You'd have to pry my Canadian citizenship from my cold dead fingers.




Uh, Don, Canada is in North America.



So is Mexico, but I doubt they call themselves Americans... at least the ones who stay south of the Rio Grande.


Actually, they do realize that they're also Americans, and I'm sure they can spell the name
properly. I'm glad to see you've learned to do so.

Latinos are adamant that they are all Americans and some are offended
that people only think you are American if you are in the Estados
Unidos.
At best we are Norte Americanos.


Amen.

It's not the members. 74% of the NRA membership support universal
background checks. The nut case is Wayne LaPierre who happens to
get
all the media publicity. BTW ... he's not even the President of
the
NRA. He performs the roll of CEO and is the national spokesman
and
loud mouth. Problem is he doesn't present membership views ...
only
his own.


Please provide an objective source for your "74% of the NRA
membership
support universal
backgroud checks."

---------------------------------------------------

These will get you started. Objectivity is up to you to determine:

No reference to where the 74% comes from.

Not objective.

http://www.thecrimereport.org/news/crime-and-justice-news/2013-02-polls-support-background-checks


Nearly three quarters (74 percent) of NRA members supported requiring
a background check
system ?for all gun sales? in a January online survey by the Johns
Hopkins Bloomberg School
of Public Health (respondents were recruited offline using a
probability sampling method).

This poll is suspect on its face.

-----------------------------------------------------------

As I alluded to in my reply, I suspect *any* study or poll that
doesn't support your point of view is "suspect".
Doesn't matter. You are free to believe what you want to believe as
am I.


I distrust polls that only provide a final percentage without providing what the questions
are, what the acceptable answers were and what order the questions where asked.

Go back and read about the Massacheusetts ratification convention.

------------------------------------------------

I fail to see what it has to do with background checks to purchase a
gun in 2013.

Things have changed a bit since 1788 and changes to laws are sometimes
required. For example, I'd like to see a uniform travel law
established for permitted, legal gun owners. There's no Federal law
restricting inter-state travel but each state has it's own set of
rules and reciprocity agreements. I can't travel from MA to SC to
visit my son with a gun in my car without violating the law in several
states. In many ways I think traveling down RT 95 through New York,
New Jersey, and other areas south is probably more dangerous than some
war zones if you happen to be forced to stop in the wrong places.


Uniform travel law? If we are moving to national laws we should just go to the point where
each state has to recognize each other states CCP, concealed carry permits, without
modificaiton, exception or modification. If I am originally permitted in one state that
should be accepted by all states whenever I enter those states or when I move from state to
state. Why would one right be andy different from any other right?

So, you don't believe in state's rights or you do? You don't when it
comes to guns, but you do when it comes to other things? Your "logic"
is so twisted not even a pretzel could sort it out.
