'sensible gun control measures' ... He's talking about using a "straight-thumbs grip" or a "thumb-over-thumb grip" when holding the pistol, right?

Let’s talk about sensible border control, sensible Islam control, sensible criminal control - those are things you can control that will have a positive effect - not the window dressing that libs always push.

Umpqua is “gun free. That’s why the perp chose that site to seek his fame.

The cities and locales on the entire planet which have the MOST legal firearms and easiest open carry have the FEWEST crimes, including murders. The perps know where NOT to act up.

Sensible Gun Control to democrats and other leftists means that only politicians, celebrities, other wealthy people and all of their bodyguards will be allowed to own and carry guns.

The military and Law Enforcement will be allowed to use government owned guns only while performing their official duties.

"Sensible" gun control simply involves deporting all registered Democrats as too stupid to be citizens.

I'm a fan of Cuba, as a destination, but with all those leftists, the island might tip over...

Secretly, I can't wait for ferry service to Havana. All those American tourists, demanding cable news, air conditioning, gambling, BurgerKing, overpriced drinks, Jamaican gange... Cubans will start asking questions, and Marxists can't stand questions, or doubts.

And that’s mild, compared to the drivel that came out of the female Guvnah’s mouth a while ago.

A sensible gun control measure would be have the Form 4473 sign off on access to your medical prescription files for any psychosomatic / mental illness drugs taken in the last three years...

Face it, with Obamacare the government already has the data...

“Sensible” is not taking deranged nuts off the streets.

They refuse to define “sensible”. You can figure out why that is.

“No one stepped in to stop these killers.”

In Florida it is possible to Baker Act somebody. If that person is judged a danger to himself or others they can be put in a psych ward for two weeks of evaluation. No matter how bizarre or dangerous a person is they are seldom Baker Acted. That’s because the state has to pay for the incarceration and officers are warned not to do it.

Often, people who kill others have had many encounters that would qualify, but nothing is done because of the expense. Another problem is lots of people behave crazy but never hurt anybody. How do you make the call? Who is qualified to make the call?

Yep, they talk about “sensible” or “common sense” solutions to issues. Yet their “sensible” solutions always tie in with liberal theology on whatever subject is being discussed.

“...We need sensible gun control measures to save lives...” Meaningless politician speak, aside from confiscation/banning.

Maybe she means creating a law to permit concealed carry accross all 50 states /s

I am for sensible gun control measures, too: PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

Free ranges and coaches (from the military) should be available in every city, town and county!

Federal “shall issue” concealed carry AND Federal “Castle Doctrine” and “Stand Your Ground” laws.

Also a new “Assumption of Risk” law that establishes that any facility that bans legally carried firearms assumes the responsibility for protecting everybody who enters.

“Sensible” is the word of choice for politicians who want to confiscate guns.”

True, and also “universal background checks”. We already have that. I suppose in another fifty years, some politician or NRA representative will publicize, nationally, that fact. But as for now — watch the next debate when that comes up — the 2nd amendment defenders will just never get around to stating that fact. They will blithely go along and accept the premise that there are no background checks.

Any public official who is afraid to be surrounded by angry, armed constituents is a public official the constituents need to be armed against.

The only gun control I'm interested in involves producing smaller shot groupings.
