Annoy a liberal today. Hit them with facts.
There is a lawsuit too.
It's saying that people who already own guns, and have gone through a 10-day waiting period, should be allowed to get their NEW firearm after they pass the background check.
That would mean the get their firearm immediately to a couple of days after purchase, depending on how long the background check takes.

What's going on with the CCW case?

Stuck in the 9th circuit court of appeals last I heard.

"I do respect the rights of others in respect to firearms--I only ask that you respect mine."
Well said. Gun ownership is a personal choice and someone who is not comfortable with guns is better off not owning one. To each their own.

My guess is that its an anti-gun group putting this out in order to portray what they (wrongly)see as the hypocricy of the Republican convention being held at a gun free facility.
Its a misfire, though, because the event will have metal detectors and Secret Service present. Given the legitimate risk of an assassination attempt, common sense demands that security would prohibit weapons and subject all those entering the venue to a search.

I agree. But a lot of people don't have common sense. Just scroll through this thread and you'll see people trying to draw a connection between politicians with armed security and their stance in favor of gun regulations. "They are anti-gun so they shouldn't have armed guards". Simple minded arguments for simple minded people.
"Pro-gun" or "anti-gun" the facts remain the same including the reticence of the candidates to comment. People face "legitimate" threats every day and in this case, with the propensity for violence shown, it is more likely feuding members of the public would face more threat than the candidates themselves.

$50 for my fingerprints in my state. They waived the class for me because of prior military service. I just had to wait 30 days for my HQL license. Lasts for 10 years
So...the idea that one NEEDS a gun for protection from the "bad guys" is way, way, way overblown. Fascinating how the same statistics can mean different things.
you mean Worldstar didn't have a video of the argument?

But that info-graph, in its conclusion, discounts the 19,200 that died of suicide-by-gun.
Yes, yes, if you really want to kill yourself, you will, but honestly most people don't have the stones to cut their wrists, etc.
Guns are easy, if we're talking su-i-cide.
I semi-agree with what you're saying, but let's be clear:
Free and easy access to guns and poor mental-health treatment in this country, combined with a government that can't get out of it's own way, much less get the NRA johnson out of it's mouth, equals thousands that will die each and every year.
Not because we're not respecting the 2nd Amendment, but because we 'respect' it so much that we can't get our
together and implement rational change.
