Civilian ownership of Semi-automatic weapons and others with detachable magazines and hand guns of all kinds (not just semi-automatic, I have modified my views) will become a thing of the past. The firearm and constitutional changes might take a while, but the leadership changes are on the horizon. |

LOL! It is gratifying to know you gun strokers are running scared. Firearms changes are coming as is constitutional and leadership change. You've got me mixed up with someone who cares about what you think. I don't own a gun, but if I wanted to own a gun I would. Then I would practice how to use that gun until I mastered it, and then I might want to try a different gun. But, at this particular time, I don't want a gun. That could change. Another thing ... what I find interesting is that CNN actually said in that article that repealing the second amendment really is not something that is going to happen, and they are said to be the most liberal of the liberals MSM. IF they are saying that, you must be the one who is running scared, all puffed up, pounding on your chest like a peacock. Keep strutting all you want, but the second amendment isn't going to go anywhere anytime soon. Civilian ownership of Semi-automatic weapons and others with detachable magazines and hand guns of all kinds (not just semi-automatic, I have modified my views) will become a thing of the past. Are you a prophet, now? The firearm and constitutional changes might take a while, but the leadership changes are on the horizon. Leaders come and they go, but our constitution is still around. -- Maggie |

Stevens' comment only demonstrates why we have 9 justices on the SCOTUS and why it is important who we put there. Trump probably has one more pick left and maybe 2. If you and Dove get your wish, those would be Pence's and he is to the right of Trump. I would expect Pence to sent up pro gun, pro life, anti gay, zealots. |

My advocacy is for the elimination of civilian owned semi-automatic and other weapons with detachable magazines. Ignorance is bliss and therefore you must be one happy camper. A .22 caliber rifle with a tubular magazine, non-detachable, can hold perhaps a maximum 18 rounds of ammunition (.22 short). A .22 caliber Ruger, with a standard detachable box magazine hold 10 rounds. Care to explain the logic here? Also add to the mix the rarity in which a .22 caliber rifle is used in a crime of violence by anyone. Yesterday, after extensive consideration, I have modified my position and would also eliminate the vast majority of civilian owned sidearms. There *might* be a case for civilian sidearms for those who qualify for a concealed carry permit, security professionals, etc. My desire to modify the constitution and eliminate the second amendment has nothing to do with "banning all guns". It has more to do with eliminating the silliness and difficulty associated with national gun control. Which you propose to cure with MORE gun control legislation. While you were deep in thought pondering whether or not you would allow the common man to possess a handgun, did you consider 1. The overwhelming number of crimes of violence using a firearm are committed by criminals? 2. Criminals (felons primarily, but domestic abusers as well) are already prohibited by law from possessing them, but yet they do possess them. 3. There are already so many firearms out there (for good, bad or otherwise) attempting to confiscate them by any means would be comparable to draining the lakes and waterways and turning them into dust bowls. 4. When you study the existing laws - whether idiotic, Draconian or reasonable - you have to ask yourself: a) why haven't they been obeyed? b) why haven't the penalties imposed by them been utilized? 5. Lastly, you do understand that criminals don't obey laws, correct? Spare us the crap about "but if we remove the "bad" firearms from upstanding citizens who will obey the law, we remove at least some of the guns from the criminal element. That logic argues that we should ban automobiles so that drunks and reckless drivers don't have access to 4,000 lbs of killing machines. No, I do not consider the second amendment to be sacred. That's painfully obvious. |

What do you do while you wait 10-30 minutes for police to arrive? Do you offer the dindus a beer and a snack while you wait? Will the police entire your house to arrest the dindus or will they wait outside for the dindus to leave? Will you wish you had a decent handgun to defend yourself? |

You are proposing banning a product that has always been legal and you want to make it illegal. insert hyperbolic rhetoric justifying it here That is ironic when you consider that most of the gun deaths are surrounding the second round of prohibition, the unconstitutional drug war. (they didn't even bother with an amendment this time) Even then, the knee jerk reaction was to regulate machine guns and silencers, (NFA34) when they represented a microscopic percentage of the murders.
