Ants, it won't, but that doesn't mean we can't do things to help keep guns from those who shouldn't have them. Which is what background checks are designed to do. So according to your thinking, because criminals will find a way to get guns we shouldn't do anything at all to keep people who shouldn't have guns from getting them? For the record I too think Obama, like Bush before him, is a failure as president.

From todays NY Times: The president wants to increase the number of government agents to process background checks and to expand the number of dealers who need federal licenses under current law and for more money to combat mental illness. He is not currently advocating renewal or expansion of the expired assault weapons ban. None of these things in any way seeks to take away anybody's guns, but of course all you paranoid, anti government, NRA followers will always find some secret conspiracy when it comes to anything to do with guns.

VJP Once again I am very pleased to see that my hatred of the NRA has upset you, now behind over so that your NRA can continue to shove thier twisted views. *Removed curse

Why not just admit you are anti gun and hunting I am against neither, I am however strongly Anti-NRA, they are the biggest enablers of America's gun crime crisis thanks to thier adamant refusal to support any sensible gun control laws

Diplo, the problem here is no one ever offers up a solution, all they do is bitch and moan about how the government is out to take away all their guns

You're going to end up giving up more then an inch. Allowing for unchecked gun violence will in the long run end up costing you your right to bear arms. As everyone here knows, but won't admit, the times are changing and those changes are going against gun owners. Failure on the federal level, lead by republicans who are beholden to the insane policies of a brain-dead NRA, are being meet with success on the state level as states pass more gun control measures. Instead of standing firm on your misguided beliefs, perhaps you might want to work towards passing sensible gun control measures instead of offering zero solutions. As more and more people grow tired of gun violence in their cities, and as cities expand ever outward, more politicians will answer their calls for increased gun control, after all it is the folks in the cities that carry elections.

Perhaps gun ownership should be a privilege and not a right. It is proven an a daily basis that too many people are unable to properly handle such a right. Driving is a privilege, subject to numerous laws and restrictions and unless you wantonly abuse that privilege the state allows you to freely drive wherever and whenever you want. The same should apply to guns, pass a background check, like you would a roadtest, follow the law and be on your armed way.

Skillet did I offend you? If so too fu@king bad.

Instead of your paranoid reaction did any of you read what the president plans on doing? It amounts to pretty much nothing.even the morons that make up the leadership of the NRA call his actions "surprisingly thin" while also stating that these actions "are not really doing anything"

That describes you perfectly, distrustful of the givernment, i'd be very worried if I was you

What does that have to do with anything?

If you're carrying to defend yourself what better then at a family holiday dinner, that's the time most people find themselves getting into a fight.

Yesterday there was some fool riding an ATV downrange of the active shooting range where I am a member. I'm guessing he couldn't here the shooting going on over the load sound of his ATV.

As hunter would you grant permission to someone to hunt your land? Expect for close friends/family my answer would be no.

If you seek examples of their hatred of those who are not like them all you need to do is read their posts which cleeary exposes their paranoid racist views. Maybe they needed to spend some time with "hippies", a few joints might help relieve their delusional mindset.

Papist and VJP are nothing but racists who think everyone is out to get them, I'm guessing they both enjoy dressing in white sheets as their bigoted posts indicate while Papist praises the twisted thinking of Donald Trump who he glorifies as the second coming of Adolf Hitler

This site is over-populated with paranoid right wing nuts whose only thought is "Oh my God the government is coming to take my guns" and "The DEC is out to ruin deer hunting", clear proof that the conservative mindset is indeed a faulty mindset.

I thought I read that the magazine limit was found to be unconstitutional

The problem with your solution is that America produces very little of what American's buy, therefore we are dependent upon imports from the countries you speak out against. While claiming that attempts to lowers emissions will cripple our economy the surest way to kill our economy would be to ban imports from polluting countries being personal consumption (consumer spending) accounts for roughly 2/3 of America's economic activity.

There was an article about how animals are adapting to development in developed areas, the link can be found in "General Chit-chat" under the "more development:" thread concerning Sterling Forest

I've had problems with kids on quads on the street that I live on, talked to local police and was told that they simply are not a priority and even if they sent officers out there is not much they can do because the users on the quads simply drive off and the police will not chase them, I imagine the same applies, especially more so when riders are off road in the woods.

Most of these scents are just gimmacks used to part you from your money

The G5 sliced nicely, maybe I'll one day get to see how they cut through a deer
