"Craig: Bill has more to do with stopping law abiding citizens from owning their gun of choice than stopping criminals."

Ok, I am confused. Which amendment are they working on, AWB or the gun show "loophole"? I thought that it was the "loophole" one?

Lautenberg: Columbine - were they criminals before they started shooting? He doesn't think so.

To export to Lebannon? What kind of a MORON would pay the US mark up on firearms? Heck, I'd be buying guns directly from Ihzmash if I could. Much cheaper even with shipping.

"1 in 5 LEOs killed by assault weapons."

Even if you give him the benefit of the doubt, and 20% of LEOs killed in the line of duty are due to AW shots, does that include friendly fire? In most cases, it is only the LEOs that even have them in any given situation.

"were they criminals before they started shooting? He doesn't think so."

So if they were old enough to purchase, they could have done so legally and thus proves there is no "loophole".

Craig: Keep the bill clean. Don't add all these amendments. Individual is responsible for their actions. No clear evidence for extending the AWB. All terrorists mentioned by McCain got caught and have been arrested so system works. (love that one!)

If I were going to do something bad with a gun I'd be sure to use a revolver. Semi-autos just dispense empty cartridges riddled with fingerprints all over the crime scene. These arguments by the demon-crats are idiotic.

It was unclear if the shooter, who may have used an AK-47, was shooting from inside or outside the home.

As usual, the press simply makes it up.

Craig: McCain amendment puts in another tripwire for law abiding citizens. Right of free citizen to engage with his neighbor is threatened.

Reed back up now.
