Not quite as anti-gun as the guy he beat. The one that actually did ban guns as governor.

well, I didnt vote for either jerk. also look into the Mass assault weapons ban. it went over very well for those living in mass. it took away assault rifles of the civilian type, and gave more rights in other gun areas.

We were told that back in 2008. I still have my guns. You still have yours?

How many guns has Obama confiscated? How many new federal gun control laws has he advocated for and signed into law?

dont ever expect to have a sitting president make gun laws during 1st term, as most potus want to get re-elected. 2nd term they know their time is done and cant reign again.

The issue isn't guns its anger management or maybe steroid over use to be atop of your game but of course the elitists always blame the GUNS ~

We have become the new Roman Empire with our football gladiators,extravagant lifestyles,insane leaders....no morals financially bankrupt waiting on the Huns.

It's hilarious that Bob spent so much time trying to say that this was Jason Whitlock's statement but he is still getting the flack for it.

Default Leftist's opinion

I am way left of many liberals on this board and my take on guns is simple:

Anyone, unless convicted of a violent felony or determined irresponsible because of mental illness, should be able to own and carry a firearm anywhere. However the person that pulls the trigger is responsible for the damage done by the bullet. If someone shoots another person they had better have a very good reason such as defending themselves or others.

Shorter version:
The gun is not responsible; the person is.
