"A Longtime Gun-Rights Advocate"

[T]hey have support from Councilman Robbie Waters, formerly a sheriff and city homicide detective. A longtime gun-rights advocate, Waters says he thinks the measures wouldn't "weaken people's legitimate rights," but they would help police stem gun violence.

So, being required to submit a thumbprint and have my personal information recorded before being allowed to purchase ammunition doesn't infringe on my unalienable right to keep and bear arms, Councilthing? And as far as reporting goes, have you told everyone that criminals--you know, the ones who actually engage in that "gun violence" you say will be stemmed--would be exempt, because that would violate their right against self-incrimination?

How the SacBee figures this statist tool for a "gun-rights advocate" goes beyond Orwellian. The "authorized journalists" wouldn't be lying to us (again), would they?

By the way, Robbie--nice office.

None of the meaures that these freedom snuffing minions have employed has worked. And yet, they still think that usurpation will solve everything. Doing the same thing over and over again. Expecting different results. Is, by shear definition - insanity.
Which would lead a rational being to conclude. That these clowns have no idea what they are talking about. And shouldn't be trusted to even clean a toulet properly.

Twisted constructions issued from tyrannical minds, tend to the destruction of right. Peaceful relief, from this arbitrary illness is found in "frequent recurrence to Fundamental principles". The other recourse, of course is a more Revolutionary one.....
