Fact @GSDlady: If the “victims” in the shootings you quote (all of which were committed, by the way, by people who were, or whose parents were, registered democrats…that’s a verifiable fact) had been armed, it’s a FACT that there would have been less deaths. There’s a difference, @twister, between being a law-abiding, registered carrier of a fire arm, and a “gun-toting fool” which is what you would be if you could qualify for a CHL. So which is it…criminal past, or mental illness that keeps you from packing? Oh, and @210bro…find me a statistic, don’t just spew BS. And you can call anyone you want to when I draw my .45, because I’ll have drawn it in just cause. If you’re the target, however, I suggest you have the morgue on speed-dial because it’s probably the only call you’ll have time to make. Don’t threaten my home, property, or family or that of my neighbors. I don’t need “the element of surprise” because I can hit what I am at the first time. Oh, and @LindaB, you are 100% correct. NRA people carry their guns, instead of leaving them in their cars.

That's funny. When I read the headline here, my first thought was we already knew big government was looking to steal from law abiding gun owning Americans.

thats what you get for being a tonto...Advertisin to thee hole worlde - Hello everybodys! Looke at mee I own a gun!

your .45 won't do anything. why, because unless you have it drawn ready to fire it's pretty much useless against the element of suprise. if you do have it drawn and ready, i'm calling the ATF, FBI, SAPD, County, CIA, Nat'l Guard, DPS, Homeland Security... They'll fix you right up.

NRA people never leave guns in their cars....

Fact: Shooters in all these events did have guns. GSDlady...just so we are clear, "Shooters"(people), had the guns. The guns themselves didn't do the shooting.

210bro can protect himself with his corn dog. I'll use my .45. Thanks.

The only sticker on my car is the one with the license plate info where I paid too much.

Don't underestimate that teens and young people also commit these kinds of crimes. A lot of them know their dads or grandparents leave guns in vehicles or around the house and it's easy pickings. I've seen that play out in real life.

well Talula, maybe the liberals should start putting signs in their yards that say "neighbor has heart condition, bad vision and a gun collection". Or "neighbor is at work and neglects his wife to watch Hannity". anyone can play the label game! but at least you're doing what your told by drive by NRA propaganda.
