Will Congress listen to the people? Or will it be business as usual with nothing getting done to address these issues?

Will the will of the NRA continue to rear its ugly head?

[Hermit For Peace]

No. Yes. Yes. And the answers to those three questions will remain the same for the foreseeable future.

So what's it gonna take for change to occur? I have no clue.

[Hermit For Peace]

Maybe that's part of the problem, which is that we don't think things can change.

It's gonna take a fresh perspective on our situation that offers something real that we can do to address the issue of guns and all these senseless killings.

So where will that fresh perspective come from? I think the filibuster in Congress that is going on now is a start. Bringing attention to the issue of Congress's inaction during these countless mass-shooting atrocities is shining a light on the problem. Maybe that voice will continue to get stronger with each passing day until the American people's voice is finally heard.

Maybe if Hillary becomes President she will get something accomplished in that arena. One can only hope.

Obviously banning guns isn't going to work. It only makes the gun manufacturers very happy when scared people run in and clean out the gun stores.

So why not just repeal all gun laws and let's declare open territory. Anyone can carry a gun, anywhere, anytime. Anyone can buy a gun -- even children -- and anyone can use a gun to defend their honor. I mean, it's your honor for crying out loud.

Let's put guns in all schools and all churches, heck, let's even put guns in grocery stores for purchase.

We need to think outside the box on this. If you can't beat them then join them, right?

But why are assault weapons legal in the first place? What on earth purpose do they serve? Jesus Christ, why do people -- probably 99% men -- have to have an assault rifle, ever, except to fight in war?

As a female, I will never understand or approve of the mindset that thinks it needs a weapon of mass destruction for any reason other than that our country is at war.

The Sig MCX is a carbine therefore a rife which is a type of arms, thus as it relates to the 2ND shall not be infringed upon.  Automatics(Thompson SS) have been banned since 1934 unless you owned one of the pre-banned ones which only the super rich could prob afford and or collectors.  A missile isn't something granted to you as a right to own because its not a firearm.

Fetuses are people despite the lefts love for killing the unborn and using them as spare parts.


Speaking of sex and guns.  2 guns if I could afford or the 1934 ban was ever lifted.

Pure sex right there.

Couple things: I'm a female and have never ever ever been interested in guns. I don't know anyone who owns a gun and I will admit I am pretty ignorant about all the different kinds.

Now having said that, your post brought a couple things to mind. The first is: SEX.

That's it! Sex and also power is the big allure to these things. That's why the NRA will fight to the death anyone who tried to take away their manhood. At least, this is what seems obvious to me.

Also, the next thing is, it's VERY expensive to use those guns that you linked to. Fire off a 32 round in seconds, then keep doing it and doing it over and over. What a waste of $$$. Who can afford it?

To people who have no need for guns, all this hullabaloo about owning them, that it's your "right" to have military-grade kill machines, blah blah blah....all sounds like a bunch of _____.

I believe that the Second Amendment has been twisted and turned to the point of total nonrecognition from what the Founding Fathers originally meant. They had no vision of modern-day weapons and are probably turning over in their graves at thought of what we have done with their words.

I don't know anyone who owns a gun

Probably the same people who can afford to get passport and vacation in foreign countries, or who can afford to own and stable a horse, or who have an amateur pilots license and fly their own Cessna on the weekends, or who enjoy sailing on their own boat, or who spend unGodly amounts of money on superbowl tickets or March Madness tickets or Katy Perry tickets. Some people can afford to have their own swimming pools. Others collect cars. There are tons and tons of expensive hobbies out their. I've never seen the logic in spending all that money on any of these hobbies, but I don't see how that makes it objectively wasteful. Just wasteful to me because I am not interested in them.

I understand that, but then again that doesn't make it a knowledgeable viewpoint. I will never have a need to donate money to a Socialist or go to a Unitarian Church or have sex with another man, that doesn't mean I think those who do such things are full of ____ or have no right to do such things.

This logic has been so thoroughly debunked it's practically a parody of anti-gunner logic. Earlier this year all 8 Supreme Court justices including Ginsburg, Sotomayer, Kagan, and frickin Breyer (who hates rights) unanimously agreed that the 2nd Amendment is not somehow limited to 1791 technology. Otherwise there would be no free speech protections for protest signs made on posterboards, no religious protections for Mormons, no press protections for Newspapers printed on laser printers, no warrant protections against cars, and no torture protections against the electric chair.

My view point may not be "knowledgeable" but it's my viewpoint nonetheless. I can't shake what I feel is right.

And yes I am ignorant of Supreme Court rulings, but the one I bolded makes me laugh. Not limited to 1791 technology? That is really really laughable, considering the Founders could never have had a clue in a million years what kind of havoc the type of guns we have today would be playing in our modern society.

This isn't funny, but I thought I'd post it here. It's quite sad and ironic at the same time.

Well here's something that even I can understand. So this is what is behind such a massive push for gun ownership and gun ownership "rights" and for not allowing gun control measures to pass Congress:

So it all comes down to $$$. That's what it looks like to me. Such a shame.
