Why Did The Republicans Support Gun Control?

admin — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 06:54:54 +0000

In contrast to Democrats (most supported gun control, some opposed it), most Republicans supported the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms for every American, especially in reasonable grounds. But some Republicans supported gun control by banning guns, even for protection.

Fred Thompson is opposed to most gun control laws. Speaking of the Virginia Tech massacre, he said:

"Whenever I’ve seen one of those ‘Gun-free Zone’ signs, especially outside of a school filled with our youngest and most vulnerable citizens, I’ve always wondered exactly who these signs are directed at. Obviously, they don’t mean much to the sort of man who murdered 32 people just a few days ago."

Although his record in the Senate on guns is generally mixed. Thompson voted pro-gun 19 times and anti-gun 14 times. Additionally, Thompson voted for the Domestic Violence Offender Gun Ban, which restricts ownership and use of guns or ammunition by individuals convicted of misdemeanor or felony domestic violence.

McCain’s record on gun control is mixed. He co-sponsored the Gun Show Loophole Closing and Gun Law Enforcement Act of 2001. This act would reduce the number of gun shows, require gun-owners to purchase trigger locks, and allow federal agents to arrest those who violate federal gun laws. However, McCain has frequently voted in support of the Second Amendment, such as voting against background checks at gun shows and voting in support of prohibiting lawsuits against gun manufacturers. In August of 1999, McCain said he was open to voting for an assault weapon ban, depending on the details. However, he still voted against the Federal Assault Weapons Ban and the efforts to renew it, as well as the Brady Bill.

A top official of the National Rifle Association said McCain has been a reliable ally of gun owners despite divisions with the powerful lobbying group on some issues. NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre told The Associated Press "…We’re not foolish enough to ignore the vast areas of agreement in which John McCain has been a friend to gun owners." The Republican presidential nominee has voted against a ban on assault-type weapons with restrictions which were objected.

Liberals and Democrats: Would you compromise with Cons and Moderate GOPers…?

admin — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 14:07:56 +0000

…for a national health plan? If Cons and GOPers agreed to help bring about universal healthcare in exchange for Libs and Dems recognizing the 2nd Ammendment as an individual right and the repeal of (or modification of ) certain gun control laws, like the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 and the National Firearms Acts of 1934 and 1968, would you go along?

Read the following opening to John Stossels’s article " Myth about Gun Control" and analyze the style of language that Stossel employ’s to engage his reader’s attention . Address why that style was employed.

Guns are dangerous.But myths are dangerous too. Myths about guns are very dangerous because they lead to bad laws. And bad laws kill people. " Don’t tell me this bill will not make a difference, "President Clinton, who signed the Brady Bill into law.

Sorry. Even the federal government can’t say it has made a difference. The Centers for Disease Control did and extensive review of various types of gun control: waiting periods,registration and licensing and bans on certain firearms. It found that th idea that gun control laws have reduced violent crime is simply a myth.

What is the heck is wrong with stricter gun control laws?

admin — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 18:56:03 +0000

i get tired of seeing all these people talking about dropping gun control. that is absolutely insane. we need much stricter gun control laws that allows only the right people the opportunity to carry guns. its simple. you should go through a very strict and in depth background check, not just to see if you are a felon or not. only responsible people should carry guns, plain and simple. you shouldnt be able to walk into a gun show and buy any gun you want without a background check (like at columbine). you shouldnt be able to buy military style assault weapons. i would never advocate taking away guns, but how can anyone argue that we dont need strict gun control laws? do you think any joe smith should be able to have one? how in the world would that help? wouldnt that cause MORE gun crimes because people that normally wouldnt have access to guns all of a sudden can go to any gun store and walk away with one.

What should be the future of gun control laws in America?

admin — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 23:47:10 +0000

After yesterdays school massacre do Americans think there should be stricter gun control laws. I know that there have been many incidents like this in the US and that working class black areas have long been plagued by gun crime. I know that in the US people see it as their constitutional right to bear arms but this was written in the 1700′s and technology has made weapons much more deadly since then. Where I live in Ireland there are problems with gun crime but on nowhere near the same scale as in the US. There is a lot of violent crime involving knives and other weapons here and I know for a fact that if people here had easier access to guns that crime would instantly rocket as criminals would have access to more deadly force. What price are Americans prepared to pay for their right to bear arms as I am aware that at the time of the Vietnam war that more Americans died from guncrime at home than died in Vietnam.

LGBT: Do you think gun ownership laws in the US should be tightened?

Reading a article about a pastoor in Kentucky who told his congregation to bring gun to the church to promote safe gun use. heres the article

A pastor in the US state of Kentucky told his flock to bring handguns to church in what he said was an effort to promote safe gun ownership.
Pastor Ken Pagano told parishioners to bring their unloaded guns to New Bethel Church in Louisville for a service celebrating the right to bear arms.
He said he acted after church members voiced fears the Obama administration could tighten gun control laws. When the service began, some 200 people were present, AP news agency said.
"We are wanting to send a message that there are legal, civil, intelligent and law-abiding citizens who also own guns," Mr Pagano told the congregation.
"If it were not for a deep-seated belief in the right to bear arms, this country would not be here today," he said. Ken Pagano, pastor of New Bethel Church in Louisville, Kentucky
The pastor also held a handgun raffle, as well as providing information on gun safety.
"I wish more churches did this, I wish more people did this," the Louisville Courier-Journal quoted one attendee, Doreen Rogers, as saying.
"For some reason, most people think that carrying guns is sinful. It’s not. I think my life is worth protecting."
About 10 members of a private local militia also attended, the Courier-Journal said.
A coalition of religious groups and campaigners held a rival gun-free event at the same time on the other side of Louisville.
"The idea of wearing guns to churches or any sacred space I think many people find deeply troubling," organiser Terry Taylor told AP.
In the US, the right to bear arms is enshrined in the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.
There are thought to be more than 200 million firearms in private hands.
But some gun owners fear that the new administration in the White House could try to challenge or amend some gun ownership laws.
Critics of the laws, meanwhile, link high levels of gun crime with high levels of gun ownership.

does anyone else think gun ownership laws needs to be changed or tightened in the US, do you think the constitution needs to be changed on this matter well since it was written 300 years ago and there was no police or army which there is now?

MQ: what time do you wake up at in the morning?
