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?

YOUROPINIONCOUNTS, you are incorrect. Guns are for preseving LIBERTY not hunting. DO you really think our founding fathers cared about squirrel hunting so much they Amended the Constitution for it??? really now

hi there pat. given time and the possible national registry, there will not be a need to ask....what are yer packin' partner....cause you will already know...or someone will. kind of scary isn't it?

The last I knew (unless something changed), schools are posted as "No Gun" locations, unless you're a security guard assigned there, or a sworn officer of the law, there in the course of their duties.

So, I guess that crazy dude broke that law too!

What kind of guns do you have, someone here might be looking for exactly what you have!

I haven't seen any rabbits is school buildings here. No guns in schools is best. Guns are for hunting, collecting, and dealing in for profit. Now is a good time to sell your guns. People have more money to spend on guns than they have good sense.

Colorado Republicans bristle as White House meddles in state's gun control debate

By Barnini Chakraborty

Freddie, I know quite a few liberals who own guns, and shoot regularly at the range where I'm a member. Pretty good people, but then again, they don't "act out" like you do.

You continue to tell us how public opinion has changed, that America supports radical changes to gun laws. Yet, the Majority Leader of the Senate doesn't want to bring Feinstein's bill to the floor. Most Democrats are fearful of bringing gun restriction bills to the floor in the House.

They remember history, they recall how many from their party were sent packing in 1996, after they voted for the 1994 AWB.

And, F.I. Joe telling people that he instructed his wife to fire a double barrel shotgun off the balcony if she is suspicious of an attack shows what dipsticks you have in charge. Everyone that has a CCW has been trained and knows what a dumb stunt like that will get you. But I guess if a rich wife of a VP does that in an affluent neighborhood she will get some attention from security/secret service and will not have to wait an hour for the town cops to show up like the rest of us commoners would. You should be ashamed of your leadership instead of worshipping their feet like you do.

Oneill, the NRA and most of it's membership does not agree with backround checks because you psycho gun grabbers have already demonstrated your hate for anyone with an unlike opinion and it doesn't take an Einstein to understand that after your legislation to ban AR's does not work, you will attack the registered gun owners next!!! You have "misunderestimated" (as Bush said) your foe... Again... You think everyone is idiots but yourselves and you do not have the faintest clue what you think you are supporting. Continue with your Ignorant Bliss.!!

Joe Biden's Shotgun Advice Could Land Jill Biden in Jail

Felony aggravated menacing, reckless endangering charges could result from shooting gun in air

@oneill

FYI – If you dislike my "rebuttal" then my advice to you is leave your "attack" of me out of your "rebuttal" and I will happily ignore you along with your co-conspirator.

Munster blaming others for using "cut & paste" stuff is like Charles Manson blaming the Pope for the frequency of violence in society!

The Five Jerks You Meet on Earth

by Ray Zardetto

. . .

A parody the 2003 book called "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom

. . .

Now look at the reality of "The Two Jerks You Meet in the Times Forums".

FYI - That wasn't an "attack". It was a "rebuttal"!

Take over Munster. This childish moron who likes to parrot the stupidity of others has become a repetitious bore! I wonder if they have an "Oscar" category for "Best Juvenile Simpleton"?

FACT:> I have yet to attack anyone here, you, on the other hand, do so on a regular basis. ~ stickhauler <:FACT

If anyone deserves the label of "extremist" it is folks like ONEILL who bloviate, obfuscate, fib, and viciously attack anyone who dares to post a viewpoint that disagrees with his agenda in this society!

He does “attack" anyone – especially those who disagree with his fanatic views about everything.

Sound advice from a 12-year-old dimwit!

@Sticky - But, as a "soothsayer" you are a paranoid washout! Hey! I LIKE shotguns myself!

Don't Grow Old - Grow Up!

by Dorothy Carnegie

That's right Sticky, stick to your delusions! You never "attack" anyone - except those who disagree with your fanatic views about anything. And, yes, I'm sure that you "don't believe that everyone should be armed" - except for those on the right who share your fanatic views about guns. You certainly don't want us liberals to be "bearing arms", do you? In your pure hypocrisy on all of these issues, you are a "paragon of virtue". Ha!

Stiff- I am quite fond of a mini14. You are quite often mistaken in your observations.

I have yet to attack anyone here, you, on the other hand, do so on a regular basis. I also never claimed there was an effort to ban shotguns. But, I'm sure that eventually, if given their way, they'll try to ban any firearm.

That is WHY gun owners are standing together. If passing laws against something actually worked, why do we still have a war on drugs?
