Verona, PA - Former Republican presidential candidate and Patriot Voices Chairman Rick Santorum issued the following statement in response to President Obama's gun control recommendations:
"President Obama's gun control recommendations fall far short in addressing the real issue here - putting an end to gun violence. While the president did propose some reasonable measures, I'm disappointed, yet not surprised, to see so much emphasis on gun control and not enough on key contributors to mass shootings - mental illness and the impact of the entertainment industry's glorification of violence. As a strong supporter of the second amendment, I take issue with the Obama administration's effort to take more control of our lives on the gun issue, when we already have reasonable accommodations in place. We have seen time and time again, when law-abiding citizens have used their legal firearms as a means of self protection; our government cannot stand in the way of that. I come from a state with a rich heritage of hunting and fishing, and will fight to protect our right to bear arms for the sake of the freedoms we cherish as a nation.
"Karen and I want to offer our continued prayers to the victims and families of the Sandy Hook tragedy. During a crisis such as this, we are reminded of our most important role as a society - the safety and security of our children."

You not only do not understand the Constitution (see wnd article), you do not understand what it means to be a christian.





We’re on the same side here, all I’m saying here is that we just need to mind the words we use when speaking to the media about the 2nd amendment as they will be used against us to push public perception and acceptance of stricter gun laws.



“Amendment II
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html
If the government takes away our ability to bear arms then what will stop them from taking away more of our established privileges?
