It is now your civil right to be allowed to borrow your uncle's shot gun for a month and return it without paying a fee and having a background check for each of the two transfers.  The Schumer bill takes that away.

No, it's not.  "Civil rights" are those rights are those rights protected by legislation and (more commonly) the US Constitution and the 13th/14th Amendments.  There was no law or Constitutional right to "borrow your uncle's shotgun" prior to this Colorado law.

DeGette's comments are irrelevant and are not representative of those who support this legislation, any more than the outright lies of pro-gun legislators and groups.  But if you want to try to smear all supporters of these laws with her comments, we can go there:

Bill Jackson (GA) -

There's more with hammers than with shotguns and pistols and AK-47s.

NRA - Says Barack Obama "supported Ted Kennedy's ammo ban to outlaw all deer-hunting ammunition.

Craig James (TX) -

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are negotiating with the United Nations about doing a treaty that will ban the use of firearms.

NRA -

"Across the board, violent crime in jurisdictions that recognize the Right to Carry is lower than in areas that prevent it."

Jason Brodeur (FL) - Says gun ownership information could be recorded and collected by the federal government and insurance companies as part of the federal health care law.

NRA - Obama's has a "ten point plan" to change the Second Amendment and ban the use of firearms for home defense.

Our review of the academic literature found that a broad array of evidence indicates that gun availability is a risk factor for homicide, both in the United States and across high-income countries.  Case-control studies, ecological time-series and cross-sectional studies indicate that in homes, cities, states and regions in the US, where there are more guns, both men and women are at higher risk for homicide, particularly firearm homicide.

US is nearly at the bottom of the hole for homocides from firearms rates.

Sad Facts about Firearms.

Small arms, commonly known as firearms or guns,2 are used to kill as many as 1,000 people each day. Millions more are wounded, or their lives upended when access to development aid, markets, health, education and human rights is disrupted by people with guns.

There are more than 875 million firearms in the world, 75 per cent of them in the hands of civilians. Guns outnumber passenger vehicles by 253 million, or 29 per cent.  Each year about eight million new small arms, plus 10 to 15 billion rounds of ammunition are manufactured -- enough bullets to shoot every person in the world not once, but twice.  The authorized international trade in small arms and ammunition exceeds US$7.1 billion each year.

Not sure if anyone remembers this.  But the same day of the Sandy Hook Shooting, a madman went on a rampage in China attacking elementary school kids with a knife.  Jeralyn tried to use this as example of people using other weapons when guns aren't available.  While true, the problem is knives suck when you goal is kill a lot of people, even kids.  Not one person died that day at that school.  
Gun are illegal in China.

What non of the pro-gun people will ever admit, is that guns are the problem that we need guns to protect ourselves from.  But like I have said many times, they let the market get so saturated, even if we stopped manufacturing all guns, the violence reduction would be miniscule.  It would take, IMO, 50 years to see any meaningful results.  So IMO all this talk of gun controls is masturbation, these fractional changes aren't go to do anything.  

And if Connecticut is any indication, trying to reduce the number of guns has the exact opposite effect because the nuts are.... paranoid, to say the least.  Wonder how many of these idiots are putting themselves in financial chaos to buy a gun they don't need.
