The NRA, which fights against all this, is out of touch — even with its own membership. Its power to dictate this debate has to be challenged. |
The data on assault weapons is just as telling. The man identified Friday as the gunman, Adam Lanza was armed with semiautomatic pistols and a semiautomatic rifle and the killers in Aurora and Portland both used an AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifle. Sixty-three percent of Americans said they favor a nationwide ban on ... |
We found, in a 2011 survey we conducted for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, that 57 percent of Americans support a law that would limit the size of ammunition clips so that the gun could not fire more than 10 bullets without having to be reloaded. Only a third, or 34 percent, of Americans opposed that law. |
The Brady Bill, which expired under President George W. Bush, and that Obama said he supported, regulated these kinds of assault weapons (AR-15). Those guns are now unregulated and the result is tragedy after tragedy that won’t end until elected leaders step up. |
Support for sounder, safer gun laws is not restricted to blue states or big urban cities. In a study conducted by Lake Research Partners earlier this year in swing state-senate districts in Virginia, we found that two-thirds of voters (65 percent) in a rural western Virginia district believe the gun laws should be made... |
Ninety-two percent of voters in a state senate district centered in Roanoke, Virginia, strongly endorsed requiring background checks for people purchasing guns and permits for people who want to carry a concealed loaded weapon. |
The NRA and those who oppose gun safety measures should welcome a gun-control debate — especially if they think they have the winning hand. |
The consistent lack of leadership on this issue is stunning. But what is most unnerving is that it does not have to be this way – the American people support common sense gun laws. |
Others have said, even on Friday, that now is not the time to discuss more gun laws. They said this same thing after Aurora, after Portland, and now after Newtown. They are trying to silence the millions of Americans who want stronger protections from gun violence in their communities. |
These silencers, led by the NRA, continue to use the 2011 Gallup poll, which we have already explained is problematic, to shut down the debate about new gun laws that will make us safer. That poll said that 43 percent of Americans support stricter gun laws, a 6 percentage point drop from 2008. |
But as the numbers we have cited here show, this single Gallup question is too shallow to really tell the story of what Americans think about gun safety measures. |
Now is the time to have a discussion about gun laws that will make our communities and families safer. The American people are ready. |
Obama showed great courage earlier this year when he stood up for the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry. His courage and leadership is needed here too. These tragedies will happen again and again until our leaders stand up and pass meaningful gun-safety laws that the American public supports. |
No, the public doesn’t agree. |
The majority of Americans support the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. This is a fact. |
The public does not agree. The only reason there were so many deaths is because the federal ban on firearms within 100feet of a school does not permit a responsible citizen from carrying a firearm. Otherwise someone would have dropped this Perp in his tracks. The police and your gov’t can’t be everywhere and make you s... |
The Republicans need any and all fringe groups to make up for the fact that they represent a small percentage of the electorate. |
Their greatest fear is that people will figure them out. |
Which public is this that you speak of? The 26% as usual? Stop using tragedy to push your BS agendas. |
Almost every Swiss man has an assault rifle and its ammunition, at home, as part of his obligation to do military service. Yet killings using these rifles are extremely rare. Why? |
The two writers of this “opinion piece” (you noted, I didn’t call it news, nor refer to the authors as journalists), have managed to present about as much political drivel and spin as I’ve ever seen, in one single story. The vast majority of the article is composed of opinion, half truths, and highly targeted, and vagu... |
A species that eats its young or fails to protect them becomes extinct. Think about it. |
@saildog07. You are clearly remarkably ignorant of what the US is, what we face as a people and what “inalienable rights” means. |
I think we should ban meth and heroin, that would keep it off the streets and, keep people from doing it. |
The Colordao theater killer chose the only movie theater within 20 miles that had a ban on concealed weapons. You want the only people in the world to have guns to be governments and criminals? a naive concept. |
This guy was insane – lets address the problems with mental illness and get some security at schools for God’s sake. |
For the first time in my life, I am thinking about buying a gun. |
The only places where these mass shootings have happened are where guns are not allowed. (Schools, churches, government buildings) These people maybe mentally ill but they still know enough to do this in places where someone can’t shoot back at them. Anyplace that does not allow legal gun owners to carry a firearm shou... |
This is not what the public wants. This is what the liberals want for the public. |
I believe in gun control. I control mine very well. How about controlling the pez dispensing of mind altering, psychosis enducing drugs you’re giving people. Even dispensing these harmful drugs to young adults! |
In the Supreme Court case, Castle Rock v. Gonzales, 545 U.S. 748 (2005), the court ruled that our local police are not responsible for protecting us. SOOOOOO, who IS responsible for protecting us? We are responsible. That’s why I responsibly conceal carry. I protect my wife and 2 small children. When more responsible p... |
Lets look one poll that this particular article is using for it’s numbers. |
The poll used 2 Senate Districts in the State of VA. District 21 and District 38. |
with the total numbers of respondents being 305 voters in District 21 and 302 voters in district 38. |
That’s a fairly small sample size considering Roanoke VA (part of district 21) has a population of 92,376 (2010 numbers) but polls being what they are they can’t call every registered voter. |
So they are making a statement for the entire state of Virginia with a population of 8 million give or take from the words of 607 people. Now not all of the 8 million are old enough to vote or even care enough to vote. But the statement that such a small group of people are the norm for a much larger population is susp... |
Lets now look at the generator of the poll and the authors of this piece. Lake Research here is a snippet from their web site. |
Nothing unusual there, next check their “outstanding clients” I did not check all of them but the ones I did check are Democrats with a history of voting for more firearms laws or outright bans. |
So going down to the list of causes that they have worked for I see several that catch my eye, The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, MoveOn.org, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. So I think it is safe to say that this is a group that is defiantly not non-bias. Nothing wrong with that, but I would not trust this gro... |
So as to the title of this opinion piece states “Public agrees” there is not enough data in their source material to even make that assumption let alone any reason to believe that the authors are trying to give anything but their own viewpoints legitimacy. |
I think the founding fathers would have had a different opinion if they realized that modern “constitutionalists” were defending the right of 14 year old drug dealers to carry semiautomatic weapons or mentally deranged people to spray bullets into elementary school classrooms. The one part that is frequently lacking in... |
A gun is an inanimate tool not deviant behavior and crime is deviant behavior not an inanimate tool. |
You can’t prevent deviant behavior by regulating tools because tools are incapable of behavior and the number of tools available to the world’s deviants is endless. |
Even if you could legislate guns out of existence, deviants could, would and have used other things that gave them a power advantage over their victims—knives, clubs, rocks or even sharp sticks—all of which are very legal and very accessible. |

