Do you want more humble pie or is your stomach full?
China has the SECOND LARGEST economy in the word--it isn't considered a developed nation either. Says a lot that you have to brag about being safer than a country that's in the midst of drug war to feel better about yourself:

Go one..tell me this isn't political....

Obama May Use Executive Order to Grab Guns, Warns Biden
Steve and Amber Mostyn, Texas trial attorneys, said today they are giving $1 million to help get the PAC get started.

Steve Mostyn, one of the top contributors to a super political action committee that backed Obama’s re-election bid, is listed as treasurer of Giffords’s organization, Americans for Responsible Solutions.

Here's a bloomberg link to back that up for those that will not believe the first link:Giffords Anti-Gun Group Gets $1 Million Texas Donation - Bloomberg

Go on... tell us the NRA having lobbyists roaming the halls of Congress (and making MASSIVE donations to campaign funds) isn't political.

But this wasn't about the NRA. I said yesterday it was political and wondered how the Dem administration got her involved. Now we know. "Follow the money".

"Follow the money" is right. The NRA is beholden to gun manufacturers, and the NRA/gun manufacturers have a lot to lose if reforms are instituted. The NRA has puppets in the GOP, and will fight tooth and nail to protect their profits.

A gun violently assaulted you?

I'd like to see a video of that.

I was really glad to see this. People are taking action to reduce gun violence. Good for her.

I guess just ignore it because it is your party doing it after all and it's "for the good of the people".
Go on, take the guns. I'm not clinging to my guns nor my bible.

You can ban, regulate, persecute but you can't actually stop a criminal from committing a crime.
Minority Report isn't reality yet.

Who is suggesting taking away guns? You do realize there is a difference between gun reforms and "taking away gun" don't you?
