They tried to out law alcohol too. Did that work?
Obama doing a great job? You've got to be kidding.
If they take away the guns, what next? knives, axes, glass bottles, bricks, or maybe they'll want to cut our hands off so we can't use our fists. Think clearly what you're asking for, cause Obama sure isn't.

Too bad he doesn't spew this rhetoric each weekend after dozens of blacks are shot in Chicago by other blacks.

gun control is hilarious.

Did they ever stop to think what would happen if guns were outlawed?

The price goes way up and a new industry is born with half the machinists in the country making unlicensed firing weapons.

There is no such thing as gun control. Even if you want it, you can't have it.

It's much too late. Gun culture and circulation is simply too deeply embedded in US culture. Embedded through the bone.

Since criminals here will always have access to guns, law-abiding citizens have to be able to fight fire with fire, if they encounter the wrong person.

Guns should have been banned long ago, but they weren't, so there's no going back now.

Simple idiotic fallacy of gun control arguments.
  • Criminals use guns to break laws. (fact)
  • So lets create more laws to stop criminals with guns (idiotic fallacy)
Case in point. It's against the law to take a gun into a church in SC. Yet a criminal did just that.

If we didn't reign in some sanity on the gun issue when 30 children died in a single massacre, we're not going to do it now. Besides, as ohhwanderlust stated, we're too far gone to do anything about it now anyway.

Mental health is the issue, not gun control.

And, BTW, we already have laws prohibiting felons from owning guns.

Heck of a lot of good that did.
