Interesting read on the support this lacks from Democrats in the Senate. Basically lays out that gun control is essentially just like nearly every other issue-a political one and one tied to votes and donors.

"The president figured Republicans who opposed his agenda would feel the heat. Instead it is Democrats, mostly in the Senate, who are sweating bullets."

"President Obama's vast gun-control agenda, unveiled in January, was never designed to pass this Congress. Its purpose was to rile up Americans and inflict political pain on the party that stood in the way.

Two months later, liberals are indeed keyed up, and Democrats are indeed getting hammered. Ready . . . aim . . . whoops."

"In Harry Reid's Senate, Republicans have serenely sat by as the president's sweeping plan goes nowhere—and all the attention stays on the dozen gun-rights Democrats that have guaranteed that failure. Mark Begich (Alaska), Mark Pryor (Arkansas), Mary Landrieu (Louisiana), Max Baucus (Montana) and Kay Hagan(North Carolina) in particular are up for re-election in red states next year, and they prefer political survival over Mr. Obama's political grandstanding."

The parents of Sandy Hook victims were on 60 minutes last night again. If it doesn't make you sick that no legislation has been passed to make this harder to do again then you're not human. In China the same thing happened but only a knife was used and NO ONE was killed!

He is serious. Judging by his most recent debates with me I have come to the conclusion he is retarded.

LMAO! Any fool who wants more guns IS retarded!

They even had a demonstration on 20/20 where classmates were armed and a shooter came in. Even trained gunmen missed and ended up hitting other classmates! All you need to see is the school attack in China with a knife and NO ONE killed yet we have 26 killed with an assault rifle! Too many guns here!

And yet no matter how many different posters keep telling you there will never be a gun ban, like an idiot with blinders on you keep posting the same reply over and over and over. :roll:

You know what I agree with you, by posting the same reply over and over and over on a 80's hair metal message board will one day bring us a much safer society and reduce the # gun deaths.

The similarities between your dream and Dr. Martin Luther King's dream are quite an eye opener, good for you.
