Please resist conflating the gun control controversy with the education reform controversy. It is an injustice to the people who are working to resolve both issues.
We need gun policy reform in this country as badly as England needed religious reform in the 1500's.
They pulled themselves out of their dark ages, will we be able to do it?
Yeah its not "Gun Policy Reform" Its Gun Control, changing the name does nothing..
It will not pass at the federal level, and most states where it has passed it is being fought in the courts where it will be struck down as it should be...
Sad that you actually believe a wall of crapola text will disguise the fact that there are gun lovers out there who want their fellow citizens to be gunned down.
Keep it up. In the end, your own behavior and sociopathy will be a win for people of good will and humanity.

Another Example is Charlie rangel
Not just on taxes, which he feels he is above the laws he passes(Sociopaths traits 1. failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest; ,2. deception, as indicated by repeatedly lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure; and he tells us how to live our lives...tipicaly statist)
Charlie Rangel illegal add the Hughes Amendment to the Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986 Which banned the adding of new Machine Guns into the NFA Registry after the cut off date of May 19th 1986
The congressional record indicates that the recorded vote (taken before the vote which 'passed' it) was defeated 298 to 124with 12 not voting
Here is a PDF of the relevant section of April 10th
But then again we are crazy for taking actions and words and threats at face value....
How will you explain these away?
impulsive or failure to plan ahead;
No even a full day after Sandy Hook Democrats and other leftist were calling for Gun Bans and other legislation the be rammed thought without being read(wow notice how they don't want bills to be read, notice a pattern here?)
They call for more laws that will do nothing be limit, greatly the rights and freedoms of law abiding citizens.
They fail to accepted the fact criminals do not care about laws.
A murderer with the intent to kill people cares about magazines limits and Gun Free Zones as much as terrorist to care that his car bomb is taking up two parking spaces, they don't.
irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults;
Funny are we the ones threaten to kill the kids of those who advocate for our subjugation via gradual disarmament? No.
reckless disregard for safety of self or others;
Evie Hudak telling rape survivor Amanda Collins a pistol would not have prevented her from being raped.
Amanda Collins is a young rape survivor. While in college in 2007, she was raped 50 feet away from the campus police department office at the University of Nevada-Reno and was lucky to get out alive. Her attacker was James Biela, a serial rapist who raped two other women and murdered another. He attacked her at gun point in a gun free zone. At the time of the attack, Collins was in possession of a concealed weapons permit but was not in possession of her firearm due to university policies prohibiting carrying concealed weapons on campus. She was also a second degree black belt at the time and walked to the parking garage with a large group of people.
He she been able to to carry that pistol, James Biela would be in shot, and in custody or dead, and unable to rape and murder Brianna Denison
Interesting quote at 1:16 into video that sheds light on the priorities of State Sen. Harvey... "What we are trying to do here tonight is not to protect ourselves from violent crime. What we are trying to do here tonight is protect students and teachers from feeling uncomfortable by you carrying a gun to protect yourself." (I wonder how "uncomfortable" it feels to be a victim of a violent crime?!?)
Evie Hudak is wrong for the following reason
In this country gun violence is a daily occurrence. Eighty-five Americans are shot and killed on an average day. Sixty-two percent of those who are killed are the victims of self-inflicted wounds from committing suicide. Most adolescent suicides are committed by youths at home who used the family gun obtained from home. States with weaker gun laws and higher rates of household gun ownership have higher rates of gun suicide and higher overall suicide rates. Although many gun control opponents have argued against counting suicides by firearms as gun-related deaths, because the suicide victim can substitute another form of suicide, Harvard researchers have found that fatality rates for suicide attempts with a gun are over ninety percent while rates for cutting, piercing, and drug overdoses (the other most common methods used to attempt suicide) are under five percent.
consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations;
Notice how elected elections fail to honor and obey the Constitution by injecting their opinions and views over the Natural and Constitutional rights.
Consistent irresponsibility to pass laws that would remove law that restrict the Natural and Constitutional right to Keep And Bear Arms.
example
Assembly Judiciary Committee Chairman Jason Frierson, D-Las Vegas.
This guy would not allow a vote on AB143 proposed allowing people with a concealed weapons permit
to carry firearms on higher education campuses IE The Nevada Campus Protection Act
A man who let his personal feelings supersede the rules of the Nevada State Legislator, the People of Nevada, and the Constitution Of The Great State Of Nevada and of the United States Of American
lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another;
Well..need less to say the lack of caring about the rights and freedoms being limited for the advance of laws which will do nothing to reduce violent crime but create more victims and increase the monopoly of force and violence of the state at the expense of liberty...
