god, across the country, people think texas is a joke. anyone who attends this rally needs to go back to high school and really study the constitution. this knee jerk thinking of "obama is gonna take my guns" is weak reasoning. sensible gun laws are to save lives. folks thinking they need guns to protect themselves from the "socialist president" are just plain stupid.

@j.walter.miller Yeah, read your history and stuff -- because King George is just like Obama in that the colonists had elected representatives, three branches of government and a Bill of Rights.

@CogitoErgoSum @j.walter.miller Then you don't have any issue with the 2nd amendment and people that choose to own the firearms of their choice. Good. We agree :)

@darrylrs Drug laws, prostitution laws, speeding laws, are all to save lives, there are many others that are supercilious and don't really do a damned thing. I think these people are overreacting, but so are the gun control advocates. Freedom's a bitch, be it the freedom to abort, own a gun, do drugs, sell your body. I dare say we're better off leaving them legal, and dealing with the consequences.

3 years for running over and killing a woman! If my TDCJ math is close, he'll do about a year to 18 months before being eligible for parole. After parole he comes home, moves in with mom and takes crappy jobs for a while and...that's about it. Seems really light for what is essentially a murder. Does anybody think there would be a huge outcry for stiffer sentences for crimes such as this?

@russell.allison1 It's not a murder in any way. It's manslaughter, at worst negligent homicide. I'm not defending that d-bag. By the way, you're in the wrong thread.

Hey monsuru gaji, exactly what redeneck with an extended magazine are you talking about? The CT shooter? He used handguns. They've also finally admitted that no AR was used publicly, but the news buried it. Plus he wasn't a redneck, he was a mentally disturbed rich kid. Or does being white make him a redneck by your flawed logic? I know how we can prevent another sandy hook, lets keep firearms out of the hands of the mentally disturbed. Oh, wait that's already a law. Well damn those criminals for not obeying laws! We really need more laws to prevent people from breaking the law! That's the solution, pass more and more laws to keep people from breaking the laws we already have. You know, the laws that good ol Joe Biden says we can't enforce, so the only solution is to make even more! Seriously, you are all having so much fun tearing that pro-gun page a new one because they so dumb, but I haven't heard a single one of you make a single valid counter point. The ones who did try used media talking points with. There is a lot more to what's going on in the world then what you hear on the nightly news and what you discuss with your equally un/mis informed friends...

CogitoErgoSum

@Steve Handy You're an idiot. An AR was used, without a doubt. Pull your head out of your conspiracy theorist ass. I trust the CT state police when they say this: http://www.ctpost.com/newtownshooting/article/State-Police-All-26-Newtown-victims-shot-with-4222299.php

So...liberals can boycott a chicken fast food chain because of what the owner decides to do with his own hard earned income but people can't stand up for the right to protect themselves and their families???? You know a Colorado democrat said WOMEN should NOT be allowed to carry guns because they'll just go around shooting anyone they think might rape them and are better off defending themselves with a ball point pen? Not pepper spray, not a taser, not a knife,a pen. I wonder if he has a stance on what constitutes"legitimate rape" too.

CogitoErgoSum

@Kristen Lopez Please tell me how your rights to protect yourself and your family are being taken away. The fact is that there will still be thousands of types of guns -- rifles, handguns and shotguns -- available for sale at your local gun store, even after a possible ban. Each and every one of these firearms will propel a projectile(s) at a high enough rate of speed to cause fatal internal damage to a person. If you are not mental or a criminal, you will still be allowed to purchase these guns. Do you read anything ever about what is actually being discussed? Obviously, most of the people attending this rally are complete ignoramuses as you are.

I am a serious gun rights person, however I am avoiding this event like the plague. Its not that I worry that the government will be there making an enemies list, but rather it is going to spiral out of control.

This is basically be the Occupy movement for the Right. You will have several groups there with their own agendas using this as a forum. It will be a collection of people who hate Obama because of gun control, because he's black, because he moght me foreign, might be muslim, or might be a communist etc.

I get annoyed my anyone who spouts off regarding gun control who has no idea what they are really talking about, rather than just what they have heard. This goes for both sides of the issue.

Although not explicitly described, the 2nd Amendment gave American citizens the right to bear muskets, not automatic, semi-automatic, or any other type of firearm other than a musket.

pak152

@Myrna.Minkoff-Katzer-uh myrna could you point out to me me in the following text where it specifies muskets?
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
if you knew your history any better you would know that even at the time the 2nd amendment was written gunsmiths were trying to develop firearms capable of firing multiple rounds.

How do you think it is that we have a well regulated militia?

@ThePosterFormerlyKnownasPaul We don't. If we did, we wouldn't be having these problems.

@Myrna.Minkoff-Katz As I commented on Peirs Morgan's CNN blog when he originally made this statement, that the intent was for the private citizens to be armed at the same level as the regular armies of our enemies which at that time was the British. So as soon as the Royal Army reverts its arsenals back to muskets then be can talk about it.

observist topcommenter

@Rumpunch1 @Myrna.Minkoff-KatzSo shouldn't you be able keep and bear hand grenades, RPG's,stinger missles, etc?

pak152

@scottindallas @Rumpunch1 any one can apply to the ATF for a license to purchase and own a fully automatic firearm. but you come under some very restrictive regulations. as for owning grenades etc talk about red herrings

scottindallas topcommenter

@Rumpunch1 so, then those properly trained, vets for instance should be allowed to get them, that's your reasoning. I don't know that I have a problem with that, though I would support city laws banning such weapons in public, or even in any ready fire assembly. If you're using a grenade to defend your home, you're not worried about statutes.

@observist @Rumpunch1 @Myrna.Minkoff-Katz that's a very good question. In my opinion, actual military weapons such as these along with fully automatic weapons require a degree of training which should be reserved for professionals such as the military.

Therefore without the proper training, the risk of improper operation out weighs any benefits.

A weapon platform such a semi-auto AR-15 does not require a skill set greater than any other rifle. In fact, due to cartridge size which is less than a typical bolt action rifle, I much easier to handle.

Contrary to popular belief, fully auto weapons are not banned rather they are regulated by the National Firearms Act.

A group of people gather to put voice to their concerns about American Constitutional rights, and some citizens characterize them as lawbreakers, dangerous, possibly mentally disturbed, sexually inadequate, frightening, all-in-all not normal.

Relax, folks, you're in more personal danger just walking certain streets of your fair city, and not from these folks.
