Guest EXPAT Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Breaking News: The New York Senate has approved a gun control bill by a vote of 43 to 18. The bill targets assault rifles, high-capacity clips of ammunition and requires reports of the mentally ill who pose a threat to others with illegal guns. The Democrat-led Assembly is expected to easily pass the measure. http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/politics&id=8953877 Quote

Guest hitoallusa Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 If I were a daughter to head of state then I would be protected by armed guards.. I think I would be a big trouble since I might feign an event to be held by cute security guards. A princess from Monaco married her security guard but got divorced soon after.. Anyways, I'm not so sure why the NRA is so illogical as I am. They should let go of the person who made this vid... We live in the 21st century where most people are literate and educated... Quote
AdamSmith Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Hito, a little common sense please. The NRA does this because it and its lobbying is backed and funded by the gun industry. Get it? http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-01-12/politics/36311919_1_nra-leaders-nra-officers-mighty-gun-lobby Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 The vid doesn't make sense and that was simply my point. I'm aware who they are funded by.. Quote

AdamSmith Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Panetta doesn't mince words.Leon Panetta Defends Obama's Gun Control PackageBy LOLITA C. BALDOR 01/17/13 07:42 AM ET EST APVICENZA, Italy -- Defense Secretary Leon Panetta fired off a strong defense of gun control legislation Thursday, in front of a decidedly skeptical audience.Speaking to about 150 members of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, Panetta said steps can be taken to protect kids in school without undermining the Second Amendment."Who the hell needs armor-piercing bullets except you guys in battle?" Panetta told the soldiers at the U.S. Army Garrison Vicenza in northern Italy. "For the life of me, I don't know why the hell people have to have assault weapons."Panetta, who said he believes in the Second Amendment and has been a longtime duck hunter, was asked about the issue by a soldier who wanted to know what steps the Obama administration was going to take to deal with attacks in schools that "don't have to do with tearing apart our Second Amendment."Known for his often blunt and colorful language, Panetta added that things can be done to protect children "so that the nuts that are out there won't use these kinds of weapons to wipe them out."President Barack Obama's sweeping gun control package includes calls for a ban on assault weapons and a universal requirement for background checks on gun purchases.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/17/leon-panetta_n_2494452.html Quote
