Let gun victims speak

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

I can't believe you are foolish enough to fall for the NRA #######. You don't seem to know that the NRA is not for "gun lovers," but an organization funded by gun manufacturers. They want people to buy more guns because it makes them more money. They package some freedom loving spiel to dupe people into supporting them. What they really want is money.

What a clown.

No way, the NRA is just a bunch of freedom loving Americans.

I wish I had known of the "like it or leave" argument back in November when there were tantrums being thrown on this board about someone's reelection.

Can I tell all the rabid anti-Obama folks to move out of the country until his term is done? Does "like it or leave" apply to that too? Just curious.

Sure you can. Free speech. We do not have to listen. We can choose to accept Obama as one of the "minuses" and realize he is a temporary occupant of the White House. I am pro-choice. There is nothing we can do to change it now until he leaves office. I choose to stay most of the time but I can spend my summers in Ukraine.

YOU can choose to accept the US gun laws as one of the minuses also and stay here. What you cannot do is change it and take away rights.

Feel free to "blah, blah, blah" all you want.

Blah blah blah!

I'm OK with that. You?

"Hey guys, I sell cigarettes! And you all know that cigarettes make you cool! And the more cigarettes you have the cooler you are! And everyone is trying to take our cool away! We need our cool! It's the only thing in our lives worth living for! I pledge that I will do everything in my power to make sure you can stay cool! Please join my club so we can stay cool together! Cool power!"

[Penny Lane 8,159]

I don't HAVE to accept anything I can complain about gun laws, you can complain about Obama. See how that works? Don't always have to leave when you don't like something.

Nothing wrong with wanting to improve on something you don't like about the country you live in.

Gun fever is a disease.

Freedom to smoke and carry a concealed packet of ciggies

Because it is a right and not subject to opinion. Rights are intended to protect what is NOT popular. We did not pass a civil rights act to protect white people. We do not recognize the rights of Gay/Lesbians because most people are Gay/Lesbian. We do not need the 1st amendment to protect the New York Times, we need it to protect Larry Flynt. We do not need freedom of religion to protect Catholicism, we need it to protect Islam, Scientology, and Unitarianism.

I am disappointed that an American cannot answer a simple question about the importance of our freedoms to a foreigner better than to say "Most people want it but they cannot get it passed". Doesn't say much fr our schools.

A better answer to your wife's friends and family would be..".then stay in Canada."

You must have cement between your ears, because no one, and I mean absolutely no one is advocating taking your guns away. You and your band of fellow looney tune gun owners that continuously post this drivel are the sole reason why there can be no progress in this discussion. Everyone of you are stuck on stupid. You talk about the failure of our schools? You're the prime example of the educational failure in this country. What person who posesses an ounce of logic or common sense can continuously read posts from people that say "We do not want to take your guns away, we just want stricter rules and regulations", and twist that into "They're coming for our guns"? You and the rest of your gun nut looneys are the poster children for educational failure.

What gives you the right to speak for any other citizens who posess the same natural rights that you do?

What kind of a jackass thinks they are the end all and be all that they can tell someone to get out of their country?

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

Someone who used to post here, part of this group, actually said they he wished that he could decide who could live in the country. Then he said it wold be a super cool paradise of cool people. This was his fantasy, like "I just WISH I could decide who lives here!"

I had a similar fantasy about my middle school when I was a preteen, before my brain was fully developed. "Middle school is hard! Imagine how awesome it would be if only my friends were here!" Angst.

The person advocating this on this forum was not a preteen, though. Sad day.

Yes . lawmakers do want to take our guns away . It has been posted many times on this board in response to your rants. do a search.

[Teddy B 17,252]

Americans. NRA members, of which I have been a life member involved in legislative issues for nearly 40 years. WE. Me and my posse, are not going to let pansies who cannot answer questions about US freedoms take them awy from US.

If you don't like it... it makes me happy.

There will be no new gun control laws. WE made sure of that last fall.

You and your posse?? Pansies?? Us?? You do know those cow chips are not for human consumption, don't you?

Last I checked, I was an American too, granted not the same kind of gun loving American you are, but an American nonetheless . What makes your opinions about our natural rights more important than mine or anyone elses?

He is packing.

[CarlosAndSveta 808]

Or stay and accept it. There is no constitutional provision to change the "Bill of Rights"

You can deal with it...or leave. No new gun laws. There WILL be further expansion of gun owners rights.

You are wrong. Read article 5 of the U.S. Constitution. An amendment could be made to change or nullify the 2nd Amendment.
