Hello again, Steve:

Remember that Aurora shooter... Well if police would have listened to his psychiatrist it could have been prevented.

It's true.. That's why we need comprehensive background checks. You don't want to leave it up to individual psychiatrists and cops do you??

You DO? Dude!

If the cops won't follow up on a clear threat then how exactly do you suppose they're going to do with background checks?

It's got NOTHING to do with the cops. It has to do with gun shops. IF someone is in the database, when they apply to buy a gun, they'll get turned DOWN.

It's true that the database will have to be accurate, and that presents problems in and of itself. But, if we DID have that system, the Aurora shooter would NOT have been able to buy a gun..

Maybe one of the reasons you're not FOR background check is because you don't UNDERSTAND them. Otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned the COPS doing background checks.. That, or you're just throwing around some BS.

excon WANTS a database of who's got guns so big brother can start to take them off us... thats basically what he admits to in this post. And that's the ONLY reason they would even NEED a database...

Hello smoothy:

Let me help you with your reading comprehension.. I said if you're IN the database, you can't buy a gun... Therefore, only the people who we DON'T want to buy guns, need to be IN the database.

Over to you, winger.

Dude, I know how background checks work and they apparently did nothing to stop Holmes from buying weapons. Why would anyone who appears "normal" and has no record be stopped by a background check?

On the other hand police HAD the info they needed to stop him and they didn't bother to act on it, just as they are supposed to do when someone prohibited attempts to buy a gun.

Even Colorado's Democrat governor said if he hadn't had guns he would have found a way to create "horror."

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper suggested this morning on “This Week” that even if Aurora shooting suspect James Holmes did not have access to guns, he would have found a way to create “horror.”

“This wasn’t a Colorado problem. This is a human problem,” Hickenlooper said. “Even if he didn’t have access to guns, this guy was diabolical…he would have found explosives. He would have found something…he would have done something to create this horror.”

Hickenlooper recognized the problem and in typical liberal fashion tried to solve it by addressing something else. It IS a "human problem" in great part due to liberal policies and ideology as I have argued before, not a gun problem. You can't tolerate stay at home moms, don't think kids need a mom and a dad, undermine parents in school, despise discipline, parade a bunch of Hollywood hypocrites who glorify violence and fill kid's minds with filth and sex and refuse to acknowledge the humanity of unborn (and sometimes born) babies - then you get pi$$ed about guns.

Dude!

Your fear of big brother has seriously compromised your common sense. This has never been about taking anything from YOU guys, or anyone else. Just clear process for public safety, not just for kids in school, but all of us.

Database is a database... you don't apply to by a gun if you don't plant to buy a gun... so everyone in that database OWNS a gun...

Anyone that trusts the government would NOT do something both wrong and unconstitutional with that secret info... is either a fool or oblivious to past events. The only other option is they know and expect them to do just that.

[excon]

Hello again, Steve:

If you want to throw up straw men, you don't have to.. There's PLENTY of murders that WON'T be stopped by a background check... But, that isn't the right argument... I'm talking about the FUTURE murders that WON'T be committed because we didn't let some bad guy buy guns.

Over to you, Dude.

Hello again, smoothy:

Let me help you with computer knowledge.. IF we want a database to INCLUDE only the people we WANT in it, then that's the ONLY people IN it. If YOU'RE not in it, you can buy a gun. If you are, you can't.

Now, that's not to say that the government wouldn't CHEAT. But, we don't make laws with that assumption.

And you actually believe that's how the government operates? Give them an inch and they take a mile.

There is a wide gap between theoretical and actual.

I don't oppose background checks, I think I've made that clear. I OPPOSE the overly intrusive bill that Schmucky is trying to get through. Even the ACLU has issues with it. Meanwhile I get no response from your side about addressing the human problem. This is the culture you wanted and created, what did you expect would happen when you made moms, dads, God and innocent life irrelevant, utopia?

If he (or she) ISN'T in a national database, no gun will be sold to that person.

Devil's advocate Neil Steinberg had a thought-provoking column in today's Chicago Sun-Times --

"Thus school shootings, particularly Newtown, set off this agonized national debate on doing something about guns — increasing background checks, banning assault rifles, whatever they might be — none of which address the core problem: loons getting guns and killing people. ... We’d do a lot better, rather than fixate on clip capacity, to address the holes in our national soul that make people seek out so many guns in the first place — the powerlessness, the fear, the anxiety."

Hello again, Steve:

If we live in a center right country, how did it get so liberal? The judiciary is STOCKED with George W. Bush appointees, yet we're getting more liberal...

The days of God, Guns and Gays are over. Bummer for you.

I believe they follow the law only when its serves their interests... the problem is following the law hasn't been in this administrations best interests so they ignore it.

Just for fun --

There was a bit of confusion at the sporting goods store this morning.

When I was ready to pay for my purchases of gun powder and bullets the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me."

Making a mental note to complain to my congressman about the gun registry people running amok, I did just as she had instructed.

When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out that she was referring to my credit card.

I have been asked to shop elsewhere in the future.
