Funny in that the MSM runs poll numbers stating that the American public wants gun bans/controls when the numbers clearly state the opposite.

I just saw your signature... this simple words you spoke make way to much sense... How easy would it be to curb gun violence if you illegally use a gun (not to defend yourself) but to rob or murder... Why not make it a crime punishable by death...
I promise you that MANY people will think twice about picking up a gun to do something illegal if they are putting their life on the line for a few bucks.

Really?
Just because someone owns/buys a gun doesn't mean they don't see the logic in stricter gun control. And how do these numbers suggest otherwise? Not all of these purchases are unique people...lots of guns among a smaller group of gun owners. It is failry common knowledge that gun owners are not the majority...but gun owners tend to buy more than one gun.

The problem is that there is no legislation being aimed in the right direction (no pun intended) criminals do not follow gun legislation so the laws they are trying to enact only serve to further limit law abiding citizens right to bear arms.
How about stricter penalties for possessing a fire arm illegally, or much stricter sentences for crimes that are committed using guns? Why is nothing like this being discussed? You know, laws that might actually make a difference to criminals with guns.
Universal database and registration, even with private sales........... There was another country that did this too, right before they were all confiscated, who was that again........ I'm trying to think, Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Meanwhile, the NRA and gun manufacturers are laughing all the way to the bank...America bought their propaganda hook, line and sinker.
The fear of a black man as President was a big marketing advantage when you know your audience is racist as hell.
