    Frankly I think that many of the gun laws are arbitrary, not well though out and poorly enforced.

    When you analyze gun laws, ask yourself, Who do these gun laws affect ?
    Do gun laws hinder criminals ?
    Who really benefits from really strict gun control ?
    Keep asking questions.

    We gave them a fair chance.....when we allowed them to talk about it. So there is no reason to give them any other fair chance.

    Criminals get most of their guns through theft or family members. Stop the theft first.

    I have observed the Black market in other Countries, and no amount of laws ever prevents people from obtaining firearms, money, bribes, favors, and firearms and licenses can be had.

    What about New York City ?
    Strict Gun control ?
    And their entire handgun license division ended up in prosecution.

    So much for gun control.

    She needs to fix that chick lean, marry her thumbs properly, and get her booger hook off the bang switch unless she's ready to fire which she ain't since she's a model posing for a picture.

    I just think she's showing off those assets a little better. BTW did you know that Obama showed a little chick lean with those pics of him shooting skeet?

    I don't believe he was actually shooting in those pics. I think it was just a photo op to try and convince people he was gun friendly.

    Target friendly, too, as there was no chance of actually damaging one.

    Yes, it has been given the chance of more than a Century, is brain dead and on full life support, and only awaits it's plug to finally be pulled.

    That firearm was stolen from a dumb sh*t federal agent who left it in his car. That's on him, not gun control.

    Said agent refused to comply with the firearm-related restrictions that were in place, that allowed for the theft of the firearm to begin with. Why has he not been prosecuted?

    Yes. The Brits tried it in 1774-1775. We revolted.

    http://www.davekopel.org/2A/LawRev/american-revolution-against-british-gun-control.html
    This Article reviews the British gun control program that precipitated the American Revolution: the 1774 import ban on firearms and gunpowder; the 1774-75 confiscations of firearms and gunpowder; and the use of violence to effectuate the confiscations. It was these events that changed a situation of political tension into a shooting war. Each of these British abuses provides insights into the scope of the modern Second Amendment....

    States with tight gun control have less deaths than states with lax gun control. What little gun control we have tried does work....if we let it work.
