"What Should The Government Do To Limit The Availability Of Firearms." Over 2 to 1 say NOTHING. And it's set up so you can't hit it twice.

Gun deaths and injuries have dropped sharply in California, even as the number of guns sold in the state has risen, according to new state data.

Dealers sold 600,000 guns in California last year, up from 350,000 in 2002, according to records of sale tallied by the California Attorney General's office.

During that same period, the number of California hospitalizations due to gun injuries declined from about 4,000 annually to 2,900, a roughly 25 percent drop, according to hospital records collected by the California Department of Public Health.

That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

"Nothing" still leads at 46.7% of the vote.

What worries me the most is the number of people that want to amend the 2A.

""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

Yes it's bothersome but the most difficult to accomplish.

Much easier to restrict what you can buy and even Justice Scalia has mentioned that reasonable restrictions on firearms would still leave the 2nd Amendment in tact.  It says you have a right to keep and bear arms but nothing about the types of arms allowed.

Sucks but that's the most conservative Justice on the bench at the moment!

What part of "Shall not be infringed is so hard for these azzholes to understand ?
We've tried explaining it, do we have to show them ?

Preaching to the choir Tom! 

This is the final confrontation because if Scalia believes as he says he does, it's not as if it will be overturned when and if someone takes it to the SCOTUS!  He's probably the most prominent scholar when it comes to the Constitution.

Feinsteins bill will have a hard time but the states can do as they will, especially up here in the great blue north...

Enuf and I've been relearning all of the good knots lately!  Amazing what you forget when you haven't cinched down a load or tied off a line in years...  It comes back fairly quickly though!
