“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest. Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time. So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time. My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal.”
Cause now you see your chance, now you see how you can soon fulfill your dream of actually USING that basement full of death you've spent your retirement and kid's college on. Where else in the entire world do we see a nation where literally everyone is not only let but encouraged to have weapons which allow a 6 year old to slaughter hundreds on a whim? Where indeed but one where mass murderers have their own lobby and buy and sell the highest offices in the land as if they were all occupied by rank whores instead of dedicated public servants?
Where has that happened or you just making stuff up? What the trial attorneys? No one else has a lobby that supports mass murders.
Fine. Arrest them all and life in prison. But double your taxes to pay for it. Prison is massively expensive
The crimes committed by the majority of released criminals, have in all cases, greatly exceeded their cost of incarceration for life.
False. Prove it The GOP has complete control over several states. Why haven't they cleaned this up yet?
Whoever is in control, laws that are on the books are enforced. Sentencing laws, parole procedures, etc, etc. Those laws don't get rewritten every time power changes hands. Stop spewing garbage.
The GOP is in charge in those states sometimes for a decade or longer. Face it....it is on them. Prison costs too much
Nonsense. There may be a few who would like to see a country-wide ban on guns, but they are far and few between.
A few years back in Washington state a man war released from prison after serving a term for rape. At some point in his first week after release he went to the home of that rape victim who's testimony had help convict him. He killed her, her young daughter and her friend who happened to be visiting. How much would it have been worth to have kept him in prison? Prove me wrong! You always seem to suggest that if additional gun control would save a few lives it would be worth the inconvenience to honest gun owners. I would now suggest that keeping bad guys in prison or executing them would be worth the few lives saved. I am guessing you don't agree with the idea?
Yes, efforts to resist outright tyranny have been successful so far, mostly because people like me do worry about it. If there wasn't vocal and strenuous opposition to the gun control agenda of urban elites, gun rights in America would be in serious jeopardy. Any person who claims to care about protecting this unique legal right ought to be worried about any serious attempt to erode it.
Tyranny, please. You worry about it because you like worrying about it. I'm a lifetime member of the NRA. I've called my congressperson and complained about excessive gun laws. I fought against communism. You just like talking about it on the www, IMO, because it's a trend. You think that's what you're supposed to do. But the fact is, I like my guns as much as you like yours I just don't go around talking about it all the time.
I am fine with keeping these guys in prison forever.....as long as you are willing to pay for it. I think you would have to start paying taxes.....is that ok?
I know many people on the left. They don't want to be controlled by the government, they just want to reduce violence. We can debate over whether their methods are correct, but you have no evidence for your conspiracy theory.
I have no problem with the death penalty. But the standard must be to a virtual certainty. We have released too many innocent people from death row to do less.
