"I�ve just finished reading the 122 pages of Diane Feinstein�s latest 'gun-control' bill, Senate Bill S.150, and was surprised to find some important things missing."
"... but first, here�s what�s missing."
"1. Criminals"
"Nothing addresses criminals � everything is aimed at innocent people who haven�t done anything wrong. There is not even any 'malum in se' (legalese for intent to do wrong) or criminal intention. It is all 'malum prohibitum' (wrong because we say so), the worst kind of bureaucratic and government abuse � crime by decree. The critics appear to be right. This is not about gun control, it is purely about control. ..." ... |

"Today�s debate on Gun Control is largely framed by two diametrically opposed perspectives. On the one hand, many proponents of gun rights hold the position that the Second Amendment affords an unrestricted right to keep and bear any arms of our choosing, subject to exactly zero restrictions. All Americans, they argue, regardless of mental capacity, prior conviction status, etc. are guaranteed the right by the Constitution to keep and bear any arms they wish. On the opposing side, many gun control proponents advocate complete civilian disarmament. In their minds, the average person simply can�t be trusted to own firearms. They believe that in a gun-free world, crime would simply cease to exist. . . ." ... |

An honest debate starts with facts, proceeds to the problem, and ultimately to a solution. The facts are that innocent people, young and old, are being massacred. The killers are using available weapons such as handguns, rifles, clubs, hammers, knives, shotguns, fists, feet and sundry other things. All of the above are lawfully bought and possessed under the Constitution. States and the federal governments have placed restrictions on automatic weapons and such things as mortars, hand grenades, flame throwers, and explosives.

"As controversial as the various proposals for gun control legislation have been in the wake of the Newtown shooting, one idea that�s managed to survive the debate and gain some traction, even among gun owners, is universal background checks."
"That impulse is a good one. We all want to stop criminals and the dangerous (or potentially dangerous) mentally ill from getting weapons. As a gun owner myself, I consider background checks an acceptable price to pay for the right to own a gun. I share that belief with many other gun owners." ... |

"One of the most contentious moments of Wednesday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on gun control came when a witness insisted that military-style AR-15 rifles were the 'weapon of choice' among the ladies."
"The comment elicited cackles in the back of the hearing room, crowded with heavy hitters from gun control groups and National Rifle Association reps."
"'Young women are speaking out as to why AR-15 weapons are their weapon of choice,' Independent Women's Forum senior fellow Gayle Trotter dead-panned. 'The guns are accurate. They have good handling. They're light. They're easy for women to hold.'"

In it he made some remarks that display the current attitude of many Americans who are making judgments based mostly on emotions and very little research and understanding of the Second Amendment."

Nearly all firearms that gun owners have possessed over the past 200-plus years are direct descendants of military weapons, such as the bolt-action rifle from the 1906 Springfield rifle and the Model 1911 pistol, which is still produced for the public. ..." ... |

Duck, duck, goose. A game wherein children learn the art of picking the fat, dumpy kid. A lesson learned by proponents of civilian disarmament. 'Federal law prohibits me from having more than three shells in my shotgun when I�m duck hunting. Federal law provides more protection for the ducks than it does for citizens.' See what California Rep. Mike Thompson did there? He�s encouraging hunters to think of Americans as sitting ducks. Home of the Brave that. Anyway, never mind. 'Assault rifles' have been outselling traditional shotguns and rifles by a margin of five to one (or more) for almost a decade. Handguns have been outselling long guns for more than four years. And all this talk of gun bans is goosing sales. ... Meanwhile . . ." ... |
