Assault weapons will not be banned...

They banned buying large quantities of fertalizer for all except farmers and have registered all owners of large amounts of fertalizer... because it can be used to make a bomb.

Pure luck that another massacre didn't occur just a few days ago.

"I live about 10 miles from the University of Central Florida, where a potential disaster was apparently averted Monday. There, James Seevakumaran, a 30-year-old ex-student who for some reason was still living on campus, committed suicide. He had apparently been plotting a massacre with guns and explosives on the other members of his college dormitory."

another quote from the above...

But it could have been, and as a parent this worries me. I have one daughter in college and by next fall, my younger girl will also leave the nest, unprepared to face any of the world’s dangers

Curious what the parents of the board think... but if you think/know your child is unprepared to face what is out there... would you not try to prepare them? Also... what the hell have she been doing for 17 years of her daughters life?

All you can do as a parent is teach your child the coping skills to use in different situations. Teach them how to communicate. Instill in them self-esteem. Let them know they can depend on your help and/or advice when the going gets tough. Nobody can predict what the woman's daughter is really going to face out there and sometimes it's learn as you go.

That is what I would expect a parent to state. Perhaps she just chose her words poorly.

Correlating freedom to gun ownership is laughable. Neither I nor most of the people I know own guns, yet we're still free by any definition of the word.

are you free to smoke marijuana without worry of prosecution? are you free to prevent yourself from being arrested for committing no crime? are you free to add a room to your house without asking for government permission?

what's ridiculous about this article is that UCF is already a gun free campus but this moron says guns have no place on campus. what good did a gun free zone do here?

So, looking back this is what has been accomplished:

Over 100,000 new NRA members
Thousands more joined other pro-rights groups such as the fanatical JPFO
Every major gun producer is now working at 100% production capacity
As per above, prices will PLUMMET in the months to come, opening a whole new world of access to the majority of Americans

If that's not a total fucking victory for pro-freedom groups everywhere, I don't know what is.

Gun and ammo manufacturers made a boat load of money off super paranoid people! I often wonder if they don't light the NRA up just for that reason since a lot of them are on the NRA board!

Freedom is about choice. Whether you actually act on that choice is irrelevant.

How far do you allow choice to go? I don't believe I have seen your answer to this question, but I have only so much attention span for gun threads, I am sure you have stated it, but I missed it.
