St. John: Now's not the time for more gun control

"The ones that they see right in front of them are going to be the ones who are going to protect them if anything should go bad." Matt St. John.

I feel so much safer.

so the 'idea man' for the Colorado mass murder has something so say? an apology to the victims I should hope.

hey Mr St John how does it feel to be 'the wind beneath my wings' of a mass murderer?

Aurora is what happens when you depend on police for your safety and security.

A not so well regulated militia of one just killed twelve souls and wounded seventy people.

My thoughts on the slaughter in Aurora. A not so well regulated militia of one just killed twelve souls and wounded seventy people. Some of the wounded will succumb to their wounds and die in the next days or weeks. Others will never fully recover. Some children will suffer the loss of a parent. Some parents will suffer the loss of a child.

All involved in this will be effected in some way, Short term or long term they will all carry this tragedy into the future. Many will develop PTSD and will require aid from mental health workers for months or years to come. Some will require help until the day they die.

A 100 round clip/magazine is not a self defense accessory. It is weapon of war. I'm not to fond of war either.

And the old man in Florida who saved lives in the internet cafe would disagree with you along with the people who DIDN'T die because of him exercising his right to keep and bear arms.

People, Groups, and Anti-gun Politicians like you are the reason there are not more law abiding conceal carry allowed on this great nations lands. The 2nd amendments has nothing to do with this case of a single intelligent individual who ABC news accused of being a Tea Party member and now has egg on there face again.
Now is there any less suffering when a natural weather event kills w/o warning, or when a person hits the gas and plows into a crowd of people and kills dozens, Tragedy happens all the time, Guns, Knives, Box Cutters, screw drivers are not the issue, it is the person committing the crime.
So now your medical scientific mind has determined that PTSD will be amount these people, How easy for you to determine that, can you predict the weather too....
How about those that use drugs and then turn to selling drugs, they are killing millions every day that way, and yet people want drugs legalized.
Has any nation on this planet who has disarmed there citizens from gun ownership, carry, and usage stopped the criminals from using guns and committing crimes????
I am not fond of war either, and i wished congress would do there job and stop any President from getting US TROOPS involved in any size of conflict unless Congress approves it 1st....

You assume I am anti-gun, which I am not. I am a responsible gun owner and have been since I was a young boy. I was also at one time a member of the NRA, until the NRA became the cheerleader for the arms industry and I let my membership lapse.

"It may appear to some that there is evidence of gun bashers running amuck in the media, even favoring a rewrite of the Constitution. I suggest that it as evidence of just the opposite: how the National Rifle Association and gun lobby have dominated the terms of the media debate on gun control."

"Indeed, media bias in favor of the NRA's view of the Second Amendment (as protecting individual gun ownership) is so pervasive that even many gun-control supporters seem unaware that the federal high courts have never found a gun law to have violated the Second Amendment."

"The Amendment is only 27 words: "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." While the NRA emphasizes only the last 14 words, the U.S. Supreme Court and appeals courts have focused on "well-regulated militia" and "security of a free State" to rule that Second Amendment rights are reserved to states and their militias – nowadays, the National Guards."

"The truth is - and one would hardly know it from the mass media - that since the Supreme Court's unanimous Miller decision in 1939, all federal appeals courts, whether dominated by liberals or conservatives, have agreed that the Second Amendment does not confer gun rights on individuals. The NRA view, opposed even by such right-wing judges as Robert Bork, has been consistently rejected."

"It's basic journalistic instinct, not bias, that prompts reporters to point out that the gun-related crime and death rate in the U.S. is many times higher than that of any other advanced industrial country (in 1994, there were 142.4 gun deaths per million people in the U.S.; 4.1 in England and Wales; 0.5 in Japan). NRA supporters complain that reporters move too quickly from these stark statistical comparisons to differences in gun regulation -- relatively lax in the U.S., very strict in most advanced countries."

"Frankly, a correlation between gun laws and gun deaths is too obvious to ignore. Mainstream journalists do often ignore another key factor contributing to our much higher violent crime rate: poverty. The U.S. is the only advanced industrial country with so much of it."

I agree with the above quotations.

That article is a lie. SCOTUS ruled otherwise in McDonald and Heller. They didn't concentrate on the "well regulated militia".
And "fair" is anything but.

It is not exactly a lie. I mis-used, in good faith, outdated information from 2000. Your depiction is the correct one.

Another oops by the Alamogordo Liberal, Outdated information, incorrect information, typical of your type, put out a weak apology after being caught by a lie...

For a supposely gun owner, you are a disappointnment in your liberal views on the 2nd....

I wonder if you believe the 2nd is only meant for the government to authorized gun ownership.

Fortunately, I am not here to satisfy your stereotype of a liberal nor to parrot insecure people slobbering religiously over the 2nd Amendment.

There are a lot of nations on this planet that had there guns rights, ownership taken away, which followed by there rights of freedom, yet liberals like you see no problem with that at all.

I will always be slobbering over my rights that your type want to remove from this society.

You fit the mold of a liberal to a T....

When are they gonna legalise grenades. I really wont feel safe until I can carry a grenade.
