Paul B asked:


would any “better” gun legislation or gun control laws have avoided the killing of these people?

Does anyone actually think it would have?

It appears that his mental state was the problem here and not due to any lack of any gun control laws.

We need to do more to keep firearms off the streets and out of the hands of criminals. I’m not saying ban all the guns, but we should seriously look at the Virginia Tech shootings and think about what could of been done at the federal, state, and local level to prevent this from happening.

It should be a discussion for all Americans to get in on. Maniacs do not discriminate between liberals and conservatives when they kill. We need to figure out how we can prevent the next Virginia Tech or Columbine from happening.
It really pisses me off that people don’t want to do anything about this growing problem. What is it going to take? One of your kids getting shot, or worse, killed, before you realize the system we have now isn’t working?

Lots of people seem to be in an uproar that Obama is going to take their guns. He wants to pass legislation to tighten gun control laws to make it harder for criminals and people with mental disease to purchase guns. Such as requirering background checks at gun shows. I want to know if being safe and saving lives and our childrens lives and this country is worth it to people to not be able to purchase guns as easily as in the past?

In 1992 Hillary Clinton supported the Federal assault weapons ban before the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act was passed in 1993 and signed by President Clinton[14].

During a 1999 press conference at the White House, First Lady Hillary Clinton stated, “And since the crime bill was enacted, 19 of the deadliest assault weapons are harder to find on our streets. We will never know how many tragedies we’ve avoided because of these efforts.”[15]

In the 1999 Proposition B in Missouri campaign, Robin Carnahan’s Safe Schools and Workplaces Committee, on the weekend prior to voting day, coordinated a taped phone message from Hillary Clinton that automatically dialed 75,000 homes statewide with the message, “Just too dangerous for Missouri families.” [16]

Hillary Clinton favors “sensible gun control legislation” and not limiting gun control lawsuits. [17] She made gun control issues part of her 2000 Senate campaign.[18]
Hillary Clinton was one of 16 Senators who voted against the 2006 Vitter Amendment, which prohibits the funding of the confiscation of lawfully-held firearms during a disaster.

btw… This is a non-partisan question. I don’t think I should give up my guns, but I do think that some people do not have the right to bear arms… there goes my dilemna.

Matt asked:

President-elect Barack Obama has just stated that he is going to tax ammunition 500% as well as all handguns and semi-automatic weapons. He said he wants to permanantly ban all hanguns, semi-auto’s, and some shotguns. He also wants to do away with the ‘grandfather clause’ and make it illegal to possess any guns purchased before his ban goes into effect. You will have to wait for 30 days to buy a gun. He and Biden are also proposing reinstating a ‘much stronger’ version of the 1994-2004 Clinton gun ban that the Republican Congress let expire in 2004. This new band would be permanent without being up for renewal option! Basically they are disarming law abiding citizens, but doing so in small increments. With The Democrats having a fillibuster proof Majority in the Senate and House, Obama will be able to implement and pass this gun control on America as the numbers are there in the Senate. They already have 58 seats out of 100. No, I am not a Republican, and am darn sure not a Democrat. I am an American that votes 3rd party every time. Who agrees with me that the cities they ban guns in have the highest crime rates? A criminal can get a gun anywhere. This legislation is targeted at LAW ABIDING CITIZENS and nothing more. Do you agree with what they said they are going to do on January 20, 2009, by signing the confiscation of guns into law? Look at the President-elect’s voting record as a Senator on every piece of gun legislation in the past. Who in their right mind would allow a 500% tax on ammunition and all guns? People have told me ‘Congress won’t let him do it’, however I disagree as they have enough of a majority to do whatever they want for the next 2 years. So, the question of the day is…Do you agree with what they are doing come January or are you for it??? When is enough enough? Sincerely, an average American struggling to pay the mortgage and keep gas in my car. No I am not a right winger or a gun freak either. This coming legislation just seems very disturbing to me.
eople are asking for my sources. Well, here they are…Us senate.gov(look at his voting record) and NRA. People are accusing me of lying already. Check it out people, they are going to do this stuff. They have 58 senate seats so far out of 100 with 2 races still up in the air. What more sources are needed folks? Peace out.
