Foreign Policy by the NRA? The Prospect of Gingrich and Bolton.

31. I don't think it's going to be Romney.

1. I think it's going to be Newt and we all know how dirty he can get. I wish it was Romney and you're right he's a cakewalk. Newt is not a cakewalk - he's dangerous.

2. "I do not oppose tweaking existing gun laws to make them more effective and strict enforcement of these laws." - They will attack this moderated reasonable position as "taking away guns" - this was the Democratic position in 2008 and it got use the full on crazy Tea Party. They have on plan: attack, attack, attack. So let's attack them as soft on crime, as enabling extremists, and as irresponsible for creating an environment of fear. Let's be clear about where we stand.

3. I don't want a hard limit. I want proper licensing of legitimate collectors and restrictions on those who are not. Can you please explain to me why it is imperative for someone to have 200 hundred guns, the vast majority of which are not collectors items, and why this should go largely untaxed and largely unregulated? I'm sorry, but if they've got the money to blow on guns, they've got the money to fund increased enforcement of existing regulations at the very least. I'd also like to see a hard and fast law on carrying weapons in government buildings and at political events.

4. Conspiracy theories not withstanding, the threat of gun maniacs or White Supremacists targeting the President is very real and serious. A particular poster here earlier today suggested that one should be allowed to carry a firearm in the presence of the President of the United States, this is an outrage. We need all the prayer we can get in this country, and not with a gun in hand.
