone who supports gun rights. But it's not your attitude of course, it's everyone else.

The idea anyone with your attitude would be in the military or even shoot a gun is scary. Fortunately, your idiotic views are because you're a blue city slicker who hasn't ever touched a gun and wouldn't because they are magic firing sticks that emanate evil to you. You just have the stupid liberal notion that it's a powerful argument to say you're one of us, so it's OK to hate guns and gun users. I know guns, so it's OK to hate them. I am a Republican, so it's OK to think they are all racist. You try it all the time. Trust me, it never works.
