Backround checks are done sir...as to training
it's like todays computers...point and click.
there really not hard to use, you load them point it and shoot it.
Safty is the 1st think you learn when you have a gun you have respect for it...I own 3 handguns all semi hi-cal with 15rd clips and to sport rifles an AR-15 and a Mini-14...
Those guns will one day keep my family and myself safe from intruders or our government....but I enjoy target shooting..have found out to be a prey good shot....

God bless ya Leroy. As long as you're obeying the laws of the land, I see no problem. I also agree with you about the teaching of safety. The NRA is actually pretty strong there, but the are weak in the area of backround checks. We'll have to agree to disagree there.

I'm not suprised that Huckabee would make a such typical Redneck comment..before a typical Redneck crowd where he felt he could make such a stupid comment...What he doesn't get now is he needs to head on back to Sleepy Hollow and sit on the porch..because his days of running for a National office is over...

Like I said, I'm not against gun ownership. I just think there's some folks, like convicted felons, who shouldn't have access to guns.

If the instant backround checks are "useless", how is one to check the credentials of a potential buyer??

Yeah. Heaven forbid a Democrat be held responsible for what comes out of their mouth.

"Typical redneck"?
Typical phrase from from one who is typically intellectually dishonest.
BTW, he's from Lttle Rock, not Sleepy Hollow.

BTW Larry. How do you feel about backround checks before purchases of knoves? Baseball bats? Flammables (i.e., gasoline)? Automobiles?

...uh, knives.

360,000,000 guns in America at best guess.

100,000 of them were misused last year by thugs and mopes. That's probaby high since many of the misuses were with the same gun over and over.

That means that YOU want to subject the owners of the other 359,900,000 guns to your idea of "testing" when they have done nothing to warrant it.

And THAT is the perfect definition of a liberal... it doesn't matter how it works or if it's needed... as long as it makes them "feel good" about "doing something."

1) It is against the law to sell firearms to someone from out of state.

2) If your friends are picking up other things than actual firearms it has nothing to do with either firearms or gun shows. If Californai outlaws buffalo jerky and someone buys buffalo jerky at a gun show in Colorado that is no concern of California or the seller/buyer of buffalo jerky.

3) And the FBI is quite content with instant background checks seeing how virtually every state uses one in conjunction WITH the FBI. You don't bother to give cites for you assertations, do you.

4) As monty said, EVERY seller and every buyer at a gun show has to obey and follow every single state and federal law concerning the buying and selling of guns. If they choose to break the laws wit the BATF and a couple of hundred policemen wandering around then no amount of "laws" are going to stop them from doing so.

My greatest concern over Huckabee's comment is that he said it in a crowded room in front of cameras, knowing that he had a large audience. If he is that willing to speak that openly in public, what kinds of things does he say and believe in private? How many racists like him still exist in this country?

Well, there's plenty on BOTH sides of the aisle. One only has to search news articles for the answer.
Funny thing is, how do you figure what he said makes him a racist?
What else has he ever said for you to label him a 'racist'?

The TRUTH about the 'NRA':

“The National Rifle Association has been in support of workable, enforceable gun control legislation since its very inception in 1871.”

—NRA Executive Vice President Franklin L. Orth. NRA’s American Rifleman Magazine, March 1968, P. 22.

“The NRA supported The National Firearms Act of 1934 which taxes and requires registration of such firearms as machine guns, sawed-off rifles and sawed-off shotguns.… NRA support of Federal gun legislation did not stop with the earlier Dodd bills. It currently backs several Senate and House bills which, through amendment, would put new teeth into the National and Federal Firearms Acts.”

— American Rifleman, March 1968, P. 22 [NRA Supported the National Firearms Act of 1934, by Angel Shamaya, March 29, 2002.]
http://gunshowonthenet.com/AfterTheFact/NRAGu...

“…As a matter of official policy, NRA does not call for the BATF to be abolished. In fact, the Association does not object to many of the federal laws against violent criminal behavior committed with firearms that BATF is charged with enforcing. Since we support certain federal laws relative to firearms, it only stands to reason that we would not promote abolishing the federal agency tasked with enforcing those laws….”

“…Furthermore, it has long been NRA’s position that a greater emphasis should be placed on enforcing existing laws that target violent gun crimes. In fact, NRA spent much of the eight years under Bill Clinton admonishing his Department of Justice for its failure to aggressively prosecute violent criminals who are caught violating federal gun laws. As part of that campaign, NRA began promoting the “Project Exile” prosecution model. In case you were not already aware, Project Exile is a cooperative effort between federal, state, and local law enforcement and prosecutors that calls for the full prosecution of violent gun crimes….”

The NRA was started by then current and former government employees. Which of course are the very people wih the most reason to see We The People disarmed.“Shall NOT be infringed” is not that difficult of a concept to understand. Yet the NRA, and the majority of politicians seem to have great difficulty in grasping the obvious meaning.

Support the 'NRA'? Ah no, thanks. Id rather support organizations that TRULY fight for our God-given INALIENABLE Natural Right:

"The people cannot be all, & always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independent 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century & a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it's natural manure. Our Convention has been too much impressed by the insurrection of Massachusetts: and in the spur of the moment they are setting up a kite to keep the hen-yard in order. I hope in God this article will be rectified before the new constitution is accepted."

That's RIGHT people, it was intended to SECURE the God-given, Natural, Inherent and Inalienable Right of those that HAD transgressed the law. ALL 'gun control laws' are REPUGNANT to the U.S. Constitution.

Huckabee, making such a statement, having aspired for the Presidency and now seeking to be VP, Notwithstanding any and all other race-biased examples you are able to extract, is a lowly, cheap extension of himself.

Agreed. As is any of the front runners and their handlers.

It would have been a BETTER joke if Huckabee had said someone was shooting at your Mammy. And she hit the floor, ducking the bullets. Agree?
