Ugh it's crazy, I'm getting really put off politics after seeing the American politicians and New Zealand politicians behaviour. It's disgraceful.

HAHA...yeah, that really does sum it up.

Whatever gun advocates complain about, this is really only the beginning of some major reforms. Which is a good thing.

You want to know what we are up against? Did anyone see this video?

Alex Jones - as is mentioned in the video - has a big platform. I don't think there will be many issues getting these laws passed if gun supporters keep acting this way. They will shout about a number of things...impeachment, secession, suicide pills, civil war, and boxing you to prove who is right. So yeah.

Edit: And if you don't want to watch that whole video, I highly recommend skipping to the end to see him start mocking Piers's accent. Piers ends the whole thing with a perfect "Whatever...".

I love how Alex Jones acts like such a psycho in that interview that he manages to look like the poster boy for the exact kind of people who shouldn't be allowed to own guns.

Does anyone --- particularly those who fall on the, shall we say, pro-guns side --- agree, or think this is a step too far?

I think there are a number of reasons why impeachment should be brought against Obama. Openly trying to weaken the Second Amendment is just one of them. I would support his impeachment for this and other reasons if members of Congress were to bring it up.

On the other hand, almost every president in recent memory going back to Lyndon Johnson has done things worthy of impeachment. Usually in terms of egregiously overstepping their authority to wage war without formal Congressional approval.

In that time span I mentioned, maybe only Jimmy Carter could be considered above reproach in this regard.
