| What really needs to be done is to stop relying on someone else with a gun to come and save you. Be an American that is willing to take responsibility for your own protection. |

Awfully presumptuous. I don't think "Americans agree that gun deaths are a national crisis." Violent crime and crime involving firearms is in decline.
You can't compare automobiles and firearms.....driving is a privilege, bearing arms is a right.
I could expect no less from a policy director from someplace called "Squirrel Hill." |

All the gun control laws passed since the 1968 gun control act (and even before that) were supposed to stop unlawful use of guns. None of them have achieved their promise. What makes anyone think that more laws will work.
Gun control laws only affect law abiding citizens. The criminals, wackos and malcontents do not obey laws and will get guns regardless of the number of laws and restrictions. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
