rushmc 23 #51 December 5, 2015 kallend *** Anothere example of the liberal going off berating anyone who does not agree with themAny, statists and reports show your assurtions to be bullshit So I came down to your level. I am headed back up now Fascinating, coming from the guy who just this week criticized Billvon for a single letter typo. Hi John I see you do not understand sarcasm And a question mark is criticizing?

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #52 December 6, 2015 kallend***Open question to the people here that really want to change gun ownership/laws in the USA. 1. What is your basic solution. 2. Does it remotely make any sense given America amount of guns, 2 amendment rights. ive stated my ideas before. I've asked others but the anti gun people here seem to be only interested in discussing how bad it is here. This isn't Enland or Austraila (sp?) what worked there won't work here most likely. 1. Australia had a similar gun culture. They did manage to make changes that reduced the level of gun violence. All it takes is political will (sorely lacking here). 2. Treat ammunition purchases like buying Sudafed. Then we'd know who is stockpiling thousands of rounds (like the Aurora gunman and the San Bernardino killers). 3. All transfers to require a background check. No exceptions. Mandatory jail time for all parties involved in violations. If weapon is used in a crime, the straw purchaser is treated as an accessory. How about we start by enforcing the laws that are already on the books? Making a false statement on a 4473 is a Federal Felony. Yet very, very few are prosecuted (something like less than 100 out of 60,000). When the Obama administration was proposing background checks for all transfers in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting, the NRA asked about that. Biden was quoted as saying: Quote"...regarding the lack of prosecutions on lying on Form 4473s, we simply don’t have the time or manpower to prosecute everybody who lies on a form, that checks a wrong box, that answers a question inaccurately.” Link:http://dailycaller.com/2013/01/18/biden-to-nra-we-dont-have-the-time-to-prosecute-people-who-lie-on-background-checks/ And there's also the very simple fact that expanding background checks to all transfers would do very little to stop these kinds of tragedies. I don't recall any recent ones where the shooter either didn't or couldn't have passed the background checks. I'm in favor of proposals that would stop this sort of thing. But I haven't heard any yet. Everything I've heard proposed is far more of a "Do something, do anything!! Make it look like the public will be safer!!" Similar to the idiotic "security theater" that the TSA and airport screening has become."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

rushmc 23 #53 December 6, 2015 Transmitter Don't argue with the intelectually less gifted ones, they only pull you down to their level and as a reasonable human being you don't stand a chance there. This whole argument is senseless, people who agree that more guns for everyone means a general increase in safety prove their stupidity in the first place. Funny enough that its the same type of persons who drive big ass trucks and deny global warming. The thought of sharing the sky with those guys scares me the hell of a lot, let me guess that those are also the kind of people who believe that AADs make no sense.... Ok I am coming back down to your level for a minute Some colleges are getting it The Liberty University president is tell his students to arm up I first saw this on AP but I know many here like FOX betterhttp://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/12/06/liberty-university-president-encourages-students-to-carry-gun-on-campus/?intcmp=hpbt2 Excuse me now, I am going to climb back up."America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

RMK 3 #56 December 6, 2015 Seems being a student at Liberty University is already like living under the Taliban; so Islamic Jihadist ways shouldn't really be much of a change to their daily life. ...The university has an all-encompassing code of conduct, called The Liberty Way, which governs what students can say, do, read, and watch both on and off campus and sets out a regimen of reprimands and fines for violators. The First Amendment Doesn't Apply at Liberty. No R-Rated or NC-17 Movies, Un-Godly Music, or Immodest Posters or Dancing or Kissing at Liberty University.

Not sure, though, and (2) They can quit anytime they want and still keep their heads ...or bodies depending on point of view. I'd also bet that Liberty U doesn't issue any fatwas.

normiss 800 #59 December 6, 2015 My youngest daughter thought she was in love with the wrong guy, he wanted to move to that area to work with his father. When trying to convince me it was a good idea, she had already found the best college around there. Liberty U. When she told me, I laughed and asked her "Brena do you believe in god?" No, why? We spent a few hours reviewing the rules and requirements there. She chose a fine college closer to home. Last I heard, the boy she fell for was driving a soda delivery truck.
