And the news out of Webster NY today (Dec 24th) has a convicted murderer who spent 18 years locked up, starting a house fire and shooting at least 4 volunteer firemen, who responded to the call, 2 volunteers dead, 4 other local residence missing as the ensuing blaze burnt multiple homes.
Probably won't get much press as this was a prohibited person (felon) who all the laws on the books couldn't keep from having a gun. Yet the liberal anti-gun politicians want to let these types run wild, armed to the teeth, while the honest citizen sits defenseless at home.
Rather than more gun control how about a law that says "any convicted felon can have his person and property search for prohibited items at any time by local law enforcement agents, all violations will result in mandatory punishments, with-out due process of law."
After all they gave up there rights the day they committed there first felony, it's not hard to go thru life and keep a clean slate.
That may get there attention.
For now. Better go watch the news. Ms. Feinstein has something up her sleeve besides her arm......
Nice...
I hadn't read it until now. I heard about it.
Interestingly, Ms. Feinstein is a Concealed Carry Permit Holder and in the past has made public statements to the effect the she'd shoot to kill and intruder in her home or anyone assalting her family....
What a flip-flopper. Typical politician.
If I read it correctly, it basically says that as owners of sporting firearms (for the most part), we have to submit to fingerprinting by local LE, photograph each firearm with serial number and submit each to some sort of taxpayer funded database that would basically record the whereabouts so when (not if, but when) all firearms are declared illegal, they (government) can come and confiscate them without much trouble.....
Great.
Does it not bother anyone that all across the news where there's a televised debate, that their always keying in on both sides to deaths? Just one time I would love to here LaPiere (or who ever) say "because the 2nd says so! This is what it says in black and white, this is what it means", hell bring out some quotes by the founding fathers "THIS IS WHAT THEY INTENDED".
Time after time, in debates, in court, in the news papers. They made their intentions crystal clear. They made it clear what the constitution meant and what it was supposed to stand for.
Is it so damned hard to say "Because it says so right here, in the very foundation of our country"? Because attacks on any part of the Constitution, that lead to weakening of the Constitution in any manner is, not only wrong, but borderline treason.
How many times has this topic been brought up in congress and brought to the supreme court to be upheld as "It means what it says"?
