America's Shooting Gallery from September 2005 to now...
A sobering reality check offering proof of what a violent country we live in and why we should keep and preserve every single gun control law on the books after the SCOTUS ruling yesterday.

1. Do 98+% of gun owners need such heavy restriction?
Since every year over 98% of the 80 million firearm owners in this country commit no crimes with their firearms, what's the big panic for gun control?

But I do love reading the words "keep and preserve", as opposed to "advocate more and stronger".

Clearly your side is now on the defensive just trying to "keep and preserve" what you've got. That makes me happy! :)

Their lead story from a few days ago

Ceasefire NJ Applauds Assembly's Bipartisan Passage of Bill Intended to Cut Into Illegal Handgun Trafficking -- Legislation Now Moves to State Senate

Trenton: The New Jersey Assembly, in a bipartisan vote, passed A-339, commonly known as One Handgun A Month, a bill intended to dramatically diminish the illegal intrastate trafficking of handguns by limiting buyers to the purchase of no more than a single handgun in any thirty-day period.......


"While most guns recovered from crime in NJ were originally purchased in other states and trafficked here, due to our state's relatively strong gun laws, there exists an active intrastate illegal trafficking business that puts weapons in the hands of those who cannot acquire them legally," continued Miller. "These are the guns that are used in crime. These are the guns used to threaten and wound and maim and kill.


They call for laws that have zero effect on crime. They're idiots.

4. You mean, unlike the guys at "Guntards. com" ?
After all, they're so proud of being idiots that they even named their website after a Developmental Disability!

5. You guys can't seem to come up with any new stuff.
Like the GOP, you repeat the same lines over and over again, as though wishing that that will make them true.

6. Nor can you. Like a fool you want to pass feel good laws that have no effect on the problem.

You can't legislate yourself in to the nirvana you are looking for!

Like the Gun Guys, the Bradyites and the Joyce Foundation, you repeat the same lines over and over again, as though wishing that that will make them true.

You can't even compose anything original, you just cut and paste from other websites.

21. If I don't cut and paste from other websites...
You guys will say that you need links to prove that what I'm saying is true. I know; been there. I think that gunners don't like real facts, so they dislike cut and paste.

16. So you are advocating ignoring the law just to violate someones rights?
I believe the Klan did that in the south. That's not very good company to keep.

18. Do you follow these links?
And read any of the stories? Man, I grabbed one at random, we need more laws on the books to stop an active duty police officer from raping women at gunpoint..

http://www.wpsdtv.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=af08024a-3394-4061-9f3b-fd77500d70b7

This guy was using his service pistol to frighten and rape women. A POLICE OFFICER. What would you have us do, strip our police of their firearms?
