ABC news had a panel discussion loaded with people who felt it was "obvious" that all semi-automatic rifles and pistols should now be banned. One suggested that all ammunition should be $1000 per shot.

I wonder what they would say if someone was trying impose such restrictions on their freedom of speech?


when has speech directly killed dozens of people?

and has 'speaking' changed since constitution times the way that 'arms' have?


The Bill of Rights was not intended to be open to interpretation. You missed the point. If one right is open to attack, they all are.
what do you expect when even Ron Reagan opens his Big Useless Trap!


That Guy really hasn't learnt a thing!

Comment along with the Pic(FB)

He's an idiot, they already do that. In the state of Mass you have to get a ton of classes to carry. The problem is posting "no gun" signs all over a movie theatre and making the law-abiding citizens leave their guns in the car while a psycho open fires on kids and families. Evil people are going to evil things regardless. Criminals don't care about gun classes and laws...


Ron, there are a lot of really crappy drivers out there who have been tested and still don't give a **** about the other drivers on the road...."familiarity" breeds contempt in many!


more knuckleheads who think education is going to stop people from mass killings. Too bad most gun toting psychos are more then smart enough to pass some silly gun test. Fools....


I'm going to be a naysayer here. But I don't see how this would have stopped anything. What Ron Jr is suggesting is better educated gun users. So I don't know how this would help if we are just going to educate the mentally unstable people who do these things to use the weapons better.


Driving is not a right but ownership of a gun is! He's needs to stick with something he knows like dog shows!

Mexican President: U.S. Gun Laws Are "Mistaken"

While ignoring the inconvenient fact that part of the reason why 63,000 people have been slaughtered in Mexico since 2006 is because Mexican citizens aren't allowed to legally own guns and defend themselves against ruthless drug cartels purchasing guns in bulk from China and Latin America, Mexican President Felipe Calderon is lecturing the United States again about how we need to reform our "mistaken" gun laws.

"Because of the Aurora, Colorado tragedy, the American Congress must review its mistaken legislation on guns. It's doing damage to us all," Calderon said.

Remember, Calderon called for the reinstatement of the assault weapons ban in May 2010 during an address to a joint session of Congress. Calderon is also a big supporter of the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty, better known as the "Small Arms Treaty." Not to mention, Aurora Colorado already has strict gun laws and the theatre was a gun free zone. Calderon is also partially responsible for Homeland Security's "bean bag" policy after he raised hell about Border Patrol shooting a teenager who was throwing rocks at them.

When President Calderon gives up his armed to the teeth security detail, then we can talk about gun control. Until then, he should really try and keep his mouth shut. The reason America isn't Mexico is because of our "mistaken" gun laws and I, like many others, want to keep it that way.

Westboro Baptist Church Threatens To 'Super Picket' Aurora Prayer Vigil For Batman Shooting Victims

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church appear to be on their way to protest a prayer vigil for victims of the Aurora massacre, according to tweets from members posted by Examiner.com.

Using the hashtag #ThankGodForTheShooter, Examiner.com reports members tweeted out their plans to "super picket" the candle lit prayer service, saying "God is at work in Colorado."

Hi ho Hi ho, to Colorado we go!#godsenttheshooter!#americaisdoomed!#godisyourenemy! #godkillingyoursoldiers!t.co/4CpYyKJT
— Fred Phelps Jr (@WBCFredJr) July 22, 2012

Almost immediately, members of the community launched a campaign on Reddit and Facebook to form a "wall of love" around the memorial service to block the group from getting close. Church member Fred Phelps Jr. said these efforts would be in vain:

@WBCFredJr WBC in Colorado to conquer yet another "wall", just like yesterday in Columbia. #andthewallcametumblingdown! http://t.co/NeTmqnfg

Earlier this morning, the Denver Comic Con released a statement on their Facebook page urging patrons of the convention to assist in forming a human barrier in front of the service.

“If you volunteered for Denver Comic Con 2012, or any other Con, and are planning to attend tonight's vigil, please consider wearing your volunteer t-shirt. I'm asking my DCC volunteers to be prepared to help form the barrier, should Westsboro show up."


Hope they'll get what they deserve this time!mad

The question I have is did Ron Regan really say that? Just because there is a picture of him with that quote doesn't mean he said it.

our love affair with guns in and of itself, kind of implies an obsession with violence

That has to be one of the most ignorant statements I've heard.
Just because people like to hunt and shoot for sport in no way "implies an obsession with violence"

I believe that SPEECH has changed more dramatically than guns have since the Bill of Rights.

Did the founding fathers ever envision the internet? Cell phones? Facebook? TV and Radio?

One piece of misinformation you hear constantly from the MSM is that the shooter used an "assault rifle" like the military. A real assault rifle is fully automatic, i.e., a machine gun. The gun referred to was simply a semi-automatic rifle with a big clip. They are not the same thing.

Another point commonly touted is that the US gun owner does not have the "right" to own any weapon used by the military, only "safer" single shot guns that can be used for hunting and target practice. The men who formed our country and demanded the Bill of Rights won their rights by shooting at the government with the best weapons of the time. The Kentucky rifle was used and was considered a far superior weapon to the muskets used by British Soldiers.

Perhaps if the military required all honorable discharges (unless they objected) to carry concealed weapons for a period of ten years after discharge as a way to further protect their fellow citizens, crime would see a different face on America.

When all guns are outlawed, only the outlaws will have guns. This is what happened in the theater in Aurora.
