I agree with you! And I certainly believe that Sandy Hood was in fact a Hoax. They created it to help take away our second amendment. They only focus on the negative things that have happened. How many people have been able to protect their families and homes from being robbed or killed with guns. I cannot even fire my pellet gun without getting in major trouble and thats in my own yard.
He is messing with our rights to protect ourselves and using the death of kids as is point.

Oh boy....it's Frank the professional Patch troll.

These bills were pre-written and were waiting for a tragedy like this to occur so that it would be expedient for the President to roll them out. No different than the Patriot Act in that regard.

It's shameful and a disgrace to the memories of those children for them to be reduced to the status of political pawns.

And statistically, more than 50% of homes in America have guns in them.

Thanks for playing though.

Yeah Frank nothing like bombing women and children out of their houses in Pakistan, Yemen.........the lost goes on.

As usual Frank is clueless.
Gun stores are swamped with orders more and more people that never had guns before are coming in to buy.

When is the Stanker ever *not* clueless?

As to Obama's big push, it's actually a racist policy. He apparently couldn't care less that blacks continue to die from gun violence at alarming rates in the inner cities. He's pandering to the suburbanites.

Dontcha think universal background checks will weed out some of those with mental health issues? Seems like solid idea to me.

HGH, not if the HIPPA laws are not changed. And not if the mental health community continues to fight the inclusion of patients into the system.
Background checks are only as good as the information entered into them.

It's a public forum, use your full name. Using part of a name or a fake name is like wearing a bag over your head.

Okay, Joe - I'll go along with that. The issue is important enough to get ALL of the relevant data before allowing a gun purchase.

[citation needed]

Obamacare is a joke and so is Obama. I feel like slowly but surely our rights are being taken away and soon we will be back to a king or worst communism.

And no Honeygo Hal, they will not, backround checks will not show Mental stablility. They have no way, if the person has never been evaluated, to show or prove that the person is mentally unstable.

Ashley, you may have a point there - so how do we address the issue of folks with mental health issues getting a gun? Throw up our hands and declare that it can't be done? Require mental health screenings as part of a background check? So many folks throw the mental health issue out there, there must be a way to identify who can own a gun and who shouldn't - yes?

Honeygo Hal, that would be wise but that would require a Psych Evaluation, which either the gun buyer or the government would have to pay for, which means we pay for it. Either way we get raised taxes because we are paying for their backrouind check to.

Hal- Maybe you should be asking our politicians why Maryland doesn't fully comply with the NICS system. VA has approximately 100k people in the NICS system denied due to mental health. Our lovely state reports 3.

Maryland is so far left it is really, really scary! I am surprised that OWE'Malley has not changed his religien from Catholic to Muslim to be more like Obama!

Ashley - In order to get your drivers license (at least for teenagers) in MD you are required to attend classroom instruction as well as behind-the-wheel instruction. Most classroom instruction costs money. So if the background check reveals no history of mental issues, perhaps a Psych screening should be required at the applicant's expense.

We are talking about the power over life & death here. I think it's worth the effort.

Frank, from WIKI

"The massacre prompted the state of Virginia to close legal loopholes that had previously allowed Cho, an individual adjudicated as mentally unsound, to purchase handguns without detection by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). It also led to passage of the first major federal gun control measure in more than 13 years. The law strengthening the NICS was signed by President George W. Bush on January 5, 2008.[12]"

The problem is that many jurisdictions are not putting the data in.

Enforce the existing laws before passing new ones.

It's a public forum, use your real photo. Using a blurred out blue hued image is like wearing a duck over your umbrella.

Dave A I think that's a great Idea.
Scot Brown. Can it.

Very true. Lib's will tell lies to try to get their way. Problem is everyone can see through those lies.

Shout much?

let me guess...your cap lock button is stuck or the battery in your hearing aid is dead? Gun rights...Remember entry on the left, exit on the right for best odds of success.

You might be reliving history right now.

It's a public forum, use your full name. Using part of a name or a fake name is like wearing a bag over your head.

"guns for all brigade"

When you start with such a false premise the rest of your comment will be taken with the legitimacy it deserves, NONE!! Show us all who supports "gun for all"!!!!

Go ahead, we'll wait.

Well Jay! Can you support your false premise or not?

Also meant to say - that when going through the FFL is when the various laws are performed - NICS background check, state mandated waiting periods, etc.

You make a good comment but you make it with the pretense that the Constitution is relevant to this Obama regime.

Full of lies. What a load of bunk.

Mature Richard. I'm sure your mom is proud.

Scot is my real name. I live at 6001 41 Ave if you'd like to discuss this matter in person.

Scot, does you neighbor still have that sweet old Mercedes in his yard? I'd make him an offer on it.

Is he still driving that Challenger daily with gas costs as high as they are?

Scot,

You got soaked paying $330K for that house.

lol. good one Dave. Scot you lose. go home.

Not smart to give out that info, Scot. There are too many nuts out there, as you can see.

Emily Miller has more credibility than you would in 25 lifetimes you flaming racist bigot Steve. Your life is worthless to the human race.

Frank. More like the people are tired of Obamas lies and inability to bring a country together. Time to take care of the economy and stop waisting time on other bull crap that will never help solve a thing. Remember 1994-2004 Frank? That was the time of the Clinton Assault weapons ban. Every study says the same thing. It did not help with gun violence at all.

You demonize those who own firearms, invest in firearms and write about them but you support the slaughter of a million children a year. How incoherent can one slime ball be?

