Yes sir, thank you for your service, and I may have to read that book again!

Why? Gun control is there because many/most people can´t be trusted with a firearm...so you just reshuffle again

2nd amendment is there to protect our right to be armed to defend ourselves just as the first is there to protect freedom of speech even when the people talking are wrong....

The only purpose of gun control is to disarm law abiding citizens through illegal laws, criminals don't follow laws...

No one has the right to debate my rights under the 2nd amendment, it is a right I was born with, not a privilege...

Taz, you don't give a 5-yr-old a gun and freedom to do whatever they want with it. The gun was in the house, loaded. That means, no matter what, the PARENT did not make sure the gun was empty and locked up. It may be the kids gun but it's like anything else of that nature, it requires strict, adult supervision. I've given my grandchildren pocket knives before they were one year old. Guess what, none of them have cut themselves because they don't handle them without guidance. Different worlds I guess; some people just need the government to lead them through life.

For sure the hippies are now in control, it is obvious. It is so obvious it s not worth notation. And if it is not obvious to you me or any other moron on the planet then I'm not sure what to say.

Terry, personal responsibility is out the window. The benchmark case Mickey Dee's being sued for their too hot coffee.

Unfortunately, this time of not accepting responsiblity is combined with a loss of common sense. For example, parents giving their five and six year olds ATVs etc. These kids haven't reached the age of reasoning. They are unable to understand consequences. Of course the kid hurts someone and the parent is all over it with ' He's just a child!" And you're just a moron!

I do take issue with your comment that no one blames the vehicle when Joey wraps his Mustang GT around a tree. The vehicle always get blamed. Manufacturers are sued every day for the craziest irresponsible behavior.

The Judge in a product liability case against Beechcraft aircraft company. "Was the thunderstorm over the airport when he took off? yes. Did he know that the fuel gauge read empty? yes! Was he told that the airplane needed fuel? yes. Was he type rated to fly that airplane? No. Was he rated to fly twin engine planes? No. Was he a licensed pilot at any level? No. So, let me if have this right. This was non licensed pilot attempting to fly an airplane he was not qualified to fly, in severe weather, and the plane was out of gas. is that it? Yes. And the plane crashed after running out of fuel less than one minute from the airport? Yes. Why are we here? Because our research shows, your honor, a design defect caused the airplane crash. There was a defect in the fuel system that contributed to the crash. I've heard enough. Case dismissed." Beechcraft spent six figures defending it self.

Exactly Native, and you just pointed out how ridiculous that is. We not only have to quit going after legal gun owners, we have to stop letting the ambulance-chasing lawyers run this country.

Now David if you were to count the parts in the average car you would come up with close if not over 30,000. Sometimes it takes a thing like the petal thing to bring it to light. I'm sure those evil corporations do not need negative reviews. or recalls But it happens. That's why there are warranties I guess.

The damn hippies that were scared to go to Vietnam are now spineless professors and lying politicians not to mention the proliferation of progressives through out the media.

It is so odd the way we change in life.... When I came home from my second tour in Vietnam I considered myself a hippie leftist. Took me 4 years to care about anything. And then I woke up and realized I was nowhere. There was nothing for me. And I went to work, worked hard. 38 years and I never called in sick, never missed a day of work. I became "everyman", responsible, believing in myself. And I became conservative, believing in family, home, good neighbors. I became protective, a voter who tried to make the best decisions.

All those things I believe in now with a clear conscious for my children's future are being disassembled. Yes, I am angry, but not a madman, I believe in the power of voting - but then I vote only once in each election, and voting that way it seems it doesn't count anymore. It is frustrating as we find ourselves in this position now....

I will never believe in a new American revolution, but that may be coming as the economy grows worse and Fascism overtly surfaces. I sincerely wish I did not see this, and it will not be of my making.

The choice I will make will be to protect my children for their future.

Let us be the stable ones for them.

And, I must say that a 5 year old should never be given a gun or have access to one. It is the responsibility of the parent to protect them, and from themselves.
