I use to feel sorry for you.

But now, I just don't care.

However you do seem to have a real problem with fundamental rights we have in America.

Your words betray your real feelings, Lily Dearest.

I should feel sorry for you, but I don't. I'll save my pity for people who deserve it.

Parroting again. Should I get you a cracker?

Did Lily Dearest ask you to come out & play?

How special!

Haha...You hate when lily's right. She said you copied her. You denied it. I pointed out that's exactly what you did.

Kind of like when you say repeatedly you don't want to take anyone's guns but argue for gun control on every thread?
Sorry if it's difficult to comprehend the difference between taking away a person's guns and advocating stricter regulations for purchasing guns.

How will the bolded ensure criminals do not obtain guns?

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

It will possibly keep those with a serious mental illness from purchasing guns, chef.

How long of a waiting period, if any, do you support? Any background checks?

I didn't ask about people with mental illness. I asked about criminals.

I think a week waiting period for most guns would suffice. During that week, background checks and other evaluations could be done.

There is a law about the mentally ill not being able to purchase weapons. Problem is not all mentally ill have a diagnosis because they don't go to the doctor and our laws don't mandate that an obvious crazy person go to a doctor even if the family members BEG the police and such to get the people help. And you know why???? Because the bleeding heart liberals say that protecting an individuals' rights even when mentally ill trumps the safety of the public.

Flan, you have no clue just how much the freedoms you enjoy would be affected if guns were banned in this country.

Obviously no one has an answer to that question.

And, on another thread, many posters thought that SEVEN minutes was long enough to have to "wait" to buy a gun. That's frightening to me.

And I'm talking to you, Flan.

Background checks, with today's technology, shouldn't take long at all.

A day at the most.

I don't support waiting periods.

Well, guns themselves frighten you, so that's not really a surprise...

Guns actually don't "frighten" me.

It happened over a decade ago.

And you do NOT want me to answer your question. You really don't.

And its still there? You really don't have any pride do you?

And I wouldn't have asked if I didnt want an answer. But you wont answer because it would ensure everyone knew that you might be a bit touched...

It would depend on how much you had had to drink. Happy now?

I agree that the mentally ill shouldn't have guns but instead of focusing on banning guns we (the government and state government) should focus more on how to get the mentally ill the help they need. There are slim resources for the mentally ill and that is where the Obama administration
should be focused on.

The problems we have are a moral one not a gun one. I'm not going to go out and shoot anybody or rob a bank. I live in a rural area where if I needed the police it would take 45 mins for them to respond. I have a right to defend myself and my family. I'm alone alot. Criminals don't obey the laws and will find ways of obtaining weapons from other crooks on the black market just like they can buy drugs.

Then they ought not advocate for more gun control seeing as how it doesn't work. Criminals will always get guns somehow, some way. It's ridiculous to disarm the citizenry and turn them into sitting ducks.

I must've not seen the thread of which you're speaking.

If you support policies and laws that remove guns from people you are taking away your guns. If they outlaw concealed carry everywhere, then how am I or anyone else supposed to exercise our 2nd amendment right?

Am I speaking English? I thought I was.

How does enforcing a waiting period and running background checks equate to taking away existing guns?

Lots more shootings in Chicago this weekend, if you care to Google and comment. Which you wont'. And, neither will the Pote-ass.

Why don't you just tell me what my comment should be, since you seem to know everything.

And did you mean POTUS? The use of derogatory words really reflects badly on you (imho).

So, if the President said:

"Shooting people is bad. STOP THAT RIGHT NOW, Chicago!!!"

Everything would magically be better?

Why don't you aim your ire at the Governor and/or Mayor involved?

Which is the whole point to the argument against gun control. The only people you will stop from having guns are the good guys. The bad guys will still have them. But, everyone will then be defenseless.
