Whitehouse.gov already calling for gun ban
Well, that didn't take long.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/urban_policy/
"Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent."

"O" Keys
I see they didn't have any problems finding the "O" keys.

Interesting that "it" is under the heading of:
"Crime & Law Enforcement"
What a crock of sh**, IMHO.
Long live the, "Gun & Knife Shows!"
Just my .02.

We'll have world peace within the week.

They will play hell collecting all the 'assault' and NFA firearms out there.

I have written my reps and told them how I feel about guns.
We can run to the Internet and cry or we can tell the people who can do something about it that we will not allow our rights to be stolen.

With respect, I disagree with part of your statement. Both activities are important.
I have benefited from the members of this forum and others articulating their views on gun control. By reading their comments and doing my own research I've come to understand better the propriety and necessity of the Second Amendment. This emerging understanding has led to conversations with friends who favor gun control. They, in turn, have begun to refine, if not reconsider, their positions.

This subject has been beat to death and the end result is always that those with evil intent will still have access to firearms and will use them for whatever purpose they desire....despite whatever Do-Gooder LAW is enacted.
On a hunch, I would guess to say that injuries and deaths incurred by negligent firearms use are far less than those incurred by negligent use of automobiles and baseball bats.....and it is much easier to aquire a car or baseball bat than it is a firearm.....That is how stupid gun laws are.
Proper education is the key, not laws.
It might mean jail, but The One and his ilk can KMA.
I'll go back to discussing with my wife the brainwashing my kids received at school today.

Well, all those who believed the bullshit about the Dims not wanting to take your guns, try and get your votes back (again).
The leopard does not change his spots.
They have two years of unrestricted opportunity to issue legislation attacking our 2nd Amendment rights, and the only thing which could stop them is the SCOTUS, which is about evenly divided.
Contact your legislators, probably Dims, and see if they will buck the Pelosi and Reid agenda.
I strongly suspect that in most cases, they will not.
We are not seen as constituents to them, just rednecks clinging to guns and religion.
Change you can believe in indeed.

Disappointed, not surprised.
I'll write to my reps.
I renewed my NRA membership.
I just gave money to the NRA Civil Rights Defense fund.
I agree with Sten--do something.

The AWB is a dead issue as there are plenty out there to be had. Just today the gun shop received 50 stripped uppers and they were gone by lunch as the owner has said has happened every 2-3 days since mid October.

I'd bet you that the White House curator won't have to call the President and the First lady in Crawford and ask for the china and furniture back.