PHMSA’s responsibility in pipeline construction is assuring that the pipeline will operate safely once it is placed in service. PHMSA has established regulations governing aspects of pipeline design and construction and conducts inspections of pipelines under construction in order to fulfill this responsibility. |
Requirements related to pipeline design and construction are in Chapter 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). 49 CFR Part 192 establishes requirements for gas pipelines and 49 CFR Part 195 does so for hazardous liquid pipelines. Design requirements address such issues as the required strength of pipe for certain... |
PHMSA inspects pipeline construction to assure compliance with these requirements. Inspectors review operator-prepared construction procedures to verify that they conform to regulatory requirements. Inspectors then observe construction activities in the field to assure that they are conducted in accordance with the pro... |
There has been a significant jump in the amount of pipeline under construction in the past few years. PHMSA has responded to this increase by devoting more of its inspector’s time to performing construction inspections. The graph shows the number of inspector-days per year devoted to inspecting pipeline construction. |
Hand carved Welsh Lovespoon by Richard Downes. A very popular design, featuring a dragon which symbolises protection and 2 hearts which represent love. |
The ancient custom of giving a lovespoon in Wales dates back to the 17th century. These ornately carved spoons were traditionally made by men for their loved ones. They were often given as a pre-courting present and may even have been offered as a gift to signify their engagement. |
The symbols carved on to the spoon all have a particular meaning. |
This one has a dragon, which is the symbol of Wales as well as signifying strength and protection. It also has the two hearts which represent love twisting down to become one in the bowl of the spoon. |
Lovespoons are popular all over the world and are still given as a lasting token of affection and make a unique wedding, birthday or anniversary present as well as being a great souvenir of Wales. |
Please note: This is a natural product, so there will be variations in the colour of the wood. |

The archaeological complex of Ollantaytambo was a strategic military, religious and agricultural center. The architectural scenario is of exceptional interest for the size, style and originality of its buildings. For the quechua language, the name comes from the word Ollanta (which is the name of an Inca captain, whose... |
Agricultural activity in this area benefited by the presence of the stream of Patacancha, place where was large terraces cultivation. |
The most typical town of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, is a purely Inca city that the ambitious conquerors wanted to "civilize" to implement their culture, but never succeeded, since they resisted completely. Today this resistance can be seen in its people since they live in the almost untouched Inca constructions, i... |

22:30 p.m. arrival to Cusco. |
More late start of our tour Cusco at Night. |
A modern and hectic nightlife only arrived in Cusco with tourists. For them, by the mid-1970s, the local first opened: the Abraxas and the Hatuchay, both in the Plaza de Armas. |
Shortly after, the own cusqueños imagination fueled by the stories that ran from mouth in mouth, were encouraging to face the night cold that kept them cloistered in their homes and were discovering that, at night, people have easier to approach each other overcoming social, cultural and even language barriers. |
We can therefore say that, its many attractions, Cusco has joined an intense, feverish and cosmopolitan nightlife with an original touch of Andean. Enjoy its charms is one more way of knowing the Imperial City and empathize with his spirit. The lines following are a key to open the doors to this world. |
A good way to begin a night in Cusco is appreciating the singular richness and variety of the folklore of this region, both in its musical expressions in their dances. The traveller will have to choose between the sets of some institutions that folk art, and a select number of restaurants that offer this type of shows. |
