Wonder what you all think of this. Taking more and more of our rights away


Posted: Apr 14, 2015

Can we try to keep this civil and have a conversation about our basic constitutional rights without needing our hard hats please. I personally do not like guns, don't own guns and never will, but I don't want the government taking the rights away of law-abiding citizens to own guns if that is their choice. Governemnt is getting way to big and I don't want them in my house, church or bedroom. I do like what this judge says though. If this is true this is scary that police can come take your guns away just because. What will it b next. Think this is true?;

I believe in gun rights for every law-abiding, sane....sm - VTMT

American citizen. I think there should be background checks for all sales, and I think guns should be taken away from some people, such as people prone to violence and domestic abuse. I think this story (FOX after all) is way too general, no specifics as to why guns were confiscated, what the results of law suits were in the 12 states, and the reasoning behind these rulings. Scare tactics via the illustrious NRA and FOX.

Thanks for qualifying with "sane" - Elmer Fuddy

So many of those against the background checks are so desperately in need of a background check and restrictions regarding weapons. When I do psych reports, so many of the patient's need to be on suicide/homicide precautions. It seems that so many of the mass shooters have had psychiatric problems--and even using airplanes to carry out their plans. Problem drinkers so often involved in family murders.

Sometimes people make threats & get their guns removed, sometimes govt officials lie - Guess Who

I think both happen sometimes, it's a case-by-case kinda thing - dat's what I think:)

Sometimes people makes threats against the government and then get their guns taken away, and sometimes government officials lie and just say they did so they can take them away from certain people.

Regardless, I don't think it's as prevalent as Crying-Fox News tries to tell us it is, just another "boy who cried wolf" story. They didn't bother with citing how many have had this sort of thing had actually happened to them, nor did they distinguish between how many had made threats and had them taken away versus people government officials just lied about. In fact, they never said how many, just that it was "on the rise." I bet. Lot of whacko birds wanting to overthrow the government right now.

I'm a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment, but I also think just like driver's licenses, there needs to be a minimum age of 18 for gun usage, as well as longer-term training classes with written and practicum exams at the end of the course.

This, of course, because the Obama administration has NEVER come to grips with the extent, the global reach or the implications of Islam ...