Not caring about who is harmed by the reduced ability to defend themselves, not caring of even acknowledging that millions of law abiding citizens would be make felons, not for harm or stealing from anyone but just exercise their Natural and Constitutional Right To Keep And Bear Arms.
the lack of basic understanding that the laws they have passed are to blame such as Gun Free Zones which have been the scenes of 64 of the last 65 mass shooting, where the killers knew that their victims would be defenseless..
And yet we are to blame?
For understanding that criminals will not obey the law, they life and liberty are worth defending with force of arms...using facts, logic, reason, observation and basic common sense.
Their are two groups responsible for their actions....The murders who commit them, and the politicians that aid and abed them through moronic, emtionlistc laws that do nothing be strip rights and freedom away from the individualism and inbed more power and force to the state, one should only have to look at history and the 250,000,00 murder in the great genocide and democides of the 20th century to see the harm of a disarmed public or a public with out sufficient arms for defense against the state...
"it cant happen here" you say?
Go ask a Native American and ask them of the great massacres like wounded Knee
Go ask a Mormon and ask them of Executive Order 44, also known as the Extermination Order in Latter Day Saint history And the Utah War...
Funny how you claim we are ignorant brutes, yet you are ok with the use of unjust, unconstitutional, and illegal, and tyrannical force to disarm, subjugate, and exterminate those who disagree with you..
We are not Sociopaths, they is only you looking to a mirror.
We are sentinels of liberty, standing eternally vigilante in the defense of the means of defending our liberty, lives, and property, willing and ready to strike in defense to protect the last bastion of freedom and liberty on God`s good earth..
To all who would disarm, harm, subjugate, enslavement and commit acts of tyranny, and demoicide against the American people you will fail...
I got news for ya. All your rights are subject to reasonable restrictions. For example, your rights to carry a gun on your person ends at my property line, like it or not.
And the 2nd doesn't say, "Shall not be infringed except on private property". But it is an undeniable fact that you can't have a gun on my property if I say so.
So what do ya have to say about those apples?
actually no they do not, you can tell me to leave, by force if necessary but not infringed mean exactly that.
the 2nd Amendment does not say reasonable restrictions, it says shall not be infringed.
Yeah its not "Gun Policy Reform" Its Gun Control, changing the name does nothing..
It will not pass at the federal level, and most states where it has passed it is being fought in the courts where it will be struck down as it should be...
Well, I hope people who ask for some common sense reforms are not branded as Heretics and burned at the stake. That would suck.
Gabby and the rest of her ilk have no more weight on their opinions of gun control then I do. I don't give a rats rear end that she was shot, that is not to say I condone it, it was a crime and blablabla, but because someone was killed by a drunk driver does not give them more right to say what policy of cars, or alcohol is.For the mentally impaired I am not condoning drunk driving, but some to this day want to bring back Temperance. So someone lost a child due to a school shooting, that is a tragic loss and I empathize with you, but that does not give you the right to take away or diminish my right to own guns. I have a constitutional right to have guns, you don't have one to put your feelings above my rights. Gifford is doing nothing but being used as a dog and pony show to try to tug at the emotions of those who know nothing nor want to learn anything about firearms. Its simple for the simple minded, just ban them, who needs an AR? or am AK? Right? But we gun owners know that after the ARs and AKs are gone, the question will then go to who needs a Shotgun that can pump 8 rounds through it, you only need 3 rounds for duck hunting right? Who needs a scope that can hit a target at 1000 yards when most deer are shot at 100 yards or less, and who needs a gun that shoots a bullet more than .25 caliber, its just all too much. How needs a hand gun that shoots more than 6 rounds, If it ever got that far the eventual question that is at the end of the list of the gun grabbers like giffords is who needs a gun? They use the same bad logic that Jack Web used in Dragnet many years ago when a woman wanted a gun for protection, "if you can get to a gun, you can get to a phone and call the police." But the libs will not go on to say, what to do when that perp is stabbing you 57 times before the cops get there to do their job and clean up the mess of your blood all over the apt. We know what the agenda is, and saying its common sense gun safety is like telling the Jews in 39 Germany that they are being moved to safe camps to avoid the allied possible bomb strikes of the coming war. Its total BS, its not gun safety, its not common sense, its picking the low hanging fruit with the eventual goal of stripping the tree.
Sad that you actually believe a wall of crapola text will disguise the fact that there are gun lovers out there who want their fellow citizens to be gunned down.
Keep it up. In the end, your own behavior and sociopathy will be a win for people of good will and humanity.
So in short you have nothing to say and you claim the moral high ground we own as your own....

Yep, those that say they are ok with everyone having only ol Bidens double barrel are lying. It's no more or less lethal than an AR. At least DI FI was being honest when she said she wanted to grab em all.
