That's the way I took it. Besides, even if a person goes through one of those C&C courses, it doesn't necessarily mean the person is competant enough to use a firearm. as I'm sure there's unstable people who own them. The recent mass shootings and the gang violence in Chicago is probably proof enough that not everyone has the metal capacity to be in possession of a firearm, but I don't know what the aswer for that would be, but I know it's not gun control laws.
Maybe if before people were given a permit, they could go through a phsycological evaluation of some type?

I think not too long ago, some lawmaker/s were trying to make ammunition manufacturers place a serial number on the projectile, through legislation, so if it was used in a crime, it could be traced to a seller, then traced to the purchaser, I think that's a good idea.

Pretty much, It's on page 3 of the "How to be a right winger" handbook, it states:

"Any time there is a scandal that does, or possibly involves a republican, always deflect and say it's the democrats. It does not matter how much evidence, or if it's been proven to be a republican beyond all doubt, never take responsibility, always deflect."

Oh, I get it. The poster wanted to make everyone aware that there may be some unbalanced individuals in our midst.

For those who needed that little bit of "enlightenment."

What's the point of doing it? Seriously, what is gained?

Odd, that's the rules you play by.

OK, this morning on the way to church I heard on CPR (Colorado Public Radio) that police surveillance videos show that a shot was fired into the Obama HQ. I cannot find a link to this story. However, it is hardly surprising that there would be surveillance cameras focused on the HQ. At least we can discount the nitwitty idea that this was a stray bullet from another crime, or the like.

Sorry man, but you've confused the books!
