Pelosi: We must pass gun control because we swore an oath to uphold the [W:79]

Re: Pelosi: We must pass gun control because we swore an oath to uphold the Constitut

I knew it was going to be about gun control and gun control only when the left ripped Wayne LaPierre after the NRA comments.

The NRA tends to fund anti socialists and its membership tends to vote against Democrats.

Criminals =when they can vote=tend to vote for democrats. Of course the Democrats hate the NRA more than criminals

Of course they do. Democrats have always been on the side of criminals, while the NRA has generally been opposed to criminals.
 
Re: Pelosi: We must pass gun control because we swore an oath to uphold the Constitut

This if ****ing funny.I have to wonder what Constitution is she talking about.

Pelosi: We must pass gun control because we swore an oath to uphold the Constitution « Hot Air Headlines

In a press release marking the one-year anniversary of the Aurora, Colorado shootings, the former Speaker of the House said: “In Congress, there can be no more fitting memorial to the lives lost in Aurora, in Newtown, and across the country than a concerted effort to enact commonsense gun safety legislation.
“We must uphold our oath to ‘protect and defend’ the constitution and all Americans by expanding background checks and keeping dangerous firearms out of the wrong hands.”

:mrgreen: Nancy needs to realize that 'expanding background checks' does not keep dangerous firearms out of the wrong hands. The 'wrong hands' can get any firearm they have a mind to.
 
Re: Pelosi: We must pass gun control because we swore an oath to uphold the Constitut

I think lots of middle of the road people saw the true scumbag nature of gun control advocates after Newtown. Only a moron could believe additional laws would have stopped Lanza and more than a few people realized that those gun control scumbags were using the blood of children to advance an agenda that had NOTHING TO DO WITH SCHOOL SAFETY
Very few things in life offend me, but there is little sicker than "dancing on graves" tm-LMR I cannot stand when some agendist literally upholds the deaths of innocents, not just related to guns but any issue you can name to say "see, SEE, if we had more power these people would still be alive, shame on you for not granting more authority to us". Equally sick was the Wellstone memorial/pep rally(well respected Democrat, one could disagree with him but love him as a person), the TM coverage, and so many others.

Easily. The black market is not legal, but it is laissez faire, and making something illegal automatically creates rarity, which in turn creates an unnatural supply/demand curve, which leads to profits. People by nature seek profits, when a person does not care about law and the weight of the profits exceeds the percieved risk that person will open shop. "Psst, C'mere guys" LOVE when the government makes more stuff illegal, it gives them more product to sell at jacked up rates.
 
Re: Pelosi: We must pass gun control because we swore an oath to uphold the Constitut

The definition of treason in the constitution is too short. Willful violation of constitutional oaths should be capital treason, Pelosi and many modern politicians really should be tried and hung for what they are attempting to do to our great republic.

Feeling nostaligic for those old necktie parties, are ya?

The wrong hands usually get guns from legal gun owners. Eliminating straw purchases without a background check could help alleviate that problem.

You obviously do not understand background checks and straw purchases.

Straw purchases are already illegal.

Spin again.

She's already shown in another thread she doesn't know what a straw purchase actually is iirc, along with a few other gun control advocates.

:doh That's NOT a straw purchase. A straw purchase is a very specific thing, it's a purchase using a clean record on behalf of a prohibited person SPECIFICALLY to circumvent the NICS check. Do you HONESTLY think that a background check will work against a practice used to circumvent a background check.

Here is where your wiki source fails. It is not illegal to sell a firearm to a felon, it is illegal to KNOWINGLY sell one to a felon. It's not illegal to transfer a firearm to a person UNLESS you lie on the NICS form to do so.

Just to illustrate the point.

If the penalty was harsh enough instead of a slap on the wrist, yeah.

"...The guns of Columbine were old and new. They were manufactured in three states, promoted by catalog and telemarketer, sold at small gun stores and large gun shows. But in the end, all four were sold anonymously to teenagers, no questions asked, no background checks, no purchase forms, no signatures....read....

The 18 year old girl who made the straw purchase for the Colombine teenage killers KNEW she was buying guns for her friends because they couldn't......and she was never arrrested.....

WTF are you going on about? I didn't say **** about penalties, we aren't even to that point yet, you flat out got the straw purchase definition wrong. And you further didn't even state you understand that it's already a felony.

Does not ****ing matter. The straw purchase was not because of the age of the guns, it was about a legal status individual lying on the 4473 form to a FFL dealer. Before you decide to give an opinion on the subject of the second amendment you need to know something about the issues.

By the way, your source sucks. Journalists don't know any more about this than you do necessarily, this guy is giving an opinion, and a particularly bad one that I don't give a **** about.

Uh, you asked me to answer your question "honestly" and thats what I did. Obviously, it wasn't the answer you wanted to hear but ...so what? I'm not here to be lectured at by you. If you want a two way conversation, then lets, otherwise I'm not interested in your nonsense, LMR.

If she lied to purchase the guns, then why didn't they arrest her? Okay, so because you don't know that straw purchases are legal in some states, I'm the one who needs to know the second amendment? Really? Do you even have a clue what this discussion is about, LMR?

Thats not all that sucks. Ya know, I really don't give a rats ass what you have to say, either LMR.

Well, maybe when you calm down and re-read your own posts you'll find that you did ask me a question and that you were not only wrong but a lousy communicator. Really, all I can do is show you the facts, but I can't make you think...or even read, apparently.

Teenagers cannot legally own long guns - minimum age it 18.

Abandon your illogical attempt of twisting the truth now.
