Since we can't even get universal background checks, I don't think that there is much to fear about Arkansas Granny May 2013 #8
The prevailing thinking... discntnt_irny_srcsm May 2013 #10
Well, in the case of the Manchin-Toomey background check, a gun registry was absolutely forbidden. Bolo Boffin May 2013 #95

seems like you're moving the goal post, but who is the billionaire that wants to ban all cars? CreekDog May 2013 #30
I figured there must be one funding car ban organizations like Bloomie pays for all that gun control DonP May 2013 #31
Bloomberg is trying to ban all guns? When did that happen. CreekDog May 2013 #32
