Here's what pollster Frank Luntz suggests as a compromise on the issue of gun control.

Yep.



This time will be different.



Not like the last time. And the time before that. And the time before that...



America lacks the fortitude, courage and honesty to abandon their firearms. As morons like Freud exemplify, they feel frightened and defenseless without a gun.



Only more guns can solve the problem of gun violence.

The guy is talking about a compromise.

I may stand corrected, but I get the impression the NRA, gun freaks and major arms manufacturers are not inclined to compromise.



"Out of my cold, dead hands" I think is their catch cry.



I think it should be changed to "On the pile of our children's corpses".

Blahhhhhh...

Some of these have been tried before. Though I can't remember if they made it to the floor in the House for a vote.

That quote was taken from a speech he gave at the NRA, not in his capacity as an actor.

I don't think he meant it literally.....he was acting.

I've seen that before.....it was widely circulated across North America.

Bricktop

Then you will know that he is not speaking as an actor, but voicing his own beliefs and support for gun ownership in the USA.



What kind of mentality does that reflect??



Referencing advocates to major modifications to gun management in the US, he declares that gun control is a means of taking away freedoms.



This is the perverted and irrational logic that permeates the gun freak fraternity.

I know he is exaggerating in a convincing way which is what a good actor does. That's why the NRA hired him. Ted Nugent aint much of an actor. Some say he aint much of a guitar player either.

I tried listening to one of his tunes once.



I lasted about a minute.



I tried listening to one of his speeches once.



I lasted about 30 seconds.



These idiots talk about being deprived of freedoms as if it is a breach of their human rights. Living in a modern world means subordinating your freedoms as a matter of necessity. You are not free to earn every cent you make. You are not free to walk naked through a shopping mall. You are not free to drive 200 km/h in a 60 km/h speed zone. Living in an ordered society MEANS reducing your freedom to behave any way you wish for the greater good of all. Whilst some laws and regulations can be argued to be counter to the greater good, surely taking lethal weapons out of the hands of citizens who show a constant and frequently fatal lack of good judgment is no longer debatable.



It is essential.

I think a lot of average people in a lot countries have had enough of surrendering more freedoms to the state.
