Let’s see his free speech license.
More people were killed with hammers in the US last year than with so-called "assault rifles". Many more with bare hands/fists. Commonsense hand registration is what we need, along with microstamped and serial numbered fists.
Allow me to re-phrase that: "An evil sick human being got up that morning and decided he was going to go and kill defenseless children in a defense-free zone and he did so while half a dozen adults fail to effectively oppose him despite their moral responsibility to do so. "
When I see a “sensible” gun law, I’ll support it.
So far, I haven’t seen a single law restricting RKBA that I would consider “sensible”.
Go further, repeal the NFA of ‘34, the Import ban, and allow DRMO to sell surplus to the civilian markets again.
We should welcome “sensible gun laws.” As opposed to the 22,000 or more insane laws already on the books?
Tell me what ‘common sense gun law’ would have saved those kids in Connecticut! ‘Common Sense’ is a propaganda term. It means nothing in reality. I get sick of reading this nonsense.
“We do welcome sensible gun laws:
FULL REPEAL of the Gun Control Act of 1968, as amended;
FULL Federal reciprocity of all concealed carry permits;
FULL Repeal of the federal Gun-Free School Zones Act, as amended;
Enactment of law preferring a FEDERAL felony for any and all attempts at the federal, state or territory or city level to confiscate arms, including ammunition and accessories, without judicial due process.”
-THAT /\ is worth repeating.
““Sensible” gun law demands over the years...
And to think, in 1962 Thomas J Dodd and Emaual Cellar proposed the first federal law on common firearms.
1962; “We don’t want to take away your guns, we ONLY want to register handguns! Rifles and shotguns will not be affected”.
1964: “We only want to register all your guns, not ban them! Only Army surplus guns will be banned.”
1968: “We only want to register your guns, and ban “Saturday Night Specials” and small foreign handguns along with army surplus rifles!” (They got the ban on 5 shot army surplus rifles and handguns and small foreign pistols)
1970: “We only want to ban Saturday night specials! Large handguns and rifles will not be affected!”
1976: “We only want to ban all handguns! Long guns will not be affected!”
1981: “The NRA is a rifle organization! They should give up their handguns, and they can keep their rifles!”- Lee Grant on GMA
1984: “We must ban “assault Rifles, unsuitable or hunting!”
1989: George Bush bans import of some foreign made “assault rifles”.
1992: Assault rifle ban passed by Clinton.
2000: first calls to ban single shot .50 cal rifles...

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal.”
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
The Brady Center (former HCI) now has the hots to ban anything they can, including common rifles and shotguns.”
-Again, ^^^ worth repeating.
There is nothing sensible about a law coming from liberals.
Didn’t the Australians and English determine that the only “reasonable” gun laws had to be a total ban?
You know, I would actually welcome sensible gun laws. Here are some examples:
1. Repeal the NFA34, GCA68, and 1986 assault weapons manufacture ban
2. Make any current and future firearms bans illegal, punishable by instant impeachment for the introducing legislator and signing executive (followed by felony convictions and mandatory prison sentences)
3. Establish national concealed-carry license reciprocity along the same lines as national drivers license reciprocity
4. End the NICS and order all records destroyed
5. Add NRA firearms safety classes to public school curricula
Any more suggestions?

As soon as legislators propose one, I'm sure they will. To date, all the proposals seem to be from the "Tyranny good; honest citizens with jobs bad" school of thought.
I welcome sensible gun laws that don’t restrict my freedom in any way. I believe we have already gone well beyond the threshold of restriction somewhere between the ten thousandth and twenty thousandth law.
Better yet, a law making it clear that people attempting such confiscations are robbers, and that citizens have a right and duty to do everything in their power to resist them, up to and including the use of deadly force.
