Cheney opens door to tighter gun restrictions

[RamboLiberal]

Former Vice President Dick Cheney, a staunch gun advocate, says tighter weapons regulations might be "appropriate" to prevent another tragedy like the Arizona mass shootings that left six people dead and a congresswoman seriously wounded.

Cheney, an avid hunter, said he is "willing to listen to ideas" on how to better control the purchase and use of firearms.

"Whether or not there's some measure there in terms of limiting the size of the magazine that you can buy to go with a semiautomatic weapon — we’ve had that in place before. Maybe it’s appropriate to re-establish that kind of thing, but I think you do have to be careful obviously," Cheney told NBC's Jamie Gangel, national correspondent for "TODAY."

"We’re looking for ways to make sure this never happens again, but you’ve still got to go back to the fact that it looks like the cause of this particular tragedy was this one individual who apparently has very serious mental problems," Cheney said in the interview, parts of which aired Wednesday.

1. I would seriously doubt there are very many people of either party who

would care WHAT Cheney thinks about anything.

Maybe I'm wrong.

5. Bah humbug on that

Hundreds of thousands of rounds are shot in recreation for every 1 that is used in a crime.

What right do you want to give up?

9. What differene would that make?

Are you suggesting that the police would have discretion as to whom that sell that is over and above that had by a normal commercial outlet? Are you syuggesting that traditional commercial outlets are not complying with the law?
