The George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin Travesty

100s of people are murdered every weekend in the states and nobody knows there names.

Or sure, a life is only an emotional appeal. You conservatives tell us all the time how sacred life is, unless its taken by a firearm...than it's less than a statistic. Here's the statistic.

Accidental firearm deaths accounted for 851 funerals. It may seem a small number considering the total deaths for the year exceeded 2.5 million, but if your family member was among them it would have been a tragic loss. (From http://www.policymic.com/articles/21...uns-in-the-u-s ).

Those are killed by gangs (many on the street of Chicago and DC which had a long term ban on guns to no avail). Outlawing guns will not stop those murders. Criminals do not abide by the law.

So your plan is repealing the 2nd amendment.

Again, no one wants to outlaw guns. Stick to the point. Making guns harder to get in Wisconsin and Iowa may indeed diminish the murder rate in Chicago. How about, closing the gun show loophole? Why make it so easy to buy guns and ammunition over the internet?

Did you try to buy a gun online? Do you know how hard it is?

So why you keep attacking guns and gun owners trying to limit their freedoms and the way they can use their weapons?

Federal law and interstate commerce statutes apply then. I doubt anyone wants to deal with that unless they really have to.

It would be silly to attack guns, they're inanimate objects. Putting restrictions on firearms is not attacking gun owners. That's like saying traffic laws are an attack on cars and car owners. The point of gun laws is to reduce risk to gun owners and the general populace.
