David you seem to be the ignorant person here. The 2nd amendment makes no mention of muskets. To keep and bear arms… doesn't say muskets. To Keep and Bear arms so people can defend themselves. I prefer to be able to defend my self and my family, waiting for the police = being a victim and I refuse to be a victim. If you want to be a victim or a subject of the government then that is your choice but many of us choose differently.

Shawn Rosvold, what's wrong when despots register guns with the pretext of "universal background checks"?
You're so naive why this is being pushed– read your history because it's just repeating itself– and bungling fools like you never learn it's bitter lessons!

If this were a right you cared about like gay marriage, (which I support whole heartedly in fact)you would know that no one wants "automatic weapons", we are discussing the modern day musket. The natural evolution of the sporting rifle. One bullet per one squeeze of the trigger.Should the first amendment only apply to quill and ink well? Our background check system determines who gets one and it is already pretty strict. Something once again you wouldn't know about because it doesn't affect you. As for people with training and authority that can backfire horribly — ie: the LAPD shooting everyone that moved on their quest for Dorner. I do agree that training is very important – in fact a law that says a first time purchase of a firearm should include some mandatory training would be totally agreeable with most of us 'gun nuts.'

I see some really sane ones being proposed too. You keep saying "no one wants to take your guns!" yet bills are being proposed that run the gamut from banning hunting ammunition to one bullet per gun to outright confiscation. Look it up! You know nothing but what CNN tells you because this isn't your rights we are talking about because it is obviously something you don't care about. If you investigate you will will see insane bills being floated all over the country. There are 22,000 laws on the books — some sane , some stupid — how about we enforce those.

I love hearing how background checks should be more strict from people who have no basis for comparison. The truth is that they are already pretty damned strict. You can have a squeaky clean record and be turned down for a purchase- happens all the time. Ask any FFL dealer. When it does happen you have to fill out a form challenging the denial then wait 30 days for the govt. to admit they made a boo-boo or that someone was having a bad day and arbitraily denied it. Then after 30 days you can get a 'conditional proceed' which means you can finally have the gun but that it still isn't legally yours until they have double and triple checked to make sure your not a criminal. On top of this we are now supposed to register our weapons so that if the law gets changed and they suddenly have too many bullets or are of the wrong make and model later on down the road they can be easily confiscated? I invite anyone that thinks background checks are not 'strict' enough to go to any gun shop in America and do a background check and try to buy one yourself before deciding that they are not strict enough. In fact this is being presented by the media in such a way as to make it sound as if we don't already have very strict background checks. It is a gross misrepresentation and an outright lie.

Your a moron, read history they could also own cannons which were the equal to a tank in those days. You are a moron.

This is how it got started in California.. look at what a safe and law abiding state that is…crime reports tell the story, don't buy the lie.. gun control does not save lives or make anyone safer except criminals.

we need to organize a recall election now. This is our state and they are not representing us.
