		<description>Instead of casting a broad net over all law abiding citizens, why not ascertain what it was that makes these young shooters get into a rage, go berserk and start killing people?  

A damn good start would be for Connecticut to release the toxicology results of Adam Lanza to determine if he was on those mind altering drugs like &quot;Abilify&quot; etc that have a long list of deadly side effects.   

It is an outrage that they are making new laws that affect citizens and are not telling us the whole story.

		<description>I wonder which part of &quot;well regulated&quot; in the Second Amendment the crazies don&#039;t understand.

BTW: When Barack Hussein comes for their stockpiled gold, bottled water and canned food, it won&#039;t be with &quot;horses and bayonets&quot; but drones and tanks, against which their guns are ineffective.</description>

		<description>The Battel of Athens, GA, where armed WWII veterans and citizens ousted a corrupt sheriff who seized ballot boxes on the nigth of an election, is one example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Athens_(1946) 

Mr. Wapshott went far out of his way to smear and demonize those who oppose gun control in the article as crazed, paranoid lunatics so I think I can guess where his loyalities lie.</description>

		<description>&quot;Automatic Weapons&quot;?

The ignorance of journalists when it comes to firearms never ceases to amaze.

Along with the numerous factual errors in the article, the personal attacks on various pro-Constitution personalities was unnecessary, but what&#039;s a good hit piece without taking some cheap shots at those that disagree with your brand of advocacy &quot;journalism&quot; without them?

Along with using the term &quot;gun-nuts&quot;

Obviously, the author knows little to nothing about firearms. Trying to use reason, logic or facts with these types is useless.

I hope you never find yourself in a position where you need to defend yourself and your loved one&#039;s against a home-invasion robbery or similar - because if you do, you will be wishing for the lightest, most accurate firearm possible with as many bullets as needed to put an end to any bad intentions.

Every self-defense situation is different. There is no &quot;one size fits all&quot; gun or magazine capacity for every scenario, but it&#039;s better to have more bullets than less bullets, and to have the best firearm that you can budget, including practicing with on a regular basis and that is lightweight and modular.

The gun-grabbers are basically saying &quot;We don&#039;t want to take your guns&quot; but they just want to dictate what type of guns and their bullet capacity.

It&#039;s like saying that you&#039;re not for Prohibition of alcohol, but people should only be allowed to drink Beer, and no more than six of them on any given 24-hour period.

This incremental banning of guns and the subsequent violation of our civil rights has gone too far - you gun grabbers are not going to take any more of our rights and any politician that attempts to do so will be mercilessly booted out of office.

Got it?

But keep wasting time with your biased, advocacy journalism in an attempt to turn public opinion. Keep dancing in the blood and on the graves of crime victims.
It only shows your true, despicable colors.</description>

		<description>I guess position determines perspective on this issue.  I personally have no desire to own or play with an assault rife.  Non whatsoever.  To me they are not even fun.  they are loud, obtrusive and more than a little unnerving to hear going off.  But i also don&#039;t worry about myself being off the wall crazy and doing something reactionary and destructive to good people.  Sure, I have my self protection hand gun. Sure I purchased it legally and went through the training to handle it.  Sure i also applied for a license to carry/conceal and went through that background check too.  I certainly don&#039;t feel infringed upon at all.  Thank you for checking me out and trusting my ability to handly myself and my personal protection piece.
To any of you freaks and nut cases out there hell bent on fighting stronger background checks and cross system flaggings for mental cases, shame on you.  Why would you ever want there to be an easy way to get a gun into the wrong person&#039;s hands?  Why would you not want everyone who purchases a gun from a retail sale site to have that simple check done on them?</description>

		<description>Guns help to insure liberty by there existence. If you don&#039;t thing the Government is afraid of an armed populace you are wrong. If you don&#039;t understand that a government that is afraid of it&#039;s people is the kindest and least abusive government than please study history.</description>

		<description>I am rather taken aback about President George H. W. Bush denouncing his membership in the NRA. I can not ignor that the NRA types spend so much time attacking the elected black President of The United States of America. After all it was President reagan that fostered the Brady Gun Bill. An attack on the second admendment. And it was President G. W. Bush that arthored the Patriot Act. An attack on the privacy of all American citizens. I have thouroughly enjoyed reading all the educated comments here. I am one that also dont hunt nor store massive ammounts of military assault weapons. An honorable veteral of 3 wars and comfortably retired. A lifetime democrat. My comment is the NRA is sick in its demand that loosenuts should be able to purchase guns at gun shows with no background checks. I have no idea what country they came from, but the NRA needs to be also exposed and remedy for them should be forthcomming. Not one American votes for NRA. Its a special interest group. Ans a lobbiest in my government. I dare say they should not be afforded 1 more minute than  I am  afforded in the offices of my government.</description>
