Hey Dianne Feinstein also stands by her comments that Hunting Humans is Legal? Anyone know where I can go? Any limit on how many humans I can hunt?

Do you have any comment about a stupid person who thinks that you can only use magazines once?

of course he doesn't....she was a Democrat.....Dean will never question what they say.....if that woman was a Republican he would have a thread going about how stupid she is spearheading something she knows nothing about......he doesn't fool anyone.....

an all too common practice among the lefties

certain lefties.....i dont want to mention any names but Dean and LaKota are two of them.....Franco and Dudley are two more.....

Gun control is a work in progress. It is not failing...

Gun control is just another Obama FAILURE in-progress. It is D.O.A.

What about federal gun control legislation that preceded Obama? What about the states currently passing gun control legislation? As I said, it's a work in progress...

and when it gets too lets ban guns you and the assholes like you can then sit back and change your underpants and have a smoke....

90% of America wants background checks. They Republican leadership squats, not only on their own base, but the entire country. But you can't blame the leadership. Republicans vote them into office knowing but refusing to believe what their positions and policies are. Difficult to achieve, both "knowing and REFUSING to believe".

Another idiot who still thinks that background checks are the same as gun registrations.

Heller invalidated the support for dozens of state and lower federal court decisions which in turn have been cited to uphold / affirm hundreds if not thousands of state and federal gun control laws.

Gun control is on life support and we jiggling the plug.

that number is a lie.

Polls that show any high numbers of people wanting background checks are shown to shape public opinion, not report it.

Even if that were true it doesn't mean much . . .

I don't dispute that the January polls showed generic "we need to do something" gun control gaining support (even from gun owners) but it was quickly wasted when Democrats started crafting the bills in their echo chambers. It quickly became evident to everyone that the Democrats' focus is not on addressing the problems of criminal use of guns, but instead acting upon their decades old hatred for America's "gun culture" and law-abiding gun owners and of course, their evil overlord, the NRA.

Dems forbade gun owners from any discussion of policy and blamed them for the criminal acts of mass killers. It shouldn't be a surprise that with such unreasonable behavior, support among gun owners and middle-of-the-roaders for "reasonable" gun control is now trailing off significantly.

The Dems absolute worst, most divisive, most disgusting, most unrelenting tactic in the aftermath of Sandy Hook is trotting out the devastated family members of the victims to be the "face" of their gun control policy. That gun rights supporters are made out to be the primary perpetuators of their misery (if not the direct cause of it) is reprehensible but sadly, very effective.

When faced with a wall of pity proxy policy presenters, an opponent of that policy cannot, even on the most logical level and in a most principled manner, question the proposed policy without being seen as attacking the victims and being labeled an insensitive, heartless monster willing to ignore piles of dead kids just so they can stroke their penis extensions.

If a gun rights supporter is willing to suffer that initial backlash their voice is quickly drowned out and dismissed as not being a legitimate, competent party to discuss the policy . . . After all, can't they see what they have done??? Why should "we" listen to those gun worshiping, insensitive, uncaring, just want to see children die, Neanderthals?

This is a most effective tactic to sway those who make quick, superficial decisions based in emotion and serve to reap very impressive poll results (it helps when the media is part of the program). Those polls are pointed to with great enthusiasm in the hope of garnering and maintaining political support (witness the quote above).

This tactic is very easy to execute and has no drawbacks. The most empty-headed among the left can convincingly parrot the talking points and need never worry that they will be forced to rebut any pointed challenge of the policy on a legal, logical or constitutional level. There is no need for them to accept the discussion "going there" because the urgent need and worthiness of the proposals is accepted and promoted at face value because of that unassailable and compelling victim testimony.

This purely emotional appeal to change policy is perhaps the most despicable and reprehensible tactic to advance in a democracy but its effectiveness has been noted for a long, long time.

• "The people as a body cannot deliberate. Nevertheless, they will feel an irresistible impulse to act, and their resolutions will be dictated to them by their demagogues... and the violent men, who are the most forward to gratify those passions, will be their favorites. What is called the government of the people is in fact too often the arbitrary power of such men. Here, then, we have the faithful portrait of a democracy."
  
  Fisher Ames, The Dangers of American Liberty (1805)

Reasonable people and those who cherish our Constitution's principles generally recoil from such tactics; these current neofacist statist authoritarians in command of the Democrat party, not so much.

Today's anti-gun sickos draw energy from victims tears and bathe themselves in the glow of the sympathy extended to them and claim it is a mandate. These current anti-gunners are like alien soulsuckers, converting that stolen sympathy into mindless, blatantly hostile to liberty energy to act against fellow citizens.

Happily, people are seeing through them and rejecting their insanity.

We've had more and more gun control since 1968 (1934 is more like it) and we've had more gun crime. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing hoping for a different result.

Actually, that is the definition of a Democrat/leftist/liberal.
