This "free" country has just about had all the "free" squeezed out of it.

It's amazing that when Benjamin Franklin minted the first coins for the United States, they didn't say "In God We Trust" on them. They said "Mind Your Business"
That's a true fact.

Too bad people and govt. feel the need to try and treat adults like we are children.

How about this...When somebody does something wrong, arrest them. Quit trying to figure out how to stop things that can't be stopped. And quit trying to politicize every damn horrible thing that happens.

It's shameful.
Does your "freedom" also allow you to collect nuclear bombs, CP, masses of illegal drugs, drive when drunk, rob a bank. Because you "choose" to?

I see your reply the same as I get from a child when told not to do something.

Will even ONE criminal in the United States be hindered for even one second from getting a gun?

Or will this apply only to LAW ABIDING citizens who aren't going to use their guns for criminal activity anyway?

Just answer those questions. No emotional "feelings" or nonsense. And no lectures.
Just simply answer them "yes" or "no".

And when you're done answering those questions, then ask yourself: "What is the purpose of what Obama is wanting to do? If it doesn't "help" stop criminals, then what is the REAL purpose?"
Hint: There is ALWAYS money and power involved in anything politicians do.
This law isn't going to stop criminals getting guns. It will hinder idiots getting them. The kind of people who think that can do whatever they choose to because they want to do it. Like, walk into a school fully armed and kill as many as possible. Because hanging themselves in their room, isn't going to give them, their 15 minutes of fame.

As for a simple yes or no. Yes, it will hinder criminals from getting guns. Criminals like the kids who can get hold of Dad's guns and go into a school to kill people.

I agree with you about money in politics. So vote for people who aren't sponsored by big businesses.
