		<description>Fetchit you are so right shotguns can cause more damage then any other firearm out there the so called hunting weapon.And in NY State there is no licences for shotguns so If any of these gun bills pass that will be the next step to outlaw these dangerous weapons.And here is a question for the consultant, THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS,SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED ARMS MEANING ANY TYPE OF FIREARM,THE problem is not NEW YORK STATE gun laws this is a good system the best in the country where a pistol license does not expire until revoked this is a good system.The problem lies in other states where you walk into a gunshop buy a handgun and then turn around a year later and sell the gun that is when it ends up in the wrong hands. All States should follow NY STATE licensing program.But this will not happen if any of the new proposed gun laws are enacted into law,if this happens NY will be a joke,And no i am not a member of the nra or any other orgainization AND YES I AM A DEMOCRAT AND I VOTE AND LIKE MYSELF AND MANY OTHER DEMS ARE SAYING IF THESE BILLS PASS THEN NEXT ELECTION MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN STRAIGHT ACROSS</description>

		<description>The hard right has marginalized and regionalez the republican party which can now count on as solid
only 10 states accounting for 93 electoral votes
republicans had the chance to change the political
landscape forever but there insistance on social
positions that were religion based antagonized
the entire rest of the nation.,...in the assembly
gun bills what is the problem with the following

1.help police investigate illegal firearms,

3require child-proof devices on guns, and \
4. banning advanced firearms and ammunition used to kill police officers, according to the Assembly.
5.require that semiautomatic pistols manufactured or delivered to any licensed dealer in New York be capable of microstamping ammunition. Microstamping means information that identifies the make, model and serial number of a gun is “stamped” onto a cartridge as the weapon is fired.

		<description>ANY GUN BILL IS AN ATTEMPT TO TAKE AWAY THE SECOND AMENDMENT? From the blog author of that comment, to Steve T. and his rightist threats to anyone who doesn&#039;t share his views, is it any wonder that moderate Republicans and Independents want no part of a Republican Party that kisses up to the radical fringe. You can sit in you house in the woods and lock-and-load, and wait for Concord II to start, but most reasonable people are not afraid of a leftist-liberal takeover of America. 

If we&#039;re afraid of anything, it&#039;s you right-wing nuts, who love guns, who want to dictate religion to us, who don&#039;t want reasonable programs to help people, and who angry, hugely angry about everything. I saw people having Tea Party in Texas and Alaska, where they have the most conservative state governments anywhere, and they&#039;re anti-govt. The Texas Gov. talks about secession (I bet he didn&#039;t talk that when the two Texas Bushes were in the White House).

Rightists and Leftists both have their intesne ideology-first attitudes. But the Hard Left is pretty weak and small nationwide...this ain&#039;t 1968 anymore. But the Right-Wing has gotten huge, owning Fox News and talk radio...and it&#039;s no wonder that the folks in the middle 20% of the nation are embracing Democrats, for all their failures, in recent elections. 

Democrats, Independents and Moderate Republicans - even traditional Conservatives - fear the new-Right and their angry orthodoxy. That&#039;s where Nazi America will spring from.</description>

		<description>As a mother, I believe that Doug, Woode, and others have made some very good arguments on why gun control is bad - it simply doesn&#039;t work - DC, Chicago, New York. They are on top when it comes down to gun control regulations -yet you are probably more likely to get shot in them than, let&#039;s say, Virginia. In my hometown (in Connecticut-not the most conservative state) almost every homeowner has a gun - there hasn&#039;t been a murder there in over 45 years (probably more-but I have to go by my memory) and break-in&#039;s are vitually non-existent (I haven&#039;t heard of one, but seeing many leave their doors unlocked, I wouldn&#039;t count it out).

On another note, my son has a black-belt, knows how to disarm/use a dagger, how to use a sword, and how to shoot a rifle(might be a shot-gun - he&#039;s taking his SATs as I write) and I am thrilled that he has the basic knowledge on how to use these weapons.

Bottom-line the laws on the books here in NY aren&#039;t helping its citizens, only hindering them. When criminals have no fear of going into a home to rob it then we are the hunted. I can&#039;t tell you how violated I felt when someone tried to walk into my house-&quot;I need directions&quot; but he didn&#039;t knock or ring the bell, he tried to walk right in. He had no fear of what he might encounter. 

If you have to worry about getting your head shot off before you enter someone&#039;s home - that&#039;s a risk I&#039;d like to take, rather than having criminals feeling free to attack us simply because they are certain we don&#039;t have the knowledge or weapons to fight back.</description>

		<description>For you to say we can not become germany you are a very naive person.  You must understand history, because if you don&#039;t know it, it will repeat itself.  What happened in germany can happen any where.

More guns on the streets the less the crime rate will be.

