Are the Second Amendment "rights" of Americans really being "threatened" - or is this complaint just another gimmick to get the right-wing, reactionary base "fired up" for 2012?

Don't be stupid , oh wait you already are ! I think we all know what constitutes a military cartridge !specfically for a military weapon ! Some are designed to do as much damage to a human body as possible !RE: spoon tip , air bubble etc !

Americans Want Stricter Gun Laws, Still Oppose Bans

by Scott Clement,Washington Post.

90 percent of Americans want expanded background checks on guns. Why isn’t this a political slam dunk? Nine in 10 Americans support expanding background checks on gun purchases in a recent Washington Post-ABC News poll, an extraordinary level of agreement on a political issue and a finding that’s been duplicated in nearly every major public poll. We are ohio .co m

Americans Want Stricter Gun Laws, Still Oppose Bans

What is a military style cartridge? What exactly makes a round of ammo "military style?" Is the 30.06 a military style cartridge? A .45 ACP? A 9 mm?

Is it a military style weapon, YES ! Why don't you grasp that ???? Does it use a military style cartridge , YES ! Will a semi -auto version do the same damage to a human body , YES !!! I don't give a rats as$ on your numbers , the truth is almost 80% of all americans want something done ! THATS CALLED A MAJORITY !!!!

A semi-auto, modern sporting rifle, IS NOT a military assault weapon! It's really sad that people like you are unable to grasp that!

And, to set the record straight, I was citing a very conservative number for the official attendance at this year's NRA annual meeting. The 2013 NRA Annual Meeting exceeded attendance numbers of any previous meeting. The official attendance at this year's meeting was 86,228, a new record attendance. This year's meeting had better than 12,000 more credentials issued than the previous record set at last year's meeting in St. Louis.

An interesting aside, Texas law allows concealed carry in venues such as where this year's meeting. It's unknown how many members present held a CCW, or how many were actually armed, but there were no incidents.

Kind of defeats you folks claiming that if people are allowed to carry a firearm for self defense, that there'd be blood in the streets.

See, that's what I've been trying to tell you ! This isn't an attack on your second amendment rights , its just restricting military assault weapons !I know you cant accept that because of all the crappola that you've been fed but in reality that's all it is !

"Trying to save his job?" As long as he's out there in the forefront fighting off the various attacks on the 2nd amendment,there is no way the board would even consider replacing him.

Under Wayne's time as Executive Vice President, the NRA has increased it's membershio to over 5 Million individuals willing to take on "Organizing For America"n the Brady Campaign, and any and every anti-gun group out there. As well as that idiot you liberals crowned President!

Your "fired-up" fellow anti-gun folks had a demonstration across the street from the NRA annual meeting. The huge crowd of around 50 Obamabots showed up! The annual meeting attendance? Around 70,000 patriots.

Bring it on!

Yeah he's a guy trying to save his job !

" LaPierre told several thousand people that the "political and media elites" have tried to use December's shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school and other recent mass shootings "to blame us, to shame us, to compromise our freedom for their agenda." "

NRA leaders say gun rights fight far from over

Since you are so worried about not hearing comments about the little girl shot in Kentucky by her brother, here's my take. Any parent who allows a 5 year old to have access to a firearm without adult supervision is guilty of child abuse. Plain and simple. I've discussed here before how I feel about proper storage of firearms.

That said, I'd agree with the Kentucky legislator about not blaming the gun. I'd blame the parent. A 5 year old should be allowed to learn about shooting, under supervision. But, any responsible parent would assure that the firearm is stored properly, not leaning against the corner in the kid's room.

I even clear any firearm before leaving the range, with the exception of my carry gun. And all are secured when I return home, or holstered on my person until I go to bed, then my carry gun goes into my bedside safe.

@Stick - You're not watching the NRA thing in Houston. Several there have talked about what they call the "need" for "insurrection" - and I suppose Alex Jones and Ted Nugent are "just funnin' around" like Kullectrot? The new NRA President calls the Civil War "the War Against Northern Agression" and advises gun-owners to buy more guns to stand against "Obama tyranny"!

Does Kunnect know that threatening people is definitely against TIMES policies for these forums? ... I asumed that Kunnect might buy fireworks because of the upcoming Fourth-of-July festivities, and a pressure-cooker to cook all the deer meat he plans to obtain with his AK-47 and AR-15 toys!

I wonder if Kullectrot also bought any fireworks and/or pressure cookers along with the rifles?

also been catching some of the NRA fibfest in Houston to observe Huns, Goths, Vandals, and Vikings in their natural habitat ... I'm switching over to the other forum-topic on guns because this one is a bit outdated ... You HAVE heard that - despite all your conspiracy crap about Obama and Holder - the 2012 election didn't work out so well for you wingnuts?

@Greekster - I aborted your post about abortion. AMERICAN CITIZENS are upset about AR-15s because they seem to be the "weapon-of-choice" for mass-murderers like Holmes, Lanza, and the Tsarnaev brothers ... Yes, they are light, easily transported, and adaptable. Some like to drive oversized vehicles that don't fit into regular parking slots because they give such drivers the illusion that they are driving a semi-truck (without doing the work that real truck drivers - Sticky? - do). Gun-geeks like AR-15s because they give them the illusion of being "Rambo". There's nothing wrong with that, but these people's fantasies are NOT as important as the lives of our children ... I notice that none of the gun-geeks want to talk about that incident in Kentucky re. the "kiddie rifle" ... Sorry that I haven't been jumping at every silly tweet here, but I'm busy with a research-project about the "Dark Ages". I stop here occasionally to pick up material. I've

Still here I see ! Promise not kept !!

REMEMBER! I "promised" to buy both an AK and an AR BECAUSE of your pitiful protestations against our 2nd Amendment RIGHT to do so? PROMISE FULFILLED!

Of course it would have nothing to do with the blathering right-wing idiocy and veiled threats from our local tea bagger nuts ! Again konect, I thought you were leaving never to return ! Now that's the typical republican, making promises and never keeping them !
