References California school shooting. "in the month since 20 precious children and 6 brave adults more than 900 americans have reportedly died at the end of a gun. 900 in a month. Every day we wait that number will keep growing."

[dwamp2006 1]

"900 hundred americans have died at the end of a gun in the last month"...... seriously? how many of them were purchased legally?

[DirtyDigz 1,812]

"There is no law or set of laws that can prevent every act of senseless violence completely...if there is even one thing we can do to reduce this violence, if there is even one life that can be saved then we have an obligation to try."

 

"As soon as I am finished here I will sit at that desk and sign a directive that will... make it easier to reduce violence."

[WVisHome 0]

How many were by "high capacity mags" or AR's?

[DirtyDigz 1,812]

"Will direct CDC to study best ways to reduce gun violence...research into ways violent video games affect young minds"

[Big Jay 0]

"As soon as I am finished here I will sit at that desk and sign a directive that will... make it easier to reduce violence."

[JacksonLee 4]

He says that "Congress should restore a ban on military style assault rifles as well as a ban on high capacity magazines holding more then 10 rounds"

So I guess that wont be an exec order?

[Big Jay 0]

"one purpose - to pump out as many bullets as possible as quickly as possible - arurora gunman shot 70 people in a matter of minutes"

 

"weapons designed for the theater of war have no place in a movie theater"

 

"ronald reagan agreed, one of the staunchest defenders of the 2nd amendment"

[DirtyDigz 1,812]

"Get tougher on people who buy guns with the express purpose of selling them to criminals and anyone who helps them to do this." (why don't you start with Eric Holder....)

 

 

 

"Congress should confirm Tod Jones for ATF director."

[Big Jay 0]

He says that "Congress should restore a ban on military style assault rifles as well as a ban on high capacity magazines holding more then 10 rounds"

So I guess that wont be an exec order?

 

Can't be. He can't sign an executive order on anything regulated by congress. That HAS to go through congress.

[DirtyDigz 1,812]

"I believe the 2nd amendment guarantees an individual the ability to own arms....I also beleive most gun owners believe we can respect the 2nd amendment whle preventing an irresponsible few from (wreaking havoc)"

 

"Reforms are common sense measure, have the support of the majority of the american people"

[WVisHome 0]

2nd amendment aside, the complete disregard for reason and logic behind any of these bans is staggering.

Goodbye FTF

 

From the sounds of it, FTF would still exist yet a NICS check would be required. Not sure how they could enforce it.
