Okay, what the founding fathers approved, and we should respect their wishes here, was for the unregulated ownership of muzzle-loading flintlock single-shot rifles and pistols. I see nothing in the constitution giving anybody the right to automatic handguns and assault rifles, or any gun that loads from the breech or shoots multiple rounds between loadings. For those, you need registration, and with registration comes responsibilities. If your gun is used in the commission of a crime, and it wasn’t reported stolen prior to the crime, you’re responsible! If your kid takes them (even if he jimmies your gun safe) and shoots the school bully and the math teacher, you’re responsible.
And since you’ll be of course in a well ordered militia, you’ll need the requisite three-cornered hats and go drill every weekend, rain or shine, and have your photos and fingerprints and DNA on file with the authorities, along with serial numbers and a representative fired bullet from each gun.Then it might be barely acceptable.

Name calling is so grammar school — but then this IS Kansas where it’s still 10 years ago ….

Intersting — the current move toward BIG Republican Style Government actually began with Tom Delay and the Contract with America Folks in 92 / 94. It was one of the reasons Gingrich lost his Speakers seat in 98 I believe — the GOP blamed him for the expansion of gov’t he helped engineer.

.. and the GOP conservatives here it seems wants a small government so no one can look over their shoulder to protect the consumer – they got the financial deregulation beginning with Reagan that started the creation of the monster housing bubble that began in the 90s … and they want a government that can look over every one else, and into every corner of a persons life — if they could get away with it they would declare Jesus Dad, as the Official GOD of the country —

But you have already stated in way or another, that not everyone (felons) should not have that right (we take away their right to vote) — Don’t you think it a good idea that a gun buyer should pass a competency test of some sort? Not an IQ test, a rules test, perhaps some sort of skills test? … and what of those that are known to be mentally incompetent to understand the responsibility of gun ownership – do they get a free pass in spite of their illness? Should an 8 yr old be allowed? We dont let people vote til thier 18 and thats a right — AND you have to register to vote. Almost every gun owner knows someone who should not have a gun — scary that they rarely say anything until its too late —–

… and if you are so passionate about it and feel its your responsibility to protect your family and society, why don’t you organize the most avid amongst you, go to the gang neighborhoods and get some real practice on ahhhh self defense ? I’d rather do it from behind my moat and from the turrets on my house …

But it was approved and built under the Bush administration thinking it was for the coming Republican administration — a real stretch as usual to try to blame Obama — look at the billion dollar deal the Bushies for new helicopters for the President — I do believe he told Gates to trim that back if he cant eliminate it.

The number of threats against the president seem to have increased — hmmmm I wonder why?

I think you misunderstood my question, here it is again:

The most reasonable restrictions? Really? Name some of these “reasonable” restrictions and why you think they should be passed. i.e. what they will do. (You know, besides annoy gun owners)

The most reasonable restrictions? Really? Name some of these “reasonable” restrictions and why you think they should be passed. i.e. what they will do. (You know, besides annoy gun owners)

Figures. You are nothing more than the typical anti-gun liberal.

You don’t care about the practicality of the laws you want to pass, as long as it annoys gun owners.

And you wonder why we are opposed to such measures when you can’t even explain how they will do anything?

So… how exactly does gun registration do anything again?

They wouldn’t.

And you would not know what they had.

You would only know what law abiding people had.

For what purpose?

(Details of Obama’s Tank. Windows don’t even roll down.)

Now if we could just draft all the gun nuts into a “well ordered militia,” maybe they could keep a proper lid on you. Until then, we ought to register guns so we can at least keep an eye on you.
I’ve had meth-head neighbors at times, and I’d just as soon know what they have that’s lethal (and have some way of separating them from it), because I probably won’t know when they’re tweaking until bullets come through my living room wall.

These are the first pictures of the new armoured limousine which will be used to ferry Barack Obama around.

Nicknamed “The Beast”, the Cadillac will make its debut on 20 January, as part of the inaugural parade.

(Funny, it’s called “The Beast”. Plate #666?)

Obama got hisself a new Cadillac Armored Limo, not the same as what GWB had.

So did georgie bush.

Except HE also had people stationed on all four sides of him IN the vehicle. I know because a friend of mine saw it when she went to flip him off as he was paraded through town.

John F. Kennedy

And JFK knew he was taking a risk in riding through Dallas in a convertibile with no roof.

He also knew he needed to win Texas in the 64 elections if he was going to earn a 2nd Term.

Obama on the other hand, rides around in an Armored Limo Tank.
