The politicians for years have been trying to get their hands on gun ownership. I am a registered, lifelong Democrat and I am TOTALLY against restricting gun sales because it's felons today everybody else tomorrow.
I own weapons. I had to go through all the garbage to own pistols and it is ridiculous. Real criminals will ALWAYS find a source if they want a weapon; the ONLY people who will get restricted are the honest folks willing to go through the BS to get them.
Anyone who has studied history knows that an unarmed populace is a royal invitation to tyranny. We have had eight years of tyranny under Bush and I don't really trust any president. And by the way, this is called a POLICE STATE.
Don't punish the many for the transgressions of a few. We are having enough problems with arrogant, excessive force police as it is; the last thing we need to do is make them, or anyone, complete gods over the citizenry. That's not living free in a democracy!
And while you are out there taking everyone's guns away, just remember the single females living alone. Should we take away all of the guns and have the rapists and burglers know that there is an unarmed citizenry like sitting ducks?
I don't believe that gun ownership is the problem.
The REAL problem is the Telecommunications Act of 1996, in which Bill Clinton handed over the TV to the Far Right as their private propaganda machine. I think it is INSANE to be going after all of the citizenry to take away gun ownership but leave the O'Reilly's, Hannity's, and the Rush Limbaugh's out their revving all the crazies up. And don't forget: this won't stop the crazies from kidnapping and murdering by other means.
It's time to step up to the plate and face the problem and deal with it.
What REALLY needs to happen is that this president needs to develop some guts and go after all the hate mongers in the media. They are the source for all of this. You mean to tell me that it is the gun owners who are responsible for the growth in Right-wing hate groups from a few hundred to now 926 recognized national hate groups? Get real! It is the media that is creating these civil terror cells, but this government is too busy being "moderate" and "centrist" to get the job done.
Also, why don't they declare the hate groups Civil Terrorists and go after them? The FBI has been infiltrating them for years and knows exactly who these people are. Answer: Because they want an unarmed citizenry that is vulnerable psychologically as well as physically.
The TV is licensed through the government. That means that the government is ultimately responsible for TV content. Make it a law to get hate mongering off the TV and then enforce it.
Taking away the guns is a band-aid on the real infection. Obama needs to stop kissing so much boo-tay and get the real job done. We're sick of this neverending kowing to the Far Right political blockheads.
WE WON!!! Let's see it!!!
