There isn't one single gun control law that has done anything to reduce violant crime. DC and Chicago have the most restrictive gun laws in the country, while at the same time they have the highest rate of violant crime in the nation. Need any more proof, Stan?

We all know it's illegal to trespass on your property and enter your house uninvited. Leave your door unlocked and your car keys and wallet out in plain sight... nothing to worry about, right? The criminals know it's trespassing, too. I'm sure they'll think twice about entering without your consent.

Stan,
The 2nd amendment is not about hunting or sport.
It is about your right to defend your own life against anyone who tries to take it, thereby depriving you of your right to life.
The good people residing in DC have the same right to self defense that the rest of us have, but the government has been depriving them from that right for too long now, so they have to live at the mercy of the criminals, home invaders, murderers, rapists, etc., who could not care less about a gun law or any other law out there.

The "rulers" in the government get armed protection from the Secret Service, paid for by us commoners...while they try to pass more laws to deprive us of our right to self defense.
Gun Control is not about Guns, it's about Control.

The 2nd isn't about hunting. It's about defense against those that wish to do us harm, both on a personal scale and a much grander scale.

Oh, and those people are going to be hunting criminals.

"gun amendment would 'lead to more violence.'"

Lets hope it passes. Then watch the crime rate drop dramatically because the criminals realize they might actually get shot!

Then again, they'll probably get some brain-dead lawyer to sue.

As far as representatives for D.C. in the House being unCONSTITUTIONal, no surprise there. The Dems have been trying to use the greatest document in history as toilet paper for decades. The fact that a pro-gun measure got entered into this bill is like finding a c-note in the pants that you just got back from the cleaners. I imagine Obama already has a plan to tax us all out of gun ownership, anyway, as well as muscle through a couple of "perma-Dems" into the House to represent D.C. God knows the day D.C. elected a Republican to the House would be the day Obama became a Capitialist.....It would just be cheaper for the House to automatically enter two Democratic votes into every bill on behalf of D.C. instead of putting two more representatives on the payroll.... I must have had a delusional moment. I think I said "cheaper"

in my opinion, adding this gun control thing is a great idea, but is pork on the bill.

Adding anything extra to a bill should be considerd pork. Its rather immoral to say that we do not approve of pork.. and say nothing when it suits us.

THAT BEING SAID..

the constitution doesn't allow DC to have a representative.. this is an attempt to pack the legislative branch with yet another democrat and should be wholly opposed.. and the person who introduced the legislation should be put on trial for failing to uphold their oath to defend the constitution.

oh and the gun thing.. Hey Feinstine... how many drug dealers home invaders and muggers follow the law? How many of them have reservatrionsa bout breaking the law?? You answer that question for me.. dont think too hard. If people make no bones about SHOOTING YOU.. they make no bones about illegally acquiring the firearm to begin with. If you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns. It will INCREASE violent crime.. its been proven.
