The problem Greg is that liberals always think they are the only ones smart enough to decide what "common sense" is... and there is never any compromise unless it's a temporary means to an end. Have you ever stopped to think about what the words "liberal" and "conservative" mean? Depends which continent you reside on. |

After all, your position on just about everything is that "nothing can be done about anything, so why have laws, rules, codes?" Right?

I was pointing out that there were already laws that would have prevented the CNN crew from legally purchasing the guns they bought and they still bought them. The thing that ****ed Richard off was when I pointed out that they had to drive over 600 miles, visit 5 gun shows just to find 3 illegal sellers. If you know anything about TV at all you know they had hours of footage of people following the law that ended up on the cutting room floor to get the "70 seconds" they used. Perfectly legal in "gun show loophole states" like Virginia for individuals to sell their regulated firearms to someone without an instant check. I ask again, why did CNN go to Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina then? Were they saying there are no gun shows in Georgia or are they not saying that those sellers wanted them to walk over to the instant check booth first? That is the problem with TV, you only see what the producer wants you to see. I don't know why they went there, and neither do you. The point is that you can buy firearms at gunshows without a background check. Period. You should not be able to buy or sell or gift a firearm without paperwork recording the giver, seller and buyer. If the seller is willing to break the law, what difference does it make? In this case the buyers and the sellers were breaking a federal law. It would have been far more convincing if they just stayed in Georgia and the fact that they didn't makes it sound like maybe they were being asked more questions than they wanted for their show. After all it is just a TV show and not a whole lot different than the Kardashians or Honey Boo Boo. They shoot hours of tape to get a 12 minute segment. Private sellers can break the law with virtual immunity *because there is no requirement for a background check or registration of the purchased firearm*. Geeze ... Private sellers could break the law if there *was* a requirement for a background check or registration..." Geeezeeee Peet! But since there isn't such a law in Virginia... So what? You're the one saying the law is broken all the time. What would another law do? OK, it would increase the size of the AFGE. Other than that - nothing. |

'Cause it makes the arguments by you and Luddite ridiculous? Do you think the Chicago, DC, Flint, NO, etc, shooters undergo background checks? It's so ridiculous it's sad, really sad. |

It is like the NBC guys not telling us that the put an IED next to the truck's gas tank to make it blow up because they were unable to make it blow up when they crashed other vehicles into the side of the truck. Again though, the point is missed. They still bought a small arsenal in two days consisting of a Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle, two Glock 17's and a S&W 45 with no questions asked. Were the sales illegal? Did they do the paperwork after the sales and neglect to report it in the video they released. You'll find that both Luddite and Krause tend to ignore arguments they can't refute. |

".Death from auto accident is cheaper for the insurance company than paying for emergency care of the injured. When your head goes through the windshield and is then popped off you die. If you head bangs into something and the seat belt breaks some of your bones you are really ****ed up and you will require quite a huge amount of care.

You'll find that both Luddite and Krause tend to ignore arguments they can't refute. Refute what? None of the questions or comments have anything to do with the issue being discussed. This whole subject centers around the strange wording of the 2A that historians and legal scholars have been scratching their asses for a couple of hundred years trying to figure out what the hell Madison was talking about. He lived in the days of Red Coats, Minute Men, muskets and flintlocks not 30 round magazines, semi-automatic rifles and pistols. When he drafted the wording of the 2A, the "militia" consisted of farmers and fishermen who were expected to bring their own musket or flintlock to the fight when needed. |
