  • Encicom- you keep talking of the danger of having an “arsenal” in a kid’s room. Please tell us exactly what is dangerous about keeping a gun LOCKED IN A SAFE in a child’s room? How it is any different than keeping a gun in a locked safe in any other room? Do you lock your kids in their room so that can’t get into any other room? In fact, what is dangerous about keeping a gun in a LOCKED SAFE anywhere?

  • For the President and those on this thread that want to blame the US for the Mexican drug cartels… if US demand is the problem, why doesn’t Canada or for that matter, every country have drug cartels to supply the US?

  • Keaton – were those Republicans that passed (unconstitutional) laws in DC and Chicago that banned guns?

    Whitefalcon – If this law would have passed, you (assuming you are a law abiding citizen) would have to go through an FFL- with background check – to sell that gun advertised on the Internet or Craigslist. Of course a criminal would do no such thing.

  • Meteor,

    Could you please show us where the Constitution says anything about majority rule? Or about following the (in this case fabricated) percentage of people that support an issue? I won’t wait for the response since you will never come up with it. The Constitution says no such thing. But, if the Constitution is important to you – which I doubt – it does say ” the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

  • Hey Barney – Record taxes didn’t help us deal with this.

  • Meteor – 1.5-2 million people defend them selves every year with a gun according to a Justice Dept and other studies versus 30K gun deaths. Thats why your statement:

    “That’s why having a gun in your house makes it far more likely that you or another family member will die either on purpose or by accident than the comparatively rare case that you’ll fend off a bad guy Rambo style.”

    Is total BS and will be no matter how many times you repeat it.

  • Only a wingnut like Meteor would equate chickens and trees to humans. Whats next, Obamacare for chickens and amnesty for invasive species?

    Meteor ” 66.9% of all homicides in the United States were perpetrated using a firearm.[5] There were 52,447 deliberate and 23,237 accidental non-fatal gunshot injuries in the United States during 2000.”

    66.9% of 10K (6.69k). 52k “deliberate” non fatal shootings vs 1.5-2+ mil. defenses?? How can you even dare to make an argument.

    Meteors says “Statistically speaking, a gun owner is far more likely to kill a family member or an acquaintance or himself than to shoot a bad guy.”

    That is because it when the victim has a gun – it does not get to a shooting. The US Justice Department under Clinton did a study that says 1.5 million people a year defend themselves or their property with a gun. Other studies put the number over 2 million. How does that compare to people that kill a family member?
