"It would be horribly tragic if my ability to protect myself or my family were to be taken away," Sheats wrote in March on her Facebook page, "but that's exactly what Democrats are determined to do by banning semi-automatic handguns."
Texas mother, a vocal gun rights advocate, killed by police after fatally shooting her two daughters during 'family argument'
The law-abiding responsible gun owner posted that just before she Second Amendmented her two daughters. Damn Democrats trying to protect a couple of girls from their dingbat mother with a gun.

Its sickening how long gun violence has gone on in USA (and the world really).
Politics in USA are especially corrupt. Anytime something big happens (Florida incident as a big recent example)- there is outcry for more gun control laws. But then it dies down.. because democrats and republicans are whiny little brats that only care about their own agendas! Elected officials should be working for ALL the people, not just their personal friends. It doesn't help that NRA likely has bribes to many people in power.
In my view- there is no good reason for any person (except for military, police, etc) to own most types of guns. I can understand protection to a point- but thats simply a handgun. You don't need a semi-automatic for that. As for hunters- fine you can have your guns, but background checks need to happen.
It still puzzles me why people on "no fly list" arent more restricted? They are suspicious (and many times have done something wrong in the past) so its very likely they will do it again. Many just wait for the right time- "oh I'll just wait until I'm not being monitored as much..so I can do something" is the likely mindset of these sick individuals.
It's just sickening that its 2016 and still so much gun violence (and just violence in general). Most times its over race, religion and money. So lame that people can't just respect each other's views in a peaceful manner. Everyone doesn't have to agree with everyone else. People that disagree shouldn't be shot, period.

Everything in the US is about capitalism and the rights of corporations to make as much profit as possible with as little or no regulation as possible. The politicians don't hesitate to walk all over the constitutional rights of US citizens, but they will never interfere with the rights of corporations to make a dollar. The gun nuts think their fighting for their rights is the reason they have Second Amendment rights, which is 100% BS. The reason the gun laws are what they are is because the gun industry pays millions of dollars to the politicians, to block any and all gun regulations, so they can continue to make billions of dollars by selling firearms to murders.
The air line industry doesn't pay that much money to the politicians because they don't need to. They can make a good profits without flying terrorists on their planes. But the gun industry needs to sell guns to murders, terrorists, and other criminals, because those are their best customers, and by encouraging terror attacks and mass murder, other people get scared and buy even more guns. Thats how they sell more guns in the US then in any other country in the world.
It's all about corporate profits. The politicians could care less that tens of thousands of Americans are dying because of gun violence. Lives are expendable, but corporate profits are not.

It could be an American honor killing by a lily white bigot who objects to Hispanics. At least, we all know that's it would have been portrayed as an honor killing by the media had the mother been a Muslim, rather than just a mentally-ill gun nut.

And the poor woman had to worry about the Democratic gun grabbers trying to take her gun and preventting her from carrying out the honor killing on her family.
Anytime you hear a gun nut claim they need a gun to protect their family, be scared, and ask yourself, why that person has so many enemies that want to hurt their family that badly.

This isn't a case of both sides do it. It has been democrats and democratic organizations pushing for improved gun control laws. Republicans have been doing everything in their power to never let a vote through lest they offend the NRA.

That's true to a point- democrats have been trying to do more for gun control. However there's been times when democrats have had the house and/or senate majority.. right? They didn't do much then (correct me if I'm wrong, I don't follow politics all the time). I'm really hoping they can get house and senate later this year, then perhaps some change can happen. Its doubtful but who knows..

The last time Democrats had a filibuster proof majority is just after Obama was elected and it was only a couple of months later when Ted Kennedy died and Scott Brown was sworn in. As a result Republicans were able to filibuster everything democrats proposed. Nancy Pelosi had passed 350 bills that died in the senate due to Republican obstructionism. But during those two months democrats had control they passed passed Lily Ledbetter, the stimulus and many other very substantial pieces of legislation. Despite all the Republican intransigence, Obama is still set to be one of the most productive presidents in the last 75 years.
