RIght, these politicians try to do some good by putting gun control in place so it's harder for some nut who chose a Chicago typewriter over a therapy session, and what reward do they get? A recall. Thanks for your public service and you didn't commit any crime but we're sticking it to you for trying to keep us safe. That's effin' great.

Healthcare is a service provided by another individual. It can't be a right when someone else has to provide it.

It's not the politician's job to keep me safe. I'm responsible for my own safety.

Wrong. I said a national registry would help law enforcement in solving crimes. Voting for progressive politicians who want to help people instead of Ron Pauls who wouldn't help anyone but themselves will fix our violent society.

None of my firearms can be traced. I purchased them from private individuals with no background checks, and paying in cash so there would be no records of the sale.

Not everyone can afford health care, but everyone needs it. Therefore we pool our resources so everyone can. Maybe you've never been sick but I can tell you that health services in this country are insanely expensive for one person to handle.

Yes but that could be done away with without establishing any kind of registry, that is my point.

Wrong on both counts... Gun registration would have no effect on the reduction of crime... The legislation that was passed in your state also has no effect in reducing crime.. If you can statistically prove it, I want to see it... Find a location in the US where tighter gun control has ever produces a lower crime rate.. Progressives enslave society, not liberate it..It's a fact..

It IS their job. They work in public service.

Yes, citizens should support politicians based not on whether or not they agree with them, but whether or not the politician has good intentions.
