Stallone is for the AWB. I'm against the AWB. There, cancelled out. :)

I object on different grounds. If we accept a tax on ammo, isn't that like saying that guns are the problem with school shootings? And isn't school safety everyone's problem? Why would responsible gun owners be singled out to pay for something that every taxpayer has a stake in?

I also am in the market for a .22 mag. I've got a Marlin 25MN and just love it, but want another to leave un-scoped. I looked at GunBroker, usually they're swimming in them, but now you can practically hear the crickets. A half dozen lever guns and that was about it.

We shouldn't be as concerned about our rights being taken, as having them given away in the name of security.

I think we're missing something more sinister here. In order for guns to be insured, they will need to be known to the insurance companies. Doesn't that amount to registration?

Of course it is largely a partisan issue, but as with everything political it is the middle that usually determines which way things go. The either/or approach is a loser, and gun owners will be the ones that lose.

It does do good. It shows the legislators on the fence that they have support if they want to buck the tide.

Well that is just wrong. People leaning left enjoy individual freedom and take responsibility just like anyone else. And why would you assume that people on the left all support the president? Or that supporting the president means that you support him on every single issue? There are a...

It's a Facebook page...anyone can "like" it and join the conversation. Why not occupy the occupy page? :)

I don't understand how a legislative proposal could be "secret".

I'm not sure who is talking down there, but the distinction to be made is that Clinton is talking about political strategy regarding getting re-elected, the ideology of gun rights doesn't seem to be part of his discussion.

Apparently it is being silent while others tee off on liberals.

It's OK to be a left leaning, gun owning THR member as long as you know your place.

This attitude doesn't help at all. There are many pro gun Democrats, why must we always tar every group with the same brush? They are hearing "gun control" from a large part of their base and are responding. Rather that call them the devil we should be encouraging them to vote their true...
