So Pres....Hypothetical conversation with the pres.<br /><br />So Pres. Obama, with your new gun and magazine ban your intention is to get these items out of the criminal's hands, correct?<br /><br />Pres. Obama replies, Yes that is my intention, I want everyone to be safe from these weapons.<br /><br />Sounds great sir. So the first thing you will be doing after the ban goes into effect is to go to every known criminal's home, including those that have served time but cannot legally own a gun, and search their house to make take those guns out of their hands.<br /><br />Pres. says, well no we cannot do that because the constitution guarantees a citizen's right against illegal search and seizure.<br /><br />So just what is the first thing you will do sir?<br /><br />Pres., We expect all law abiding citizens that have those illegal weapons to turn them in. We won't go to your house to get them but we expect you to comply and turn them in.<br /><br />But sir, what about the criminal that has those weapons and that won't comply with any order to turn them in?<br /><br />Pres. Well we can't go to their house and take them, that is against the constitution but we expect all other law abiding and responsible citizens to turn them in.<br /><br />This will keep them out of the hands of criminals.<br /><br />Now, that's pretty much what the anti-gun crowd is saying with all their rhetoric isn't it?<br /><br />Doesn't make much sense does it?<br /><br />Nope, and it never will...........Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-52497366791776092422012-12-30T21:23:09.609-08:002012-12-30T21:23:09.609-08:00When a terrorist attack happens I have never heard...When a terrorist attack happens I have never heard anyone, not even a politician or media person, say to combat a terrorist you ban his gun or his gun's magazine.<br /><br />So how does that work with any other criminal or mentally unstable person?<br /><br />I mean the only difference is why they are shooting people, not how..............Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-34701492048039536982012-12-23T14:41:44.271-08:002012-12-23T14:41:44.271-08:00I hope more owners will look into safes, trigger l...I hope more owners will look into safes, trigger locks, etc. I know I am. Why his mother did not I do not know. Maybe she was in denial. She surely was not responsible and every owner needs to be as responsible as possible.<br /><br />But even had he not been able to use guns for his violent quest he likely would have used other means.<br /><br />He was that far gone......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-73722673552870038092012-12-23T13:17:58.884-08:002012-12-23T13:17:58.884-08:00Thanks.

However, in a thoughtful way, we need to ask ourselves why gun violence in US society is more than 10x that of similar industrial nations, with the same social ills (i.e. levels of mental illness and entertainment-violence)? The answer is simple, the US is 5% of the world population, with 50% of all the guns! Easy access to efficient/sexy weapons! Viola!James C.

It reaffirms what many know, that the knee jerk reactionary emotionalism to the SH tragedy will do nothing to stop the dedicated mass murderer.<br /><br />Now if the rest of those that do not see it that way will wake up......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
