In the wake of President Obama’s call for more gun control, more background checks, and threats that he is not done with trying to take guns away from law abiding citizens, it is clear that the public vociferously disagrees with him. That is easily seen by the large uptick in gun purchases, fueled by the fear of confiscation by the administration, and by the terrorist incidents that people have seen recently both in the U.S. and abroad.
In addition, there are numerous examples of ordinary citizens having guns in their homes for self protection that led to a more preferred outcome when the need arose. Home invasions have been thwarted by well-trained moms or even kids who were able to defend themselves when a call to the police would have been far to late to do anything but mark a crime scene. And that does not begin to count the thousands or tens of thousands of times that simply brandishing a weapon scared the perpetrator away.
It now seems that even police officers are beginning to get the idea that an armed citizenry can be very important in the battle against crime.
More guns, more safety, page 2:
My personal feelings aside, I respect the second amendment, by law, you have a right to own a gun. But I support tougher background checks also. The idea that someone could go to a gun show and buy assault weapons with nobody checking to see if you have terrorist ties is stupidity. If you ARE a responsible gun owner and have nothing to hide, what have you got to fear. Oh, I keep forgetting. You conservatives are afraid of everything.
No, you’re sending a message that you are a scared shitless little imasculated dork that ends up driving up the cost of ammunition for all of us that just like to shoot once in a while over a bunch of bs fear mongering. How’s it feel to be afraid of everything? Try voting for a candidate you like instead. You idiots don’t deserve to be Americans.
Wow everybody Jeff told us he’s the only American on the whole page yeah were the ones driving at the prices of ammo are you really that fucking stupid i’ll buy all the ammo I want and all the guns I want what are you going to do about it
And of course Jeff said we do not deserve to be Americans I’m sure glad he’s the authority on that what an idiot
Just one more point. How often do you carry your gun on an airplane. That answer should be never. Because a bunch of very smart people sat down and realized no guns on a plane, will always be safer for everyone on board, then every body armed on the plane. I don’t care if they have to put metal detectors in every building in America. I don’t want to get shot sitting at Applebee’s because some dumbass drops his weapon out reaching for his wallet.

Then you have the brilliant responsible gun owners that thought it was a great idea to put a machine gun in the hands of their kid at the shooting range. Result was one horribly traumatized kid, and a dead range instructor.
Why didn’t you defend the constitution & invade DC?
Cops are now the enemy as well.
The military has no LE authority to arrest anyone.
I know several police officers and every one of them will tell you that if you can legally carry a firearm by all means do it.
