Please don't say that, he's the reason why we're here today...the man invented the internet!!

I apologize if this is a repost... Not sure how old the video is but I would like to know how many guns she owns and what guns they are!

Hmmm very interesting...was not aware of that, thank you. So they can hire actors to portray the patients but they are not allowed to let the patients come out and say it...interesting society we live in!

The best proof that these drugs don't even work is that you don't see any commercials with people saying that "drug X cured me" or "drug Y helped get through my problem and now i'm better". What always stands out to me in those commercials are how many times you hear "if you experience any thoughts of suicide...", I think by that time your mind is a little too far beyond normal to consider calling your doctor. It really is embarrassing that this is part of our culture and it all revolves around money but the worst part of the whole thing is that the drug companies keep pumping those drugs out and they don't feel bad about any of the individuals who suffered. These are human beings.

I agree, this isn't about all police officers not honoring the protect and serve motto, regardless of their official job description, this is about the fact that this guy almost gets killed protecting himself and others, and two individuals who are looking for the attacker not actually capturing their intended target immediately and keeping someone form being hurt any further. If someone breaks into my house, yes I will have my wife on the phone immediately calling the cops. But you can be sure that I will be in front of her aiming at the bedroom door waiting for someone to come through.

That's a great picture!!

Changes have been happening to football over there years, this is nothing new...think about how many former players have sued the league because they weren't warned about the possibilities of long term effects from several concussions they suffered in their careers...think about how it started out with a leather helmet and now we have these very high tech helmets with different face masks...think about rule changes over the years like prohibiting the head to head collisions... It's nothing new that the league wants to make these changes to protect the players (and to protect themselves from getting sued) because it is a contact sport and there are dangers involved. The President sees those dangers and that's what he's talking about. Maybe yes he has some sort of agenda on children's safety in sports or he's trying to tug at the hearts of parents, either way, he's not making things up, he's stating that there are dangers in the sport and that if he had a son he might not like the idea of his son playing football. I think reading more into it is kind of crazy...

So i did a little searching for the video, the link posted didn't take me anywhere...isn't it weird that one of the parents of a child killed in Newtown comes out and speaks and MAKES SENSE and the video can't be found anywhere? How about the fact that the little blurb in the article with his name doesn't mention everything he said which contrasted what other parents were saying?? If anyone finds a link to the video please post it because I want to watch this. Nevermind, here it is...sorry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqpzOSYqX3c

It just goes to show that the image people in this area conjure up when talking about people with guns isn't a law abiding citizen or even a hunter, it's either a lunatic or a criminal...that whole brain-washing scheme by the ATF seems to have worked in the metropolitan areas!

I don't agree with the fact that, if this is true, he probably used our money to pay for it. I don't agree with a lot of what he promotes and does. I don't agree with a lot in politics actually. But I also don't agree with him being criticized for getting his whistle wet and that being grounds for him to be thrown out of office. I think that what he does in his personal life is just that, personal. Is he a scumbag in politics? Yes. Is he a scumbag in his personal life? Probably, but that has nothing to do with his professional life.

Fantastic letter which represents, I would guess, most views many of us here have. Someone else on another thread sent a letter to an editor of their local paper. Would you do something like that?

I think the point he is making is that being prepared is a good thing. If not for those fire drills, if a fire, as much as it is unlikely to happen, were to happen, the kids are prepared. If someone breaks into your house, as much as it is unlikely to happen (depending on where you live I guess), you can be prepared.

Did everyone forget that women "lay" an egg every month unless the egg gets fertilized?

Yup, after I watched that whole interview I continued watching others taht were gun related and whenever someone brings up facts, he just ignores it or goes back to his whole "why does anyone need a military style weapon??" One thing I don't get is why hasn't anyone brought up the fact that it only LOOKS like a military style weapon but it doesn't operate like one??

Great point! Let me ask you guys this, where do you go for reliable news? Or at least not so one-sided news?

I really want to know what Morgan's answer was to Nugent's final question regarding the whole less guns = more crimes stats!! Going to YouTube to see if I can find the whole interview!

The question is: Are there more gun crimes being commited within the past 3 months? Or is the media reporting more than usual to help with the AWB and/or any other anti-gun legislation? The more the uneducated public sees on television regarding gun violence, the more they will be anti-gun rather than anti-lunatics or anti-crime...It is blowing my mind how the way a firearm looks is leading the public to believe that is a military grade weapon that is capable of shooting 30 rounds in one pull of the trigger! I was at work the other night and overheard two couples discussing this whole situation, the women were very certain that "these weapons" (talking about 'assault weapons') have no place in society, there's no need to have them etc. I really wanted to ask them if they could tell me the differences between an AR-15 and its military counterpart, the M16 (and correct me if I'm wrong about that). I couldn't do that, because I was at work and that job is in the service industry and my boss would not have been ok with that, but that's another story. People are being duped into this whole ban 'assault weapons' thing by the media. I'll be honest and say that until now, I really didn't think that the media had that much influence over people, because I actually never paid this much attention to it before. I'm not really sure there's much we can do to stop it either. People are too busy watching 'reality' like Honey Boo Boo and the Kardashians to care about what is actually real.

You two are honestly missing my point somehow, I'm just trying to have a discussion...but that's fine, have a good night

I started a similar thread and was directed here and have found, i think, the answer to my questions...but a new problem has arrived, and it will probably cause disagreement but as responsible gun owners, shouldn't we want to keep guns away from "bad" people? If the 2a is the reason why we shouldn't have NICS checks and need an FFL for a transfer, why is it that the guy who just go out of jail because he robbed a liquor store at gun point and shot the clerk behind the counter can't legally go purchase a firearm? Isn't that what the NICS check and all the hoops we have to jump through provide?

Thank you, I was heading in that same direction, I'm not a troll or an anti trying to cause trouble here, I'm a gun owner who wants to educate himself so I, in turn, can go out and try to educate others about how distorted this subject is in the media and in politics. Thanks guys. RxB

So from what I've been reading and watching on the news, people can go to gun shows and purchase firearms without a background check. Can someone elaborate on this? I'm going to assume the person still has to have an FID card and in the case of a handgun a purchasing permit. The background check they're talking about is the NICS check correct? Or is a gun show a free for all where anybody can show up with money and buy whatever they want no matter if you're legally allowed to have a firearm or not? How do you guys feel about this "loophole"? What are the advantages of purchasing firearms and accessories at gun shows? Discuss.

So i posted that on Facebook and someone had the nerve to tell me that all of that information is written by someone with a pro-gun agenda, as much as that is true, because let's face it, someone who is anti-gun wouldn't write something like that, it is all true factual information!! I don't know how much clearer it has to be made for some people to understand!!!!

What are the chances that your article could be reprinted in other local papers throughout the state? If the members of this forum submit your article to the local newspapers and it gets printed, it's more information out there. All with your permission of course and probably the permission from your local paper since they probably edited it.

The only reason I don't think it's real is because there's no way they could get their hands on a RPG! So I'm thinking they photoshopped that RPG on the hands of the velociraptor.

This is fantastic, if anyone writes to their local politicians, include that link to help them understand, in case they don't. I'm also going to post that to my facebook to let the people I know educate themselves.
