I thought I'd put out a little piece on something that hasn't been truly addressed in one of my post. We certainly aren't going to solve the gun control mess here, but there are a few things you need to think about as the debate rages on:
Those who favor gun control never seem to have any plan to take guns out of the hands of criminals. All the plans for gun registration, waiting periods, concealed weapons laws, and ownership bans affect only those people who obey the law. These aren"™t the people who are using guns to rob, rape, and murder.
More than 90 percent of the guns used in crimes are obtained outside of regular commerce. This means that they aren"™t bought at gun stores, and they aren"™t registered to the person who used them in the crime. This means that laws aimed at retail gun sales don"™t even begin to address the problem.
Guns don"™t kill people. People kill people with guns. I am both amused and outraged when I read headlines like "śGun Kills Three"ť or "śGuns Responsible for Deaths."ť So far as I know there has never been one single case where a gun has, on its own, decided that it would be a nifty idea to hop out of that nightstand drawer it has been trapped in and head on down to the local convenience store for a quick robbery.
The gun control crowd likes to blame violence on the guns. That way they aren"™t actually breaking one of the most basic Liberal rules: "śYou shall not hold an individual responsible for his actions."ť
In any given year about 99.98 percent of all of the privately owned handguns in the entire country are not used in a murder. About 99.6 percent of the privately owned handguns are not used in a crime of any description. Wow! This really shows the urgency for strong gun control, doesn"™t it?
Here"™s an idea: Why not concentrate on the small minority of people who are using guns for criminal purposes, rather than the vast majority who own their guns peacefully and at no risk to anyone who doesn"™t mean them harm?

Close this thread. No more needs to be said as the this is positively 100% correct andI couldn't agree more! We don't need a single new gun law. What we do need is an emphasis on truly punishing criminals-not slapping them on the wrist andblaming gun owners, manufacturers or dealers!!!! Liberal Democrats hate lawful gun ownership. That is why they continueto pass ridiculous gun bans,laws and restrictions, which by the way are against our constitutional rights.

Good Idea. Now here is the reason that they won't consider that Idea. They are not really interested in GUN CONTROL. Its People CONTROL they are striving for.
No, keep this thread going & keep spreading the word. As posted, it is about control over our individual civil liberties acknowledged by the second amendment. The gun control leadership knows it's easier to control unarmed serfs rather than armed citizens.
I've posted this info before but it doesn't seem to impress anyone. It should but it doesn't. I'll try again though. Here goes. When I was a kid, (I was born in 1939), you could buy guns and ammo from the Sears catalog and have them delivered by the mailman.
How does it work now? Here in Michigan, anytime you buy a handgun, you have to take it down to your local law enforcement office and have it registered. Why do they do that? Well think about it my friend. When they finally get around to banning handguns, the authorities will know where they are. 'Course it only affects us law-abiding citizens. Does it get guns out of the hands of criminals? Of course not. But the liberals don't care about that. If they wanted to reduce gun crime they'd lock up the criminals until they're too old and feeble to hold a gun.
Take a look at the restictions that have been imposed since i was a kid. Sloooowly imposed. Little by little. Get the picture friend?
Okay, you're not worried. You know they're not gonna come for your deer rifle or your duck gun. Well, I think you oughta take a look around.
I agree that gun control is a scare tactic used to get votes. We obviously have a more pressing issue of "criminal control," but what is to be done? I am for capital punishment when warranted, but wwhat else?

Want to know why liberal gun grabbers refuse to come down on criminals who use guns to commit crime. Convicted felons vote in 38 states. They make up one of the largest of the Democrat voting blocks.

I'm sorry, but you are very wrong. In most cases convicted felons lose the ability to vote. Do a little research and you'll find that out. Many democrats are trying to change that, but the 14th Amendment touches on this issue...
