When is Obama going to start banning guns like the NRA told me he would?

admin — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 23:41:07 +0000

During the 2008 campaign, I received numerous letters and emails from the NRA stating that Obama had the following 10 point plan -

1.) Ban use of firearms for home defense
2.) Pass Federal laws eliminating your Right-to-Carry
3.) Ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns
4.) Close down 90% of the gun shops in America
5.) Ban rifle ammunition commonly used for hunting and sport shooting
6.) Increase federal taxed on guns and ammunition by 500 percent
7.) Restore voting rights for five million criminals including those who have been convicted of using a gun to commit a violent crime
8.) Expand the Clinton semi-auto ban to include millions more firearms
9.) Mandate a government issued license to purchase a firearm
10.) Appoint judges to the U.S. Supreme Court and Federal judiciary who share his views on the Second Amendment

I’m sure many of you remember receiving the same letter. His first term is over halfway done now, when will he begin to enact these laws?

Surely the NRA couldn’t have misled me in attempt to scare people into voting Republican, could they?

Why Support Gun Control Knowing The Results?

admin — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 21:25:38 +0000

When gun control got stricter, on the state and Federal levels, the murder rate climbed, and stayed up over 9 per 100,000, often going over 10 per 100,000. As gun control was made less strict on the state and Federal levels, starting with the Gun Owners’ Protection Act and the Florida Concealed Carry law, the murder rate has dropped to 5 per 100,000, making it quite obvious that GUN CONTROL KILLS.

So why do the blood thirsty people want to pass laws which have been proven to cost lives?

Pre-gun control in the UK saw rates of .2 per 100,000, and each gun control law was accompanied by an increase in the murder rate.

Why are there people who support laws originally passed to protect the KKK murderers, (forming the very foundation of Jim Crow laws), and which even now cost lives?
New York City has the oldest gun control law on the books, the Sullivan Act, from 1911. The Sullivan Act was passed so that the criminals being run by Tammany Hall political/crime boss Big Tim Sullivan could make crime safer for HIS criminals.

As for a 1911 law causing a decrease in crime, it went up to almost 15 per 100,000, then started dropping almost 80 years after guncontrol was imposed. The New York city murder rate started dropping in 1995, and the stricter amendments to the NYC Sullivan Act were passed in 1998-causing the murder rate to quit dropping for three years.

In 1995, better policing methods were introduced, putting the focus on the criminal instead of the gun.
Tyler, you need to get more current data than 1994.

curio and relic license question?

admin — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 06:30:53 +0000

I just got the application to get this license. if i am only going to sell to(or buy) for family and friends that have the right to own a gun (no criminals,) will this permit allow it? the main reason i want one is to buy old war rifles and ammo for them cheap for myself, but i have others i know that have old rifles that would love to get ammo for them cheap. any input would be great…. also, for an FFL, would i have to sell them to others, like buy guns and sell them to those that can legally own them in order to have one? i would love to just get them online for myself, but i’m not sure if that is allowed.

Who out there in Answer-land would like to see stricter gun laws?

I personally feel that keeping guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens will only encourage the scum among us to be more brazen. Remember folks, criminals aren’t going to hand over their weapons just because Congress writes a law saying that we all have to. Doesn’t it make more sense for us to keep our guns so we can protect ourselves from predators?

Will criminals soon be the only ones who can purchase a fire arm?

admin — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 12:04:18 +0000

For years lawmakers have defeated bills requiring vendors at gun shows to conduct background checks of would-be buyers. yet such legislation squeaked by the senate courts of justice committee by an 8 t0 7 vote this week and is poised for a vote in the full senate. Politicians are trying to restrict the average citizens ability to purchase firearms and if successful only criminals will be able to purchase firearms when they choose to without being subject to any kind of check. Currently only licensed gun dealers are required to conduct these checks but if this legislation passes even unlicensed vendors will be required to without the resources to do so, this would effectively end gun shows and sales for any unlicensed vendors. Criminals buy there firearms out of the trunk of other criminals cars so this legislation will not prevent anyone from purchasing a firearm except law abiding citizens. how can these politicians be stopped?
Ihave an illinois FOID card and have already underwent a very stringent background check but if this legislation passes i will be subject to a check anytime i make a purchase.

