The Second Amendment assures Americans the right to bear arms. But in light of the latest shooting tragedy at a Christian college in Oakland, voices are being raised about ways to limit gun violence. One idea might be ammo control, which could blunt the ability of killers to reload—as James Huberty did July 18, 1984, when he fatally shot 21 people at a San Ysidro McDonald’s before being felled by a SWAT sniper. Huberty reportedly used 257 rounds of ammunition. Should ammo be limited?

Can't send messages to Dad because he's now deceased, but my dad was very wise...He'd say things…Read More like: "You can get arrested for what you say, but not what you think!" - or - "Take care of your feet, and they'll take care of you!" My dad wasn't much for words, but he was always a stable figure growing up and was loyal to mom throughout the years. Nowadays, that in and of itself is honorable! Thank you Dad! In Loving Memory...

Guess you missed it, but I doubt WE will ever have an intelligent conversation on the subject since you think solar and peaker plants go hand in hand.

Why did you ask him about the Klan does he sound like a Democrat?
It is a Constitutional right to own a gun. Now please supply a link or some sort of evidence of your statement that " most weapons are used on the owners".
Once again, the 1%ers would just get richer.
Why should cost prohibit the poor from protecting themselves? Or do you think only rich should be able to do so? And no, no one "has" to act on it. But we all have the choice to. You do like the right to choose don't you ?
As we all know, anti-gun liberals commit a larger percentage of crimes and actually have IQs that are 30% lower than conservatives. I don't have any real data to support that, but I like how it sounds.
and grovian, or whoever the hell you are..poor people have the same right to self-protection that rich people do..you don't get to decide what's worth protecting..the people get to decide that.. at least, they do on THIS planet..admittedly, i'm not sure how that works on tyour planet.. doug
"If you want to make a change go for it. but if you can't make a change------------- change your attitude" The only thing I am scared of is nuts like you who run off at the mouth waniting to take away my constitutional rights.
Prohibition is the only way. Where oh where did the 18th Amendment go?

And, yes, I can absolutely tell you "what poor people have that they need guns for". Excellent grammar, by the way. First of all, right around 50% of poor people are women. Everything that I wrote in the previous paragraph applies to them. Second, poor people tend to live in poor neighborhoods. Do you know what happens more in poorer neighborhoods than it does in more wealthy ones? Crime. Again, having a gun pointed at them will make quite a few criminals rethink the person holding that gun as a target. You do have the option of taking your liberal (both political and literal senses, I assume) attitude and applying it in this way: to each, his/her own, whether it's a gun, a stash of aluminum cans, a car on blocks, free-range chickens or gender-neutral child-rearing.
I'll drink to that., hic.
Like in the old days, wouldn't you just love to see Nancy Pelosi and Paul Ryan duel on the White House lawn?.
