Must be those racists who are hopped up on town hall meetings and wanna hurt Obama

If they properly enforced other laws they wouldn't need gun control.

more people seem to have become more educated on this subject. they have realized that all "reasonable" restrictions are ALREADY legislated and just need to be enforced. it has also become apparent that as concealed permits and states that have granted access to same have increased in direct proportion to the DECREASE in VIOLENT CRIME. This is an UNDENIABLE statistic.

it must be hard for the irrational fearful groups such as HCI to know that their survival is irrellevant and not supported by the VAST MAJORITY of AMERICANS. thank God for the 2nd Amendment and a balanced supreme court bench(thanks GWB!)

I AM IN FAVOR OF GUN CONTROL - PLEASE USE BOTH HANDS TO CONTROL YOUR GUN

Gun Control: "The skilled and practiced ability to place a specified round on an intended target." Anything else is socialism/communism. Everyone should keep in mind, and armed individual is a citizen; an unarmed individual is a subject, and potential victim.

It may simply mean that a larger proportion of the population has lost confidence in the ability of the police and the judicial system to do what they are supposed to do.

must be that conservative tide rollin in!

Given that, since 1993, all measures of violent crime have DECLINED the greater acceptance of guns by the American people at large makes absolutely NO sense. In other words it is impossible to argue that more people feel comfortable with guns because because crime rates have increased. Several factors could be behind the greater acceptance of guns:

1. Less confidence in the police and the judicial system
2. Greater (but unjustified) sense of insecurity
3. Successful 'marketing' efforts by the NRA
4. Steady rise in the level of idiocy in the country

I agree with them.I am a weapos fanatic and have avery large and extensive collection of firearms.I also have a permit to carry in the open and also a concealed permit as well.There is nothing wrong with them at all.I think though that they need to do a better job screening applicants for permits to by and own handguns and other firearms as well.There are way to many mentaly unstable people out there that can buy them only because they have no criminal record but i think they need to dleve a bit deeper into a persons history such as medical to see if they have been or are being treated for any type of mental condition

We already have great laws in place but criminals get guns ILLEGALLY so further laws only prevent people who buy guns to protect themselves!! Truth is those states that allow more regular gun laws have the LOWEST crime rates since criminals know they might get shot is they attack or rob someone!! Yes we need background checks and do not need machine guns but shotguns and hunting rifles should be allowed so we can protect ourselves from criminals and the ILLEGAL ALIENS who come here and break all our laws!! Check out the stats they are coving up that they commit 20% of robberies, rapes and murders in our country!! And these gun control nuts like OBAMA and congress want to make them legal so they can continue to commit crimes and steal our jobs!!

Well, where I live, I don't need a rifle when I go out. I really don't know in what world you guys are living. FantasyLand?

Maybe Viagra is still too expensive ....

Since our General asked for more troops, Obama is considering giving the TALIBAN a ROLE in Afganistan...a ROLE for WHAT? killing innocent children, women and soldiers? Our government has brought in 20,000 HAMAS into our country with more to follow....guess we might need guns

Read my lips Dem's "From my cold dead hand".

guns kill people duh...people die mostly after being shot with...yes..guns...lack of common sense,and there is plenty of that right here in America, combined with guns kills peolpe common sense people, common sense...get some...

If you think gun control works take a look at Germany 1939, Russia, China, and another oppressive governments, and as you or our family are being a victim what are you going to do. Do you think the good guy's will arrive in time to help. The police are overwhelmed and can only help after the crime is over. Be sure you have information on you so they know who to notify to and identify your body.

It is just incredibly amazing to hear what the Anti-Gun crowd give for reasons not to allow guns. They do not have guns, they are not familiar with handling a gun, they do not know how many crimes have been prevented or stopped because the good guy was armed,they are just ignorant liberals who would rather have someone close to them be injured,raped or killed in a home break-in because they hate guns and won't have one!!! Where is the logic???
