Are stricter handgun laws needed after the Fort Hood Terror Attack?

Gerald, you don't have a clue about what you are talking about. The 2nd amendment has to do with citizens being able to own firearms who are NOT in the military. It also has nothing to do with hunting or target shooting. It was intended to make it impossible for a Tyrant from outside this country, or one that rises up from within this country from enslaving the American people. Read the Constitution and the Federal and Anti-Federalist papers, they spell it all out for everybody. US code title 10 and 32 defines it even further. Don't fall into the infantile gun control mindset that has been used all around the world by tyrants throughout history to disarm and then enslave entire populations.

ANTI GUN LAWS ONLY PROTECT CRIMINALS AND
PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DESTROY THE U.S.A.
A PROVEN FACT.

THE MUSLEM AT FT HOOD KILLED ONLY 13 PEOPLE
AND INJURED LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED.

ONE INDIVIDUAL MUSLEM WITH THE AID OF MONEY FROM MUSLEMS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES,
AND SOME U.S.INDIVIDUALS, IS KILLING, DAY BY DAY,THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; SEVERAL MILLION U.S. CITIZENS.

I AM A WWII-KOREA VET, FULL BLOOD TEXAN

as a disabled veteran (paraplegic / amputee) i am wheelchair bound and lost my right leg, i hunt with pistols for small game animals, a rifle / shotgun is too front heavy and pulls me forward in my chair and i can not safely fire the weapon, also the recoil of a rifle could and has flipped me over in my chair, so pistols are my only option without spending several 1000's of dollars on tripods and other safety gear to give me the ability to safely use a rifle. i fought for all americans rights and foriegners for that matter and yet everyday i see people wanting to take away my right and my only ability for hunting.

not too long ago i seen a post about the number of rounds in the clip asking why more than 6-7 rounds are needed, hunting last year i was attacked by a pack of wild dogs, i killed 7 b4 they ran away, normally in that situation the first shot or two they take off but they kept coming, if i didnt have that pistol and the amount of rounds in it i would probably be dead today.

ALOT of americans look at gun control from only their perspective, they forget some of us are limited to using certain weapons for disabilities, the only rifle i own i can safely use is an m-4, its lightweight, short length barrel length, and as such it makes it 300% more safe for myself and others hunting for me to use as i have 100% control over the weapon, BUT i hear alot of people say why are weapons such as those needed for hunting when they themselves could use a 30.06 rifle (which would flip me as soon as i shot it) again they are going off their situation and perspective and not taking into account people like myself who was born with or disabled thru an accident or thru service to their country.

to sum it up people like myself need the ability to own these weapons to enjoy hunting as those who are not disabled do, and its getting harder for us to do so each year with new laws and the huge price jump of items such as all terrain wheelchairs, disabled adaptive hunting equipment has skyrocketed in the last couple years, ( outdoor wheelchairs $20k-$40k each, accessible equipment for a rifle ($750-$2500, accessible crossbow $1200-$2k with hand crank and such) its almost like we are being pushed out of this argument by uping the sheer cost for the gear so we have the ability to hunt.

so please before yall weigh in on wether we should make it harder or add more cost to weapons or other gear look at all perspectives and how its going to impact each american. not every disabled american has the advantages i do, my friends in the military went to DRMO (military junk yard) and built me a chair that has tank tracks so i could hunt, without the use of pistols or ability to purchase them basically i would get to go out in the woods with a friend and watch them shoot the animal for me, and thats not really hunting it is a a spectator sport at that point.

David said it all! People need to stop being politically correct! When Army doctors meet a nut case in their profession they should not have to fear for their career! Guns do not kill, people do! Look at the second amendment of the Constitution:"people have the right to keep and bare arms!" As long as that is true, no government attacks the people they govern!

No.
