They took all our other rights.

Why not the 2nd Amendment?

"Reasonable" = you give them all your guns, and they won't kill you. ...

...for at least a week.

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."

They want a ban, but they can’t say they want a ban. Talk is cheap. The votes show their stance. Eric Holder supported the DC ban and wrote an amicus brief for it.

1) evolution out of science books
2) prayer back in schools
3) Should we HAVE public schools?

... then we’ll talk about guns.

I think the first thing they should include as the "gun control plank" in the DNC platform is, "Don't sell guns to the drug cartels in Mexico... Or at least, don't get caught doing it."

That would be a good place to start.

This is one of the reasons why this week’s Dems convention in Charlotte will be nothing more than a FREAK SHOW.

Since when has any Democrat engaged in an honest debate about anything?

Zell Miller. And that was when he broke with the DNC.

"This president has done nothing but expand gun rights,...

Lost me here. I'm not aware of anything that Obama has done to recognize our 2nd amendment rights.

Is he referring to "Fast and Furious?"

0bama has expanded gun rights to Mexican drug cartels. And he also gave them the guns. So Glaze's statement is actually true.

They may lose this election, but, at best, all we are doing is binding this zombie for a little while. We need a cure to fix their particular brand of stupid. None is on the horizon.

I agree, the democrats should go full bore for enacting “gun control”. As DiFi likes to say, “ban them all”. That will be a winner with the American people.
