When I see the members of congress who represent just a 2% portion of the US demographic, pushing 90%+ of the firearm control legislation, I ask myself what are their true motives in trying to ride roughshod over the other 98%. I wonder if I am needlessly concerned when I see members of the 112th congress and other government officals, who hold dual citizenship with the US and other nations. I can only ask myself where does their loyalty rest, with us or them? @Murph, I agree 100%.

It is so that we can prevent the gov't from overthrowing us. It IS so that we can fight and wage war on our gov't if need be. If you celebrate July 4th, this is what you celebrate. Freedom from gov't control. This country wouldn't be here today if your way of thinking had been instituted 300 years ago. You have what you have and get to say what you say because of farmers and normal folk having arms to raise up against a controlling gov't (England) Eeroye, the right to keep and bare arms is not so that we can overthrow the gov’t.

It's the user, high capacity (Quantity) magazines rounds, assault rifles designed to kill, high capacity magazines for assault rifles, armor pearsing ammunition designed to kill. Now all you IRA and Repubes start screaming about your wrights. We're not being invaded. My little six shooter will stop that home invader if I'm a good shot. And maby I'll get his buddy if he doesn't get me first. Some of thoes kids might still be alive if this guy had limited shots 5 or 6 maby 2 guns and the adults could have had a chance to rush him when he's reloading. I'm done now so start screaming about your wrights.

For those who abide by the law. When will liberals learn that , when you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns. They(those who break the law)do not care what the laws are.

Have you ever noticed, these nuts who want to shoot folks almost always pick the place least likely to find anyone armed? All the gun control laws in the world won't stop these kinds of folks.

Any one who decides to use a weapon, must practice with it. A gun is useless if you can not hit your target. You must know what you are doing. And hell no , it should not be a mandate from the federal government. It is called common sense. We have laws in place that cover that. By the way , if I own a gun, why would I not practice with it? Liberals are idiots. I agree. Any one who decides to use a weapon, must practice with it. A gun is useless if you can not hit your target. You must know what you are doing.

I have a few myself, but I don't consider myself paranoid or unprepared to use one if needed. I've had the training and I refresh on it several times a year. I would suggest that anyone who wishes to carry a firearm be trained to properly use it to keep themselves and others safe and for maximum protective effectiveness if needed.

Over the years I've had to pull my gun on someone 4 times and it was extremely effect each time, I didn't have to shoot in any case, but it stopped the intended crime immediately. I'm not paranoid, I'm armed. Maybe you are the paranoid one worrying about over throwing the government, but don't worry we get a chance to over throw the government in every election. ..eeyore…..I can tell you from experience that having a concealed weapon is very effective if the need arises.
