Politicians and the Hollywood types hide behind armed body guards while screaming for the rest of us to be disarmed,we can't afford body guards.
The cops are never where needed at the time they are most needed.
If you depend on government to take care of you ,you are a fool.

Sadly, I do. There is no resolution to the gun issue that will satisfy both sides. The opposing sides cannot even consider a middle round. Like it or not, we are a militant society to a certain extent. Our government has armed guards, we have massive military, we have armed police forces on all levels, and we have millions of individuals with guns, legal and illegal.

That's not irony, I didn't hear anyone trying to grab guns from police or secret service. Irony would be if the candidates carried guns

But not less hypocritical in terms of protecting our constitutional rights to personal liberty and freedom, or in following Article VI to pledge their oath to the secular Constitution (not the Bible or law of any God).

There should be more education on how to be responsible with firearms. Although wasnt it a year ago when Cheney accidently shot his friend in the face? Where was that kind of gun control?
Guns dont kill people, people kill people in all seriousness.

You have to be a special kind of person to want a life that requires armed protection.
I do see the irony... Maybe that's part of the reason that the gun lobby and weapons industry is so influencial with those special kinds of people.

More evidence to the point that when you have gun control, the only people with guns will be the government and criminals (which are synonymous anyway).

No Democrat wants to take away anybody's right to bear arms.. they just want limits on it, which they should... you have plenty of rights that have limits- of all things there should be some gun control- there are limits to your freedom of speech, your right to assemble, and everything else.. but we should just hand out a gun to ANY Tom, Darrell, or Harry... please

Sure they think they are important. Hitler took away all of Germany's guns before ha started his "putsch".

That's a stupid statement. Gun control is only to make sure criminals & deranged people can't easily get them...... like the VT shooter, for instance. Not so law enforcement officials don't carry or use them.
