U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords was severely wounded and 18 of her constituents killed or wounded by a gunman about 2 years ago. There have been 11 mass shootings since then. Rep.

I retired in 2008 and so I have more time now to devote to several of my interests The blog here is mainly for my interests in some current events but may have the occasional rant on other subjects. I have also decided to keep my genealogy posts here instead of in a second blog (and so simplify my life a little).

    This not the time for pusillanimity on more gun control. the proposed gun regulations have nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment. The NRA is wrong on this.

  2. Jack says:

    I agree. Reasonable controls are warranted. If we can prevent individuals from owning machine guns, bazookas, etc, why can we not regulate semi-automatic weapons? I cannot think of a reasonable argument for loopholes in the background check regulations.

    I think the NRA has directed the debate for too long. Now is the time for the more reasonable to prevail.t

    More people are killed each year let’s nationally regrister these killlers. A group of people were resently stabbed by a lunutic, lets regrister them and all knives. How about bombs and bombers. Shall we let the saudi national be deported or shall we regrister them and impound them. How about “”illegals”" lets regrister them get them off our dowls and see what effect that has on murders??? Let the Constitution “stand”. Let’s get to real solutions and not this bs of criminalizing “legal” gunowners. Find a life.

  4. Jack says:

    I agree we should not criminalize “legal” gun owners or those who legitimately have a right to be gun owners but I think we can take common sense measures to minimize the chance of criminals and madmen having “legal” guns. I believe we can come up with reasonable regulations. We will never stop violence with guns, etc but we can try to decrease the problem.
