I just sent the NRA a message to stand firm, no compromise! I'll be contacting congress members in the coming days too. I think we need some pro-gun legislation introduced.

"including handguns and shotguns, in addition to rifles. She would decrease from two to one the number of cosmetic features on a gun to have it be considered an “assault weapon.” This means that if a gun has just one item like a pistol grip or bayonet lug, then it is illegal"

If it has a pistol grip then it's illegal? So all handguns will be illegal??

Of course not, only the semi-automatic handguns with detachable magazines!

Lets use PURE Emotion and ZERO facts to force this down the American people. I see they are using Police officers as background for the phot op. How many are just actors dressed as police?

They still say it is about HUNTING! Grrrrr.

Gun control is not an issue of constitution it's an issue of conscience - Dick Durbin
Most telling quote from what I've watched so far. I had to turn it off because I was getting increasingly vexed with each new speaker.

Every single speaker also kept using dead children as pawns and claiming to be in the position to know that this would never have happened had they had this ban in place.

Oh gees.


How many more times are the Dems going to dance in the blood of children. If I had $1 for every time someone has mentioned "Newtown" or "Children" I might be able to afford ammo....if I could find it.
