    Of course the anti-gunners know it won't work. Preventing murders has nothing to do with gun registration. It's all about disarming the people, so they can more easily force their agenda upon us.

    it also is a means of pandering to stupid people and to allow those who have a soft spot for violent criminals to pretend they are doing sometime about crime without actually harming criminals. Criminals are exempt from being punished for defying registration requirements due to the fourth amendment. So registration has nothing to do with impacting felons

    I think they actually managed to convince people that the reason people murder one another is because they have access to purchase and own fire arms. I think a lot of people that believe this sort of thing are really quite ignorant on the whole subject not saying that that's a bad thing it's just they don't know that much about it and as such tend to get taken in by some of this.

    Do other things like what? Enforce the laws against violent crimes and take offenders off the street? The Leftists don't want to do that, though. They just want to ban and confiscate guns.

    If you can prove FNC was dishonest in it's presentation of this story go for it. Otherwise, stop the crybaby crap.

    I know a few folks who refuse to touch guns because they say they fear they won't be able to stop themselves from using them to kill someone in a fit of rage.

    I suspect there's more than a few gun banners who believe similarly, and think this is normal, and that everyone else similarly lacks the sort of self control that prevents them from murdering people when they're really angry... And I applaud their mechanism of avoiding hurting people by abstaining themselves from deadly weapons. But its NOT normal. They need help. They don't need to be managing the rest of us who ARE in control of our emotional responses.

    did you ever ask them why they haven't stabbed a whole bunch of people and ran them over with a car that's really bizarre I would be quite intrigued if someone said that to me.

    I used to teach shooting mostly to youth and I would come across a youth that didn't want to be around guns and I understood. Never really prompted any deeper than that.
    yeah I'm going to have to agree with you if you're just one trigger pull away from being a homicide of maniac then you're not right you literally are a homicidal maniac that just hadn't acted on it yet but like I mentioned about there's other avenues to commit Mass homicide that doesn't involve guns so I think the people that are saying this are got really being honest with themselves.
    Again I don't think it's honest like I said I've never heard anyone say that but I don't doubt that somebody has before and I'd love someone to say this to me because I would ask them questions I posted here.

    False. Registration only ever being about confiscation predates all televised news.

    It's simple logic.

    If I was going to commit a crime with a gun I probably wouldn't register it. In fact the only people that would probably aren't going to be the once committing the crimes with them so the only purposes is to know whose door to kick in when you want to take them away.

    the leftist mindset of many gun banners is one of a lack of personal responsibility or restraint. Many of them want laws to deal with their own inadequacies so they outsource both duties and freedoms to a government so they don't have to fail in meeting obligations or misusing freedom

    If gun control works, like you keep telling us, why do you need to to "other things"?
