There are enought laws on the books already. They (Government) wont even enforce them. Law enforcment will lock them up and a few days later the criminal is back on the street. If the sentence is manditory 10 years they are out in 2. My friends it not about GUN CONTROL its about CONTROL over us. WE THE PEOPLE.

That is correct. the 2nd Amendment (as in the first 10 Amendments) are considered natural rights endowed to us by our Creator. A firearm is not rocket science:

1. load projectile into chamber.
2. aim at/look beyond target and cock it.
3. squeeze the trigger and rock it.

I support criminal control.
And law abiding citizens right to protect themselves with guns.
Guns may be used as an offensive or defensive tool.
Don't disarm me.
And leave me a helpless victim to criminals that will always be armed.

Yes I do, I want to hit what I shoot at.

How many legal, safe gun owners have committed crimes of the caliber that have prompted all of this hysteria? Those of us who are responsible gun owners are appalled by the tragedies that continue happening and many would probably willingly put themselves in harms way to prevent it if given the opportunity.

Nonetheless, there are nut jobs out there that have access to guns and shouldn't. Just as with airline security, leave it up to the government and it turns into a complete cluster-****. They keep trying to force the law abiding people to submit to stricter laws because they are the only ones who will ultimately comply with them. The criminals on the streets aren't going to pay any attention to any legislation they pass. They are going to continue to obtain illegal weapons and use them.

As an earlier poster said, they need to start focusing on the criminals. The mentally ill might also be a good place to start. Mentally ill people should not own or handle guns nor should criminals. Once someone has crossed the line and committed crime, that should end their opportunity to ever possess one. Figuring out how to make certain that doesn't happen is going to take more time than 30 days. Whatever Obama is going to announce tomorrow is going to make about as much difference as banning all apples from America.

No I do not.
They will lie and maybe worse.
Answer will always be no.
