#1 She's advocating the moral equivalent to slavery. I refuse to be a slave to her or to any government or person. An armed human is a free human.

#3 We're going to have a real civil war, maybe later than sooner, but it certainly has reached a place were it inevitable.

"Stand your ground; don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here."

The Left in their fantasy world believes the Army will duly carry out their orders to grab the guns ignoring they aren't the ones in the ranks and never have been. It'll break the Army just as it did in 1861. Then again, they have no history to learn from.

#4 Why do I get the feeling that she has full respect for Islam - especially the radical ones. Oh and supports Abortion as well.

#5 The liberals would not like the Mad Max scenario that would ensue if all guns were banned. These people are naive, unhinged and dangerous to say the least. Criminals and jihadists would still have guns, axes, knives, etc. As is said the only thing that stops a bad man or woman with a gun is a good man or woman with a gun.

#6 Seems to me you have two kinds of Gun Grabbing liberals. (1) The kind like this yahoo that live in a utopian world and really want the guns grabbed (2) Opportunists who tell the first group what they want to hear in order to get keep their votes from straying farther left, they will occasionally pass some marginal law about fantasy guns to look like they are doing something but know that taking guns away is impossible without a civil war. They also don't particularly like the debate because it drives up Republican attendance at elections and could easily cost them battleground states.

(1) Is not smart enough to realize they are being played.

#7 If people like this really were afraid of people with guns, they wouldn't dare say such things. Only the fact that they are 100% certain we are harmless allows them to utter such nastiness.

#16 gun control should never have been linked to San Bernadino as an issue

San Bernadino was an Islamist fascist terror attack. They had a pipe bomb factory in their garage.

They would simply use bombs instead of guns if guns were banned.

This was a cynical attempt by the political lying class who want to separate the concept of Islam from terrorism even though it is the motivating factor

It is dishonest in the extreme

if they really are campaigning on gun control then they hurt their own cause by cynically using as a poster child an issue that should not even have been linked.

It is like using the dead toddler on a beach in Turkey as propaganda to say Europe should open its borders. Why has it got anything to do with Europe?

#17 having said that, gun control actually does work well in Australia.

per capita we have a lot less random shootings than the US

this is because there are not many guns around, so people who are on drugs, or have a mental illness do not have the opportunity to pick one up and start shooting at random

we also do not get accidental shootings where children find them in their parents houses and think they are a toy.

So most australians are very happy there are gun control laws. The only people here that campaign for less gun control are hobby shooters and farmers - but farmers who need them have a license and have them

#18 anon, I would bet you don't have the gang problem we do here. Most gunshot victims are gang related.

#19 Murder is against the law but somehow it still happens. No guns and we will see more stabbings, more people run over, blunt force trauma, poisonings, and the bill ayers favorite -- bombings....... Some folks have no respect for other people and some have no respect for the constitution and the author of this article has respect for neither.
