If it were as easy as that, the major cities with the most stringent gun laws would be the least violent places.

Everything is political with Barry....he will NEVER make a statement that could remotely "offend" his base.
Obamacare was Obama's idea of logic. He uses theoretical logic as a template which he places over every issue. that is why he declares victory whether it be the middle east, the economy, healthcare or solyndra.

Obama is not of this earth, a muslim wannabe and media created hologram, common sense escapes him becaue he exists only in theory.

Arguing otherwise just indicates you have no idea whats been discussed.

That said-I'm against anything that interferes with the second amendment. Even common sense gun laws.
This is "common sense".

Caught with an illegally owned hand gun....5 years minimum, no parole.

Use a hand gun in a crime, even without pulling it out...10 years minimum, no parole.

Brandish a hand gun during a crime...15 years minimum, no parole.

Fire a hand gun while committing another crime....20 years minimum, no parole.

Wound or kill someone with a hand gun during a crime....life in prison, no parole.

Every sentence will be served with hard labor.

BTW...people with documented mental illnesses cannot legally own a firearm, neither can convicted felons.

By your own standard, you are making just as flawed an argument as Barack Obama is.
Please explain.

The leftie anti-gun crowd are the ones who keep putting people at risk with their "gun free zones".

It's a fact, so yes....I believe it. Good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns. It has been proven in every single mass shooting.

Take the 7 major ghetto gang banger cities out of the equation and we're one of the safest countries in the world. Fact.

That's simply not true. Turn off the Michael moore propaganda.

Common sense is a made up term. It used to be common sense to think witches existed but that was never true. Common sense is nonsense, usually just someone trying to get others to agree with them. But **** that.

Yeah, Obama's recent statements about gun control are knee jerk reactions. Much of our political system is just that anymore. What do you think Kate's law was? It was an emotionally driven attempt to feel we did something, while doing absolutely nothing to address the real problem because we don't have the stones to tackle it head on.

I'm neither pro gun nor anti-gun. I get why the founding fathers believed what they did about guns, but the world is a radically different place now, and I'm not just talking about guns that can fire 600 rounds a minute. I'm not saying the second amendment is outdated, but you'd be an idiot to suggest it's not dated. No, I don't think banning guns is going to resolve our problems, but I also don't live in some magical world where everyone having the power to hide a machine gun in the pants is going to keep everyone safe.

I'll say this, if common sense did exist, the usual action taken by either side wouldn't be it. Because they never want to do what needs to be done.

What is considered an Armory?

I collect guns like Leno collects cars like some people collect art.

Leave my collection alone.

Then when Americans said, hey wait a minute, why are we allowing this disgraceful thing to happen to our country and our children, they ducked behind a 2nd amendment that NEVER was intended for the purposes they say and the crazy began. No one gave a thought to arming themselves in the 60s, 70,s 80s then profiteering entered the picture and now we have mess of dead bodies scattered on everyone's doorsteps, disgusting and unnecessary.
^^^ This.
