No, perhaps you can enlighten us. It sounds like instead of me worrying about being "committed", you should worry about being "educated" in the English language.

I'm still waiting for someone to prove that ANYONE has any legislation planned to "confiscate" any weapons....

What good would a ban on "assault rifles" do if these weapons are NOT confiscated? There's millions of them in the hands of citizens already. Sure, they say these weapons will be grandfathered in, but just watch what happens after a couple more inevitable shootings. If you own one of these weapons and it's registered in your name, don't be shocked when you get that knock on your door one day. Also watch a new black market grow for all semi-auto weapons of all kinds... we've already seen the senario play out before.

Mr. Cuomo also said he would also review ways to take already-existing assault weapons out of circulation by requiring new permits, or potentially requiring assault weapon owners to sell guns back to the state.

Forced to sell personal property to the state? No that’s not confiscation. That sounds like something only a repressive regime would have the power to do, not something you would see in a country protected by our constitution.

"If it saves only one child's life" screw the constitution.

Yeah, a mayor "reviewing ways" sure sounds like planned legislation to me....

Let me know when you have something other than out-of-context quotes from the email-o-sphere....

I'm frankly tired of hearing from the same nuts over and over that "they're coming to take our guns"... The courts have already ruled that you have a right to have guns.

Anything that gets assault-weapons, and high-cap magazines out of the population is fine by me.

What's that? Getting rid of assault weapons won't guarantee the problem will get solved? Please file your response here: "_"

:can't hear

The only way to prevent CT with laws would have been to confiscate all weapons from the mothers of mentally disturbed teens. Sounds pretty oppressive to me. And what would have been more likely to stop Lanza an armed guard or a new Clinton Assault Weapons Ban? Columbine happened under Bill's old one. Dems think of hired guards as a stimulus plan. Aren't our children worth 50K per school?

What difference does it make if I have one magazine that holds 30 rounds or 3 magazines that hold 10 rounds? I still have 30 rounds and can change magazines in a second or less.

Dang... I wonder if God wasn't in the church, where was he? Surely that absence was a factor in the killing?

How would an armed guard prevented the slaughter of the 20 five and six year old kids in Newton? The shooter broke into through a window, entered the classroom, fired over 100 rounds within 10 (TEN) minutes before taking his own life. At a manufacturer's recommended sustained fire rate of 15 rounds per minute and with 30 round clips, that would have been 30 rounds in less than two minutes. So those tiny victims would have been slaughtered most likely within the first minute or so. What would have been the response time of an "armed guard" posted at the entrance of the school (incident occurred just after lock down), to recognize the situation, determine the location, run to the location, evaluate the situation, enter the classroom without getting gunned down and take out the shooter? At best, let's say 3 minutes, more likely 5 - 10 minutes. How many lives saved? None.

Here is what Gov. Christie had to say about the NRA proposal (and I have to agree):
In contrast to National Rifle Association executive vice president Wayne LaPierre, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Friday said he doesn't think putting armed guards in every school is a sound response to last week's massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn.

“In general I don’t think that the solution to safety in schools is putting an armed guard because for it to be really effective in my view, from a law enforcement perspective, you have to have an armed guard at every classroom,” Christie said while appearing at an event in Newark, N.J. “Because if you just have an armed guard at the front door then what if this guy had gone around to the side door? There’s many doors in and out of schools.”

I did, and you are in fact the one that needs educated. Btw, do you stay logged on here all day? Do you have a life whatsoever? I think maybe law enforcement should track YOU and evaluate YOUR mental state...fer real. Between you and whatthedogpukedup, it's a regular cuckoos nest around here.

Gee, I go away for three days, and you don't even notice.. Methinks you obsess about me too much. Whassamatter? Still bug you that I make more than you do, and don't have to work nearly as hard to make it? As sick-f**ks go, you're right up there at the top of the list, aren't you?

You proved nothing... But thanks for playing.
