It’s time. Join more than 750 mayors and 750,000 grassroots supporters to demand that President Obama and Congress step forward with a plan to end gun violence.

Our efforts cannot bring back the 20 innocent children murdered in Newtown, CT -- or the 34 people murdered with guns every day in America. But we can prevent future tragedies by passing common sense legislation that will:

Require a criminal background check for every gun sold in America
Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines
Make gun trafficking a federal crime, including real penalties for “straw purchasers”

Do you ever read the Chicago Tribune?? It's on their front page pretty much every day. In order to hear about it, you have to actually read a newspaper or watch a news program.

   7   2:02pm Thu 27 Dec 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   It wont end gun violence. Criminals do not get guns through legal means. Penalties for illegal gun possession are not nearly enough, and are enforced even less. For instance in California a felon with a gun can get 18 mo, 2 years, or 3 years. Often since those sentence guidelines are so low, the DA will prosecute only the probation violations which have a much easier standard to meet but only carry a year sentence. The very obvious solution is to send the criminal to prison for a very long time...lets say 15 years. Then there is no issue since there is no longer a criminal available to obtain a gun. We even have a real life example thats been copied elsewhere(LOL at the backlash citing "racism"...seriously WTF?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Exile

I bet if i put you in prison for 15 years... You could be released and end up snapping and killing someone. Prison probably creates more criminals than it rehabilitates. Our prison system needs reform... Otherwise its just a kicking the can way of punishing people.

IMO lock the dude up, keep violent criminal off the street for X number of years. Thats X number of years where he can't commit crime. Or you can leave him on the street and ban guns. Yeah, he won't get a illegal gun. Right? Oh wait, he already has an illegal gun. How do people every become so naive?

The politicians have been broadcasting for weeks that they plan on coming after the guns. If they truly wanted to do this, wouldn't they pass some behind the scenes legislation quietly to advance their agenda? Instead, they have been very "vocal", which has resulted in massive purchasing of firearms and ammo? If they are so "concerned" about firearms in the hands of the citizens, they certainly have added a whole lot more in the last few weeks with all their statements. Why?? Is this actually what they wanted to happen? Are they trying to deplete all existing inventory? Are they trying to increase sales and tax revenues? Are they trying to make it easier to grab the guns in the future from the peasants? Are they just totally incompetent and engage mouth before engaging brain and didn't realize it would lead to this volume of recent purchases? Since the politicians can't seem to do the right thing with our laws and economy, do they want the armed citizens to "force" them to do the right thing? What else could it be??
