They are, "I'll give you my gun when you pry (or take) it from my cold, dead hands" and "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns" These sum up how I feel about guns and the government trying to take mine away. Criminals are the only ones who do evil with guns.......duh.....the ones who don't obey the laws anyway. Do those who want to take our guns away think criminals will suddenly have a change of heart and give up their guns? I’m reminded of 2 once popular slogans.

The threat of taking away guns by executive order would be illegal anyway, what does that make the man who uttered it? Murder and drugs are illegal, how's that working out? Actually so is a convicted felon with a gun; obviously that's not working out. As someone else once said, the only thing that stops a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun!

Either way, the president cannot make laws, i.e., executive orders; it violates the separation of powers; that is the job of the Congress.

Why was he out of jail? It is my opinion that we need to get the weapon charges away from the state courts since they like to plea down cases and release the 2 time felons. The federal penalty for a felon in possession of a firearm is up to 15 years in federal prison. If possession charges are filed as a federal offense I bet you these scumbags would be behind bars and not out on the streets involved in gang-related gun fights.. Same guy involved.....

That would possibly be so if the Bill of Rights said, ’shall not be infringed by the Federal Government’ but instead it is a blanket statement in a Constitution limiting the powers of both Federal and State governments. Therefore, the wording promises the right to keep and bear arms is beyond the power of government to restrict. It won't stop our President since he has mentioned issuing an Executive Order on the matter if Congress obeys the Constitution but that's a whole 'nother matter. In fact, though, the extensions of rights to people under the Fourteenth Amendment would also extend the right to keep and bear arms even under lower governments just as it forbade local governments from establishing or restricting freedom of speech, religion, assembly.
