There is a poster there with the screename "Homerboy".  I don't think he gets it.

People like that are why I don't post on other forums.
People like that are more dangerous to our rights than all the Brady's in the world because they are perfectly willing to give away YOUR rights.

Homerboy said several times that he would not mind at all having to have a background check for private sales.  I wonder if he's thought about what would happen if the FBI decided to turn NICS off... for a day, a month, a year, or forever.  I don't want the NRA membership numbers to decline but I can't help but think that we might be better off without members like Homerboy.  Compromise is somethng we can not do.

Agreed wholeheartedly !
This is something they actually have done in the past, supposedly "for maintenance".
There was at least one State that also shut down it's instant check site on the weekend of the largest gun show in the state.

Saw some one wearing a cop uniform (sound was off and closed captioning covered up who it was) on one of the Sunday talk shows saying he was opposed to a total gun ban, but couldn't we get rid of these "assualt weapons" and "high capacity" magazines.
We need to all act to nip this sh!t in the bud before it gets any traction.
Both Australia and England lost their rights over incidents like this.

Side door. He went out after the movie started, propped it open, and came back in geared up.

Thanks Path and Tyler for answering this for me.

Agreed!

Just like any other weapon the percentage of carbines and high capacity magazines used for innocent fun is vastly higher than the percentage used for illegal reasons.

Just sent this to both my Senators;

One legally armed citizen could have ended the tragedy in Colorado with only a couple people injured, or none as in the Pearl Miss case.
Please work to eliminate the predator hunting preserves called "gun free zones", all they do is to make innocent people vulnerable to those who don't care about your laws.

Here's another one I also sent, it's from a post I put on here :

Va Tech,  U of Alabama Huntsville,the Gifford's shooting in Tuscon, Ft Hood,now this guy.
There is one common thread that no one is addressing seriously.
In every case the killer was recognized as a dangerous nut job by people who dealt with them and no one did anything about it. Every one of them had a clean police record, the only one who did not go through at least one NICS check was Amy Bishop in Ala who used a borrowed pistol, and even though she had previously killed her own brother with a shotgun she would have passed because that was classed as an accident when she was a juvenile. (The case was reopened after the Huntsville shooting and found to have been badly flawed )
If we were less politically correct, and more proactive about mental health issues we would not need gun laws.

And if only one of them had been allowed in the theater armed, the tragedy might have been minimized....
