Thank you , you have just proved my point objections objections objections . Absolutely it can be done, but when converted it becomes illegal to own so what's the point? If an illegal fully automatic AK-47 can be bought on the black market for $300 why would you spend $800 on an AR-15 and then convert it? That's the same argument BATFE and Eric Holder used in the Mexican gun running sting. Why would the Mexican drug lords buy Semi Automatic rifles in the US then smuggle them into Mexico when they can buy fully Automatic Kalashnikovs from Guatemala, Honduras and Venezuela for 1/3 the price and not have to deal with getting it over the American border? As to solutions, the majority of Americans don't feel there is a problem with gun ownership, and as it's our country it's nobody else's business to lecture us for any reason other than a desire to control someone else. If enough of the population feel they need to change the law, they will. That's the way it works, majority rule. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

By more violent, do you mean more capable of violence, more prone to violence, or express more violence? As the rest of the world gets to see more and more of the uncensored (non-DRM restricted) for their country "entertainment" perhaps we will have an answer for those questions. Humans are humans, culture and circumstances makes the difference in behavior. Of course, Americans are barbarians and the world would do well not to forget it before they make us mad. |

If enough of the population feel they need to change the law, they will. That's the way it works, majority rule. So 51% of America have joined the NRA and you can prove those of you that want the guns are in the majority. Then prove it by having a vote on changing the 4th or the 2nd . As for the Mecican b/s again you just didn't get it they want the AUTOMATIC ASSAULT RIFLES off the streets the NRA are just to powerful and not in the majority . It's not how many have joined the NRA it's who has and it has the right people in power who are in a position to abuse that power and that is exactly what we see. So much for being about Freedom. |

Any member of Congress has the ability to sponsor a bill to change or enact any law they feel needs changing or enacting. There are less than 4 million members of the NRA, so it's not numbers that make up whatever power you see. What does make up that power is the many other millions of citizens who see the truth in what they say and who exercise their rights under the Constitution including the 2nd Amendment. Every time gun control bills are defeated the Bloombergs of the left call it a subversion by the NRA. As long as that continues, the NRA is doing it's job. I don't know if you are aware that one of the purposes for the formation of the NRA in the 1870's was to champion the right of Blacks to own and possess firearms after the Civil War for their protection. I am proud to be a member of the NRA and I will continue to support their efforts to defend the 2nd Amendment as well as the 1st. The only thing a despot fears worse than the 2nd Amendment is the 1st. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

The the NRA like a lot of groups have lost there way and are becoming to far to one side . No point putting up bills that are worded wrong and are delberatly sabbotaged . Answer me this how many of the NRA members are in Congress ? How many are in high positions in the government and make the final decisions ? example : police chiefs , judges , in the A.F.T key areas where they can throw a spanner in the works . If you answer none the i'll belieave you the NRA are protecting your rights but i know there are enough to stuff things up so you have no credibility and are using lie's and deceit to keep the status quo. As for you saying the people have voted by buying guns . Well i'm totally against gun but if i ever did come to your country one of the first things i would do is try to get a gun to protect myself as your country is just to dangerous . Another distortion of facts and behaviour . when you live in a place where people are walking around with guns even if your against them you will buy one so that comment is also B/S |

Passing laws to prevent law abiding citizens from owning a firearm for protection DOES NOT AFFECT those who own illegal guns. They only prevent those who choose to protect themselves from those illegal guns from doing so. Criminals are criminals because they IGNORE laws. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

I'm smarter than the average bear i was right Colorado I used to think Colorado was a good place what with John Denver but i have come to know it as something else . So i'll leave you to your red neck attitude and call it a day in this thread |

I'm sorry to hear you dis-respect a beautiful place because you disagree with the views of one of it's residents. Yes, I'm from Wheat Ridge. I've stated that in my bio and don't know why you feel that is germane to the discussion. So goodnight. And my 'neck' is pink.[edit] Or maybe Red, White and Blue.......

Giron was recalled, but Rivera did not make it mich more than 13 months, being beaten by Garcia. While Morse was also recalled, his replacement was of the same party. The beautiful part about the Giron recall was that it was a true grass roots movement. Very little funding and done out of a garage. That's TRUE democracy at work. I worked for the Hudak recall effort which was rendered moot by her 'abdication' to avoid embarrassment. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

A Principal Cause: Media Violence You are joking right? That report is utter nonsense. Heavy metal causes violence? Playing games causes violence? You know that study after study after study show that games, and to a greater degree the media does not cause violence right? Perhaps not cite a study from 1999. |

Can let you get away with that one .gees That sounds like a wonderful business opportunity. Guns for hire, you get one at the airport, and carry it around for as long as you are in the states, so you can defend yourself. |

And final post i take it the NRA will be against changing the censorship rules right as that will infringe on the constitution . Doesn't sound like a very United States of America. Surely it's not beyond the wit of government to establish a national register for that purpose. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

Doesn't sound like a very United States of America. Surely it's not beyond the wit of government to establish a national register for that purpose. That is one of the core issues. As 50 separate States we are more like the EU in makeup than England or other countries with a strong central government. The other issue is an innate distrust of the Federal Government and their demonstrated willingness to lie to the people. It is felt by a lot of people that a national register of firearms is a duplication of effort not needed as the records of who bought a firearm is already required to be kept by the seller and the manufacturer. It is further felt that such a registration would be the first place a regime, turning on it's own people, would start to make sure there was no resistance to their plans. And preventing confiscation was the original reason for the 2nd Amendment. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |
