		<description>I'm punching in here as a former Republican - current independent.  If believing in human rights (for all humans, not just the straight white ones) makes one liberal, then I guess that's where I'm at too.  

I second pretty much everything Spencer said.  One of the reasons I left the party was the insistence to link gun rights to the party (among several other issues).  If you are doing legal things, you don't need to purchase several automatic rifles every month.  Look at the Plymouth Whitemarsh High situation.  Some dumbass mom who wanted her kid to be happier bought a large arsenal for him through legal purchases.  Illegal guns are going to be out there, but why make it easier for the mass-buyer to make the initial purchase?  Gun nuts are really doing a disservice to police officers and citizens alike.  I don't care what you may think you need to "feel safe" - look at the statistics.  The more guns out there, the more weapons to be used improperly by their owners or family members.&lt;div class="comment-remix-meta"&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('23073','kristen'); return false;"&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('23073','kristen','I\'m punching in here as a former Republican - current independent.

		<description>Yes - I'm blaming the NRA and other whackjob conservatives like them for putting their head in the sand.  Illegal guns are everywhere and the standard NRA response is that we have enough regulations.  Seems to be your belief also.  Did we have enough regulation before the Virginia Tech massacre?  Obviously the Virginia government didn't think so because they changed the law - and that's my point.  I'm not saying that changing the law is the only thing - if you could fucking read I also said there's are too many people that are willing to use guns against other people violently.  So it's not just the NRA, but they definitely don't help the matter.

And one more thing - I'm tired of whackjob conservatives throwing around the word liberal as if it's a bad thing.  I am a liberal - I proud to be a liberal.  I'm all about finding problems and fixing them.  Conservatives: nothing is broken.  Great attitude - I'd be a slave with that attitude and you wouldn't be able to vote.  (Don't tell me Lincoln was of the Republican party - that party is dead and gone).

If you don't want the liberal response - read someone else's fucking blog - like Ann Coulter's.  She's probably more your speed.&lt;div class="comment-remix-meta"&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('23069','Spencer'); return false;"&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('23069','Spencer','Yes - I\'m blaming the NRA and other whackjob conservatives like them for putting their head in the sand.

		<description>You're blaming the NRA? Typical liberal response.

I'm surprised you didn't blame George Bush too.

Illegal guns are EVERYWHERE and they are obtained easily.

		<description>I hear what you're saying Jess - and a lot of times I think it's just the media sensationalizing things - but the events of this week are disturbing and can't be overly sensationalized.  It's spreading to areas that are not usually violent - the shooting yesterday happened on North Broad street - that's a busy thoroughfare.  Tuesday's took place downtown during the Democratic debate.  It's all so crazy and so sad.&lt;div class="comment-remix-meta"&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('23062','Spencer'); return false;"&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('23062','Spencer','I hear what you\'re saying Jess - and a lot of times I think it\'s just the media sensationalizing things - but the events of this week are disturbing and can\'t be overly sensationalized.
