People who (mis)interpret the second amendment to the constitution are too insane to own deadly weapons.
They keep saying "Der tryin to take our guns."
They are the same people who say of immigrants "Dey took our jobs."
No one wants YOUR gun you jerkoff.
WE WANT TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHT TO OWN A GUN BY HAVING REASONABLE GUN LEGISLATION THAT WILL KEEP GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS OF VIOLENT OFFENDERS.
These paranoid conspiracy theorists do NOT speak for the people.
They are, in fact, lunatic fringe.
The NRA has 1.5 million members (even though the fudge their numbers and say they have twice that many.)
1.5 million FOR and 300 million AGAINST.
The intelligent people of America DEMAND mandatory criminal and psychological background checks for potential gun owners.
If you have an anger problem then you do not need a gun.
If you have psychological impairments such as schizophrenia none of us want you armed.
If you have a history of violence then sorry, no gun for you.
WE WANT OUR RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS TO OWN GUNS.
If these common sense laws offend you then I doubt that YOU want what is best for our country.
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun...IS TO KEEP SO MANY BAD GUYS FROM GETTING GUNS.
These gun nuts keep saying that they will use their guns to take on the government one day.
Seriously?!!!
You really think our own government is going to use it's own military against it's own citizens?
First of all that is paranoid thinking.
Second of all your AR-15 assault rifle would not help you against tanks and the advanced weaponry our military has.
You are talking crazy talk while we are pleading for REASONABLE regulation.
When our forefathers wrote the constitution, the most powerful firearm was A MUSKET!!
It took six minutes to load and fired one shot that was only effective at distances of 6-8 feet.
Don't tell me Thomas Jefferson wanted you to own an AR-15.
He would beat your ass for saying some shit like that.

Defining Freedom in Amuuurica
I once heard someone say
"Sacrifice means giving up something good, to achieve something great."
Americans love to talk about freedom, but I wonder if many Americans even understand what freedom really is.
It is virtually impossible to get anything done without some brainwashed zealot screaming about their FREEDOM.
Having lunch with a buddy of mine, who works for the FBI, shortly after the Aurora, Colorado Bat Man shooting, I asked him
"This guy bought $1200 worth of ammo for automatic weapons online. How did you let that slip under the radar?"
He said "We should have caught it, but we caught this one."
With that he showed me a news story where the FBI busted a man who was planning on shooting up the premier of the new Twilight movie.
Yet people cry about the idea that the FBI could be monitoring their internet usage.
THAT is a freedom I am willing to give up if it means we can stop psychos from killing our children.
Let the FBI see the porn I wank to.
It's really not that exciting.
Let them monitor my Facebooking.
Seriously they will be bored to tears.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING MONITORED AND BEING OPPRESSED.
We have the technology to prevent senseless crime before it even occurs if we implement it properly and we should not let the paranoid rantings of a minority of people spreading propaganda keep us from living in safety.
We all have to be willing to make sacrifices for the greater good.
What if it was your wife who was murdered?
Your husband?
Your child?
Shot to death while watching a movie or walking down the street.
Would that change your mind?
The FREEDOM word gets thrown around when people talk about guns as well.
Hey I'm all for it.
If you want a gun, have one, but register it and pass a psychological and criminal background check.
That way I know the guns are getting into the hands of the good guys and not psychos and criminals.
But the mere mention of a reasonable measure such as this has people hollering about their FREEDOM.
Leading me to believe that most people do not even know what freedom means.
"Do you mean that every American should have the right to own a firearm?"
"Hell yeah!" they say
"So every American should be allowed to own a musket? As this was the most powerful firearm when The Second Amendment was drafted?"
"Times have changed. Now we need more advanced guns. The criminals have them. We need them."
"So every American should be allowed to own a rocket launcher? A tank? A suitcase nuke?"
"Well that's ridiculous." they say, but where do they draw the line?
The truth is that they DO NOT KNOW what is right.
Their views are arbitrary.
But they are loud and well funded.
What they lack in education they make up for in volume.
They will not be silent and neither should we.
Compassionate, intelligent people must always be vigilant.
We must not lose out to paranoid people who believe they must stockpile an arsenal to battle our own government.
That is insane thinking.
If the government really wants you in an internment camp, your M16 is NOT going to help you, pal.
They will open, flash and clear your house so fast that you will be incarcerated before you wake up.
The fact is that our government doesn't want us in concentration camps, as crazy right wing talk show hosts would have us believe.
They want us shopping, spending money and stimulating the economy.
Freedom doesn't mean "I can do what I want whenever I want and others have to deal with the consequences."
Freedom doesn't mean I can drive a hummer and let my kids deal with the consequences to the environment.
Freedom doesn't mean I can shop at a store who uses sweat shop labor and treats it's employees like shit so I can save a few pennies at the expense of the happiness of others.
Freedom doesn't mean I can throw 1 million pieces of Styrofoam and plastic into the ground and expect someone else to deal with it.
Freedom means we all work together and make sacrifices so that we can go from having a good country to having the best country.
Freedom isn't about what's best for ME.
Freedom is about what's best for EVERYONE.

A MODERN PRACTICAL SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF GUN VIOLENCE
Through the use of simple, already existing technology we can all but wipe out the problem of gun violence in our great country.
With just a few simple laws passed all guns can be equipped with this amazing new technology and older guns can be retro-fitted.
This is nano-technology and can fit easily into the handle of ANY gun.
These proposals simultaneously protect YOUR safety and YOUR Second Amendment Rights.
Here are the proposals.
1) Guns can only be fired by their owner.
How?
A wristband is worn which uses a microchip to "unlock" the gun so it can be fired ONLY by the person wearing the wristband.
If you want your entire family to be able to fire the same gun then simply have each member wear a wristband synced to your gun.
In the event of a mass-shooting the gun could be remotely locked to prevent further loss of life.
2) Guns contain a GPS.
Isn't it a good idea that we know where our guns are at all times?
Combining solutions 1 and 2 we know WHO fired the gun and WHERE.
Not a problem for a law abiding citizen at a firing range or out hunting.
Only a problem for murderous thugs.
American citizens win!!
3) Guns are equipped with a small camera under the barrel that begins recording when the safety is off.
Now police have access to EXACTLY what the shooter was seeing when the gun was fired.
This should clear up any debates over self-defense cases.
These are three simple solutions that would make life easier for responsible gun owners and make life extremely difficult for people wanting to use guns to harm innocent citizens.
As with all advances in technology there would be a black market for guns that have been disabled of this Thug-Proof Technology.
Anyone caught with guns that have been altered would face severe penalties.
Now please, shoot holes in my plan. <----see what I did there?
If you cannot find fault with it then SHARE this idea and let's raise awareness so we can all PROTECT The Second Amendment to the Constitution of The United States of America without the constant threat to American citizens by lawless thugs who give guns a bad name.
Thank you.
