Do you really think that not being able to legally purchase a weapon will deter a really committed crazy person? Do you believe that the majority of violent crimes in your community are committed with legal guns? If so, I'd encourage you to do some research on teh subject. Most guns used in teh commission of a violent crime are illegally obtained.
Some? He has been a strong supporter of anti gun
They become illegally obtained because guns are so prevalent in this culture that I can break into a house and steal a gun, or go buy one, file off the serial number and sell the gun to a crook, report it stolen and I am off the hook.
If guns were not everywhere, it would not be so easy to have millions of them floating around to be obtained illegally.
I already addressed that by stating the need for mental health legislation and involuntary mental evaluations. It seems YOU missed that, not me.,The point you missed was that if he had been unable to buy a guy, he would still be in his parents house ranting about the government and masterbaiting to guns and ammo glock centerfolds.
Some individuals in some gangs were, but there is very little research behind the idea that there are massive drug gangs in the U.S. that control the street level trafficking of narcotics. This is true in Chicago, and it's true to some extent in parts of California, but it's generally not true elsewhere.

He lacks the capacity, as a president, to pass legislation impacting gun rights, when he does not have control of the house. Try to stop panicking.
I am not asserting they are drug cartels, I am asserting that people commit robbery to get drug money, people kill to get drug money, ..... Drug related in that way.
Even if Democrats still had control of both houses I doubt he would have even thought to initiate any anti-gun legislation. It's just such a charged issue that the public backlash would have been too great. Even when he did have control of both houses the Democrats were barely competent and shaping their own legislation.
Given that law enforcement data isn't typically collected or analyzed in a way that would allow those sorts of conclusions to be drawn, I'm highly suspicious of that claim.]
And no, the majority of murders aren't about drugs. They're domestic disputes. Most gang homicides, contrary to your beliefs, aren't about drugs. They're about turf, respect, or revenge.

And no, the majority of murders aren't about drugs. They're domestic disputes. Most gang homicides, contrary to popular belief, aren't about drugs, either. They're about turf, respect, or revenge.
I know i'm going to get slammed for saying this, but I personally believe that gun ownership should be a privilege and is not a natural or human right. And I believe that upholding the professed right to gunownership just isn't worth the cost to society. That being said, it is just my personal opinion and I don't believe in taking away anyone's guns.

He's just handed a magnificent frying pan to the chefs in the Republican party so they can cook his goose and whip their diehards into a frothy of "the gummint gunna take my guns." Just look at this thread...
Is he really? In what way?
So you think MORE laws instead of enforcing and reinforcing current ones is good?
Gun control increases crime because criminals don't have to worry about getting shot
Liberal MSNBC says that more legal firearm ownership reduces crime rates « Wintery Knight
He lacks the capacity, as a president, to pass legislation impacting gun rights, when he does not have control of the house. Try to stop panicking.
It stirs up the anti gun lobby and democrats will propose more laws to please them
Obama will do it through regulations and by pass the congress
Then what is?
Just stay away from the ghetto!
Obama will do it through regulations and by pass the congress
The strength of the anti-gun lobby in this country pales in comparison to the gun lobby, and if he tries to please the anti-gun lobby he'll have a lot of pro-gun folks on his ass. Ptif you will be allowed to keep your guns, don't worry.
So you think it is bad to stop mentally imbalanced people from obtaining assault rifles?
