One of the reasons none of them got my vote, this was an issue I brought up a lot in the primaries

they're all a bunch of raving crazy humans who shouldn't be in charge.....the only reason they keep in the lime light is because they all go to the same freakin' dentist....

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

one person who happens to be an elitist who speaks.....she has no credibility just because she is who she is.... she's no jesus, just as Ron Paul is no jesus......
sh!t happens, humans cause it but the power that becomes an absolute power is just plain old abuse and removes a human's ability to choose.
she can talk about 'regulation' but it makes no sense...what if she had knife scars on her face and facial reconstruction(because she can afford that being on 'the take')....what would her platform be then?

All across the country police departments have sponsored gun buyback programs for the purpose of "getting guns off the streets." But one buyback event in Boulder, CO had to be canceled because the state's new gun laws are so strict that the police can't even navigate the law to sponsor the program.
The event was canceled by Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle, who sadly had to inform the community that Colorado's new gun laws made it "nearly impossible" to follow the law.
One of the strict new laws that Colorado recently enacted requires a background check for every transfer of a gun. This would include transfers made from private owners to the sheriffs department, even if the guns are going to be destroyed. Sheriff Pelle informed the community that the system simply isn't set up to be able to conduct so many checks, nor can it work in a remote location outside his offices.
When announcing the cancellation, Sheila Dierks, a disappointed event organizer, said, "Sheriff Pelle has stood strong for this event, has done tremendous work to make it happen and he is as disappointed as we are."
Citizens that handed in guns were to have received gift cards or tickets to local sporting events. Local students had worked to raise nearly $8,000 to fund the program.
A local artist was to have been awarded the melted down gun parts so she could make a sculpture to help "raise awareness" for gun violence.
The new gun laws have been so unpopular that two Colorado State Senators have been successfully recalled and a special election has been set to replace them. The two Democrat Senators, Senate President John Morse and Senator Angela Giron of Pueblo, both face recall elections now scheduled for September 10.
Additionally, a coalition of some 30 Colorado Sheriffs have banded together to sue the state to have the strict new gun laws nullified or materially altered.
I wonder if this would also apply for NY considering we are also using the same setup, gun dealers do not have to do the transfer if they don't want to. Another fail by the government

‘Guns are a plague on too many of our communities’

Private gun sales in Illinois must now be approved by state police under a law signed by Gov. Pat Quinn on Sunday. “This law really aims at holding those straw buyers accountable for buying a gun then turning around and giving it to a gang member on the street,” Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez said at at the public signing ceremony for the new law, held at a Chicago park where a local police officer, Thomas Wortham IV, was killed in May 2010 by a weapon acquired in such a sale.
Another provision in the law requiring gun owners to report lost or stolen firearms to authorities within 72 hours takes effect immediately, making Illinois the eighth state to adopt such a provision.
“Guns are a plague on too many of our communities,” WMAQ-TV quoted Quinn as saying on Sunday. “As I said in my State of the State address earlier this year, making sure guns do not fall into the wrong hands is critical to keeping the people of Illinois safe.”
