“... I'm not anti-gun. I think soldiers, the police and certain other law enforcement officials should have guns. Civilians, however... ”

I get it now! It's the stupid civilians.

I think soldiers, the police and certain other law enforcement officials should have guns. Civilians, however, should be required to demonstrate a good reason for having firearms.

Umm..."the police and certain other law enforcement officials" are civilians.

I'm not anti-gun speech. I think soldiers, the police and certain other law and government enforcement officials should have guns be able to speak their minds. Civilians, however, should be required to demonstrate a good reason for having firearms wanting to speak their minds.

Do it to one God-given right, might as well do it to all of them.

All guns should be registered. And all gun owners should be properly trained and licensed. The N.R.A. sees this as a radical, even lunatic position.

And so it is.

Come and take them Mr.Journalist.
It's so easy if you try, just try, try.

If I were a "domestic enemy of the Constitution" I'd be far less worried about being on a list of some bureacratic organization in DC, and far more worried about being on the list of a few million Patriots who have taken an oath to defend the Constitution.

We should go to great lengths to keep guns out of the hands of children, criminals and insane people. All guns should be registered. And all gun owners should be properly trained and licensed. The N.R.A. sees this as a radical, even lunatic position. So I guess we're at odds.

Mr. Herbert is a fanatical believer in the First Amendment. I say his proposal should also apply to the ownership of computers, typewriters, yellow legal pads and any machine capable of generating written words to be published or broadcast for public consumption.

If the pen is mightier than the sword (or gun) the person who is allowed to use it in the public prints should be vetted for sanity, responsibility and maturity far more thorougly than mere gun owners. Herbert has demonstrated over and over that he is an irresponsible and immature user of word processing technology. I say his computer should be confiscated and destroyed at the earliest possible moment.

He's not anti-gun. He's anti-freedom and anti-constitution, and frankly, anti-American.

Civilians, however, should be required to demonstrate a good reason for having firearms.

I have one. The 2nd Amendment.

All guns should be registered.

They are. At least in my state. Been to Detroit lately?

continues to fight to the death any attempt to bring sanity to the manufacture, sale and possession of guns.

Emotional tripe with no basis in reality.

more than one million Americans were killed by firearms

You mean one million guns have shot someone on their own. What kind of gun is that? Is that like "Johnny 5" in Short Circuit?

deter the N.R.A. from its fanatical course

And nothing deters the NY Slimes from lying, Jayson Blairing, and using whatever tactics it can to its fanatical anti-freedom agenda out of step with mainstream America.

A former N.R.A. lawyer has admitted in an affidavit in a lawsuit that distributors and gun dealers have for years been illegally diverting guns that end up in the hands of criminals

Ricker's testimony didn't work in court.

would protect the practice by granting special immunity from liability to gun manufacturers and sellers.

Finally something to put the tort ambulance chasing Fascists in their place.

nrablacklist.com, created by a group called stopthenra.com.

Thanks for the Free Press. I'll make my business decisions based on that.

BTW - Your paper sucks.

BTW - Bobby. StoptheNRA isn't a new group. It is just another front group for the Brady group.

As I predicted a few days ago, the SHT has picked up this article and it was in today's op-eds.

The liberal media is nothing if not predictable.
