Read a disturbing thing on MSN a while ago. Said the democrats were against the second amendment. Seen where they said that out of i think it was 375 people buying ammunition, about 250 were felons. Now if that is true, when they showed their drivers liscense and the clerk entered it into the computer, it should have showed them that the person was a felon. WHY not? Technology is advanced enough that i can go on Amazon and order a game or movie and enter my bank debit card and have approval of the transaction in seconds. Why can't the same be true about buying guns and ammunition and showing your drivers permit be the same way? Sounds like the good are being punished along with the bad. Our politicians need to wake up and get out of la la land.

Alex, I don't think that these felons are using any ID's to purchase Guns and Ammo. They can just buy these anywhere on the Black Market. I know here they sell firearms at the Flea Markets. Mostly Hunting Rifles. NO ID needed. If a person wants a Firearm they have no trouble buying one, with or without ID.. Very Scarey to us who go by the Laws of this land.
Also, it's a lot like other illegal items that or bought by people who have the ID, however, given to the felons and underage that can't legally buy them.
Our Planet is changing. God be with us all.

..... I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED. I probably won't live to see it but if the government gives the command to suppress us, the soldiers that are in the military knows that the government writes their paychecks so they will do what they are told. Sad situation. I have owned guns since 1962 and they have never killed anyone yet. All these shootings are a sad situation but the news media makes a big deal out of them and the buttholes in Washington that have already lined their pockets are trying to use that junk to make it look bad on the gun owners that are law abiding citizens. If they ever get our guns away from us, GOD forbid, then Nikta Krustchev's saying will come true. America will be taken over without even firing a shot. They have got a good toe hold already.

.......Nobody thinks you are full of crap or dislikes you. You are entitled to your opinion just like anybody else. I know some people in service that probably wouldn't harm me. I just worry about strangers that don't know me. After seeing the way some of our military people come back from overseas with messed up personalities and some of the things they do, i am a little concerned about what will happen in the future. Also i read an article the other day that says the morale of the military is at an all time low. Cadets are lying and cheating like never before. It just concerns me. Who would have ever thought our leaders in Washington would be so much in favor of the gays.

some people are faking ptsd, a ex marine, viet nam vet, who worked with me, who was very clever, went and applied for ptsd, and put on a great acting job for the VA, he reported in ragged out clothing, unshaven, unbatheed, and talked all kind of crazy shit to the examiner, and he got a check, so he somes back to work, and tells a couple more guys how to do it, and lo and behold they get a check too, there was nothing wrong with these a**holes, because I worked with them every day
I am sure that some do suffer with ptsd, and I am sure there are some faking it to get a check.

LUCKY , I'm sure there is fraud in many Government agencies, SSI & Food stamps, etc, but to deny those who need it becuse of of the dishonest would be a serious mess, those doing the examinantions are not doing their jobs , they are the ones to punish not the just the dishonest Vets ,

You are right Fish. It would be awful not to take care of the ones really in need. But it makes a person wonder sometimes. Had to take a neighbor to the DHHR office yesterday. That is a more dignified name for the welfare office. Observed this as i sat in the parking lot. 90% of the people going in and out were in the mid forty and below range. Of those, 95% were driving nice cars and wearing nice clothes. 90% of them had a cell phone in their hand and a cigarette in their mouth, both coming and going. 90% looked like they were in pretty good health.

Yes alex it's a sad situation , several of those you observed possibly have unreported incomes from illlegal drugs , booze , prostitution & theft. the welfare checks are used to buy groceries & gas , not to pay for the fancy clothes , cars & jewelry , etc;paid for by the activities listed above .

Heard something else yesterday sorta disturbing. Mr Obummer wants to push higher education for our kids. I agree that all kids needs a good education. He says that the government wants to help buy books and help pay tuitions for our young to get a higher education. Our so called leaders have made all these trade agreements and sent most of our jobs overseas, that if we get them all educated, there will not be many decent jobs for them to get.

This rather jumps the title of the thread , but my feelings cocerning the gun control lobbyists, is they are feeding their cauuse on all these random shootings of late in public places, universities & schools ,We have laws to protect the population from illegal use of firearms , but those laws are ignorned by the perps, Sooner than we thought the rights to own all fire arms will cease,here's part of the delima , say John Doe , is a legal citizen of legal age & has even complied with regulations of registering his Glock 40mm.pistol , but some where down the line of daily life , JohnDoe has a traumatic event in his life of normalancy & bliss , which causes him to lose control of his good senses & go berserk & he uses his weapon to kill one or more people for what ever cause he thinks justifiable .prior to his murderus rampage he had no medical history of mental illness nor was he anti this or that. how is it possible to prevent such unkown dangers ? all this plus hate groups , gangs ,drug dealers ,terrorists & mad cow house wives seeking revenge on cheating hubbys. plus children having access to fire arms.

You are right Fish. I should have put that post in Things That Irk You Thread. Guess i got anxious to vent. Going to put another one in there in a few minutes. Now, getting to the subject of guns and gun control. I firmly believe that if the Government banned owning firearms and compenscated all then and someone went on a rampage to kill, he would find the means to do it anyway. It is truly a sad and serious situation. I have no idea what the answer to it all is. I do believe that a lot of politicians are using these incidents to promote gun control. They will get mine out of my hand when i am dead. The sad part is that if someone comes in your house with intent to do harm and you shoot him and don't kill him, he can turn around around and sue you for causing him bodily harm. Something wrong with that picture. I figure he's paid for. Greedy lawyers are killing this country.

Hey alex You were ok , it was me ... bud ,that posted a subject slightly askew of the threads title , one thing fer sure with nearly two more years of a national leader kissing up to other countries & letting them dictate to us what's what will put us in deeper do-do. Our forefathers are turning over in their graves in angst.

...... And you know the sad part about it is that so many younger people like my son and daughter-in-law and my grandson haven't even bothered to register to vote yet they belly ache about how things are going and say, my vote don't count anyway. All the millions of votes that are not cast could make a huge difference. It's going to come back and bite them someday. Old saying, if you don't use it you lose it.

My North Carolina son and wife voted for this president---and as soon as he got in office good.....they both lost their good jobs and had to move their job places miles away from their home to work and now they are crying "FOUL"---so we have to learn the hard way..I did vote for Kennedy-he made it seem as though, he was really a dedicated man --But even his father Joe had him groomed and ready for that office with monies galore--and he never come out of depression after he knew Ted couldn't get the position..
