License and register all handgun sales
Hillary Rodham Clinton offered her support for a legislative proposal to
license hand guns. The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Charles Schumer, would
require anyone who wants to purchase a gun to obtain a state-issued photo
gun license. “I stand in support of this common sense legislation
to license everyone who wishes to purchase a gun,” Clinton said. “I
also believe that every new handgun sale or transfer should be registered
in a national registry, such as Chuck is proposing.”

Tough gun control keeps guns out of wrong hands
I think it does once again urge us to think hard about what we can do to
make sure that we keep guns out of the hands of children and criminals
and mentally unbalanced people. I hope we will come together as a nation
and do whatever it takes to keep guns away from people who have no
business with them.

Gun control protects our children
We will not make progress on a sensible gun control agenda unless the entire
American public gets behind it. It is really important for each of
you [kids] to make sure you stay away from guns. If you have guns in
your home, tell your parents to keep them away from you and your friends
and your little brothers and sisters.

Don’t water down sensible gun control legislation
We have to do everything possible to keep guns out of the hands of children,
and we need to stand firm on behalf of the sensible gun control legislation
that passed the Senate and then was watered down in the House. It does
not make sense for us at this point in our history to turn our backs
on the reality that there are too many guns and too many children have
access to those guns-and we have to act to prevent that.

Lock up guns; store ammo separately
If you own a gun... make sure it’s locked up and stored without the
ammunition. In fact, make it stored where the ammunition is stored separately.
We’ve made some progress in the last several years with the Brady
Bill and some of the bans on assault weapons, but we have a lot of work
to do.

HERE TO LINK TO SOME OF UPCHUCKS MOST FAMOUS ANTI-GUN STATEMENTS
The following is from a May
8, 2002 press release following the Justice Department argument before
the Supreme Court that the Constitution broadly protects the rights of
individuals to own firearms."The broad principle that there is an individual right to bear arms
is shared by many Americans, including myself. I'm of the view that you
can't take a broad approach to other rights, such as First Amendment rights,
and then interpret the Second Amendment so narrowly that it could fit in
a thimble."
It was followed by;
"But I'm also of the view that there are limits on those rights.
Just as you can't falsely shout fire in a crowded movie theater, you can
put restrictions on who can own guns and how, when, and where they may
be possessed."
(I do not understand this argument. Does that mean that you can
not yell "FIRE" even if there is a fire? Does it mean that they put
tape over everyone's mouth before they go into the theater so they can
not say anything sort of like banning speech?)
The following are some other statements from
UpChuck:
"The Second Amendment is not absolute. It does not guarantee the
mythical individual right to bear arms we will hear argued for today.
The gun lobby and its friends in Congress can line up professors of
history and law from here to NRA headquarters and back. They can all
swear what they think the Second Amendment means, and how many angels
can dance on a pinhead. But the settled law is flatly against them." |