Look at the counties throughout the United States that have a high percentage of guns.  In these counties you have less crime.</description>

		<description>Con&#039;s reasoning sounds valid to me.  I think it&#039;s reasonable to most people except the rabid right and the lilac left.  The prior says &#039;anything goes,&#039; and the latter say, &#039;nothing goes.&#039;</description>

		<description>In Nazi Germany the government took all of the guns away from the people.  When the people had no weapons to defend themselves they started the Holocaust.  I am not saying that will happen here.  But unless you follow the U.S. constitution, you never know.</description>

		<description>the consultant writes:

&quot;you can bet if the founders were around and saw the number of guns proliferating as well as the assault weapons they would have made it abundantly clear in the language of the amendment that it was only in connection with a standing militia that the right to bear arms pertains..&quot;

Not at all. They intended that the citizens, of which the militia was composed, be enabled to keep their military arms in order to bear them upon call, and in their own defense when necessary.

You really need to study the writings of the Founders more closely, consultant.

&quot;that is what they were saying in the context of the times&quot;

The individual liberty s enumerated in the Bill of Rights are certainly not confined to or limited by &#039;the times&#039;-if that was the case we would not be enjoying our First Amendment rights by posting our opinions on an electronic medium.

dDenying us our Second Amendment rights is your intent, consultant. The politics are just incidental.</description>

		<description>your second amendment rights are not the issue..they
are what the hard right uses to obfuscate the issue..you
can bet if the founders were around and saw the number of
guns proliferating as well as the assault weapons they
would have made it abundantly clear in the language of
the amendment that it was only in connection with a
standing militia that the right to bear arms pertains..
that is what they were saying in the context of the times
but it has nothing to do with whether or not i am an
independent and it has everything to do with whether that
position along with a couple of others is marginalizing
the republican party</description>

are what the hard right uses to obfuscate the issue..you<br />
can bet if the founders were around and saw the number of<br />
guns proliferating as well as the assault weapons they<br />
would have made it abundantly clear in the language of<br />
the amendment that it was only in connection with a<br />
standing militia that the right to bear arms pertains..<br />
that is what they were saying in the context of the times<br />
but it has nothing to do with whether or not i am an<br />
independent and it has everything to do with whether that<br />
position along with a couple of others is marginalizing<br />
the republican party</p>

		<description>consultant if your an independant as you say above, then you should be more concernd about LOSING our rights instead of saying the Republicans are pushing you away by Speaking the TRUTH. Your response above is spoken like a true Left liberal, when you cant answer the ? or know your wrong &quot;Change the subject&quot; or Attack.  The 2nd Amend and our Rights are the subject here not the Repubs or the Vast Right wing conspiracy pushing independants away.  
     Everyone should remember that after Registration comes Confiscation.Look back in History Nazi Germany, USSR, England,Australia any communist country.See where Gun control got them.Notice that People of England Australia are called SUBJECT not CITIZEN. All should remeber that another and probably the main reason  our founding Fathers inserted the 2nd Amend was to protect the Citizens of our Country from the take over by a Tyranical Govt. What the Govt is trying to do know is in line with what our founding fathers were looking to protect us from. Losing our rights 1 bye 1.

    The 2nd Amendmant makes all others Possible !!!</description>

		<description>Assault weapons and enforced religion.  Great recipe for incoherent thinking.  Republicans will never capture the thoughtful, unaffiliated voter with that concoction.  They gain the lunatic fringe at the polls and lose the other 80%.  One can be conservative without being a total, self-defeating fool.</description>

		<description>The Supreme Court has ruled that the 2nd Amendment covers the right of individual citizens to own firearms commonly in use. Right now the semi-auto AR 15 assaulot style firearms is the most commonly sold weaon in the US. Assault style weapons are used in less than 1% of gun crimes. Oh, consultant the 2nd Amendment is not about hunting, get an education.</description>

		<description>Leftists suck. For those of you who voted for gun controlling anti-American marxist bastards--you get what you deserve. You also get what you deserve when patriotic Americans who believe in the founding principles of this country slap you upside your silly unarmed heads. The rest of us, who exhibit a bit of common sense and self sufficience, don&#039;t deserve what you have foisted upon us. Thank your good fortune that rightists aren&#039;t violently inclined out of control knuckleheads like you, or you would be a rapidly dieing breed. When the revolution happens, it will be brief. Leftists have no stones, and will capitulate quickly even though the squealing you emit will be very loud.</description>

