    Determining if someone is a convicted felon isn't "just cause"?

    So when is the king gonna show up and allow me to exercise my second amendment rights? It's been a few centuries now...

    If you bought your gun from a dealer, he had to fill out a form with your name, address and social security on it, along with the serial number on the gun and call it in before selling it to you. If you had any type of record, he wouldn't be allowed to sell it to you.

    The police did nothing because they couldn't do anything under current law.

    Again, thanks for making my argument for me.

    Actually they can. They were told he was a danger to himself and others. That is probable cause. They had every right to come bearing a warrant and could have easily searched the home. Elliot himself said that when they showed up he thought it was over. A simple search would have turned up the guns ammo and all his writings.

    I have quoted this from CNN to you before you must have forgotten ;)

    Jeff, I agree with you, except the majority of mass shootings have been perpetrated by people that would pass background checks.

    that is true, the only reason some on the left even have their foot in the door is cause republicans wanted to open it for them by allowing background checks on people they thought did not have a right to own a gun... some on both sides just don't get it, arrest people for committing a crime with a gun, not just for owning a gun

    Yeah Mr. Obama. Take them all away. The cowards of the world who are only brave behind an iron curtain of bullets might finally have to deal with people unarmed.

    If it come to that, I prefer the government to any current alternative, including you.

    You'd need about 20 stories or so identical to this one to match one Sandy Hook, wouldn't you?

    If the government chose to, they would know when you take a crap. Finding out about your weapons collections really wouldn't be much of a problem. Besides, what makes you think your popguns are a match for a truly rogue government?

    The paranoia from the right always comes to the fore when we talk about the government coming after their weapons. Humorous actually. And VERY predictable. I'm surprised I haven't seen the "cold, dead fingers" thing yet.

    OP- bottom line: Show us where Obama has introduced legislation to take your guns. Can't do it? Guess what? It's not happening!

    I'm waiting. Where has Obama introduced legislation to take your guns away?

    I'm a huge second amendment guy. But I will tell you this right now- certain people should not be allowed to own guns. Regulations are there for a reason. I am very for regulations in this respect. If you want to own a gun, you should at least have to pass a hunter's safety course, which I did years ago.

    Come on, do we really want people who can't even identify a safety switch owning guns?

    It's called education and responsibility.

    So?

    Do you people always repeat verbatim the talking points e-mailed to you, without exercising the least little bit of thought?

    That propaganda peice has already been refuted.

    What's the reality?

    That the United States is at the end of a twenty year decline of violence, OF ALL KINDS, INCLUDING FIREARMS. That's so awful.

    Lying About School Shootings

    Oops.

    There's another thing in common.

    A criminal.

    Why haven't you people tried controlling criminals. Normal people would have figured by now that since controlling guns is a miserable failure, that something else should be controlled instead.

    Naturally, normal people don't blame inanimate objects in the first place.

    Since the President can't introduce legislation, your point is moot. He has a pen and a phone though, which is good enough for liberals to usurp the Constitution.

    And so is yours. Obama has ever once said your guns should be taken.

    Show me where that has happened.

    Oh Ooops! You can't.

    No, because in order to make that determination, a law-abiding individual must have their rights delayed, and a right delayed, is a right denied. It also begs the question of why, if this person is still a threat to society, they have been released from prison in the first place.

    Who said we should have lifetime sentences for all crimes? I sure didn't. What I did say was why would you release a person who is not rehabilitated? Seems you cannot answer my question.
