Second Amendment RIGHTS — liberals stay away!!!

Their polling data must show that the public finally understands that a body count of 32 can only come in a gun-free zone.

Do you suppose the Dems have figured out that this makes gun control look pretty bad . . . after all, guns were banned from campus and it (1) didn't prevent the SOB from doing what he wanted to do; and (2) guaranteed everybody else was helpless.

GMTA.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

It gets them every time!

Exactly, Mom!

They are waiting for January 2009. If the Democrats still control the House and the Senate, and a Democrat wins the White House at the same time, they will then suddenly discover that they have a mandate for the gun control that they didn’t mention.

When I went to U of Texas (many, many yrs ago) more than one of my friends carried a peaceful sidearm to classes (everyday).

Here's why persons with average or better intelligence can read and comprehend that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to KABA.

True or False?

Spoons cause obesity.

Pencils cause spelling errors.

Guns cause crime.

Criminals cause crime.

- - 

If guns cause crime pencils cause spelling errors, matches cause arson and spoons cause obesity. But none of those cause a person to intentionally misconstrue the meaning of the Second Amendment. They that do, do so by choice -- intentionally.

Not at all surprising to find Steny Hoyer becoming an accessory after the fact to Cho.

The guy is a first class ghoul.

University policies denied the VT students their 2nd amendment rights. Had a few students and faculty been allowed to carry their firearms this would probably have ended very differently.

ITS NOT GUN CONTROL IDIOTS Its mental Illness something you all suffer from! More gun control takes away more of your right of protecting yourself against this kind of anarchy. Disarm the lawbiding public arm the mass murderers. I heard the ACLU prevented psych background checks when you apply for a permit! Nice going ACLU very American of you! Psych background check along with any other checks would tell the story! We are about to here the blame game form these retards once again, not the failed liberal policies that protect the insane over the lawbiding public!

Democrat = Guns kill people and sometimes use people to fire them..

Republican = People kill people and sometimes use guns do it..

Please forgive the ignorance on my part.

[FixitGuy]

The mental health system which treats mentally ill folks as rational, normal people simply because of their "rights" is far more to blame than guns.

This is an opportunity to fix it.

Gun control as usual is a "decoy issue"

[Graybeard58]

Please forgive the ignorance on my part.

That's at least two ignorant people here (counting me)

[FixitGuy]

"Republican = People kill people and sometimes use guns do it."

Amen

****Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid cautioned Tuesday against a “rush to judgment” on stricter gun control. ****

It hasn’t stopped them in the past. Remember the panic legislation of 1968 and the Clintonista Assault Weapons joke, er, that is ban.

They will hold off, bide their time, and in the future when they have the votes, strike.

1961. they only wanted to register handguns.
1964 they only wanted to register all handguns and ban bolt action military surplus rifles.
1968.Almost got their wish with the 1968 Gun Control Act.
1971 They only wanted to ban “Saturday night specials”.
1976 They wanted to ban all handguns.
1981 they demanded a ban on handguns and rifles would not be affected.
1989. They wanted a ban on all”assault weapons”.

From then on they have tried every means foul to get their bans on all guns.
Bans on bullets.
Bans on magazines.
Bans on low power inaccurate firearms.
Bans on high power accurate firearms.
Chamber loaded indicators.
Tagants in power.
Bans of bullet shapes.
Bans on stock shapes
Bans on stock materials.
Bans on BIG single shot rifles.
Trigger guards.
Magazine disconnects.

As you see they are trying anything.

Ditto with a Democratic majority and a RINO as President. Giuliani, McCain, and Romney have track records that show them to be opponents of Second Amendment rights.
