1) Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.
Maybe, but people with guns kill many, many more people than they would if they didn’t have guns, and guns designed to kill as many people as possible. We don’t know if the murderer in Newtown was suffering from a suicidal depression, but many mass shooters in the past were. And guess what? People suffer from suicidal depression everywhere in the world. People get angry and upset everywhere in the world. But there aren’t mass shootings every few weeks in England or Costa Rica or Japan, and the reason is that people in those places who have these impulses don’t have an easy way to access lethal weapons and unlimited ammunition. But if you want to kill large numbers of people and you happen to be an American, you’ll find it easy to do.

2) The Constitution says I have a right to own guns.
Yes it does, but for some reason gun advocates think that the right to bear arms is the only constitutional right that is virtually without limit. You have the right to practice your religion, but not if your religion involves human sacrifice. You have the right to free speech, but you can still be prosecuted for incitement or conspiracy, and you can be sued for libel. Every right is subject to limitation when it begins to threaten others, and the Supreme Court has affirmed that even though there is an individual right to gun ownership, the government can put reasonable restrictions on that right.

And we all know that if this shooter turns out to have a Muslim name, plenty of Americans, including plenty of gun owners, will be more than happy to give up all kinds of rights in the name of fighting terrorism. Have the government read my email? Have my cell phone company turn over my call records? Check which books I’m taking out of the library? Make me take my shoes off before getting on a plane, just because some idiot tried to blow up his sneakers? Sure, do what you’ve got to do. But don’t make it harder to buy thousands of rounds of ammunition, because if we couldn’t do that we’d no longer be free.

Del Mar Fairgrounds should not be supporting this tragic loophole.

After a few incidences of gun violence that are public you blame everyone and even law abiding citizen get punished but the criminal w/ his $5000 gold plated AK 47 human killing machine in LA he’s left out there killing on the streets and progrressive liberal Lawmakers never go after him. So you are no safer with the stupid laws.

But, once Progressive Liberals get on a crusade it progressively gets worse and worse until they micromanage every aspect of the issue, they don’t know when to quit, but they sure know how to capture the tax dollars.

Thousands want the gun show and 1000s will fight to maintain the Amendment—Your buddy Obama only won by half of the USA—The other half sees his lies and refuses to believe him any longer–you want the tax dollars but you don’t want to share them with the values and interests of all—just your small isolated little group gets the say so.

If the safety of the Children is really your issue then seek out ways to protect children in school and out. but, my guess is this is an easy target and you don’t really want to protect the children you just want to limit the rights of others—-Couched in a statement about child safety-

2nd amendment advocates we need to start our own petition to keep the gun show at Del Mar. Anyone know of one?

Better yet we should file a class action suit against Holliday if our rights are infringed on!
