    You really can't help but put out this political faction bullshit, can you? Righties...FC, take your right thumb and shove it up your ass. Which way is the wind blowing?

    Then again, that goes for all of you codgers using this 'libtard,' 'wingnut,' 'liberal,' 'righty' crap. Orwell and the Willie Lynch Letters manifest in the unwashed masses. Hitler would blush.

    There are plenty of laws already in USC for background checks and determination of risk factors relevant to drafting a court order to seize weapons. Doesn't work.

    Laws don't keep drugs and killings out of maximum security prisons, and yet somehow they'll keep them out of the general population. How's the Kool Aid?

    Just saw on the news that two seventh graders have been suspended from school for playing with toy guns in their own yard. Completely outside of any school rules jurisdiction.

    Apart from being utterly absurd IMO this is just part of the liberal scheme to make
    the masses scared to death of anything gun.

  3. And yet background check laws and confiscation of firearms when used in a crime could have prevented this recent tragedy.

    Gun nut righties can't figure this out and it's all about hyperbolic fear and paranoia for them. Although Leap is in a class by himself.

    The Navy yard shooter passed a background check just months before the shooting and purchased the shotgun well after his other gun related incidents. You got anything other than looney leftist talking points?

    I have yet to receive a reasonable response regarding the historical fact below that disproves every single promise the left can make regarding registration. As I've said before, I'm ok with background checks, and giving the background checkers access to mental health records, but I'm dead set against registration. The following link and fact, once again, is a reason why. Political promises are made to be broken by successive politicians, or in the case of most, those who make the damn promises to start with.

    http://www.guncite.com/gun_control_registration.html

    "Even in the United States, registration has been used to outlaw and confiscate firearms. In New York City, a registration system enacted in 1967 for long guns, was used in the early 1990s to confiscate lawfully owned semiautomatic rifles and shotguns. (Same source as previous paragraph) The New York City Council banned firearms that had been classified by the city as "assault weapons." This was done despite the testimony of Police Commissioner Lee Brown that no registered "assault weapon" had been used in a violent crime in the city. The 2,340 New Yorkers who had registered their firearms were notified that these firearms had to be surrendered, rendered inoperable, or taken out of the city."

    Funny you post that. I just enrolled my Son in a private school. He said he was tired of the "dumb teachers," and wants to graduate sooner. He knows algorithms, gaming stuff, and makes mostly A's. I think this has been one of the better things I've done recently even though it costs $ to do this. With public schools pulling the shit that they are, my investment is baby shit IMO.

    As far as the kids in THEIR yard, I'd be appalled at the fact that free citizens on THEIR property (children, no less!), were punished for being boys, but I've realized we've lost the common sense America due to big OUT OF CONTROL, TYRANNICAL gubment, and mentally ill liberalism making all the news/headlines vs old school common sense. WE the Patriots are the ones who I hold responsible for ALLOWING this shit to go on...
