Just fresh from a recent win by gun control supporters to require all gun sales to go through universal background checks, Gabby Giffords is saying that UBCs are not enough - gun bans and mandated storage requirements are a must as well.

For anyone who thinks that UBCs are the real goal here, note that Oregon has barely had their UBCs for six months - and they are already back at the table demanding more and worse gun laws before even attempting an honest assessment of whether the laws they just passed even have an effect.
 
I was wondering when this was gonna be mentioned. It was all over the news a couple of days ago.
The word on the street is the Oregon representatives were not eager to touch it this election season.

But, as usual it was touted as another important "STEP"
I don't like when they use the word "step", step means there is more to follow.
 
The goal, for those who don't get it, is onerous and confiscatory regulation leading to the elimination of fireams from our society.
 
She wants to turn the USA into Australia because we all know violent crime stopped when all the guns where taken away from law abiding citizens. Common sense gun laws means to liberal gun grabbers that only police and the military have guns.
 
Ok folks here is my 2 cents in a nutshell.
The gun grabbers can not wrap their warped minds around a simple concept.
That concept is the stupid, crazy and /or people determined to do harm can not be stopped by a law or set of laws.
 
Yes but that's what we are told... That all the guns were taken away in other developed countries.

Well, maybe not ALL the guns; but Australian-style gun control here in the states would result in unbelievable amounts of guns being taken away and massive regulation of firearms ownership on a level most Americans can't conceive of... and it didn't even buy the Australians any relief from the constant demand for more gun control. Even now, they are pushing for more gun restrictions in Western Australia.
 
One can understand that a person of Giffords' experience might be disposed to heavy state regulation of the sort of device that injured her.

Elie Wiesel, who spent time as a teenager locked up in a German camp, was not happy to see Germany reunited after the wall fell.

William F Buckley Jr., whose wife died from complications associated with cigarette smoking, wrote in justification of heavy regulation of cigarettes after his wife passed.

Honorable people can express themselves on points of public interest even where their expression mostly appears to reflect a very personal experience. That does not mean that should we should mistake their expressions for well reasoned public policy arguments.
 
Being shot has been known to color one's opinions about being shot.

I could understand that, except, that's NOT what she's doing. The "device" that injured her was a human being who CHOSE to shoot her! NOT THE GUN THAT PERSON USED, or any gun.

Not your gun, and not my gun.

A fear of being shot isn't analogous.

Elie Wiesel wasn't put in a camp by the modern german state, but agents of the prior entity, and William Buckley's wife wasn't killed by cigarettes, but her habit of smoking them.

One can understandably develop less than completely reasonable antipathies from a personal experience. William Buckley spent his entire adult life arguing the case for limitations on state power, but couldn't quite bring himself to apply that to cigarettes. Elie Wiesel knew intellectually, and admitted, that a sense of collective german guilt was wrong, but he couldn't quite view germans as just another people.

We can have regard for the people, but acknowledge that some of their opinions aren't just personal -- they are merely personal.
 
44AMP- you hit the nail on the head for sure. That is the one thing that keeps the anti's going. They can't understand that the gun did not do it. They live in this fantasy world were if we ban guns all violence will stop. There is no changing their mind. I'm big , your small, I'm right your wrong and there's nothing you can do about it attitude.
 
Have any of you watched a recent video of Gabby Giffords speaking? I have. She has made remarkable progress for someone who was shot in the brain, but she can barely string together enough words to form a sentence. IMHO, anything she said (or, more likely, gave out as a press release) was written by her traitorous husband, the former Navy officer who swore an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. He has now become one of the enemies of the Constitution, and the scurrilous skunk shamelessly uses his wife as the front person because of the sympathy factor.
