why cant politicians abide by the law like the rest of us? just as in frisco, they do what they want not what the people want! isnt it a federal crime to to infringe on our rights? in cali the politicians are doing everything to get rid of the marines, in dc politicians are doing everything to get rid of our 2nd amendment rights to own a pistol or any gun for that fact! we as voters and people of the best country in the world should get together and petition/vote these do as i say not as i do politicians out of office and into jail for steeling our rights, our guns and our protection! hold em accountable for anyone who cant get/afford to [due to high fees for our rights] have personal protection, and they get hurt or killed because of rules they make!another database is a waste of money and time.
criminals kill people not guns, and the criminal doesnt go to cabellas and buy a gun legally!
give the criminals who use guns for any crime 10+ years in prison, dont bother the people who are law abiding who own /want guns
hold the politicians accountable for taking and infringing on our constitutional rights!
