Young & Naive
Ah Johnny, you were so close to getting it, then you lost your grasp of the real world
My first question how are they going to force people to prove they turned in all of their firearms? waterboard them?
You really think passing an addition law would stop someone determined to commit a crime? I mean if people are going to follow the law, the protection order should be enough, shouldn't they, they carry the weight of law, just not the enforcement of the law.
Also understand anyone can acquire a court order, if they can reasonably explain to the court they have a real fear of another human being. If the court accepts that the fear is reasonable, they can issue a restraining order, and if there is evidence of "real" potential violence a protection order.
Now no crime has been committed, and in very likely over 99% of the cases crimes will not be committed. There is only a real belief of the defendant being in fear of physical violence.
Look at it from this angle college students are known to party hard, and I have real belief that you will operate a motor vehicle while under the influence, (Since DUI's kill a lot of people every year), and run me down.
I go to the court express my fear, should the court order you to turn in your car, until you reach a certain age or leave college? You have committed no crime we have only shown the potential for a crime. (do not tell me that a car is not a weapon, why do they have crimes listed as vehicular homicide, and vehicular manslaughter?)
Now since you have given up your car, what is going to prevent you from buying, borrowing, or renting or stealing a car? After all, aren't pretty much all the automobiles titled licensed and registered? I know we can pass another law.
Your president may not have passed any anti gun bills, because in he wants a second term, but during the debate, he said he was in favor of a permanent assault weapons ban , and some kind of control on cheap handguns so poor people can't defend themselves, so that is not an attack on gun owners and the Second Amendment?
Understand laws are only effective, if people wish to obey the law, tell me you have never broken the speed limit?
There are only two ways to deter crime:
1: Surety of capture 2: Surety of punishment
So you may like to drive faster than the sign says (signs do not enforce the law), but when you hit a section of the road that cameras are installed you slow down (Surety of Capture) and the ticket in the mail (Surety of Punishment)
Now just for the sake of discussion let us say instead of a "No Guns" sign, the sign stated "Licensed Concealed Carry Holders Welcomed" and suspect knew half the staff were licensed to carry, we wouldn't even be having this discussion

Selling your car does not make you a dealer
It is also naive to believe that paper, plastic signs, or verbal orders will stop evil Your personal security is your responsibility, whether you are a man or woman, if the suspect had flung a molotov cocktail into the beauty salon, the body count would have likely been higher, and the discussion would be about how evil some people are, rather that trying to change the law governing an inanimate object

No mention of having her shoot 3 inch magnums
But pretty well sums up why women are not supportive of shooting
I tell all of my new students do not buy a gun, until you take a class, but most of the ladies who did were sold a "J" frame air weight or something similar, and it is not pleasant. A couple of shots and I hand them a 22 semi auto usually a Browning Buck Mark, then when we finish the course of fire, I let them try 2 or 3 9mm semi autos. Few return to the dealer that sold them "that there is a perfect woman's gun" 38.

I've always said they were as accurate
Just harder to shoot accurately
Small sights are hard to see, as we get older even harder to see, my Colt Commander is a fun gun to shoot but that little bump they called a front sight is nearly impossible to see anymore

Total Agreement
The .40 S&W is the epitome of a compromise cartridge, born from the legendary 10mm, which was known to turn human beings into a shower of sparks and blood on impact.
Costs more, recoils more, and no real difference on target

Request
There is an internet photo, of a single shooter on the range with a caption
"It is easy to be the best when you are the only shooter on the range" or something close to it
I could use a link

Obama said
“…….weapons that were designed for soldiers in war theaters don’t belong on our streets. And so what I’m trying to do is to get a broader conversation about how do we reduce the violence generally. Part of it is seeing if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced, but part of it is also looking at other sources of the violence, because frankly, in my hometown of Chicago, there’s an awful lot of violence, and they’re not using AK-47s, they’re using cheap handguns.”
So there ya go, assault weapons, cheap handguns, magazine limits, ammo limits?, don't just vote next month, take your friends to vote, take your neighbor, we must rise and and say no, and we need to do it with our votes!

So how much income tax
have the illegal immigrants paid?
So they will give someone who is illegally here a break, but they tell a war veteran sorry about your luck, the downward spiral continues

I have thought this more than once
But he said it
I've said many times, that people would actually save money, by taking classes, and learning how to correctly shoot, but I've heard over and over again "But the guys at the gun shop said, If you buy this one you can't miss"......, and going to the range and standing in some stiff legged modified weaver, with your index finger curled around the trigger guard, (because that is how the actor held it on Thursday night prime time), and slapping the trigger a couple of hundred times isn't training, it may feel good , but it isn't training. Leaning back, and holding your gat in the cup and saucer mode, might in your mind be a cool looking way to shoot isn't training, not sure I'd even call it shooting. "I know how to shoot", is now countered with, "yeah, ok but do you know how to hit?, see teaching someone to shoot is easy, you can teach a monkey to shoot, matter of fact they can figure it out themselves.
But learning to hit, repeatedly, no it is not like the lottery, where you score once in awhile, is getting your mind into it, 99.9 percent of the time there is nothing wrong with your gun, and your ammo is not out of date, or isn't a bad batch, it is you.

Well there it is in their own words
Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.

To think he was considered a liberal in his day
"Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom." - John F. Kennedy
