What a great representative for your side of this issue! I thought the spokespeople for the NRA were crazy, but this paranoid freak puts them to shame.

I discount what most politicians say, including those politicians in the military.

I thought alex jones did a good job at owning that twerp morgan. after all, all morgan wants is for americans to be under british rule again.

People who are backing I Won tend to think like he does and since shall not be infringed is it the document that he says gets in his way we have to understand that he doesn't know the meaning of those words. It is too bad but very true.

Hahahaha.....

Alex Jones did a good job at showing the world what a gun nut looks, acts, and sounds like - and it wasn't pretty.

I can't believe anyone could be impressed by that show he put on. What a loon.

3 simple measures. now explain to me how you are going to enforce them?

the 3rd point is already illegal, guess you did not know that. will you also make it illegal for the feds to be charged and convicted of gun trafficking as well, such as the failed fast and furious project?

1st point is done on all ffl purchases, very hard to do with any private sale. good luck with that one.

2nd point, I wont even attempt to explain to you what an assault rifle is, as you dont really want to know. how will you confiscate all those misnamed assault rifles and magazines?

I will wait for an answer, but somehow i dont think you will be able to come up with a solution.

The 2nd amendment says you can own guns in your home. I agree with that. But unless you are part of a sanctioned militia you better leave them at home.

Illegally transporting or carrying firearms should be a felony.

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Hmmm...doesn't say anything about keeping them at home.

Roy, you don't understand.. The anti-gun crowd would rather her been raped and murdered than to have the criminal shot... That pooooor criminal.... The evil Georgia woman shot him... Terrible..

Some of the items are already done. Any help with the mental would be better than the nothing we have now. It appears they need more guns in school not fewer, at least lives would be saved if the teachers were armed. We all should know that posting a do not shoot here sign is silly. This group has been on this agenda for years sayings that all our problems are due to guns. At the same time supporting increasing violence in childrens games, etc. Beware the crazy media encouraged will only go on to some other means or tool of destruction when the guns are not available. Thus I support an increase in school security and immediate on site response ability to protect the children.
