I don't like that people get behind the wheel of a car after doing drugs...should I demand that YOU "do something about it" because you own a car? Seriously, why can't car owners DO something about those who kill others with their vehicles? Why aren't they marching in to police HQ and devising a plan with the cops to put an end to deadly accidents on the roads by those who are operating their cars illegally?
Talk about a blowhard, Bob.

I will answer "Haakon's post above, then your's.
I am not a liberal, far from it, and I DON'T WANT YOUR GUNS TAKEN FROM YOU.
What I want is people who are accustomed to handling guns take the time to get involved with others who are trying to find ways to curb the rash of gun violence.
Your experience with guns could be a valuable asset in determining the best course of action in dealing with gun violence.
It has to be an education process.
I have to admit, I do not know the first thing about guns, and I suspect there are many like me.
All I know is what I see happening here in Los Angeles.
Today before noontime, there were four shootings here.
This is becoming a daily thing.
Now, why should gun people get involved in this issue?
The answer is as plain as the nose on your face.
It is spelled, Hillary Clinton.
I believe if she becomes president (God forbid), the first people she is going to target are gun owners, not people who drive cars, and get into accidents, gun owners.
She has already stated that is on her agenda her first 100 days in office.
She didn't say the words "gun owners", but "we must limit the use of harmful weapons in this country".
That is a big red flag for gun owners.
I would say at this point, you people have a choice.
Do all you can to publicize you as gun owners want to do something to curb gun violence.
Even if the results are not forthcoming, the public will know you are involved.
Your second choice is to do nothing, and watch your rights go down the drain.
It won't happen overnight, but little by little the Clinton administration will fight you at every step, and by executive order, she will make it a lot more difficult not only to purchase weapons, but obtain the amo to use them effectively.
This lying turd stood up the other day and said, "I want to protect the 2nd amendment", obviously forgetting her earlier comments stating in her first 100 days she would take on the gun issue.
Be complacent if you want, it's not my position to dictate to any one.
I am just telling gun owners what lies ahead, and to be prepared for it.
Should Clinton be successful in her effort to limit gun sales, and amo sales, it would be best if you had the general public on your side listening to your side of the issue.
Putting yourself in the public eye by getting involved in trying to find solutions to gun violence is one way to let the public know you care, and are concerned.
I don't have a dog in the race, but I still want to get involved, and I plan on doing just that at our next community meeting first week in September.
Losing any of your rights is of main concern, and sometimes people need a little prodding to get them motivated.
That was my one reason in starting this thread.
If I were a member of the NRA, I would be on the phone tomorrow morning, asking them why they have not taken on this issue of gun violence.
