New Gun Laws???

[OzarkWoman]

SEALE, Ala. (AP) - An Alabama sheriff says a teen who described himself as a white supremacist made journal entries about a plot to bomb classmates three days after the Newtown school massacre.

Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor tells The Associated Press that he believes the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary was a factor because the first date in the boy's journal describing the plan was Dec. 17: three days after the Connecticut killings.

Authorities say 17-year-old Derek Shrout faces an attempted assault charge after authorities say he planned to use homemade explosives to attack fellow students at Russell County High School.

Taylor said the boy told investigators that he's a white supremacist and five of the six students he named in his journal are black.

He didn't succeed (and he isn't Muslim) so less news. But this goes to a point I made in another post. We can ban guns, but anyone can find out how to make a bomb on the internet. Gun control without looking at the underlying cause is like treating cancer with aspirin. It might dull the pain a bit, but it is far from a long term solution and not even a good short term solution.

The percentage of homicide victims killed with a gun increases with age up to age 17 and declines thereafter.

So, according to the department of justice, 17 year olds have a greater chance of killiing than...say a 25 year old...Maybe we should restrict thier use of a weapon.... :-)

And so, it begins!!!! I knew this was coming and what Obama and the libs have wanted all along anyway. Better buy what you want and hide them because our government is now wanting to disarm the people.

Iowa lawmaker calls for retroactive gun ban, confiscation of semi-automatic weapons

In an interview with the Daily Times Herald in Caroll, Iowa, state Rep. Dan Muhlbauer said governments should start confiscating semi-automatic rifles and other firearms.

Muhlbauer, a Democrat from the western Iowa town of Manilla, is a cattleman and farmer. The newspaper reported that he owns a .410 shotgun, a .22 rifle and a .22 pistol.

“We cannot have big guns out here as far as the big guns that are out here, the semi-automatics and all of them,” Muhlbauer told the newspaper during a December 19 audiotaped interview. “We can’t have those running around out here. Those are not hunting weapons.”

“We should ban those in Iowa,” he said, adding that such a ban should be applied retroactively.

“We need to get them off the streets — illegally — and even if you have them, I think we need to start taking them,” Muhlbauer told the Daily Times Herald. “We can’t have those out there. Because if they’re out there they’re just going to get circulated around to the wrong people. Those guns should not be in the public’s hands. There are just too many guns.”

The newspaper published excerpts from the interview Wednesday morning along with an audio recording of the full 15-minute interview.

“We have to change, and we have to get stricter and tougher with what we do,” Muhlbauer said

This is what the White House is aiming for- [pun intended]

*** Two options on gun measures: The White House has a self-imposed deadline of the end of this month to come up with some tangible items. They can go one of two ways: (1) Incremental (magazines and mental-health screenings): This will show the White House trying to create proposals that can pass, but there will be a lot of disappointed people, or (2) Bolder (really pushing for reinstating the assault-weapons ban, mandatory background checks of all purchases, including private sales, a national gun ownership database): But the risk of the bold approach is that it can’t pass Congress. It’s a bit of a political box for the White House; they’d like to do something, and there is a chance to “do something,” but what is possible and what some gun-control advocates really want are not in the same ballpark.

So, Government is NOT out to take your guns, just some are calling for them...You, being the alarmist, are reacting to some hot airbag politician....I bet you feel...well, silly....;-)

UNPRECEDENTED: WHITE HOUSE MULLS GUN CONTROL BY EXECUTIVE ORDER

Vice President Joe Biden, who has been charged by President Obama with running the task force to prevent situations like the Sandy Hook massacre, announced that he wouldn’t be raising legislative solutions at all. Instead, he said that President Obama might simply declare his preferred gun policy the law of the nation. by Ben Shapiro 89
