A teenage girl skyrocketed to the center of the gun control debate when a YouTube video of her three-minute pro-gun speech went viral, acquiring more than 2.3 million views.
Sarah Merkle, 15 of Maryland, has been shooting guns for almost eight years and is a member of the Maryland Rifle Club and Maryland State Rifle Club. She says in the video that signing anti-gun legislation would not be doing away with gun violence but rather "liberating American citizens of our constitutional rights."

Does anybody even know what would happen if someone with intelligence enters the capitol building? Would it be like a matter-antimatter reaction?

The beauty of this anti-gun rhetoric and anti-gun legislation is , gun/ammunition sales have sky rocketed . In my area gun shops shelves are darn near empty and ammunition is hard find . Obama and his ilk have done more for gun sales with their anti-gun legislation they are trying to pass than if they would have just left things alone .
The war on guns will work about as much as the war on drugs .... it wont .edit on 9-4-2013 by whenandwhere because: (no reason given)

Skater didn't mention any party, so what you have done there would be called.
Jumping to a conclusion,=.

I may be some sort of weirdo...I'm liberal guy who fully supports the right to own firearms. The only line I draw is that those who own guns should demonstrate a certain level of responsibility...by and large most gun owners do, yet there are a few knuckle-dragging mouth breathers that have no business being near a gun, let alone should be able to own one. Some folks just become to lax about the responsibilites of gun ownership... case in point. A momentary lapse in judgement results in the death of an innocent person, or a legitimate wacko shoots up a cinema, and the whole gun-owning community (of which I am a part) pays the price.
Politicians prove nicely the idea that people who lean too far left or right wind up falling off the map of common sense.
