The 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution permits citizens to privately own firearms. That was written by the founders as a surety to the public citizen that in their hands was a right and a defense against Govt. fascism and tyranny. If they so chose to excercise it.

perhaps switch the second amendment the right to own Guns to the right to own a home. so many homeless people in the USA, you have to find the money to care for all the poor people in USA.

Rachel what happened to your 15-25 minute vids of your show that used to be posted? I miss them!

[roguedogx]

Considering how important data is to solving a problem, if this is pulled off, I'm happy they did it.

Gun Violence Research? All you have to do is watch the news. Duh.

[ruthdepew]

If direct legislation doesn't get us there, perhaps direct appropriations will. Always look for another path to your destination. Yeah America!

What a waste of money. We know !!! We just dont want to pay.

All the violent games and entertainment must surely be considered otherwise it's more of the same nonsense that will never get to the root of the problems.

What research? Sometimes good guys defend themselves with guns. Sometimes bad guys hurt others with guns. What else is there to know?

If you seppos want gun control on assault style weapons, the answer is simple.
Start a political Party called "African Americans with ARs"
You will have legislation within a week.

Fake last minute bait from the KKKlans to get Dems to back off King Dotard the First. BTW in order for this quasi-coup tp stick, Mangolini HAS to disarm the public. Just ask Putin if he thinks everyone in Russia should own a high quality firearm ... wait, don't bother just heard a very loud 'Nyet!'

[DeathsAngel]

Great, more reasons to strip away our second amendment.
