We publish crime records, wedding records, birth records, and other government records.<br />Criminals cannot buy guns, so they steal guns from legal owners. Why not track those criminal thefts like any other criminal activity? <br /><br />CPAC wants to send a message to the nation, so they include Trump and exclude Christie. They include the NRA, but exclude their gay members. They blame Obama for everything, but take no responsibility for their policies that have built our 17 trillion dollar debt.Etc., etc.....Message received.

Your constant a...1. Gun ownership is on the rise. Your constant attempts to deny this flies in the face of evidence.<br /><br />2. Universal implies every gun sale, regardless of who's doing it. The fact that criminals won't run a background check means that such checks won't be universal. If you'd call it the "Background checks only on people who already comply with laws" bill, you'd be telling the truth.<br /><br />3. Gun control freaks do see themselves as better than us. Then you beg us to go along with your schemes. Ever wonder why that doesn't work?<br /><br />4. There's nothing obvious about saying that to stop criminals, you should punish the law-abiding. Yes, your proposals are a punishment. You want us to go through the same burdens that convicted felons deal with. You want us to register and be monitored. You want us restricted in where we can go. You want us to meet with the equivalent of a probation officer regularly. The list goes on and on.<br /><br />5. Napolitano's video acknowledges that a weapon is a good idea. Scissors or a gun--both are a weapon when used against an active shooter. Since we've already agreed that a violent response is the answer to criminal violence, why not also agree that an effective weapon is the best solution?<br /><br />6. Newspapers have printed names of registered firearms owners. Have you missed those stories. It happened in New York and here in Arkansas.<br /><br />7. You've seen the acknowledgement by the government that "universal background checks" won't work without registration of all firearms. You want registration. Now you're trying to say that registration isn't the real goal here.<br /><br />8. You say that the sole source of guns for criminals is good people with guns. You say that in the face of facts that contradict your statement. If cocaine can get in, guns can get in. It's that simple.<br /><br />You got anything else?Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-27994245809187764772013-03-16T11:06:06.691+01:002013-03-16T11:06:06.691+01:00So we're lying and making an emotional appeal ...So we're lying and making an emotional appeal when we point to what happened in California the other day and say that your side really wants registration along with background checks.<br /><br />But then in the next paragraph you attack and accuse us of not paying attention to California. We were paying attention and we don't want to see that happen anywhere else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