You say Emily Miller is bought and paid for, but conveniently ignore the over one billion dollars that Mayor Bloomberg has donated to Johns Hopkins. Didn't they just host a completely one sided conference on gun control? Hmmmm

Since when do Libs care about life? Between abortions and drones the numbers are completely lopsided.

It is on video form ABC news and the racsit bigot naggers deny it took place and call it "fantasy"! Living in denial is a way of life for some who have no other life.

And yes, racsit nagger frank, i would feel unequal to 4 black thugs coming in my store to rob me. When you never leave your ward room you have no fear except form the orderlies who wipe the spittle form your chin.

TERMS OF USE
is threatening, harassing or that promotes racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual;

All you do frank the nagger is nag and harass. You are to be pitied and seen as less than a human.

Sorry Nacho, whether you know it or not, Republicans are a dying breed that does not represent the majority of Americans as evidenced by the last presidential election. The Republicans only kept the House due to gerrymandering as they lost the majority vote. It will continue to shrink as Latinos become a larger part of our society. What are you going to do?

Mama you are correct. The anti gun battle is over. Lib's are losing big and Obama is looking very hard for a way to shift the blame on Republicans. That is exactly why he called for a vote on his recommendations last night. Their is a group on Repubs and Dems that will have a new bill together in a few weeks that should make it through the senate and house with not much of a problem. It will do some good I hope. It deals with closing the loop hole on gun show background checks which is a good idea and has been something most gun owners have been saying for years as well as dealing with Mental illness background checks.
Frank,FIFA, Steve. Settle down. You all make yourselves look stupid and everyone ignores your silly comments.

Who said anything about "republicans". Even here in Maryland, one of the bluest states in the country, MOM can't be guaranteed that his onerous gun ban bill will pass. If it were truly a D/R issue, then O'Mouthy should be able to walk this through.

Why else would he have to resort to close door meta-committee meetings? Even his own Judiciary Committees are waffling on his bills, so he's having to play parliamentary games.

" .....everyone ignores your silly comments."

Except you. What a Maroon!

Ah, the Stanker two-headed hydra is rested and ready for another day of hard work. What a waste of oxygen and resources. The libbies should outlaw filth like this.

Poor frank. That all you have? Well Frank looks like you lose again. Now try to have facts to back up your dribble before you post.

Probably got that way reading the Patch...

Whites live in fear in RSA. The racist animals like to prey, eat and rob the tax paying citizens of RSA. He thought she was an intruder. You wouldn't last 1 hour in RSA. And you'd shite your panties before you ran home.

I travel to South Africa quite often for business. In fact, I am taking my wife with me next month for a vacation.

You couldn't be farther from the truth CP. When was the last time you were there?

Ah, Walter "Stank" Mitty is embarking on his fantastic voyages again. Are they chemically induced, Stanker? ROTFLMAO

I call BS. I have been there and have friends there. They live with armed guards 24/7. You're an idiot! You're credibility is shot. Go back to bed.

I think the Stanker is in Zimbabwe this morning, with a side trip to Mogadishu in the afternoon before arriving back in Dundalk. LMAO

Nope sorry CP it's obvious you haven't been there.

Who woke up BO the angry, drunken dwarf this morning? He's not usually up until mid afternoon.

It's all those racist takers messing up the things that White people built out of nothing. How are you supposed to make a living with all of those predators running around stealing stuff and hating on White people for no reason?

LOL This is what I promised my wife for our anniversary.

http://www.bluetrain.co.za/

Hey Ikey, you must be so proud of the globe-trotting exploits of your boy, Stanker eh?

And poor Stanker just can't stand it that nobody believes him. You malignant narcissist you. ROTFLMAO

BS Steve. No credibility. Copy paste all you want. And yes I've been. Armed escort. Zonk'Izizwe and Menlyn Park are a few reasons why I've been. If you were there it was a tourist area. Not the real RSA. You wouldn't last.

A distinctive curvilinear shape...heh heh. Don't you find it hard to believe that White folks bringing all of that post-colonial culture are so mistreated?

Build that good stuff in the former Homelands and support the local economy.

White people just don't get the message, do they? The reaction against chattel slavery and apartheid ripples down through the generations and across the earth.

Sure you have CP.....sure you have...

What's the name of the island where the plane has to refuel?

ROTFLMAO...I guess the Stanker is unaware of the range of modern jetliners nowadays as well. Great job you are doing proving your case Walter "Stank" Mitty.

Dulles International Airport will get one of the few nonstop flights from the U.S. to South Africa next month.

http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/stories/2006/09/25/daily46.html

The malignant narcissist Stanker foiled again.

Bwahahahahaha

The drunken angry dwarf shows his ignorance again.

BO everybody knows you can fly from the US to SA nonstop. Where do you have to stop on the return trip?

I never landed on an island. WTH are you talking about? I've flown direct to Jburg every time.

Everyone except you apparently, Mr. round the world traveller.

Stick to your fantasies in Mom's basement, Walter "Stank" Mitty.

ROTFLMAO

LOL Massive Fail! Somehow CP I get the feeling that you and the angry drunken dwarf have never been outside of the Beltway.

Oh, BTW you malignant narcissist, the Dulles - Johannesburg nonstops are both ways. Poor, poor Walter "Stank" Mitty. ROTFLMAO

Is the Stanker keeping up with your diaper changes, Ikey? Make sure that waste of flesh isn't lying down on the job.
