It would be wise to update the background check system as was supposed to happen ... spin May 2012 #3

Don't you realize your target of persuasion isn't the right wing? DanM May 2012 #37
The NRA, TParty and the gun culture segment that uses guns to intimidate are right wingers. Hoyt May 2012 #38
What are the gun-rights people doing politically that gun-control folks can't do? DanM May 2012 #42
Exactly, right wingers have mobilized TBaggers, NRA types, etc., to pass right wing legislation that Hoyt May 2012 #43
So why is it impossible to mobilize Democrats to pass progressive gun control? hack89 May 2012 #52
You sure talk a lot about being intimidated by people with guns. Tejas May 2012 #75

Your right SGMRTDARMY May 2012 #46

More guns affect everyone -- but you don't seem to care about that. Hoyt May 2012 #50
How does more guns in the hands of honest citizens affect everyone? SGMRTDARMY May 2012 #51
