Gun control is only designed to prevent criminals, minors, the declared mentaly ill, non citizens, etc from buying guns legally. If a person has a very clean recorded and they buy a gun and shoot up a place, how is gun control surpose to stop that. When someone calls for more gun control after a shooting, what the hell do they mean? It has become a slogan like "Yes we can, and Change" that means nothing.

If we only allow the govt to keep guns away from the crazies, the law-abiders can still stand up for their rights!

Have you ever even been in the same room as a copy of the United States Constitution???

How about a state constitution?

Oregon State Constitution- "Section 27. Right to bear arms; military subordinate to civil power. The people shall have the right to bear arms for the defence [sic] of themselves, and the State, but the Military shall be kept in strict subordination to the civil power[.]"

Dude, read a book for a change...

From the legendary Col. Jeff Cooper and text from columnist Phil Elmore:

"In my opinion," he said, "neither money nor greed ... is the root of all evil. The root of all evil is envy. The non-coper hates the coper, and thus the non-shooter hates the shooter. I see no other explanation for the pointless and irrational activism of the gun grabbers on the political scene. They know that their machinations can have no effect upon crime. Guns have no effect upon crime, but they do make all men equal, as the saying goes. This puts the coper on top, and infuriates the non-coper." This is the root of all liberal hatred for firearms. Liberals despise the idea that this technology enables the individual to stand up for and defend himself and his family. They loathe the notion that with a gun, a man is far stronger than a man without – and thus a much larger threat, a much louder dissenting voice, where their invasive, big-government, totalitarian, nanny-state power grabs are concerned.
