So nobody's calling for gun confiscation, huh? (Iraq, Obama, election)

That's next.

The point is that there is no bill out there to confiscate guns. The OP is totally wrong.

We've heard the slippery-slope argument before, like how Medicare in 1965 was going to to lead to the government telling doctors where they could live;

That's next, ATF agents knocking down your door, taking your guns? LOL Alarmist much?

ATF agents don't have the authority to do ANYTHING and that's because the NRA bought-and-paid-for politician, a Republican, inserted text into laws which rendered ATF powerless!

This is ridiculous. Why should my tax money be spent on buying back someone's property???

Based on the reactions of most Democratic Senators, I'd say "vote you out of office" would be about right.

LOL! First we hear that Washington's opinion is worthless, now we hear that an unelected private citizen's opinion from 1934 IS of great import.

I strongly believe this statement.....

When the Government fears the people, there is peace. But when the people fear the Government, well, the United States happens. The people are no match for domestic or foreign threats once they have been disarmed and the people of the United States are rapidly walking towards that scenario.

You only need to look back at history to see how the above is factual.

Really....what makes you lefties feel that our government is so benign?
