ewerk 26550 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 A president's strongest point in his reign is just at the beginning of his second term. Or something like that, I heard it on The West Wing so it must be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 2929 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Looks like he means business this time. Going to be an interesting battle with Congress. Looking at the NRA's attack on him before it even gets past the initial stage, he will be lucky to survive his second term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Can't imagine gun control legislature will see Obama leave the white house early. His proposals go further than the assault weapon ban that was in place 10 years back, but will be watered down to little more than a return to that. The background check thing isn't really effective. They already do checks. It's not the sane, upstanding gun-owners commiting these crimes though, it's their batshit crazy kids fucked up on xanax. Wouldn't a more effective policy be to punitively tax gun sales on an increasing scale based on the rounds it can hold? With the funds raised from such a tax going directly to mental health care.

Happy Face 29 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Aye but it would help lower the death toll in mass shootings. It's easier to stop a guy with a handgun than a guy with an assault rifle. Is the left hand axis the number of mass shooters or the number of victims?

ewerk 26550 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 The numbers are per shooter. Another interesting stat is that since 1982 not a single spree killing has been stopped by a civilian with a gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooner 243 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) http://cnews.canoe.c...4/20522426.html Welcome to Gun City USA Gun control changes behind plan for a massive walled, armed, private compound in Idaho Foot soldiers in America's culture war are taking to their bunkers. As U.S. President Barack Obama's administration plans new firearms restrictions in answer to the Newtown massacre, one group is calling for survivalist-minded families to apply to live in 'III Citadel' - a planned fortified city to be built into the mountains of Idaho. The main industry would be - you guessed it - firearms making, and residents would need to prove their proficiency in gun use. "The Citadel is primarily designed to defend against a grid-down, economic collapse scenario," reads one of the many pages on the website calling for recruits. "If living in an affordable, safe, well-prepared, patriotic community where your children will be educated in school rather than indoctrinated, consider the Citadel." Since the start of the great recession, precious metals and firearms are some of the only products seeing a sales boom. The main problem with creating utopias separated from the rest of society is one of economy, says one expert. "In the case of III Citadel, it sounds expensive. It seems unlikely to me that you could get very many people to move to a self-sustaining city in the middle of nowhere without some pre-existing infrastructure," said Jason Sorens, founder of the Free State Movement and an assistant professor of political science at the University at Buffalo. While some religious groups have a history of success in building their own communities, Sorens suggests survivalists are better off moving en masse to established towns with industries. And they wonder why people think they are insane. Edited January 29, 2013 by tooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhh_yeah 2786 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Cops have already left four innocent people injured who just happened to be driving or riding in blue trucks today. One of the trucks had over 26 bullet holes in it. There are trying to catch a whistleblower who has now lost the plot. Here is his manifesto: http://pastebin.com/uNYBbXaC#LAPD Never heard about this gentlemen before but I am now very intrigued by this story.

On Thursday morning, jittery Los Angeles police mistakenly fired on a vehicle they thought was similar to one used by Mr Dorner.Two women were injured. One was in a stable condition with two gunshot wounds and the other had a minor gunshot wound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMoog 0 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) News reporting that proposed plans to ban assault weapons in a new gun bill has been pretty much thrown out by the senate in the US. I've just about had enough of hearing about these pricks and their stupid ideas on what constitutes freedom, the next time there's a mass shooting they deserve no sympathy what-so-ever imo. Don't get me wrong, it'll be a shame but when a country isn't willing to act on common sense then there's little hope for them. http://www.bbc.co.uk...canada-21849814 Edited March 19, 2013 by TheMoog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can hardly blame the kids who were gunned down for living there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9037 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 I think I'd be less annoyed with American gun policy if it were ideologically grounded, but it's not, it's just that the gun lobby is sufficiently powerful as to have the votes in their pocket.
