reasonable - there is no reasonable answer to the problems with handguns in the US, just that there is a problem, and your answers don't show any reasonable solution, and to you Obama's stance is not reasonable, -yet - i don't think you will see him with a banner over his head saying Mission Accomplished either... from what i have read, he is not against guns, he is against guns used in crimes and trying to find a solution,
What is the probem with handguns in this country? How many handguns have jumped up and robbed someone, or killed someone all on their own? NONE!!! The problem isn't with the gun, the problem is with the person behind the gun so go after them but leave my guns alone because they have never hurt anyone on their own and never will unless I use them in defense of myself or innocents around me.
The problem with the gun grabbers is they are looking at the tool used and NOT the person wielding that tool. If guns are such a blight on society and are responsible for killing so many people that they should be banned, then how about we go after the biggest killers in this country first. Cars and Doctors. Lets get rid of those before guns because they kill more Americans every year than guns do. Besides cars and doctors aren't protected by the Constitution so getting rid of them in no way impairs on my rights like trying to take away my guns does.
You want a soluton to ending the use of guns in a crime. Pass laws that PROTECT the victims of said crimes for using their own guns in defense. Protect the gun manufactures from liability lawsuits. Enact a Federal Castle Doctrine law and issue Federal Concelled Carry Permits.
And here is a little fact that the gun grabbers ALWAYS tend to ignore. 90% or better of ALL gun crime commited in this country are by people who are ALREADY convicted felons and aren't supposed to have guns anyways accourding to the law, and those crimes are committed against, on a better than 75% basis, towards other convicted felons who also aren't supposed to have guns in the first place accourding to the law.
So you have guns in the hands of criminals that are using them more often killing other criminals and you see this as a problem? Most of the people killed each year by gun violence wont be missed.
Yeah that sounds cold and heartless, but I have no remorse for thinking that way about someone who does nothing but gangbangs, cheats, and steals for a living. They can kill each other all they want as far as I'm concerned, but NO ONE has the right to deny me my RIGHT to defend myself from those animals if and when they decide that killing each other isn't enough and they decide they want to take a poke at me, or you for that matter and I just happen to be there. I would use my guns to protect your butt right along with mine if needed, but you think Obama's ideas are reasonable?