		<description>Law Enforcement have every right to carry fully automatic weapons as they do and always will, Law abiding citizens do have this right as well. For self defense a SEMI-automatic firearm in MOST situations will suffice a single shot firearm typically does not especially in situations where more than one assailant is involved. As all WELL educated trained (whether official or not) and most of all RESPONSIBLE firearm owners understand (especially in urban areas) that an automatic weapon can do quite a bit of unintentional damage. This does not however provide anybody or organization the right to prohibit the !lawful and responsible citizens! of the LAND OF THE FREE(to do what they&#039;re told) and HOME OF THE (once, truly) BRAVE from owning automatic weapons, not for the personal defense of one but the civilians defense of ALL AMERICANS as well as the DOCUMENTS DEFINING the FOUNDATION of a TRUE and REAL DEMOCRACY not one of parties who polarize the people of the nation into two factions who argue on all points not necessarily understanding these issues thoroughly... I am guilty of this as well as many Americans are, Democrats and Republicans included. Many anti-gun arguments are romanticized, and i have seen many pro-gun arguments who share similar &quot;emotional&quot; qualities as their opposition...but the three arguments i have found in my research and education(which will never be complete, whether it be in a scholastic setting -Mech. Engr.- or just the casual setting)...

1) History is the best tool for understanding political intentions as well as the benefits, but most importantly the consequences of policies.

2) History has always and will always repeat itself, UNLESS the PEOPLE (NOT THE GOVERNMENT) take responsibility for guiding and governing their own future... by taking responsibility in making sure that they encourage and inspire their children to be successful and eager to learn new things always, encouraging a strong work ethic, (give the kid some age-respecting chores) and for god sakes don&#039;t be afraid punish them when they do something wrong. 

3) The competent man learns from his own mistakes. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others. 

THE FOUNDING FATHERS WERE VERY WISE PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTOOD FIRST HAND WHAT HUMAN RIGHTS ARE NECESSARY FOR, AS WELL AS WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A FREE STATE TO EXIST AS JUST THAT...FREE.

-These words are not to provoke fear anger or hatred, but to promote education, a personal resistance to conform (to not believe what you hear but to understand it and use your own research, self-education, and sound judgment), as well as a personal responsibility of ones own decisions, and responsibility of the community to serve and uphold the very basis of which this nation (of the PEOPLE, by the PEOPLE and for the PEOPLE) was founded on. The time and date may change  the countries circumstances may become different, but it does not change the fact that the people of this country share a responsibility to continue its greatness, I suggest turning off the TV for a couple hours a day and learn how to do something useful, not only will you become more experienced in whatever you choose too understand but you may learn something for yourself in the process.</description>

		<description>Who in hell in their right mind wants  Uzis or an AKs floating around? Hunters and &quot;sports-people&quot; don&#039;t need them.   Even if you&#039;re an exemplary law abiding person, if you think you&#039;re going to defend yourself against government troops or an invading army by having one of these things in your garage, you&#039;re dead wrong and dead, too.  Next thing, you&#039;ll want Sherman Tanks on the front lawn. If things get that bad, join the Army or move to Switzerland where felons (bankers) have learned how to rob without weapons.</description>

		<description>Well if you think about it places for high crime and such cant have guns legaly, well easily any way. So what your saying consultant is that thoes places need to make it harder what about chicago or dc?? They have also got high crime and no guns still. Places that have concealed weapon permits are much lower in crime. Not just small towns you hippie. Look at all the fbi data you can and look at internation data on autralia and britain. Oh yeah and notice that knife crime in new york is up 50% in 08. Your trying to put feelings into it and its all logic that you need to apply look at the numbers you douche.</description>

		<description>It is interesting to note that not one of the proposed gun control bills would apply to the police.  If these proposed changes are so &quot;common sense&quot; and wouldn&#039;t affect any law-abiding person, why exempt the police?</description>

		<description>&quot;...it is certainly not illogical to say that law enforcement is entitled to carry a weapon superior to that carried by a person in the business of breaking the law…&quot;

No one said anything of the kind, and yes it is totally illogical, as is your nonsensical discussion of the 2nd Amendment, which, again, no one has brought up but you. Look at your language: Law Enforcement is &quot;entitled&quot;? Have you heard of &quot;Heller&quot;? The Bill of Rights? 

The Constitution is about &quot;Inalienable Rights&quot;, not rights that the goverment, comprised of human beings, can give and take at will, like some fickle tyrant. That is why Obama doesn&#039;t like it, since it delineates &quot;negative rights&quot; to the government. Obama, being a Saul Alinsky trained Marxist, detests the Constitution.

And, in many states, usually the ones with the lowest violent crime statistics, you CAN get an Uzi or an AK, and in some states, they can actually be fully automatic! These weapons are owned by law abiding citizens and are not &quot;on the street&quot; and do not contribute to crime. And the only people who see them as a bigger threat than the guns in the hands of criminals are Democrats.</description>

by a person in the business of breaking the law...
but in any event..the constitutional argument that the
second amendment permits gun ownership is what is flawed
outside of the context of a militia there is no
right to bear arms...so lets not go there..lets just
agree to make gun possession a privilege not a right
which has to be carefully supervised...that is where
most americans come down ..you can get a gun..if
your backround is checked and it is registered...
you cannot get an ak or an uzi..</description>
