My grandmother always said an “ex” is a has-been, and a “spert” is a drip under pressure.

Can we get some pro-gun experts to balance the forum? After all we want a fair and balanced dialog.

How come we don’t have WMD being passed around – it’s because we take that very very seriously. We need to take weapons of war in our civilian life very seriously. Not even doing the checks is a road to nowhere.

I’ve got some ideas which Moran won’t necessarily like but I don’t want this “diverse panel of experts” to turn into a Second Amendment railroad job.

Then when there’s an emergency, we call someone with a gun.

So much for a positive impact. Check what the Aussies themselves have to say about it post legislation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8HDDpReVlI

It is because the bad guys know that no one in the house has a gun. People are being beaten and robbed and killed in Australia since guns have been outlawed, and it’s all happening in their own homes !

I ask, who are the militia? They consist of now of the whole people, except a few public officers. But I cannot say who will be the militia of the future day. If that paper on the table gets no alteration, the militia of the future day may not consist of all classes, high and low, and rich and poor. . . .”

Especially when we heard the response to Graham’s question about why known violators on NICS checks are not prosecuted: “We’re not going to get into a paper chase.” Really? Is it better to wait until it’s a manhunt for a murderer instead?
