Look, here it is. Gun rights people are fanatic (in a good way). They go all out after any camel sticking his nose under the 2nd amendment tent. I get it. While I don't always agree with each specific issue, the policy has protected gun rights fairly well so far.
Now that position is somewhat “extreme” and most people will agree with some common sense gun laws. The ones mentioned, that Newt supported, are not that crazy.
What's wrong with the laser site law? What's wrong with not allowing convicted domestic abusers to legally possess guns?
The gun free school zones may be a mistake, but as part of a huge omnibus bill, these things happen. Repeals are harder to do. It's like trying to undo a ruling on the field.
So while Newt may not be Charleton Heston, he isn't a “Gun Grabber” either. So tone down the hyperbole and just stick to the facts. You are actually helping Newt. People are so fed up with the political assassinations going on that they aren't listening to all the noise. They don't know what to believe, so they tend to disbelieve all of it.
I won't worry one second about my 2nd amendment rights, if Newt becomes president. You shouldn't either.
It makes me a criminal with the stroke of a pen.
WHAT? You been asleep for the last 50 years?
When I was born, my father could have purchased for me a fully automatic, silenced weapon, without much fuss, except the unfolding of $100 bills and a little paperwork from the 1938 legislation.
Today? Fergetaboutit.
We've lost LOTS of ground on firearms since '38.
And people here on a conservative website say.... "Protected gun rights fairly well so far".
Bovine excrement.
When we get back to where we were in 1937.... then I'll agree with you, after noting the dark period of the crushing of personal freedoms between the '30s and whenever that joyous days occurs.

I own two laser sights. Make ‘em illegal and I’m a felon. I’m done f*cking around.
And I am not alone.
What is the laser sight law?
