Thank you for your input and you are absolutely right about the military because you see that is where “assault rifles” etc. belong not in our homes. And just so you are aware I have always supported the military even during VietNam when it wasn’t “cool” so don’t go spouting flag waving at me. Maybe just once we need to stop the polarization so that this country can get some work done. That includes you. Thank you for your time.

I believe the point is that there have always been bad guys out there with guns who will kill you and as many as they can for no reason. Where do the bad guys get the guns? Many of them are stolen… You can bet that THEY will never sign up for a national gun registry…

Bad guys with guns is why the president has so many armed security agents with guns around him and his family. No one begrudges him the ability to protect himself. And it is fair that he does not legislate our ability to protect ourselves the in the manner that we choose…

100 million legal gun owners did not kill any defenseless Americans this year. They did kill a bunch of people breaking into their homes, threatening their lives, or menacing their family & property.

The point is that those people whom you refer to understand that the government cannot protect them as they do the president. They must protect themselves.

So the least he can do is not remove their ability to protect themselves away from them.

And your solution is what? Because crazy people get weapons illegally and kill a bunch of innocents, we should all be rendered defenseless?

This is a Constitutional issue.

Unfortunate that you are embarrassed to be an American, for any reason…. I was not embarrassed to defend you with a gun when I served in the military at a time when people like you spit at me when I came home and called me “baby-killer”.

Get it through your thick heads – you are safe and free because of good men with guns. Military and civilian. Public and private.

Police and government entities do not prevent crimes from happening. The overwhelming majority of the time, they only arrive after they receive a call that a crime has been committed.

After you are dead – because while the crime was being committed, you had no means to defend yourself.

The need for the POTUS to have Secret Service protection for himself and his family is a no brainer anyone who doesn’t know that has no brain. Our safety and the safety of our loved ones are important but it’s not at the same level as the President and his family. For example if someone kidnapped or threatened to harm us or our family they wouldn’t gain a bargaining chip that could possibly compromise national security or throw the country into turmoil. Not to mention the POTUS and his family are much bigger targets simply because he’s the President. So my suggestion to those screaming about the security of the President and his family vs. their security I would say run for President and win. Problem solved.

Not to take sides but TonyinMO Bush Senior and Reagan took exception and endorsed gun control. Jim and Sarah Brady are Repukelicans and they just LOVE guns!!!

I believe that one of Obama’s proposals was to make gov’t money available if individual local schools really wanted more guards.

you are so wrong! put aside this gun-control and ban issues… why don’t you accept the fact that our current president and his wife and daughters needed to be protected? ”all of our past presidents and their families have been protected”…. shame on you, and the many hypocrites, racist and idiots in this country…. sorelosers!!

I agree. Heaven and hell are states of mind, and the hand of God the Creator, reaching down into the hell into which the NRA – has degenerated, could not possible lift one of their Teapublican sick minds to the depths of degradation.

The difference there, of course, is that as the children of a head of state, they are ALREADY considered targets by some. Your everyday crazy, however, looks for something random. Making sure that crazies don’t get the opportunity to find their “random targets” is what the gun control and bans are about. Follow?
