    Unless you're criminal, of course. Because criminals definitely don't care about a silly FOID card.

      I would be fine with law restricting texting while shooting a gun.

        THis is some kind of sick joke, right?

        No, they are not. When someone drinks and gets behind a wheel they should be aware they are impaired. That makes it an action with the knowledge that it could cause harm.

        Love the NRA comment about PC. The politicians are all toeing the line and saying all sorts of 'PC' stuff that meets the NRA's sniff test to keep the NRA happy. That is the PC stuff. THe 'logic' they apply to the world would make any sentient human being think twice. Call it what it is. They want what they want. They don't want to be accountable and they don't care what the consequence is as long as they get what they want.

        *I am not a gun owner but not against ownership. I am against letting anyone get one simply because they want it.

            We prosecute for texting and driving. We don't ban cellphones. Pretty sure we have laws against shooting people, just like laws against texting and driving.
            That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

              No, they don't. But now the box of ammo that has an MSRP of $49.99 now costs Johnny Street Crime $60 or more cause he has to go to one of his buddies to get it for him. It's not much, but it is a slight deterrent. But then again the gun was also obtained through an illegal straw purchase, so it's nothing new.

              I'd really like to see numbers in regards to crime committed with legally obtained firearms vs illegal ones. I'd wager that probably over 50% is legal, but it's not in the 90+% range. Anyone ever come across a legit stat like that?

                And again...who outside of one poster in here is calling for the banning of guns? Seriously that straw man needs to die. Regulating gun use/ownership /= banning guns and you know it.

                  We already make it illegal to "use" a gun to shoot someone. Tell me exactly how we regulate "ownership" or purchase of cellphones to solve the texting and driving problem.

                    Bill O' Reilly actually said reasonable things about guns last night on Colbert.

                    It was almost creepy.

                          A cellphone in and of itself isnt dangerous. They have a benign usage. What exactly is the benign usage of a gun?

                              Well, I was wrong. The gun this guy used wasn't an AR-15. It was a Sig Sauer MCX. Which after the advertisement I saw for one is built exclusively for killing humans. There can be no other possible use for the thing. It also explains how he smuggled a rifle into the club cause this sucker folds up.

                              Wow.
