Clipped from the large newscast.

1. I must agree with Reagan's remarks there on guns

I think it is shameless for certain people to use asassinations to demand more gun laws, and to do so almost right after the killings have taken place too.

2. I agree with Reagan's remarks too, you shouldn't be a criminal just for carrying a gun,

or owning one. While I love Bill Clinton him pushing through gun control laws ended up hurting our party big time. Although the right would paint all of us in the Democratic Party as gun grabbers, I think we are just about evenly divided on the issue. Liberals tend to support individual liberties and oppose violence; so some in the party think gun control will reduce the violence and others value their individual freedoms more.

3. That's ironic, considering he gets shot by Hinckley four months later

n/t.

4. Correct. Guns don't kill people.

Guns don't kill people, bullets kill people.

Consider me a bullet grabber :)

You can have as many guns as you want. Build a huge gun depot. We'll keep the ammo under lock and key for you and dole it out to 50 bullets a month. Hehe. We will keep a registry of those who buy bullets.

Nowhere does the second amendment give anyone the right to own bullets.

Seriously. You want to hunt? Fine. Use a rifle, not an automatic rifle, nor a machine gun. You want to have a rifle in the house for self defense? fine. As for small concealable handguns we should limit the amount of ammunition someone can put in those concealable handguns.

5. That's all right. Ammunition can be home made.

Tee hee.
