Lol durn kids!!!

Most of the opposition to background checks comes from those trying to impose them desiring to keep the information. The 4 senators that were working on this split over this issue Coburn won't allow the record to be kept by the feds so now it is stalled. 

If the information is kept, they are one step closer to having a national registration. Registration then leads to confiscation when some president down the line declares martial law or some new weapons ban comes along.

Right now even with a record of a background check one can easily say they sold all their guns at a gun show a month before when someone comes to confiscate them. But with universal checks they can no longer say this without having a record of the sale and the authorities knowing where that gun went. So either you are lying and hiding your guns or you are getting arrested for selling guns without a check. The whole point of the universal background check is so they can track every firearm in the country so that when they decide the time has come they know where to go to scoop them all up. 

Yes we may never see confiscation in our life time but it is possible and that is why a lot of people desire not to start down the hill. Look at Katrina, the cops went door to door confiscating guns. Imagine if they had a list of people that owned them and what they owned. The courts later smacked them down for it, but it didn't do those people any good, many of them still don't have their guns back.

South Dakota Governor Signs Gun Control Legislation.

lol, problem solved

No to hijack but when we only have one thread... well it's gonna happen...

The DHS has ordered 1.6 BILLION rounds of ammo.  That's enough to fight 24 years worth of war at levels equal to the height of Iraq war.

WTF does DHS need that much ammo for?  Other than to make it harder for civilians to buy it.

Aren't we on a sequester? Do you need 24 years worth of bullets when you are laying off teachers? (Almost said that with a straight face...)

PS: Oh and they are buying tanks for domestic use too.  Do you really need to wonder why we want to protects our 2A rights?

Loaded 200 .223 tonight. Not quite 1.6 billion, but it's a good start. At this pace I'll hit 1.6 billion in 22 thousand years.

If you don't follow or "like" Mike Huckabee on Facebook then I strongly suggest that you do so. He had a guest blogger the other day that had the best post on the gun issue I have ever read. Basically his point (which is the same point I have been making for years) is that: "Criminals don't obtain guns legally in the first place, any gun control measures put into place only serves to inhibit law abiding citizens from keeping and bearing arms as they are Constitutionally guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment."

DHS needs rounds for target practice, duh! Geez get with the program.

Oh and those "tanks" are left over Afghanistan tanks so really they are recycling tanks not buying new ones. Just don't ask me why some ridiculous made up department that we did fine without for 200 years now needs tanks. 

Uh.........you should see the amount of time DHS is spending on drug investigations.  I'm not sure exactly what is going on, or who is behind it, but DHS has some VERY long reaching tentacles these days.

I just hope they don't all start wearing brown shirts...  <Kidding kidding>

A person steals guns, (WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW), shoots and kills his own mother (WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW), transports these guns loaded (WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW), brings guns onto school property (WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW), breaks into the school (WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW), discharges the weapons within city limits (WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW), murders 26 people (WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW), and commits suicide (WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW).

Suicide is illegal in Idaho. Doesn't get charged a lot, but it is on the books and I saw it charged once when I worked at the court house. 

I wondered that too.  Obviously I just copied and pasted the rest.  I think I've seen it a half a dozen times or so on facebook and other places.
