But they are being led to believe that there are no checks on purchasers of guns and that it's a free for all out there. Have to go to the extreme here to get backing.
If there are no checks at gun shows and private sales, it pretty much is a free for all, because you can walk an elephant through the loopholes.
Yo .... I didn't call her a retard. It's very sad to see someone who has been rendered permanently disabled be used as a tool for a Statist agenda. And it is exactly that reason, the Left using a disabled person to further an agenda hoping to evoke sympathy and emotion, that made it laughable.
I think calling Gabby "a retard" is offensive. However, I find using her as a tool to try and undermine our 2nd Amendment and MSNBC's editing of the tape of the Sandy Hook father's testimony to look like 2nd Amendment supporters were "hateful hecklers" ............. pathetic.
You said you laughed at her difficulties to speak.
You say she is being "used". Gabby Giffords dedicated her life to serve the nation, and she served in Congress, so it is not like someone has to drag her back to Congress and "use" her to push their agenda. She is basically continuing her service, and came because she wanted to. She, as a victim of senseless gun crime, should be ALLOWED to speak in a discussion such as this.
Yes, but his job it to take the extreme stance on the issue, so he is expected to oppose everything. I think in the end the background checks will pass, and nothing else will, and I think most people will be happy.
I just saw the movie Lawless, and I can't help but notice how much LaPierre looks like the Chicago gangster in that movie.
This is what I can't understand. Why must every stance be extreme? Is there no room for moderation anymore?
It's leftist ignorance like the bolded part above that get thrown around and is told as the "truth" when this is not even close to the truth....but again, if it's said enough, it has to be true...right....
There are currently back ground checks done....what he does not agree with is the extended back gorund check, did ya here that....that is the truth....sorry facts are not your friend...
WHATEVER. YOU are the one not dealing with the facts! For example, background checks are not being done the way they should. Also, why should we track mentally ill people but NOT gun owners?! It makes no sense. We track people who drive, people who own cars, people who own homes, but not guns.
Lobbyists do NOT represent the people. They represent the interests of those who fund them.
If you want to find out the agenda of a lobbyists follow the money in their coffers.
Don't you realize that yet ?
Cut it out with the lobbyist crap will you please. Your bologna is way the heck off topic. If you keep it up, I'll ask that thread be locked again like the last one on this stupid subject.

Maybe so. But, if someone who did not know her and what had happened to her, spoke to her, and watched her walk, one would almost be sure she'd had a severe stroke.
Mark Kirk, has had extensive therapy and three brain surgeries, and walks, and talks nearly like she does.
I would have to say, that only doctors, therapists or anyone who knew her before, really know how this life changing event affected her.

Even with part of her brain shot away she has more wits and wisdom than Wayne Lapierre has in his head!

If LaPierre doesn't want extensive background checks but he wants to restrict mentally incompetent people to get access to guns, how does he hope to accomplish that without background checks. There is no question that mentally deranged people are currently getting access, so what is his solution, do nothing?
