Bill Clinton: High-Capacity Magazines Are 'Nuts' (VIDEO)


Why high capacity magazines? Target shooters can tell you. Next to hunting, target shooting is a favorite sport of gun owners everywhere. As many have noted it is the failure of states and agencies to conduct and require background checks that allows so many wepaons to get into criminals and whacko's hands. It is also partly the responsiblility of the NRA to guarantee it's plegde of supporting "responsible gun ownership." I proposed in the past that every high school senior, male and female, should take an elective or voluntary course in pistol and rifle shooting, mainly oriented towards responsible ownership, and receive a graduation certificate and a License Application, for which the requirement of training would have already been completed. (NRA has offered to provide qualified instructors, practice equipment and range time, as I understand it).

The failure of most states to enact background checks at every potential stage of gun ownership is inexcuseable, as is the government's. This is NOT to ask for more regulation; we have enough. But this one item, making sure who owns the gun is a responsible person, not a "straw buyer" not a "mentally impaired person," is truly needed. The magazine capacity "problem" isn't, nor is the availability of assault weapons.. Getting iweapons of any type nto the wrong hands IS.

Mitt Romney's Foreign Policy Debate Performance Tailored To Woo Women, Independent Voters


I'm sorry, did I miss something? Are you actually saying that Citizen's have no responsibility to register and Vote? That even limited Voting fraud is OK?

Voter's rights are not "restricted" by having them do what hundreds of millions of other voters do-Register and Identify.

And, your last comment is just wrong. Voter Registration and Identification are not just applied to Democrats, they are applied to ALL-Libertarians, Greens, Communists, all.

You should be ashamed for pointing out that Registration Verification and ID seem to hurt Democrats most, since that just proves my point that voting manipulators are trying to game the system, by constructing scenarios that allow more of the unwilling and unknowledgeable to get their votes lined up for liberal candidates. Those who care enough about their Citizenship responsibilities always seem to get Registerted and to Vote. Using flimsy excuses to attempt to get those who don't care to vote "your way" is just wrong.

Mitt Romney's Foreign Policy Debate Performance Tailored To Woo Women, Independent Voters


You miss the point. Voting is both a right and a responsibility. Voting is one of the privileges of Citizenship-a most highly valued privilege, I'm sure you would agree. Affirming Citizenship in order to exercise a right seems reasonable. The laziness of people in Registeringing and confirming ID is the culprit, not rationalizing the lack of motivation of the many who don't care enough to participate without the pushing from behind of those who want to control their decisions. Making it "easier" is just an excuse for driving down the standards of "personal decisions, personal consequences; individual effort, individual achhievement."

Those who want to make it easier are just in the business of attempting to control masses of people for their own benefit.

I've voted in every election,state federal and local, since 1961. I've Registered, gone to the polls even when it was difficult, and exercised my rights in a responsible way. I want to see everybody else do the same.

Iron Dumping In The Pacific Ocean Stirs Controversy Over Geoengineering


Agree with labeling, as long as there are also choices of alternative foods. I also think it should be mandatory for these genetically modified foods to be consistently folllowed up, transparent in reporting and judged by independent scientists. One could make a case that these foods lead to obesity through genetic modification of the human consumption and metabolic processes. There is no evidence to the contrary, so why not?

Iron Dumping In The Pacific Ocean Stirs Controversy Over Geoengineering


I note a distinct evidence of jealousy in the response by "competitor' researchers. At the same time, I wish that the experiment had been configured to be fully monmitired in all the basic ways; toxicity, pollution, plant and animal life changes (BEFORE AND AFTER ) and other attributes not necessarily central to judging the success of the experiment's goals, but absolutely central for planning future experiments of a similar nature.

Mitt Romney Favorability Lower Than George W. Bush, Poll Finds


Let me be the first to agree that wars should be fought "on the books," not "off book." Having said that, EVERYBODY knew that Americans would not have approved the path we chose to punish al Qaeda, and in particular th Trillions spent (that's Trillions with a big "T" folks. Finding ays to capture, kill or other wise elimite threats doesn't always mean we have to destroy whole countries; we're better and smarter than that.

Look, can we agree that we are spending money we don't have, and passing the debt to our choildren? That deficits generated by either political party and any government rob the private secotor of funds to invest in jobs, and plants and equipment?

Mitt Romney Favorability Lower Than George W. Bush, Poll Finds


You too, with the Kool-Aid guzzling? Please just look at the results of our two party system; look at the inability of either to govern successfully, in the truly American tradition.

"Personal decisions, personal consequences; individual opportunity, individual achienvement."

Let's get back to that, PLEASE!
