The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith
A new Pew Research poll finds "there are clear areas of agreement when it comes to a number of gun policy proposals. ~ 85% of Americans favor making private gun sales and sales at gun shows subject to background checks, with comparable support from Republicans, Democrats and independents. ~ 80% support laws to prevent mentally ill people from purchasing guns, with broad support across party lines."
~ 67% favor creating a federal database to track gun sales, Democrats (84%,Republicans (49%). ~ 55% favors a ban on assault-style weapons; Democrats 69%, Republicans 44%. Similar divides exist to banning high-capacity ammunition clips or the sale of ammunition online."
85% of AMerican's answer 'off the cuff' to 'LIKE' what everyone else is liking on facebook and are too ignorant and made to feel fearful by the rhetoric used by our, oh sooooo strong leaders, to investigate the full picture of their own lives....
not to mention the background check thing and the mental health thing gives ALOT of a power to a few to be able to input data on the many....AND GUESS WHAT.....it never ever ever gets expunged, even if unfounded...
at least in church there is expiation and forgiveness.....your government offers none.....
ONCE A DIAGNOSIS ALWAYS A DIAGNOSIS....
can you feel that noose get tighter and tighter....I hope you are happy what is left for our posterity
oooooo, oh my my my...I hope they do something about that big bully...I'm just a poor factory worker/waitress/garbage man/nurse/construction worker etc...boo-hoo-hoo....where is that tv remote American Idol is on and I have child support to pay.
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

The final New York gun control provisions expected to be passed tonight hit a dozen major aspects including a much tighter assault weapon ban and restrictions on ammunition and sale of guns.
The provisions obtained by The Associated Press would create a mandatory police registry of assault weapons under a more restrictive definition. All private sales would require a background check done through a licensed dealer. The law would also create a more powerful tool to require the reporting of mentally ill people who say they intend to use a gun illegally.

"The Beautiful People"
And I don't want you and I don't need you Don't bother to resist, or I'll beat you It's not your fault that you're always wrong The weak ones are there to justify the strong
The beautiful people, the beautiful people It's all relative to the size of your steeple You can't see the forest for the trees You can't smell your own sh*t on your knees
There's no time to discriminate, Hate every motherfucker That's in your way
[Chorus:] Hey you, what do you see? Something beautiful, something free? Hey you, are you trying to be mean? If you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean
The worms will live in every host It's hard to pick which one they eat most
The horrible people, the horrible people It's as anatomic as the size of your steeple Capitalism has made it this way, Old-fashioned fascism will take it away
[Chorus]
There's no time to discriminate, Hate every motherfucker That's in your way
The beautiful people The beautiful people (aahh) [x4]
[Chorus x2]
The beautiful people [x8]

New blood joins this earth And quikly he's subdued Through constant pained disgrace The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in This whipping boy done wrong Deprived of all his thoughts The young man struggles on and on he's known A vow unto his own That never from this day His will they'll take away
What I've felt What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never be Never see Won't see what might have been
What I've felt What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never free Never me So I dub thee unforgiven
They dedicate their lives To running all of his He tries to please them all This bitter man he is Throughout his life the same He's battled constantly This fight he cannot win A tired man they see no longer cares The old man then prepares To die regretfully That old man here is me
What I've felt What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never be Never see Won't see what might have been
What I've felt What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never free Never me So I dub the unforgiven
You labeled me I'll label you So I dub the unforgiven
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

– New York: The state will be the first to enact tougher laws. It expects to vote on the package on Monday, which expands New York’s ban on assault weapons, limits magazines to seven bullets on ANY GUN that holds a clip of more than seven bullets, which includes shotguns, handguns, and non-assault rifles, and requires background checks for private gun sales.

At the present time, a criminal, an escaped felon, an escaped mental patient can go into a 'gun show' and walk out with an AR15 with no background checks what so ever. Hand him the gun... he hands you the cash... and walks away. 40% of sales that take place at 'gun shows' have no background checks. Do you see a flaw in the present law???

It doesn't, this is a law against something that never was a problem to begin with. 99.9% of all background checks go through with no problem, we seen it here in NY where gunshows already must have background checks done. This will not stop private sales and there is no way to stop private sales, this is basically a law which they hope citizens will obey.

According to FBI statistics, well over 80% of perps in gun related crimes are NOT the legal owner of the weapon. The Newtown killer stole his mothers guns, which were legally bought and she would have passed a background check. The Columbine killers got their guns from a friend through a 3rd party purchase at a gun show...This friend would have passed a background check.
The rules set in the new NYS law will only penalize the people that follow laws in the first place. NYS has just created an instant black market for ar-15's and the like because most people that have them will not register them and then be held to the limits the law prescribes. Criminals don't obey laws, that's why we call them criminals.

Under existing law, I could sell anyone a gun. Give me the money, take the gun... in a private sale. The reason that criminals, convicted felons,(or escaped felons) and mentally unstable people go to gun shows IS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY WOULD FLUNK A BACKGROUND CHECK IN A GUN STORE. Henry points out that : 99.9% of all background checks go through with no problem, Of course they do! Why file a background check that you know you will fail... instead go to a gun show or private sale and Felons walk away with AR15's.

Are you really that naive to think just because the state bans the private sale of Ar-15's and the like it just isn't going to happen anymore? I know five people that have ar-15's that have no intention of registering them.. and if they sell them someday, they'll do it underground... as long as there is a demand, there will be a market..either legal or not...Tax free cigarettes, fireworks, drugs, guns...there will be no difference

NY has background checks at gunshows already, arguing about a topic you know nothing about again, well whats new.

To date, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) has prevented nearly 1.8 million criminals and other prohibited purchasers from buying guns. The law also has a deterrent effect—prohibited purchasers are less likely to try to buy guns when they know comprehensive background check requirements are in place.
Unfortunately, current federal law requires criminal background checks only for guns sold through licensed firearm dealers, which account for just 60% of all gun sales in the United States. A loophole in the law allows individuals not “engaged in the business” of selling firearms to sell guns without a license—and without processing any paperwork. That means that two out of every five guns sold in the United States change hands without a background check.
Only six states (CA, CO, IL, NY, RI) require universal background checks on all firearm sales at gun shows. However private sales with out background checks IS LEGAL. A buyer at a gun show in these states, makes the sale with the buyer... walks to the parking lot with the gun and the cash, then sells the gun to the Convicted Felon with NO BACKGROUND CHECK.
This law is about 'closing loopholes' that allow criminals to easily buy guns... Isn't that what all of us want?
