Did any gun owner vote Democrat?
If you did, you should read what they are trying pass while we are so preoccupied by the "stimulus". Look up HR-45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of 2009. Its basically Congresses way for making it nearly impossible to own a gun... without officially outlawing them.

Beren--when you license something, you propose to have authority over it. Owning any "arms" is a RIGHT granted by God and guaranteed in the 2nd amendment. It is not a privilege that can be restricted as much as the government would like to control it.
Read this bill...the reason he proposed it was because he wants to do studies on firearms deaths/injuries and keep up on manufacture production--GIVE ME A BREAK! They're making a database of people who own guns, what model they own, and when they got it. WHAT DIFFERENCE WILL THAT MAKE ON CRIME or HOW WILL IT IMPROVE THEIR RESEARCH? How can we already have statistics on firearm related homicides or injuries if it's not already possible to track that through police investigations and the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR). Crime isn't crime until AFTER it's happened. To propose a database of owners prior to a crime, assumes a crime will happen, and makes those owners SUSPECTS. You have to give your photo and finger print which invades the privacy of responsible, law-abiding citizens. You're not going to prevent the crime by enacting this into law, just get stats after the fact.
This is straight out of the communist manifesto folks--READ IT. It's was what Hitler did with the Jews in Germany before he started rounding them up. WAKE UP AMERICA!

each and each section trample rights. someone can make a similar argument about voting Republican as a Democrat. as an get jointly, i experience contained in the Republican stance on politics, yet because of consistent manipulation so some distance as being antagonistic to gay marriage, i ought to by no skill vote for a Republican. it truly is all performed to strategically to apply your thoughts antagonistic to you. that is what you're feeding into. I do it to boot...in basic terms attempt to upward push above it and do not let them administration you. EDIT: they say that you're a ******* troll because of way you're affirming that Democrats are trampling over rights for all time. not because you're a liberal who needs guns. The solutions right here were fairly authentic looking--what get jointly ideologies? DUMBASS.

I am solidly behind the right to bare arms.
I voted democratic
Fact
Liberals outnumber, percentage wise, gun control over conservs, but only separated by a single digit.
I am one of the millions of liberals who believe the current crop of gun control laws are all we need. We only need to enforce the current laws, not put more on the books.
I am also for the right for every law abiding citizen the right to carry a concealed weapon. Places that have such regulations have proven to have less violent crime, because obviously the criminals don't know who's packing. Albeit, crimes of passion go up, nevertheless, it is not nearly as much as the reduction in violent crimes.

Of course we did. Further, Holt has already put up this bill..in 2007..under a democrat controlled congress. It went nowhere.

Figures this would be the works of RUSH! Rush was one of the founders of the BLACK PANTHERS! The guy is a LOON! Black Panthers have ILLEGAL GUNS!
Funny, I just had a similar question on this! They are SO EVIL that govt! We need to stop them! NOW!
In Chicago, they pretty much can't own guns now, only if you have a farmers license. Only since they passed these outrageous laws the murder rate HAS DOUBLED in Chicago. Gangs are out of control, and they get illegal guns! How do WE PROTECT OUR FAMILIES OBAMA!!!! ?????
BUT Obama I don't hang with Gang members and CROOKS like you guys do , so I can't get illegal weapons!

Get a license and own a gun. what is the problem?
You are also required to get a driver's license to drive a car and it not nearly impossible to legally drive a car.
