Wrong. Most firearms on bases are locked up in the armory unless they are at the range.

While you may think nothing else would suffice, you have several million law-abiding citizens who do not share your view. What other Constitutional rights would you like to see taken away?

So - you want to KILL me because I want the right to defend my family from crazy people and criminals, and uphold the Constitution.

Ghod help our nation if this is how the anti-gun nuts feel. Clearly as we have feared, lawful firearm owners are in serious physical danger both from anti-gun zealots and our very government.

Umm… at Fort Hood, only active Military Police had loaded firearms. Don't act like Hassan was surrounded by soldiers under arms and they chose to do nothing as Hassan began killing.

You volunteering to attempt door-to-door collection yourself? Or will you send the police that you (I'm speaking of liberals in general) are calling to task for being "trigger happy" and "out of control?"

Will you be willing to go into the seedy, dangerous parts of the city populated with gang members or will you ignore them and instead try to take Joe and Jane Public's rifle and pistol from their suburban home?

Are you seriously trying to vilify the millions of gun owners who have done nothing wrong, but are attempting to enforce a little "pre crime" under that tired mantra of "if it saves just one life?" That saving one life goes both ways, but you don't care about when possession or use of a gun may have helped save a life.

pure drivel. you forget that we have a constitution in this country, and law abiding citizens have the right to keep and bear arms. we have plenty of restrictions on guns these days, so tell me what restriction would have stopped this event? the reason things like this didnt happen in years past is because the criminals that perpetrate these types of crimes didnt know that if they walked into a school if they would meet resistance. now a days they know that gun free zones means no resistance.

so again tell us what laws would have prevented this crime?

People who have the right to life, have the right to defend that life with firearms.
People who need government permission, have no rights.
Next question.

The NRA is joke, and the punchline is senseless violence.
The UK is the size of an American state. Totally different cultures and histories. You Liberal fools are obsessed with this idea of turning the US into countries smaller than some American states. Have you no common sense?

What works for the UK WILL NOT work for the US. Should we have cops with no guns like they have in the UK?

$500.00 says he's Muslim regardless of the story your hearing. Why would he ask someone if they were Christian then shot them in the head if they said yes and legs if they said no..

I call B.S. on the story.

The point is that you can't use the blueprints to a mobile home to build a skyscraper...

The whole copy-paste approach wouldn't work because America is a lot different than Australia so suggesting we do what Australia did is nonsensicle.

Also, where does the 2A fit in to your plans? What about the Right to keep and bear arms? Are you suggesting that we try and repeal it and if that fails so be it.... or are you suggesting we just ignore it because you don't like it? Dangerous precedent to set to just ignore Constitutional principles....

Id say it would be at about that time that the Second Amendment would become relevant to it's original purpose when the time comes that out government starts just ignoring and bypassing Constitutional boundaries...
