Liar.
If this weren’t so pathetic, it would be laughable.
I call BS on this as well.
I call BS on this guy.
We fewer shootings and assaults here the “Wild Wild West”when everyone carried a gun and drawing down on someone meant sure retaliation.
83 Americans die each and every day from gun violence.
Let's see: (83 people/day)(365 days/year)=30295 people/year
Yet, we live in a nation of approximately 300 million people - so (~30,000/300,000,000)(100) = 0.01% of the total population die every year from guns. Anyone have the total death stats/year in this country? Need this for the next step...

I saw the movie “The Brave One” over the weekend. There is a scene in that movie where Jody Foster needs to buy a handgun and is told she will have to wait 30 days.
She replies ‘I won’t SURVIVE 30 days’. She of course gets one on the black market.
(It was a pretty good film)
I think waiting periods are the stupidest things ever. (maybe not as stupid as warning labels on hot coffee, but pretty close)

This is that Anti-Gun front group pimping as a “Pro-Gun” organization. Another group with 3 members and lots of money from somewhere. Check out their history.
I have had enough insults to facts and logic, especially by people who are foolish enough to think that gun control = crime control. It is dangerous enough that they hold this opinion privately, but it is especially dangerous when they insist this must be public policy and are willing to use the credible threat of deadly force by armed agents of government to limit my private self defense options.
Not just a liar, but a moron as well. There have ALWAYS been criminals, crazies, and despots who would attempt to victimize the general populace. The laws only disarm the very people who could benefit the most from being armed in the first place.
Disarming law abiding citizens does not protect law abiding citizens. It just makes them easier to attack.
Their membership numbers are questionable and their funding is even more questionable.........Their website cleverly portrays them as a pro-hunting, pro-gun and pro-safety group but underneath that camoflage, there is nothing pro-second amendment about them.
Gee John....just "up" armor your limo. I see from other threads the elites are on the .50 bandwagon again.
I don’t dress up and pretend to be a liberal. Why do they try to act conservative? It just doesn’t work. Scumbags.
There is so much in this article that is an outright lie that it is very difficult to believe ANY of the so-called facts this “Gun owner” puts forth. Antagonists to a particular ideology eventually get so frustrated and so conditioned in their stretching of the facts and data to make their case seem reasonable that they soon drop the truth altogether. A lie is a lie is a lie is a lie....until you tell it so often that it BECOMES the truth....
He is no more a “staunch supporter of the Second Amendment” than Sarah Brady or Ted Kennedy. NONE of his suggestions would have stopped the murders at NIU or VT. They would only make it more difficult for law abiding people to privately purchase a firearm.
Sounds awesome but unlikely. If it's true, can anyone point me in the direction of one of these gun shows in the northeast(or closest to here)?
The NRA says that not even people on the suspected terrorist watch list should be barred from purchasing guns because -- are you ready for this? -- "we do not know how people are put on the list" and "many times people are victims of mistaken identity."
The NRA is right.
"Suspected terrorist" watch lists are just ripe for abuse. The government can put you on one without any warning, with no evidence, and once you're on it there is no recourse, no way to get off.
Criminal convictions are one thing. But your name on some list somewhere? No way.
