		<description>Kensgirl,

I couldn&#039;t have said it better myself. BTW, why is Commissioner Gordon pointing at the only legible words on the map in the newly released &#039;The Dark Knight Returns&#039; movie. It&#039;s the scene right before they split up to track down the bomb that is in 1 of the 3 trucks roaming Gotham.  Those words he points to are Sandy Hook.</description>

		<description>The objection to a background check is not to the check itself. I am all for it. It is an objection to the personnel information obtained and databased and used to profile you when the powers that be see fit to it.

This argument about muskets and blunderbusses is ridiculous. Those where the weapons of that day and were comparable to the military weapons of that day. Read the Second amendment and understand what it is and then understand that the first amendment is secured by the second amendment. Lets see if any of you can comprehend that. And yes the Constitutional rights are absolute. When you all understand the difference between Unalienable rights and Inalienable rights then and only then can you begin to understand the Constitution. I apologize if I come across as but head, I do not mean to. I am just tired of everyone being lost in the weeds on this issue.</description>

		<description>Cop Killer bullets, every bullet is designed to kill wouldn&#039;t be much of a bullet if it didn&#039;t. Sandy Hook was a tragedy and my heart and prayers go out every night to the parents as I continue to pray for them and others. So by your statement above It seems to me that you have totally missed the CRIMINAL issue. There are way to many anti gun laws on the books today and a thousand more laws or an outright ban will make no difference to a CRIMINAL. Next time you are robbed at gun point do you think shouting at that criminal &#039;GUNS ARE ILLEGAL&#039; is going to make him lay down his weapon and apologize to you. No I didn&#039;t think so. Until we start talking about the fact of why the laws we have on the books are rarely enforced and that if we as congress has just recently stated that we just don&#039;t have the man power to enforce them all. What good will more do. This is POLITICAL and is an attempt to disarm the American people.</description>

		<description>I for one will not be voting for Manchin again. He is a typical politician, he votes with the political  winds. He jumped out front on this because he thought the &quot;political winds&quot; would change. He was wrong and had to back off some of his statements. This simply is not honesty. I want my Senator to be honest and forthright.</description>

		<description>Universal Background Checks is not the solution for the issue because background check or not is not and has never been the onset of episode in gun violence, gun deaths, gun tragedies, and the heartache of America!  

The truth is even if someone has never committed crimes in the past and has in the past been determined to mentally stable and psychologically healthy, it does not mean that this person will not and could never harm, hurt, or murder other people! 

So, there you have it; “universal background checks is useless, unnecessary, and inappropriate to solve the nature of the problem in gun violence, gun deaths, and gun tragedies!”

		<description>Got to agree.  Magazine capacity does not facilitate mass murder.  Gun free zones facilitate mass murder.  All but two incidents where more than 3 people have died since 1950 have been in places guns were banned (see John Lott&#039;s study).

What a large magazine does enable is something called &quot;suppressive fire.&quot;  That is, you can intimidate your adversary into getting himself behind cover where he can&#039;t see you.  Then, when he sticks his head out, you still have rounds in the gun, available to shoot him.  

Suppressive fire is potentially useful in a close-quarters encounter against well-armed or numerically superior adversaries, e. g. looters, soldiers (foreign or domestic) or police officers.  These are exactly the groups the second amendment was intended to protect us against.</description>

		<description>it doesnt matter what congress does. in march the un small arms ban comes up and there is global support for a ban on all guns except single shot hunting rifles. id like to hear more about the un small arms ban as the united states being a charter member of the united nations. i think the united states could gain global support by showing change about gun ownership in this country.</description>
