(583 posts)that line seems to say it all.
I am in full support of background checks, and waiting periods, before you just hand over a gun to an angry person or a convicted felon, but that is up to the states to make those rules.
If you don't agree with the laws in your state, you can to move to another one, that's the great thing about living here.
I also support hefty jail sentences for anyone in possession of a gun who isn't properly licensed. If they let out all the marijuana related prisoners, we should have plenty of room for the people that actually belong there.
I think trying to get the federal government to outlaw guns is a losing battle, not going to happen, because we have that pesky line in the constitution "the right of THE PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
My two cents.
