How sick are these gun nuts who feel safer in a country in which someone charged with “making terroristic threats and harassment” can get an AR-15?

"They were screaming, 'They're shooting at us. They're shooting at us,'" Sabb said. "Thank God that they were able to get home, (because) there are a lot of kids (who don't). Trayvon (Martin) -- he didn't make it home. What if my son wouldn't have made it home?"

Violence Against Women Act Gets Tangled Up In Gun Rights Debate

However, House Republicans broadly object to at least four new policies added to the bill to reauthorize VAWA — which expired back in February when Democrats objected to GOP efforts to include a short-term extension of the law in a spending deal. But the most controversial are new provisions to lower the criminal threshold to bar someone from buying a gun to include misdemeanor convictions of domestic abuse or stalking charges. Current law applies to felony convictions.

It would also close the so-called "boyfriend loophole" to expand existing firearm prohibitions to include dating partners convicted of abuse or stalking charges."Sometimes things are as simple as this: If we are doing a Violence Against Women Act and we are trying to save lives, why would you not close a simple loophole that says if someone has been convicted — convicted not accused! — convicted of domestic violence, that they not have access to a gun," said Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., who has shared her experiences growing up with an abusive father who owned a gun in her efforts to get the bill passed.

The National Rifle Association is calling for a "no" vote, and notified Capitol Hill offices this week that the NRA is "scoring" how lawmakers vote on the bill to measure future ratings and endorsements in elections. Congressional Republicans rarely run afoul of NRA positions on legislation.

The NRA is just worried that people convicted for domestic violence may not be able to defend themselves without a gun.

Sure. That makes sense.
 
Weird how they don’t want Second Amendment supporters to show up at their home. It’s almost like they’re dangerous people with guns.
 
Well the dangerous people are going to get guns no matter what so the good people need guns to stop the bad people and defend themselves.

Of course they are. Just ask them. Lectro has said on this board he would kill any police officers that would try to take his guns.
 
I assume they’re talking about killing cops when they say they’re protecting themselves from an oppressive government.
 
Charges: Duluth man described plans for school, theater shootings

Police said Busch was working as a job coach, supervising a worker in the Duluth East High School cafeteria on Friday, when he communicated those messages to a "third party," who in turn notified law enforcement.

Officers entered the school with weapons drawn, escorting Busch out. He was unarmed, but police found a loaded and cocked .357 pistol in the trunk, according to the complaint.

At a search of his downtown apartment, authorities said they recovered multiple firearms, including one that would have fully automatic capabilities.
