Retailers start to pull some rifles from shelves

I don't think there is a thought in anyone's mind about the safety of our children and other persons as far as violence against them goes.  To say that we would put material things ahead of human life is not something anyone should consider and I don't think people do that are sane.  We are again dealing with naive people that have an agenda to eliminate guns because of an extreme tragedy, knowing that the gun was not the problem.  It was the tool used by a person that had no right to have the gun, or axe, or car, or bomb or any other device that could have taken human life.  These killings have more to do with mentally incompetent, depressed and angered persons than guns.  The ban will not help or stop this type of behavior, it didn't at Columbine and it won't the next time someone decides to go on a rampage.  The problems stem from mental deficiency, persons depressed about their state of life, violent video games that cause young people to lose track of reality and a host of other society related things.  People by the thousands have lost their homes, cars, families due to divorce because of hard times and who knows what else.  The last 8-10 years have been hard on people, the economy continues to deteriorate, jobs continue to be lost, wages do not keep up with the cost to live.  These things play on people's minds and the weaker of these feel they have no place to turn.  Parents need to spend time with children and raise them, establish values and not just give them money to entertain themselves.  We need to put God back in our lives like our forefathers had at the inception of this great country.  And all of us need to realize that the world today is not a safe place, here or anywhere else.  Where were all of the adults at Sandy Hook when this tragedy started, hiding behind a desk or ????  Whether this young man had a gun or not, we cannot just sit by and let these kind of persons just slaughter us or blow us up or ?? without making some effort to stop them.  All of you that think the gun is so bad, stop and think that if just one adult in that school or the theater in Colorado had a CCW permit and had access to their own firearm,  maybe the shooter at the school would not have killed so many.  We can't just sit on our asses at times like this.  We have to take some initiative to try and help ourselves and banning guns or for that matter any other item that can be use to accomplish the same thing will not help.  Come on people, let's don't pass more feel good laws that have no teeth, get off your asses and help yourselves.  And another sad thing about this is, is that the talk of firearms bans and magazine capacity, has caused a buying frenzy on these items.  Many retailers will make a huge profit on these items because and only because the naive lawmakers and citizens that don't enjoy the shooting hobby have caused this.  Do you really thing that bans of these items will stop the next person from doing the same thing that Lanza did?  I don't think so,  get real.

I was always afraid of guns. After some one came after me with a gun and i had no way to shoot back  I decided that the only thing scarier than guns was needing one and not having it. I now own a large collection.   Gun Control is NOT the problem ! Few if any of the people who have commit these Heinous Acts would have been detered by tighter gun laws. This is a Social Mental Imbalance problem that cannot be corrected by Disarming people of there ability to defend themself. Additionaly I think if more people Carried Guns fewer people would come A shootin Knowing that there Potential victims would shoot back.

I just dont understand why gun nuts are so mad at dicks.....I thought they liked them.

Experts Agree: Gun Control Works

Experts like Chairman Mao, Adolph Hitler, Kim Jung il, Fidel Castro and Benito Mussolini all agree: gun control works just like it's supposed to.

The first thing dictators do to make it easy to enforce their agenda upon the peoples of their countries is to confiscate the weapons of the people. In order to prevent this from happening here in "America" and to protect the rest of the amendments in the "Constitution" the Fathers of our country created the "2nd Amendment". So, even if one hates weapons, it would be wise for one to protect the "2nd Amendment in order to preserve the freedoms they have here in the "Good Ole U.S.A." and the rest of the world wishes they still had because they didn't have our marvel of human history, the "Constitution".

Peace.

Not selling guns in Conn. Is just stupid. Guns didn't kill these people, a mentally ill person did because the guns were in easy access. Treat the mental illness first, then educate people on gun safety and safes and trigger locks. This kid's Mom paid with her life. Let's address the elephant in the room. Where's the Dad? How much time did the Mom spend with her kid? What drugs was he taking, prescribed or otherwise? Who paid attention to the warning signs that this kid had problems? Our forefathers put our 2nd Amendment rights in place to insure we as citizens, could protect ourselves from tyranny and crime within our country.No one, including our government, has the right to remove or change our constitutional rights. You can have my weapons when you pry them from my cold dead hands. GOD BLESS AMERICA

Isn't this real funny....Our Great Obama administration at it's finest.

 

Last year the Federal Government is implicated in a gun running scheme.

 

Now the Federal Government want to get involved in gun control.

 

Then alas....You get your picture on the cover of time magazine "Man of the year"....We really got it together don't we?

What we need to do is test everybody past the age of 10 and determine their mental state and put the defecient ones down before they can menace society. It's as good an answer as politicains wanting to take away brainless guns that sit for years and never harm a soul till that certain mentally defecient that slipped through the test takes it and slaughters a bunch of people preferably politicians.

Second Amendment - " A well-regulated militia being necessary....".  The gun proponents seem to miss this intro to the amendment.  Also, the Bill of Rights was passed  when the Nation was quite afraid of Pres. Madison's push to establish a national religion just a few years after our Revolution.  It was intended as a means of a "well-regulated militia".

This whole mess is about mental illness, not guns!!! If the NRA would get behind backing for mental health legislation we might just get somewhere. We need more services, more hospitals, rather than using our prison systems for the mentally ill. Get your gun wielding friends behind this cause and the gun issue will go away.