How do you feel about gun control?

admin — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 11:41:20 +0000

My definition of gun control is using both hands and hitting you target. Personally we don’t need any more gun control, we need idiot control. Any firearm in all of their history NEVER killed one single person or animal, the person holding the weapon and squeezing the trigger did. If you want to argue that guns kill ppl, do this, load a gun and place it on your table, it WON’T do anything but sit there. So how do you feel about gun/firearm control? I say there needs to be a lift on the types of weapons one can own and no restrictions like needing a class 3 federal license to own a fully automatic rifle.
Thanks to all that actually answered and understood what I was saying and had a IQ above a 50 as Lone Wolf said, sadly I can only pick one as best answer, I feel that all of the answer are best answers except that Libarya person, who obviously has many issues.
@Libraya, I am a former Correctional Officer, if you don’t know what that is, that’s a person that works in a prison also know as Prison Gaurds, as a C/O I had to unfortunately protect murders that used firearms and other tools like knives, I’d rather those criminals receive the death penalty instead of waste tax payer money to keep them alive.

We need a lawyer who deals with federal gun laws ASAP?

admin — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 09:28:35 +0000

We have had out civil rights violated and need help. We have been good law abiding citizens and all of a sudden we criminals because we sold hunting riffles and did it the way we were told to do it. The ATF told us you can’t sell any firearm without consulting them first, which is unheard of since they sell them in the newspapers all the time and all you’re supposed to do is copy their ID. The average citizen cannot do a background check and 3 gun dealers have explained to us that it was all legal. How can we get help with this?

Group A: People who go to licensed dealers and gun show and purchase their firearms where they are registered with the federal authorities. They obtain permits to carry concealed firearms after hours of safety training and hundreds of rounds of practice fire and after intense scrutiny into their criminal record. They spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars on high end firearms and ammunition that is held to the highest level of quality and safety control. They spend hundreds of hours and countless rounds of ammunition a year at the range. Some are former law enforcement and military personnel. They are some of the safest firearms operators on the planet. They purchase their weapons for hunting, sport, to exercise their God given right, and to assure the safety and well being of themselves, their loved ones, and their property. What they DO NOT do is perform drive-bys, knock off Seven-Elevens, mug people, and commit murder. For that matter they don’t commit hardly any type of crime because they have to maintain their permits to CCW.

Group B: People who commit murder, perform drive-bys, knock off Seven-Elevens, mug people, and generally have little to no regard for the law. What they DO NOT do is purchase their guns from licensed vendors or register them with law enforcement. They do not purchase high end equipment and ammunition from reputable dealers. They do not obtain legal permits to carry concealed weapons. They do not go through training in weapons use and safety. They do not go through any kind of screening process to weed out criminals (because that’s what they are). They purchase their fireams for any one of the aforementioned reasons

You still with me?

Now, using gun grabber logic, you can stop and prevent Group B from committing all the terrible things they do by taking guns away from Group A.

If you disagree, then please enlighten me.

Do you support Bill Hr45 as Introduced in House: Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009?

admin — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 09:14:54 +0000

Obama’s Congress is now starting on the firearms confiscation bill. If it passes, gun owners will become criminals if you don’t fully comply.
Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm – any rifle with a clip or ANY pistol unless:

-It is registered -You are fingerprinted -You supply a current Driver’s License -You supply your Social Security # -You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their choosing -Each update – change of ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs – Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail. -There is a child provision clause on page 16 section 305 stating a child-access provision. Gun must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18. -They would have the right to come into (your home anytime) and inspect that you are storing your gun safely.
