DEFINE LIBERAL

Hate is multifaceted thing!

We have killers and would be killers who walk among us. I have felt for a long time that half of the prison population should be in mental institution and not paroled to kill again.

There is no magic answer,

This country's love affair with guns is obsessive and must stop. Every day, children die accidentally because of loaded guns. I don't want to be the number 1 country in the World for death by guns. Please spare me the mention of cars, knives, hammers, etc....that is not productive to resolutions. Yes, I know criminals will still get guns, but you need to do some serious research about how tougher gun control does, in fact, reduce crimes committed by guns.

I chopped up your answer, BBH, because I tend to agree with this portion of it.

The whole reason I said that libs never let a good tragedy go to waste, is because Obama brought up having another "national conversation" in his speech about the SC shootings.

Every time, and I mean every single fucking time, that some politician mentions gun control, the gun nuts (you know, the ones that say 'over my dead body') buy a dozen or so guns to hide from the government.

I do advocate for the right to bare arms, but what I don't want to see is a bunch of hillbillies buying a bunch of guns because they think the govt is going to take their guns away.

The way I see it, is that those hillbillies that spent thousands of dollars on guns this year; are going to need that money next year, and therefor sell those guns to the first schmuck that offers them cash....

And then where are we going to be? Still talking about gun control, but a whole new audience is going to have guns. We can't control private sales (well, at least in my state we can't). I could take my .357 sig and sell it to the first person that offers me money-via private sale-and I don't have to worry about doing a background check on the dude. I hand him the revolver, and he hands me cash, we both go our separate ways, because New Hampshire has no law requiring a background check on private sales.

I don't know about any other states, but I know NH laws backward and forwards, and I can tell you with certainty that if I sell a gun to Joe schmo, and he uses it to commit a crime-I'm not legally liable.

So, what's to be done? You can try to ban guns altogether, but I doubt that's ever going to happen, or you can stop using the words "gun control". The words "gun control' is what spikes sales in this state.

My nephew works for Sig sauer in Epping, and guess what? Since Obama mentioned "Gun control' in his speech, my nephew is now on mandatory overtime.
One mention in the president's speech has already sparked a soar in sales. Go figure...
