This will severely cut down on the trafficking of illegal gun sales and greatly assist in the tracking of guns used in a crime.





    Got that?
    While we're at it why don't we pass laws making schools gun free zones and making it illegal to murder other human beings/

    Wait, those have already been done.

    Got that?

    Apparently the founding fathers wanted women to be able to kill their unborn children and freeloaders to get social welfare since they put so much about it in the Constitution.

    It wasn't important enough to reinstate for the supposed (inferred in this post of yours) "party of yes" when Obama had total control over the House and Senate in his first years either. You must hate school children. I've also noticed how the "Party of Yes" likes to vote "no" all the time. Maybe the "party of no" changes hands with the "party in power"... Hmm... interesting.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    I'm curious. Does TaichiLiberal know that during the first two years of Obama's first term Democrats controlled all three entities involved in making laws?

    In less than a month after taking office, Obama signed into law the Recovery Act (ARRA), a $787 billion stimulus. The Democrats considered the state of the economy so important that in less than 30 days after Obama taking office, they'd passed and Obama signed a law they claimed would help something they said needed immediate attention. In just 14 months after Obama was elected, he signed the Affordable Care Act more commonly known as Obamacare while all 3 entities involved were controlled by Democrats because they said healthcare was an important issue. However, they couldn't get a law passed/signed in over 700 days on an issue they constantly claim is so important despite the numbers and majority they held not changing.

    Don’t stop there. Monitor EVERY purchase of ammunition just like the purchase of a weapon. Set a limit.

    Product liability is next.

    You will get none of it. But it is nice for you to be able to dream

    Maybe you can find a gun free country you would prefer better so you can be safe

    Does the Constitution mention food stamps, healthcare, government housing, etc.?

    That's OK. I have more ammunition that your simple mind can count.

    Amazing that your need for a useless piece of metal outweighs the life of a child.

    How small can your testicles be?

    yes, I am suggesting exactly that. I, for one, will gun down as many as I can if they come for my firearms. cops, military, or civilians, because at that point they then cease being Americans. People like me are EXACTLY the Americans I want armed.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    So someone who has a child die in a car accident, is going to stop driving.

    How about a child that chokes to death, while eating. Should the parents stop eating.

    etc - etc.
