If the liberals do get their anti gun agendas passed?
Do they take into consideration of the fact that a black market will arise on guns that would be illegal to obtain here in the U.S?! I never hear Senator Dianne Feinstein, who is trying to get more gun control laws passed, mention of a black market on illegal guns! Also do liberals think that criminals will adhere to gun control laws? Plus also, getting them in Mexico, and bringing them back across the border into the U.S, I mean, some of us MAY HAVE in the past actually brought "Not so legal" fireworks across the border from Mexico into the U.S. with no problem whatsoever! Now what makes them think not with firearms? Do liberals take into consideration of these things? Are they that oblivious to these facts? Your thoughts please. . .
@ El Tecolote: Pot is legal in Colorado, and in Washington (state) so I guess it isn't so illegal now! All but two states!
@ Loser: What would be the ending? More Governemnt control within our daily lives? More work for an already overworked, and understaffed lawenforcement? More work for Mulas crossing our southern border to not only sell illegal drugs, but sell illegal firearms as well? What would be the end? I know your thinking would be to get Semi autos with more than five shots per magazine off the street, but I see a bigger scope of things!
@ People Person: People will still find ways of killing other people in massive situations. . . Take for example the Middle East! All it takes is someone insane enough to get, or make explosives, make a "deadmans switch" board a mass transit bus let go of the "deadmans switch" and kill everyone on board! My hope is that nothing of this nature happens here.
@Bill: Who says I am whining? I see things with a broader scope, you don't! Ah but you like being told how much you can eat, what you can eat, how much you can drink, how much water you can use, where to go for your vacation. . . You just love being told how to live your life by an elected official! Where as me, I would rather live in a republic that cherishes liberty, than a democracy that has no love for liberty!
@Marvinsussman: Okay show where we can get grade uranium 238 please?!! I mean, I do know how to build a three stage rocket! I do attend launch events by LDRS-Note! Now I know all of you liberals are totally confused but when I mention LDRS (Large Dangerous Rocket Ships) it is NOT to be confused with Mitt Romney's Mormon faith known as LDS (Latter Day Saints) now it is not very hard to build rocket! Even those little Estes Rockets that the local Hobby Shops sell are fun to build! OH HELL!!! You liberals might even put restrictions, if not ban out right private ownership of rockets because we may exceed government (and private) funded NASA!!! Or in the Al "Hypocrite Mr Occidental Petroleum" Gore's "Awful truth" mind, I am punching holes in the atmosphere when I launch, and killing off the poor little polar bears!!! (I can be so sarcastic!!!) But it would not surprise me!
@CCT: My actual "favorite toy" is a 3 stage Porthos Rocket powered by J 6 rocket engines (I am in the design phase of building one as we speak) as a matter of fact; I do attend LDRS, Tripoli, RoC (Rockets of California) held events! I mourn for those innocent lives that were lost! I also mourn for those lives that are in the womb lost in abortion mills! And I do own firearms, for both defense, and hunting (Sport) but I do understand where you might be coming from, but it cannot take away the fact that people will find ways of killing his fellow man! No matter how hard you make it to obtain a weapon, you also make that much it harder for one to defend themselves! My question is also IF? If there was an armed security guard with either a firearm, or even a stungun, or even a metal detector? But hindsight is unfortunately 20/20! Let's also take into consideration of what recently happened in China. . . . A man walks into a school wielding a meat cleaver killing 20 kids! Also

As the left tries to shame Americans into surrendering the 2nd Amendment, by shamelessly exploiting the innocent dead. One thing has been announced in Venezuela. That Putin and Chavez have decided to build not just one but TWO AK47/74 plants in Chavez's dictatorship.
Does ANYONE think these two new plants will strictly be limited to pumping out semi auto clones for the USA civilian market??? Or, are they to help grow the arms of the South American dictatorship of Chavez? Perhaps even helping arm an invasion of a stripped populace and depleted Army of the USA??
Mention has been made of removing a civilian's right to do a face to face gun purchase. With no FFL dealer involved. How they could possibly achieve some of their goals and ideas? Without a vast and profitable snitch system? Is unknown. Because, if I which to sell an arm to someone. I'll do it. FFL check be damned.
Which is the very key to the black market. No one giving a damn what the government imposes upon us. The burden is in the obeying anymore. The burden use to be that it was hard and offensive to disobey. These days? There are too many rules, too many regs and FAR too few honest people to enforce. The system rife with corruption and favoritism
Perhaps the very idea IS to drive things into the black market? Being our government is so riddled with the corrupt. The greater profit IS the black market. Deal direct in arms and ammo with the gangs our government seems to support.. No middle man like an honest FFL dealer..You want an arm or a drug? Go to the local gang dealer. He pays the government their "cut" directly.

You need to educate yourself on the issue. For starters, the guns that are coming across the border from Mexico are being purchased originally in gun stores in places like Arizona. Did you know that? That's because the laws there are so ridiculously lax. Of course there is always going to be a black market. No one is denying that, not even Feinstein. The goal is to reduce the number of guns in circulation as much as possible, making them harder to get. You talk about others being oblivious to the facts when it is clear that you haven't put much thought into the issue.

There's already a black market for guns. Half a million are stolen from law-abiding citizens every year and end up in the hand of criminals.
If anything, restricted ownership of guns cripples the black market for them. Law-abiding citizens supply the whole thing.
Plus, guns go from the US to Mexico, not the other way around.

Don't look at it as an 'Anti Gun Agenda', look at it as a 'Innocent Child Protection Agenda'. Whatever screwed up assessment of gun crime in the UK or else where you want to give in arguement that's completely irrelevant. The 'liberals' aren't doing it because they want to deprive you of your favourite toy, don't look at it so selfishly, they're doing it WITH THE INTENTION, let me say again INTENTION, that changing gun laws will protect innocents. INTENTION. You must at least hear the other side of the arguement, and you cannot demonise someone for suggesting it. You certainly cannot moralise your own position in the wake of another massacre. RIP kids, it looks like you're already forgotten in this arguement.

I predict arms will begin flowing in from the Middle East and old Soviet bloc countries.
Criminals and determined patriots and lovers of freedom will be a great market.

"Liberals" are not going to pass any anti guns agendas. The Democarts in Congress could try to make stricter gun laws, but they will not pass.
Gun control is not one of my liberal views nor am I a Democrat.

We need to do something about guns, yes people will find a way to get guns here to the U.S., but we can't stand by and do nothing as we have done in the past.

Therefore legalize atomic weapons for individuals? Why must Good always have to wait for Perfect?
