Is It Time to Reform Gun Control?

I completely agree. Didn't you mean to check "no"?

yes

Hi Sister Jean. I'm Missile's sis-in-law. She has the best heart of anyone I know and believe me, I know some great peeps. I love the very bones of her and then some. Every tragic event like Colorado adds fuel to folks fears. What's wrong with the world? As you are Mandy's friend I know you are a very good person. I'm a heathen just so you know but I am spiritual. Just not into organised religion. Very best wishes from Mandy 1. Missile is Mandy 2 as she is younger than me. :)

thanks

Not only no but Hell No !

Open carry! Prohabition never worked on anything!

Very True but as i read the American people are so misinformed about weapons in this country. Especially automatic weapons and suppressors as well.

Most can not remember who was the first president let alone the last, and they know even less about who is actually running this country!

Fully understood !

what type of reform are you referring to? Hey TT LTNH

Open carry! Everywhere, just so as to have a level playing field!

Coming to my state on NOV 1st. I've had concealed in CT for 30 years and in OK for going on 4 years and I think Open Carry is a good plan. Think that guy would have stepped into a theater to do that shooting if he had seen many of the ticket purchasers armed?

Gun control doesn't work

Neither Does the Obama Administration!

Two hands on the pistol grip is all the control I need...

My new one has a real nice lazer site

Unless you mean remove restrictions.

Open carry!

Kind of a vague, question, TBG. Did you mean to ask if more restrictions should be placed or less? While I'm a bit against selling an anti-tank weapon to the masses, denying citizens the ability to usefully defend themselves only weakens the citizen and make them more susceptible to a police state. "Usefully defend" could be against a wild animal, while hunting, a violent criminal. I've heard from martial arts instructors, that they'd use a gun to defend their home.
While the event in Colorado was horrific, there are a lot more people to die to drunk drivers, automobiles, and even fatty foods then to guns in the US.

Open carry!

Word!

"Gun control" in any form is, by definition, a direct violation of the constitution.

Open carry!

Open carry, concealed carry, owning a freaking tank if you so choose...the second amendment is written in simple English despite all those who claim it is open to interpretation.

I live alone in the mountains. I own guns and I don't plan on giving them up.

Open carry!

Gun Control laws are erratic across the nation. I own a 45 Ruger. It took a couple of days but required nothing more than a $25 fee and a drivers liscence. I live alone in a remote area, keep it loaded at all times, and feel safer with it. However it annoys me that it was so easy to get legally, but then again it is even easier to get an unregistered gun and at other times in my life I have had 3 unregistered guns. The whole system is disfunctional.

Open carry!

I find the question a little vague. Hmmm? 'reform gun control'. Do you mean 'take it back to basics' or do you mean 'make it tighter'? I'm assuming the term 'reform' would meant 'revert back to' (and voted yes) but it could be construed otherwise.The terms 'reform' and 'gun control' do not fit together well. As it stands now, I think most gun laws only make it tougher for law abiding people to access the rights given to us by the founding fathers to own weapons. As it stands now, and always will, NO GUN CONTROL LAWS apply to those with criminal intent. ABSOLUTELY NONE! Even if guns for the civilian population here in the US were banned, you would only open up another underground economy for imported (i.e.smuggled) firearms here like we have now with illegal drugs. Hence the cliche 'when guns are outlawed, only outlaws (and cops) will have guns!

Open carry!

What part of "should not be infringed" don't you understand?

We do NOT have a well regulated militia.

Because after Waco the gov went and broke all of them up.

Open carry!

Go on line and do a search for your state.

I'm not sure I understood the question! I would assume 'reform' would mean to 'revert to' as in back to basics! In any case, there are two clauses in the 2nd A. There's the 'justification' clause, being the "...well regulated militia...", but then there's the 'operative' clause, "...the right of the People, to keep and ....." Regardless of how the intellectuals want to argue the two points, it's the 'right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms' that seems to say it all, regardless to any justifications!

Open carry!

Amen
evil will always lurk in the side of darkness , it is the duty and responsibility of every American to bring light into this wold and keep right , fidelity and justice

Something's obviously not working.

What's not working and where? Seems to me that our representatives have been making it easier for law-abiding citizens to not only get firearms, but to the carry them in public as well. 49 states now issue 'carry concealed' permits. Not only that, but many states have made 'stand your ground laws' and 'castle doctrine laws' that help in using firearms in self-defense. I reside in Ohio (can't call this living) and I was obligated to jump out a second floor window (since I was physically able to!) to avoid confronting an intruder into my home. Now, with the 'castle doctrine' laws implemented, I can shoot an intruder without fear of prosecution, unless I shoot someone that's legally entitled to be in my home! Sort of narrows the field, to speak.

The only state that still won't issue 'carry concealed' permits, is Obama's home state of Illinois! Something else I don't understand is why do the 4 cities with the strictest firearm laws, LA, NYC, Washington DC and Chicago, have the highest firearm crime rates? The rest are either staying static or declining? They tend to blame the use of and availability of guns on surrounding states, but why are their crime rates so high? Could it be that if you, a law abiding citizen, live there, everyone knows you can't and won't be armed?
