[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"] Yeah people seem not to comprehend this.. IF Andrew Jackson was shot at by today's guns, the guy would have unloaded a clip on and killed him.. Instead of missing with a musket shot in which Jackson instead of waiting for the guy to spend 30 seconds reloading, beat the Sh!t out of him with his cane.. sSubZerOo

Just about every president from the last 100 years should have been impeached for one thing or another (or quite a few things in a some cases) and yet the only impeachment we have is for lying about having an affair. It's not going to happen

It's not common sense. What is common sense is that criminals will find ways to hurt people. That has been shown through the increasing violent crime rates in Australia and the UK. People who legally obtain guns aren't doing the damage here. Putting more restrictions on people who do no harm obviously doesn't do much for us.

hartsickdiscipl

Correct, criminals will always find ways to hurt people. The KEY is making these "ways" limited as much as possible. One way is to ban public guns. Another, like you say, is to put more restrictions and harsh penalties. Australia doesn't have these kind of shootings each year like America does. And fyi, the crime rate has gone down in the last few years. Our problem here is ALCOHOL.

So ban Alcohol. See what your next problem is and ban that too. Then the next one, and the next one... You see where we end up?

With the number of guns in the US, outlawing certain types will only keep them out of the hands of law-abiding citizens. Criminals and potentially a tyrannical government will still have them. No dice.

Well, Australia certainly is getting to the point where it might need to. But giving everyone guns doesn't make is safer mate. Also, a GUN is a lot deadlier than Alcohol. I'm not saying TOTALLY ban guns. By all means have laws that make you have to have a certificate to carry one (like people who practice sports with guns). BAN the whole, "I'll buy a carton of milk and a gun in the same shop".

As for the Guns thing:

Having less access (or less easy access) to guns isn't going to make the country totally safe, but in today's day and age, it WILL make it safer. That's common sense and anyone who doesn't think so is deluded.

I live in Australia. Are we totally safe from wackos like that kid that took out the children? Of course not. But having no public access to an assault rifle makes it a lot more difficult for him to kill.

I like the idea. However, I don't think it will work due to the number of states needed for something like this to succeed. There are other issues as well.

There are already some people working on getting him impeached-

Those articles are encouraging. I understand that these 19 states alone do not have enough congressmen to impeach Obama, but it would still be a very strong political statement for them and senators to be faced with recall elections, even if they ended up winning the elections. I think it would force politicians to take the possibility of impeachment seriously.

What law will you say the POTUS has broken to get him impeached? Can't plant an intern on this guy because he's happily married.

What Laihendi fails to realize is that the American electorate is full of dumbasses. If the general voting public were smart, we wouldn't have congressmen and presidents supporting things like the patriot act in D.C. But a las, they're not.

I know WHY sometimes it's called America, but I prefer the term US, United States, USA.

America is mostly the continent. If you are from Argentina (like me) you are also "technically" from America.

Can I get the FREE Cookie anyway?

There's nothing "simple" about it. Making guns publicly available just gives people more (and easier) choices to acquire them. What's so hard to understand about that?

Also, Australia has problems, but they don't have shootings like these.

And making things illegal doesn't help much. America banned all alcohol in the 1920s. Guess what happened. Gang culture exploded as people made underground liquor, sold it illegally, and transported it across the Canadian border.

Not illegal. CONTROLLED more.

But that's fine. Keep making excuses and keep guns easy to access. Public Shooting have been happening since Columbine and before, but I guess you guys think that's part of life?

And you can't buy them without licensing, training, background checks for criminal records, etc. Any person can't just walk into wal-mart and buy a rifle.

It's not. I've seen videos of people going into A-Mart or whatever and walking out with a gun. You can't do that in other countries.

And you can't buy them without licensing, training, background checks for criminal records, etc. Any person can't just walk into wal-mart and buy a rifle.

You haven't been to a Wal-mart in Texas lol. There isn't even a waiting period if you buy from a Pawn shop here :(

It's already really heavily controlled. Larger background checks is all you really need.

You know how on election night, conservatives who had been trapped inside their own little bubble world where they were CERTAIN that Obama was about to lose and that, if anything, Romney was heading to victory in a landslide based on what hacks and grifters had been telling them (which is what they wanted to hear and not what the polls were actually showing)? I honestly expected the delusion that Obama wasn't going to be president for another four years to have subsided by now. I mean, after a few days where everyone - again - carefully explained the concept of "reality" being an objective thing that exists completely independent of what they might prefer it to be would have sunk in by now. Lai - I sympathize. I truly do. For liberals, the W. years were absolutely AGONIZING. But you gotta let this go man. For your own mental health. Obama is the president and will be for another four years.

I'm just going to go out on a limb here and suggest that a constitutional law professor with a vast team of legal experts at his disposal would know a teensy bit more about the President's powers than you ever will, Lai. And if your complaint is that the Constitution is giving him too much power...shouldn't you be calling for a new Amendment, not an impeachment? It's not like those powers are magically going to go away once you guys get a new Commander-in-Chief.

Just about every president from the last 100 years should have been impeached for one thing or another (or quite a few things in a some cases) and yet the only impeachment we have is for lying about having an affair. It's not going to happen

scoots9
Nixon would have been impeached, but he resigned first, and Obama has yet to do anything near impeachable, because executive orders whether we like them are not, are within his authority, and is stated vaguely in Article II, Section 1, Clause 1 of the Constitution, and furthered by the declaration "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" made in Article II, Section 3, Clause 5. So executive while may be a stretch are not unconstitutional if used in a matter of national security.

Congress has done it's best, as a whole, to use every loophole they can find in order to 1up the opposite side. The President can do the same. If its a loophole then he has every right to use it if he wishes to. He isn't a criminal, or they all are, and not a damn one of them has a foundation to throw a stone.

[QUOTE="Jebus213"] Like most Europeans, Australians, etc. you oversimplify the gun debate. You also use your own countries as examples which doesn't work.wis3boi

There's nothing "simple" about it. Making guns publicly available just gives people more (and easier) choices to acquire them. What's so hard to understand about that?

Also, Australia has problems, but they don't have shootings like these.

And making things illegal doesn't help much. America banned all alcohol in the 1920s. Guess what happened. Gang culture exploded as people made underground liquor, sold it illegally, and transported it across the Canadian border.

actually use and the crime associated with it dropped by about 50%, and that was the goal of banning it.

Reducing crime and violence associated with it.
