MRH, under the requirements of the ADA, can't you attend and force them to provide you with resources to understand and participate in the hearings?

This bill, besides making more illegal things that are already illegal, seeks to make it a federal offense to violate a state law: That seems wrong to me. Has this type of thing been done before, making the feds enforcers of state laws?

I like the 3-word responses. Couldn't think of any more in 3 words, but how about a haiku? For my self-defense And the defense of loved ones Gun rides on my hip

Carolyn McCarthy (she of the "shoulder thing that goes up" ban) said that AR15s are "too hard for women to use" and that we should stick with rifles. What does she think an AR15 is, if not a rifle? Biden said that assault weapons are hardly ever used in crimes, but they should be banned...

I received the exact same response from Nelson that gilfo did. I then sent him a more strongly worded snail-mail letter. And I sent him another, fairly short, email in which I urged him to vote no on the new anti-gun legislation being proposed, and closed with this paragraph: "Singling...

We never used to have background checks. Background checks are ineffective -- they don't stop bad guys from getting guns. Background checks impose a lot of cost and require the use of resources for very very little ROI -- resources that could be better used elsewhere. Background checks...

How many reasons would you like as to why this is a terrible idea?

How about this: Mandated reciprocity on all carry permits, and zero gun-free zones In exchange for their continued 1st Amendment right to blather on endlessly while spewing willful lies.

Re: Closing the "gun show loophole" There is no gun show loophole, and we can't concede something that doesn't exist. Period. Further, as far the "private party loophole," well, that's just dumb. Who here thinks the bad guys are going to run background checks on each other when selling and...

+1 to this. (And is exactly why I like Kennesaw's "sensible" gun laws -- no one can call Kennesaw a gun-free zone.) I'm more and more in favor of allowing and encouraging teachers to CCW at school. Even if there's only a handful at any given school on any given day, that's more armed...

The poor are exempted from the requirement to own a gun. They're not prohibited from owning guns. Big difference.

Believe it or not, there are some common-sense gun laws. Kennesaw, Georgia, has two. One says that "every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore." That's sensible, IMO. The other exempts from that requirement people...

Hello all! Welcome back to me! I joined THR ..... well, I just checked my profile, and it will be exactly 10 years ago this Christmas. Odd that I joined on Christmas day, I don't remember that. But I haven't been an active poster for a long time (although I lurk here fairly regularly). I'm a...

I live in southwest Florida about an hour south of Bradenton, and well outside the nearest city limits. We're fortunate to be able to shoot on our own property, or our neighbor's (with standing permission). About mid-morning on Christmas day, we went out to do a little shooting -- my daughter...

Among Florida's pro-gun features that have already been mentioned, don't forget these: 1. Florida was one of the first in the nation to implement shall-issue carry permits. 2. The state has a specific number of days in which it much process your permit application. 3. If your...

Yep. Florida is actually quite pro-active about seeking reciprocity with other states.

Yep, I taught my daughter the same thing. When she was a teen and still living at home, I taught her to call out "Mom, I'm home" or "Hi, Mom, it's me" when entering the house, no matter late it was -- or even how much past her curfew! I got my first self-defense gun when she was about 6 or 7...

When you follow the links and finally get to the actual article in the Journal of Epidemiology, you discover facts like this: The "survey" population sample was people who died in the home, or enh route to the hospital from the home. Living people who have guns in the home were not...

Sheriff Haston sounds like a High Road kind of guy. :)

I take issue with people who focus on "gun violence" rather than violence. Violence is a problem, yes. Violent crimes are a problem. Homicide is a problem. Suicide by firearm is not a gun violence problem, but a suicide problem. Focusing on the criminals' tool of choice in this mannger...
