The FAST Approaching Gun Ban

[yodajazz]

When is comes to guns in the U.S., stories of stupidity, craziness and abuse abound. There's a new story everyday that lends evidence that the very presence of guns endangers those in proximity.

Yet, gun ownership in the U.S. is on the decline. From roughly half of all households in 1970 to roughly one third of all households in the present day. Fewer people own guns. Yet gun sales in the U.S. as on the rise. That's because frightened, unpatriotic gun "enthusiasts," fearful of losing their capacity to revolt against the nation they pretend to love, the are stockpiling weapons and ammunition. Manufacturers are happy to put more and more guns into the hands of lethally stupid nuts and more and more dollars into their own pockets.

Hmmm. For a thread entitled "The FAST approaching gun ban", some four months on there doesn't seem to be much in the way of positive progress.

Are the gun lobby's tactics working or is Obama playing a long game?

I think Obama believes everything you've said....guns lying around can simplify tragedy, I've seen it in my personal life.
But there's problems in finger pointing, when you personalize the simple minded, hair trigger yahoo accidentally blowing a hole in your car radio, you're giving the opposition ammo, I believe. Because they'll say "What about abortion? Having it so easily available promotes a generation of kids to gang bang away behind the high school bleachers, and if some simple minded daughter gets knocked up, oh well, she'll just throw that little pink thing in the trash and be back fornicating and taking drugs by tonight"
How can you stick your nose in somebody's business about a gun that may or may not hurt somebody, and then defend the right of a woman to murder her baby?

I guarantee you Obama's been playing an eight year game since day one, and guns and abortion are quick sand bogs he'd rather avoid. -

I can't stand it. That video is sooo depressing. Let these silly chumps be parachuted into Syria in their Bikinis with their wonderful guns. My god.

Bikinis are okay, as long as they cover their hair.

This happened here Monday.

CLEVELAND - A 12-year-old girl called 911 after being shot by her father early Monday morning.
Officers were called to a house on 104th Street near Madison Avenue just before 4 a.m.
The girl's mother, who was waiting outside, told police “my daughter is shot in there and she can't move.
Cleveland police said the father, Robert Arnold, shot himself in the head. His body was found in a second-floor bedroom and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said Arnold used a .380 Colt semi-automatic pistol. Three shell casings were recovered, along with three live rounds on the ground, the police report said.
The mother said her daughter spent the night at her dad's house, but it sounded like the two had a disagreement.
