the second amendment, he had to copy and paste a chicken liberal talking point.
" the second amendment"
that's a strange position for a less Aggie, but it's not HUSSEIN's nor my position.
son whats the point you stupid son of a !?????
I'll work hard to disarm the American people. Then, I'll create a national police force. All the while, I'll make the American people more and more reliant upon my government programs.
It's all leading to my REAL plan for America.

Did you guys know Chicago is the murder capital of America?
Change you can believe in
Obama's done so much in his career.
Blaming guns is too easy a cop-out for our crime problems in America. I think it has more to do with our national motto of ' you, I'm doing what the I want'.
Harsh comments by conservatives in here. I thought life was something held sacred to you? Lots of children are dying by gun accidents.
Uh...where you getting your numbers? I could've sworn that distinct honor belonged to Detroit.
As open minded as I am I'm not an advocate for guns despite our cons utional rights.
I would however be open to stricter guidelines for gun ownership. There should be way more required including courses on gun safety and storage before being able to make a purchase.
You know I wouldn't feel like we have to eliminate guns if this country would tighten up on how to obtain and own a gun. I think its more of an issue of en lement than being a responsible carrier. It needs to change.
Do you know how many illegal firearms are out there? If you think muggers and thiefs are gonna take a gun safety course, then I have a bridge I'll sell you for cheap!
If you think gun shows and gun dealers are gonna stop selling to anybody, ...
The NRA is all about the gun business, masqerading behind 2nd amendment smokescreen.
Google it ...
Next time, instead of typing "DailyKos", type "Chicago murder rate"...

I'm guessing you read this and didn't bother to actually "research" it.

Adn I'm guessing you didn't read everything you googled...just what you wanted to.
What didn't I read?
This sounds more like something you need to take up with your first grade teacher...
I can find articles on the HuffingtonPost itself saying Chicago is the murder capital..the 2008 murder capital...
Meanwhile...
Care to show that "distinct honor" belonging to Detroit?
You know...as you "swore"?
Not since Chiicago enacted stricter gun control laws
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Thought so.
If you bother to go to the wiki link you'll see Detroit was #1 in 2007. I find it odd that anyone would claim any city is the murder capital of 2008 WHEN 2008 HASN'T ENDED YET.
Then do it
Damn those violent guns for making all the peaceful guns look bad.US Gun Violence by the Numbers
