Another major school shooting today ... Newtown, Conn

Well, Hawk, your side of the political spectrum seems always to be suggesting free enterprise can do what government cannot. So perhaps the "obvious compromise" ought not to be conceived of as only a governmental assessment. Maybe a panel of concerned citizens of some sort can be established to do the job.

Yes I suppose he was.
Do you hope his predictions will come true and World War IV is fought with sticks and stones? We wouldn't want to be fighting with guns now do we?

Wonderful means to disarmed the citizens the rulers do not care for.

True.

that is what we did with sex law, where state sponsored NGO's pass out the loot from Washington and propose law changes. the problem is that these NGO's dont let anyone in the door who does not pay homage to victim culture....we know before we start that doing this with with gun control would freeze out all those who want the citizens to be allowed to use guns. the government has already positioned this well about subcontracting out this government function.

So how do YOU propose to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of people who show reckless tendencies...or otherwise show themselves as being unfit for weapon possession, Hawk?

i think that there is a list as long as my arm of problems that we cant fix till after we fix Washington, and that gun control is on it. I find it endlessly fascinating that Washington is pulling this diversionary tactic of trying to get us to focus on something other than their incompetence by bringing up gun control, which we cant solve BECAUSE of their incompetence and abuse of the citizens...which is incompetence again.

How do YOU, Hawk...how do YOU propose to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of people who show reckless tendencies...or otherwise show themselves as being unfit for weapon possession?

...rural D's have no ability to support Obama's agenda, because the people will cut them off at the knees next election.

i think that we admit that we are fucked for now, we dedicate ourselves to fixing washington which means taking it back from the corporate class who now run it against our interests, and then we have have government run a process that finds the citizens who are unfit to be trusted with the use of guns and which works to keep guns out of their hands.

Municipal D's will starve if any new restrictions are made to the 2nd amendment because rural farming communities will no longer supply them with food.

How do you propose fixing Washington

People like me?

And regarding "certain" types of weapons, are you classifying guns as WMD by any chance?
