No, No, No. No more gun laws and restrictions.

Even if sensible restrictions actually made sense, you can’t trust this effing Federal government and you can’t trust an antichrist like 0bama.

You can’t trust these guys to do anything but get rid of laws; there’s always a catch and any new law will be used against the people. For example, I do support the death penalty in certain circumstances, but not for this insane, evil and corrupt government.

No.
It is time for Federal Concealed Carry, Federal Castle Doctrine and Federal Stand Your Ground laws.

I don’t like having to go to the Feds for rights that are granted by God, but it would be a small improvement over the current situation.

Crime should be very dangerous for criminals.

Michael had me going there for a second until I read the 1st two sentences!

Problem is, if we pre-screened journalists for ignorant comments &/or political bias, there wouldn't be many journalists left in this day & age. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Sensible Background Checks?

Let’s start with Barack Obama.

Thanks to you guys for continuing the long proud FR tradition of not reading the article before responding.

Reagan isn’t actually calling for background checks for guns. It’s just a clever headline intended to push your buttons.

Leftist have no problem blaming shooters who fit their “right wing Tea Party” scenario, but when it doesn’t then “it’s the gun.”

Judging by some of the comments in this thread, a lot of people don’t read the article before they post.

I saw the headline and the author, and sighed...then I read it.

No, it is time to identify and remove from the streets all of these pychos.

Thirty years ago there were 500,000 in psychiatric institutions or hospitals, today there are 50,000. Where are the remaining - on your streets. (figures from a yesterday internet post)

There is no sensible background check. Any background check relies on data input into a system. This data is easily corrupted by mistakes, time delays, system breakdowns, and especially our privacy laws which deter entering derogatory information about a person for fear of legal recourse.

As an earlier article pointed out, there are no background checks or laws that will stop criminal activity. The only sensible response that will hold water is an armed citizenry. Criminals are bold because the odds are in their favor that potential victims are unarmed. Take away guns and I predict our violent crimes will rise as did Australia’s.
