McCain, Ghouliani, speak up to assist the healing process: NO GUN CONTROL!!!!1111

[Bluebear]

WASHINGTON – Republican presidential candidate John McCain declared Wednesday he believes in “no gun control,” making the strongest affirmation of support for gun rights in the GOP field since the Virginia Tech massacre.

The Arizona senator said in Summerville, S.C., that the country needs better ways to identify dangerous people like the gunman who killed 32 people and himself in the Blacksburg, Va., rampage. But he opposed weakening gun rights and, when asked whether ammunition clips sold to the public should be limited in size, said, “I don’t think that’s necessary at all.”

GOP rival Rudy Giuliani, too, voiced his support for the Second Amendment on Wednesday, but not in such absolute terms. Once an advocate of strong federal gun controls, the former New York mayor said “this tragedy does not alter the Second Amendment” while indicating he favors the right of states to pass their own restrictions.

Other candidates in both parties have stayed largely silent on the issue in the immediate aftermath of the killings, except to express their sorrow.

1. What happens when only right wingers have guns

That's one of my biggest fears. We get our gun control and only fundy's and the like have any kind of weapons. how will we take this country back?

[Bluebear]

2. Well, you would think they would at least wait until the bodies cool to start pandering

Disgraceful.

[donheld]

3. I'm serious about this

We keep talking gun control and taking back our country. How are we going to take it back if we have no weapons?

4. Through democracy and non violence, if has to be done with guns it's not worth doing

When was the last time a violent revolution was successful? Look at the remarkable political transformation in South America without guns.

5. I hear you

I just makes me nervous.

[Disturbed]

6. When was the last time a violent revolution was successful?

Uh, in 1776?
In 1962 in Cuba?
In 1949 in China?

There were others. Do the research.

[billbuckhead]

11. Cuba and China were "successful"?

Do you consider Iraq a success for RBKA?:sarcasm:

8. I want to give this lady a hug:

In a speech Wednesday to a crowd of 400, McCain was unequivocal in support of the right to bear arms. “I do not believe we should tamper with the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States,” he said. A woman shouted that George Washington’s troops used muskets, not automatic weapons.

:rofl:

10. Does this include everyone who will be attending their campaign appearances?

Are they willing to appear in front people who are packing legally acquired firearms?
