“These letters are an appropriate response to a horrific act,” Councilwoman Julie Combs said.

And that is absolutely a fair statement, IF you are an individual. The City Council is not an individual, and has no right to place support for something like this as it assumes that it is the consensus of their constituency. The citizens of Santa Rosa weren’t asked OR informed of this until after the fact. This is clearly grandstanding, and an abuse of office by the Council! Stick to city business, and city issues, stay away from state or federal policy, and at least make some attempt to do the job you were elected to do, that’s all I ask!

What will happen to the nearly 1 Million people who use guns to protect themselves each year when the government decides that they do not have a right to defend themselves? http://www.justfacts.com/guncontrol.asp

Feinstein’s bill and the UN treaty are 2 attacks on our constitution and our rights. Wake up! Don’t trade Freedom for Security else you will end up with neither!

Calling these guns “Military Grade” is laughable. Most of the guns on Feinsteins list are available in the same caliber and the same magazine sizes as hunting rifles. (Mockingbird please take note.) Anyone who refers to these as military grade or assault weapons are speaking from emotions and not facts. Lets deal with facts. http://www.justfacts.com/guncontrol.asp

Our government has put guns in the hands of the Cartel and then tells us we can’t have them? Our borders with Mexico are a war zone, who from the City council is going to go down there and tell them they can’t have certain guns, only have a certain number of bullets to protect themselves with? City Council please get back to the work we need you to do and represent your constituents.

BTW; As sad and horrific as it was,
the Sandy Hook incident was not as it was portrayed in main stream media.

But then, very little is.

is a common fantasy that gun bans make society safer. In 2002 — five years after enacting its gun ban — the Australian Bureau of Criminology acknowledged there is no correlation between gun control and the use of firearms in violent crime. In fact, the percent of murders committed with a firearm was the highest it had ever been in 2006 (16.3 percent), says the D.C. Examiner.

Even Australia’s Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research acknowledges that the gun ban had no significant impact on the amount of gun-involved crime:

In 2006, assault rose 49.2 percent and robbery 6.2 percent.
Sexual assault — Australia’s equivalent term for rape — increased 29.9 percent.
Overall, Australia’s violent crime rate rose 42.2 percent.
Moreover, Australia and the United States — where no gun-ban exists — both experienced similar decreases in murder rates:

Between 1995 and 2007, Australia saw a 31.9 percent decrease; without a gun ban, America’s rate dropped 31.7 percent.
During the same time period, all other violent crime indices increased in Australia: assault rose 49.2 percent and robbery 6.2 percent.
Sexual assault — Australia’s equivalent term for rape — increased 29.9 percent.
Overall, Australia’s violent crime rate rose 42.2 percent.
At the same time, U.S. violent crime decreased 31.8 percent: rape dropped 19.2 percent; robbery decreased 33.2 percent; aggravated assault dropped 32.2 percent.
Australian women are now raped over three times as often as American women.
While this doesn’t prove that more guns would impact crime rates, it does prove that gun control is a flawed policy

“I totally support the right of any citizen in the “militia” (could be the National Guard now) to have as many single-shot muskets and pistols as they deem necessary. Just as in 1781.”

Ha ha, good point, bear! And I support the right to freedom of religion as long as it’s one of the religions that was around when the constitution was written!

And punishment is only cruel and unusual if they thought it was cruel and unusual back in 1700s! We’re gonna start hanging some folks!

Mistrust of the government is also high, with nearly three-quarters of Americans saying they can trust the government to do the right thing only sometimes or never.

Oh, and the unnoticed law passed late last year allowing thousands of drones to patrol US skies…hmmmm. i wonder why the government thinks we are a potential enemy.

For once, take off your tin hat. No one is out to get you. You’ll die at a young age from all that cortisol released in your bloodstream from all you self induced stress.

Relax and enjoy life.

Get a clue. When I look at my 5 year old grandson I think that Newton could have been Santa Rosa, his little body exploded with bullet after bullet.

Every time, every last time that gun restrictions are imposed the crime goes up in direct proportion.

Every time nations ban guns, tyranny follows; or worse.

The examles in the U.S., other parts of the world, current, past history all bear the same results.

Kinda makes you wonder about our government’s resolve to disarm the citizens.

Represent us, uphold their oath. Simple job description.

Our founding fathers knew history repeated itself. They had a framework in place to prevent tyranny. But it requires our participation.

“Government is not reason, it is not eloquence — it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”
-George Washington
