I got a reply from Obama from that gun protest we did 6 months ago.

Dear Friend:

Thank you for taking the time to write. I have heard from many Americans regarding firearms policy and gun violence in our Nation, and I appreciate your perspective. From Aurora to Newtown to the streets of Chicago, we have seen the devastating effects gun violence has on our American family. I join countless others in grieving for all those whose lives have been taken too soon by gun violence.

Like the majority of Americans, I believe the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms. In this country, we have a strong tradition of gun ownership that has been handed down from generation to generation. Hunting and sport shooting are part of our national heritage. Yet, even as we acknowledge that almost all gun owners in America are responsible, when we look at the devastation caused by gun violence—whether in high-profile tragedies or the daily heartbreak that plagues our cities—we must ask ourselves whether we are doing enough.

While reducing gun violence is a complicated challenge, protecting our children from harm should not be a divisive one. Most gun owners agree that we can respect the Second Amendment while keeping an irresponsible, law-breaking few from inflicting harm on a massive scale. Most also agree that if we took commonsense steps to curtail gun violence, there would be fewer atrocities like the one that occurred in Newtown. We will not be able to stop every violent act, but if there is even one thing we can do to reduce gun violence—if even one life can be saved—then we have an obligation to try.

That is why I asked Vice President Joe Biden to identify concrete steps we can take to keep our children safe, help prevent mass shootings, and reduce the broader epidemic of gun violence in this country. He met with over 200 groups representing a broad cross-section of Americans and heard their best ideas. I have put forward a specific set of proposals based off of his efforts, and in the days ahead, I intend to use whatever weight this office holds to make them a reality.

My plan gives law enforcement, schools, mental health professionals, and the public health community some of the tools they need to help reduce gun violence. These tools include strengthening the background check system, helping schools hire more resource officers and counselors and develop emergency preparedness plans, and ensuring mental health professionals know their options for reporting threats of violence. And I directed the Centers for Disease Control to study the best ways to reduce gun violence—because it is critical that we understand the science behind this public health crisis. From improving mental health services to looking more closely at a culture that too often glorifies violence, we must leave no stone unturned when working to keep Americans safe.

As important as these steps are, they are not a substitute for action from Congress. To make a real and lasting difference, members of Congress must also act. As part of my comprehensive plan, I have called on them to pass some specific proposals right away. First, it is time to require a universal background check for anyone trying to buy a gun. Second, Congress should renew the 10-round limit on magazines and reinstate and strengthen the assault weapons ban. We should get tougher on those who buy guns with the purpose of selling them to criminals, and we should impose serious punishments on anyone who helps them do this.

These are reasonable, commonsense measures that have the support of the majority of the American people. But change will not come unless the American people demand it from their lawmakers. Now is the time to do the right thing for our children, our communities, and the country we love. We owe the victims of heartbreaking national tragedies and the countless unheralded tragedies each year nothing less than our best effort—to seek consensus in order to save lives and ensure a brighter future for our children.

Thank you, again, for writing. I encourage you to visit www.WhiteHouse.gov/NowIsTheTime to learn more about my Administration’s approach.

Sincerely,

Barack Obama

Nothing complicated about it. Execute convicted murderers, problem solved.

Same old bullshit. What is that paper I fill out when I buy a gun and wait for the phone call to the Alcohol Tobaco Fags and Explosives to give them the OK? Is that not a background check? How will limmiting mag capacity make things safer? All that does is limmit the rounds the good guy needs to protect themselves from the gangsters with full auto shit that are not legal to own guns in the 1st place.

All of this shit is about 1 thing....Keeping the public from ever standing up against a corrupt government.

The next stupid SOB that comes to my house wanting my vote is going to get a piece of my mind, and I'm going to video it.

The problem is, people are being taught that god does not exist, and the only consequence for taking someone's life is time in jail playing video games and watching free TV. That's what most do all day long for fun at home now.

I always tell people that even if you don't believe in god, you should still try to live by the Bible, because it is a instruction book on how to live.

Anyway, the 2nd amendment is about the public having the means to keep it's government in check. It has nothing to do with sport shooting or hunting. To me, that means the free public should be able to own the latest greatest weapons available.

AMEN!

That's right on the money hump

Amen humpster!! Hump for president

Preach on Hump.... Your 100% right!
HUMP FOR PRESIDENT!
Here is the deal. There is already a law that says you can not murder some one...and they still do it.
Just start hanging these somebitches on main street and make a reality tv show about it and that will do more to stop these POS than any gun law.

Next you will be audited by the IRS and be wire tapped by the FBI just because you dare to question the commander and thief.

I think Hump needs to run for office. Nevermind people with the balls to speak out against this run away socialist goverment get tarred and featherd by the media.

Don't count on this prof for any help:

Dang straight! If Hump was running for President I would vote for him! I know he would get this country straight. He don't take no bull either.

I think I'll just throw up.

That's the SOB that brainwashed my sister while she was there. She used to shoot guns with me in the back yard. After dad died, she would ask, where's the gun and how do I use it? before I would leave for work. Went off to get "educated" and now she turns her head and makes weird faces if she sees a gun. Also says stupid shit like "they proved the VT shooting could never have been prevented by a armed student or professor" "they proved it using paintball guns" etc etc etc. She now lives in NY where she is totally safe with all of their gun control. Also believes she can fight off two 200+ pound men who are trying to rape her because she had a self defense class in school where she did just that.

Hump, unfortunately, that type liberal mentality is widespread in all learning institutions. I work with college students from VT and the stuff the believe is unreal.
They say I am old school and the stuff I believe in is out dated.
I fear by the time they realize that what they believe is not how the world really works, it's gonna be too late.

The thought process of many Americans are being molded and shaped by both liberal professor's and 95 percent of the media. If you tell a person daily that they are bad if they oppose gun control, over time many will change what they believe just to be like everyone else. We are seeing this in our society on many issues, not just gun control. When most of the press choses not to tell Americans the truth but instead what they want us to hear, then we have a major problem. I have said before that the media have become a threat to our freedom. I truly believe that the press no longer holding certain politicians accountable is thd biggest threat we face as a once capitalist society. Ths is only going to get worse.

If the American people in general would go back and study history they would see what is coming here.  The elite powers of the world have used the same system for centuries to tear down governments and steal the wealth of nations for personal gain.  Take the time and effort to find out who really pulls the strings in our government today, many will be shocked.  I am wording this conservatively because I know people in government will read it as soon as I post.  
    All the info is available if you will search for it.  site of Rome and the CFR are good starting points!
