Much has been said and written in favor of and opposition to gun control since the Sandy Hook tragedy unfolded.
The heinous crime has cracked the half-century-long gun debate wide open, bringing the discourse from the margins to prime time and center stage. On Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden issued a set of gun control recommendations to the president, and I hope, simply, that common sense prevails.
It is not my intention to mitigate the significance of the recent atrocities in any way, nor do I intend to minimize the severity of the events that took place, but I wish to articulate the truth: that Newtown, Conn., is just one of many communities that have experienced gun violence and its carnage.

I just want the lot of them on the Hill and in positions in the other two branches drug tested—all the way to the top. Fail, and find out what unemployment is all about.

We already have 30,000 gun laws. Is the author saying they aren’t sensible?

The 2nd Amendment is a sensible gun law.
To: rktman
Before any “sensible” gun laws are passed, please repeal all of the “non-sensible” gun laws.

We do welcome sensible gun laws:
- FULL REPEAL of the Gun Control Act of 1968, as amended;
- FULL Federal reciprocity of all concealed carry permits;
- FULL Repeal of the federal Gun-Free School Zones Act, as amended;
- Enactment of law preferring a FEDERAL felony for any and all attempts at the federal, state or territory or city level to confiscate arms, including ammunition and accessories, without judicial due process.

Responsible gun owners should welcome sensible infringements on their 2nd amendment right, just as responsible Americans should welcome sensible infringements on their other constitutional rights..We will let you know we mean by sensible eventually.

Sensible gun laws should not prevent lawful citizens from owning and carrying guns.
Since all gun laws the left wants affect only honest people and makes no dent whatsoever in illegal/criminal gun access, their gun laws are not sensible by my definition of the word.

We do welcome “sensible” gun laws.
We already have one.
It ends with the words “shall not be infringed”.
So take your infringements and stuff them where the sun don’t shine! (to the author)

"Responsible gun owners should welcome sensible gun laws." Hmm, first tell me, good reporter, would YOU support this:
Responsible reporters should support sensible press laws restricting what can be reported.
Responsible reporters should support sensible speech laws that restrict criticize of the government.

I do welcome sensible gun laws. For example, the use of a firearm in armed robbery, rape, assault, or murder should be severely punished. Other than banning the use of firearms in violent crime, I’d like to repeal all the nonsense gun laws on the books - federal, state, and local - the Second Amendment should take precedence as the supreme law of the land.

You left out NFA ‘34. Full auto if you choose. Pick up a Thompson down at the Western Auto store.

The problem is that “sensible” keeps changing.

Responsible gun owners should welcome sensible gun laws That would be a point if sensible gun laws were the objective but sensible gun laws are not the objective.

How is it that the second I read the title I knew it was going to be some idiot lefty advocating registration or restriction or confiscation?

Naturally, Waters is a Democrat. He'd have to be to think that CT. registration or outright forfeiture of a semi-automatic rifle and large cap magazines is a "sensible" gun law.
The fact of the matter is, responsible gun owners need only ONE sensible gun law. The 2nd amendment to the Constitution of The United States.
If Waters and the rest of his nut job gun grabbing Democrats want to keep guns out of the hands of the sickos, then they are welcome to do their best...but keep the law abiding, responsible gun owners out of it. We didn't create this problem.
