Wait, are the gun nuts still convinced that Obama is going to take away their guns?!

Guess so.

Geez. No wonder these folks get so defensive whenever someone talks about trying to prevent the mentally ill from buying guns.

Guns are too loud, too impersonal.

When I kill someone, I like to see the look in their faces.

Sometimes you can tell, just by their face, whether you've punctured their lung or actually managed to reach all the way to the heart.

Good times.

[Sleipnir]

I think we all have a right to this, but not the crazy insane people that want to kill everyone.

Bullets are still high priced due to the run on ammunition right after Obama was elected, so yes people believe Obama is trying to take guns out of their hands.

[rotanalebor]

I heard from a guy at a gun show who has a brother who works at Remington that all the big ammo companies are working with the FBI and secretly installing micro-RFID transmitters in each bullet so they the can tell who is stockpiling what and how much. To block the signal, you need to carefully wrap each bullet with tinfoil. Spread the word!

Ammo.com Calls Obama 'Greatest Gun Salesman in America'

[Icarus27k]

Ah yes, gun rights. One of a few things the U.S. Supreme Court has gotten wrong in the Court's last decade of mediocrity.

[alucardsexyghost]

i'm all for people owning guns. And other military hardware. In case we need to take down the government

really though I think gun laws are fine the way they are don't think we really need more as long as what we have now is enforced. I'm don't see the need for carrying a gun with you everwhere you go, and think it could cause more problems then it could fix, but whatever.

[farnsworth2]

if obama wants to take my guns away he can get them from my warm alive hands as i hand them over
but guns are not comparable to abortions
guns protect and feed as much as they attack

wtf has a baby ever done
no ones gone omg that baby saved my life :\

[alucardsexyghost]

Yeah fuuuuuudge those babies.

[farnsworth2]

i think we need to go all jonathon swift in this piece

Actually it's a little more complicated then that .

To be honest Bill Clinton did more to raise the prices over a decade ago .

It would be far more accurate to blame the United Nations for the current  price of ammo in the US .

I've been in the ammo market for a LONG time now .

The VAST majority of all of the center fire ammunition that was used in the United States

prior to about 4 years ago was actually surplussed military ammuntion .

When their ammo reaches a certain age  most major militaries would make a profit by

selling off the surplus to American civilian distributers who in turn sold it to American shooters .

They got rid of their old ammo while recovering some funds ,and American shooters got high quality

low cost ammo in bulk .

Just prior to Obama's time in office the United Nations passed it's own regulations to get other UN countries

to sign a treaty intended to destroy ammo and guns that were being sold to 3rd world African countries

where there was never ending violence .

The real kicker --- 

The treaty prevents sales to civilians  but NOT sales to any member of a foreign military .

By definition , self proclaimed warlords are part of the military so they can buy it .

Now even MORE ammo is going to Africa then before .   

BTW --

Bill Clinton passed a law to prevent Americans from getting servicable surplussed ammo 

from our own military years earlier .

The ammo grab in the first years under Obama would have happened even if McCain

won the election because of the circumstances .

I'm not comparing abortion to guns.

Someone brought up the idea of paying a $350 fee to buy a gun. I asked if we should have to pay a $350 fee to get an abortion, to vote, or to practice any other right. Nobody has answered my question yet.

[NaBraniel]

 ^^^ this is what happened.

constitutional right to bear arms - can't take it away so ridiculously jack up the price to even apply for one (+ fingerprinting fee = significantly more than the paycheck of someone who works full time @ minimum wage for one week)

I'm not a gun person personally but that still comes off as extremely broken to me, it does absolutely nothing but make guns less available to poor people who want to exercise their right to legally one. 

[westpark]

libruls hate guns rabble rabble

[Rorschach_Reborn]

I just want some sort of nationwide cc program. Because some states don't respect other states CC holders and that seems stupid.

Also I want the MG registry reopened. Just so i can get an MG3 and american 180.

Selfish, I know.

For once you and I agree on something .

This makes something needlessly cost prohibitive for poor people .

What's next -you have freedom of Speech but you have to pay $5000 for a permit to use it ?

That just seems as anti-American as it gets to me .

SCOTUS has ruled that it is a RIGHT under the constitution .

We are supposed to be equal under the law no matter what our economic status .

Now we should have to PAY to have our rights ?
