So what do you propose to do that hasn't already been implemented to prevent bad people from accessing guns?

MSgt Stephen Council - you called me a "Harsh man'" presumably in regards to my first posting. Right? If correct, that is my response. Life is a certifiable Bitch!!!

SCPO (Join to see) - I said your comment was harsh, man. It just seems that you are attacking personally. Your opinions are as valid as anyone else's. Just trying to get some context.

MSgt Stephen Council - Check your post to me. See what the absence of proper punctuation causes!?! Who was attacking whom???

Your attempt at humor aside that's actually a terrible plan. We want MORE Democrats and liberals to become gun owners and enthusiasts not less. As it is most are ignorant of guns which allows those who would like to increase gun control to mislead and confuse them about guns, you see it all the time when they talk about so-called "assault weapons" or mention that a criminal shooter used an "automatic" weapon when they used a semi-auto.

I am a fan of some of the cop shows on TV. In cases where a firearm is recovered, say a vehicle stop, and the serial is run, surprise, 90% of the time the firearm is stolen. Since felons and certain others (some of which I strongly disagree with) are prohibited from own AND/OR possessing any type firearm they obviously are unable to walk into Granny's Gun Store and purchase something, the only avenue open is to either steal one or buy one on the street. Go figure, criminals committing crimes!

Having lived in Britain for some time (and having an English wife), there is no gun-ban in Britain. It was a buy-back. A buy back that is still on going. You can still purchase guns in the UK. In fact, just two years ago a new gun range opened up across the street from mother and father in law's apartment. So the UK does not have a gun ban. There are tons o' restrictions, but not a ban.

Can't help but chuckle on that one. One of California's biggest anti-gunner politicians is Diane Feinstein. She holds a CCW and carries on a regular basis. Good enough for her but not for the rest of us pions.

A lot of gun control countries have leaders with armed security. Check out Germany and Australia. Yet in Switzerland where you are required to own a weapon they have a very low crime rate. Or how about if you take out the US major cities, our murder rate would drop significantly.

I despise Feinstein but I have to correct you on something. When Feinstein first announced she had a CCW, she received a lot of hate and backlash from the anti-gunners. So to prove a point, she got rid of her CCW. However, she hired personal security with guns and a few years ago, California passed a bill allowing House and Senate leaders to carry a gun without CCW requirements. They, of course, exempted themselves from having to follow any laws.
