2A - More Lies and Drivel from MSLSD...................They know they are loosing!

.....The mass murders in Newtown, Connecticut, and Aurora, Colorado, and Tucson, Arizona, were all made much more murderous thanks to the members of Congress and lawmakers around the country who have done everything that they can to make sure that when our mass murderers enter a movie theater or a shopping mall or an elementary school, they will be able to go in there with high-capacity magazines.

Along with that statement needs to be...... there are TWO things present in all these mass shooting. A nut case looking to cause violence and they have a gun. Remove the gun you still have a NUT causing violence but remove the nut and the gun will do nothing without the nut to pull the trigger.

Common sense tells me it's not the gun that we need to remove. The GG needs to gun to protect themselves from the nut wanting to cause violence by what ever means.

But this whole thing we are seeing with the anti's has nothing to do with the mass shootings of common people (they are expendable). They actually want the mass shootings to help with the getting rid of guns in the masses. They have to get the guns out of the people's hands to forces their (Government's) will on them. This has always happened in past history and Government take overs and that is what we are seeing in the US today.

Once the gun is gone you will comply or die.

I have come to the conclusion we are being played. Both Dem's and Rep's are on the same side, their playing good cop bad cop on us, making us think we have a choice. But both sides are Progressive thinking, the Constitution means nothing to them as far as it being something to follow.

I'm not so sure they are loosing but time will tell. My take is they are going after the support of the low informed voter. If you report it on TV it must be true....

I agree, it may seem like their major offensive has failed, but the left is adept at guerilla warfare as it pertains to sneaking in their agenda despite the will of the majority. One of their major tactics is sneaking in little laws here and there via somewhat or completely unrelated bills. The entire background check, especially on the point of mental health, is one of the avenues they will use.

They will use taxes on ammo and firearms, liability insurance requirements, and a hundred other things to eventually squeeze the common law abiding citizen out of their right to bear arms.

Other methods legislators employ to sneak past constitutions are crafting bills with poorly defined key terms, then wielding the verbiage to mean whatever they say it means, and worse, whatever the judges they appoint say it means. Legislation from the judicial bench has to stop.

There should be an amendment to the U.S. Constitution stating something to the effect that when there is disagreement about the true meaning of a law, instead of allowing the judicial branch to interpret the law, they offer an opinion which legislators must vote upon. I am sure that scheme could be abused as well, but at least we would have elected officials determining what laws mean instead of appointed judges.

"Shall not infringe" means just that...and this administration is infringing on the 2nd Amendment like they do not have anything else to do. Speaking of which, we have not had an approved budget in years, so all of the current activity around guns should be a clear indicator of the priority of gun control.

In reality, the high capacity drum used by the Aurora shooter, probably saved more lives. I know he had one in the range of 75 to 100 rounds for his AR. After 25-35 rounds, the drum malfunctioned causing the weapon to jam. He switched to his shotgun after the jam. Using the drum mag over several standard 30 round mags was a huge mistake for what he wanted to do.

As for the naive questions, why does anyone need blank; no one needs anything more than in order: 1. Oxygen, 2. Water, 3. Food, 4. Shelter, 5. Clothing. That is it. You cannot live more than minutes without oxygens, days without water, weeks without food, shelter and clothing give you a much greater chance of survival against the natural elements. Everything else is a want. A good way to turn this around is ask, who needs an abortion, who needs a car, who needs a iphone/smartphone. The probability of a riot making its way through my neighborhood is extremely low, but it is not zero. Why might I want 30 rounds in an AR to protect my home, on the off possibility that my fellow human beings are not as civilized or resourceful as I am when the chips are down.
