also... bullshit... I was pulled over some years back for speeding and got arrested for possession of alcohol by a minor and my unloaded rifle in my back seat... and I live in Texas... it was still considered "gun-related" and two more squad cars showed up just because of that... Even though I told the officer about it and I wasn't about to shoot a damn cop, much less with an unloaded gun...

If Lord of War was too violent for your liberal mind to watch, the US or other large country will leave the weapons of the dead or otherwise left and forgotten in the country rather than ship them back since it is cheaper to just make new ones. This leaves THOUSANDS of guns unaccounted for and end up on the black market and also in the US. This is where gang bangers get full auto and most any other guns. Once someone reports a gun has been stolen, even a corrupt police force HAS to do something.

The point is, the people shouldn't be afraid of the government, the government should be afraid of it's people... When the government takes away our ability to defend ourselves, they get an immense power over us. The same power Saddam had over Iraq and Kuwait; and the same power Hitler had over Germany, and Poland, and Belgium, and France, etc. No one man or government should have that much power, history proves it...

The laws that our government is coming out with nowadays are EXTREMELY similar to the laws that both Saddam's Iraq and Nazi Germany came out with during both Saddam's and Hitler's rises to power... Also, most illegal guns are smuggled into the US from other countries... Hell even Lord of War made this point, when the US or any other country win a war or even during "peacekeeping" missions, it's cheaper to build new guns than ship them out of country...

Thats it exactly, the good guys will obey the law while the criminals will not.If we were all armed crime would drop.

if someone has a gun on there person while commiting a crime they have the ability to use that gun and they have more likely then not the intention to use it if they felt they have to. if you have a gun and you get caught with a gun is it not gun related

how can you compare a dictatorship and a country in the middle of an attempt to take over the world to America supposed "land of the free" and all that.i would wonder how the people who sell illegal guns get them 9 times out of 10 they were probably stolen from the legal owners of the guns

When the anti-gun people are ready to give up the rest of our bill of rights, we can talk. Then we will hang em.

one could go on about this issue forever. this country was founded on personal freedoms. one at a time we lose our freedoms at the hands of self proclaimed guardians of public safety like fat Rosie. Al Sharpton made a career out of extorting money from honest business owners in the name of "racial equality". Damn right he's worried about being a target...

perhaps Rosie should be more worried about how many donuts kill people. do you think her security people carry? the bottom line is that criminals will always find guns to carry. law abiding gun owners are not the problem. if your kid finds a loaded weapon in your drawer, you are not a responsible owner. no one walks out the door hoping they will have to use a weapon today. it is a huge responsibility to carry. responsible gun owners are NOT the problem...

The million mom march is a hype joke. They have the most outrageous inflated numbers ever. I'm suprised they even still exist. Them and the missnamed "violence policy center" are outrageous. I wish i could find the letter i wrote the MMM that they published on their website it was hilarious. I wrote about the dangers of F-16 machine guns and completely off the wall crap and they published it. Total bunch of morons

Exactly the point with 'anything related'. A drunk passenger in a motor vehicle accident gets it counted as 'alcohol related accident', when alcohol played no part whatsoever in the accident itself. Statistics are often mistaken for and misrepresented as truth.

Why is Rosie O'Donnell in a "Million Mom March"? and does she really think those views are the views of the majority of America?

Uhh... yeah... about that... Saddam actually imposed strict gun control laws not all unlike what we're seeing in america today... Another example would be Nazi Germany... Extremely strict gun control laws... Look how that turned out... People still had guns but they were breaking the law in doing so... hell I'd risk going to prison to continue owning what I should be allowed to own in order to protect myself...

Nope... matter of fact they've decreased since then...

Here is how police report "gun related crime" If there is a crime and a gun is within the area whatsoever it becomes "gun related". And lets ask the question "Gun related" So basically JUST because someone had a gun they decided to commit crime? NO, the crime is rape,robbery,assault, whatever. Gun related is just as stupid as saying that a bank robbery is vehicle related because they had a get away car.

im pretty sure there are more violent gun related crimes in america then 70000

For the record iraq's are indeed allowed to own a weapon. The weapon has to be small arms defensive weapon. Ak,shotgun,pistol ect. No ordnance or offensive weapons. They are to be kept in home for self defense . Our ROE was any weapon outside the home (on the street) qualified for P.I.D or positive Identification wich meant we could shoot . A lot of this might change soon now that Iraq has been handed over more of the bases. Militiants are also allowed to carry outside of the home

How about explaining this anomaly: Iraqis under Saddam could buy all the guns and ammo they wanted. The Christian Science Monitor published a story before the U.S. invasion about how Iraq has a gun culture like America's, and how the gun shops in Baghdad had more business than they could handle because Iraqis wanted to protect themselves from looters after Saddam's government fell. Yet Saddam still allegedly managed to run a police state even though Iraqis could in principle shoot back.

Much better to have a gun and not need it, than need a gun and not have it!

Virginia tech was a gun free zone! All guns were outlawed there!  If guns would have been allowed, he wouldnt have been able to go on a rampage, because an armed citizen would have shot him. Virgina tech is the prefect example of what happens when you take away peoples right to defend their own life!

then the only issue is cost? Your idea of family training is good but to a point. If the person traning you has no training are you turely learning the right things? training is part of the responibliity of owning. Rights without action to keep the right will not keep the goverment out. being safe is part of the responibliity

It's hard to stop once it's been around for a long time. The government can't just one day be like "Alright guys, we changed our minds, guns are bad. Now if you could all hand your firearms back in, nice and orderly please." It's hard to change something that's been a part of life for so long.

Problem is the same idiots who want these strict gun laws are the same idiots who want the courts to give leniency to the thugs who use them in crimes. They want the thugs on the street, it keeps the sheep asking for more Government intervention. This is what you get from the give me, help me, save me crowd.

this is so true guns are not evil and guns are not bad. as you as you use them in postive way such as defensive to protect your home or bussiness its fine . good job. but if you put cap in sombody ass beacuse you thug oh no and i think those people should have tougher time getting out of the pen and getting guns.
