Are we surprised?

One more reason to recall him, not that the next guy would be any better.

armed and humorous:
I'm not saying that Suttle's approach is the way to go, but I don't have a problem with anyone who wants to keep guns out of the hands of criminals.  What I do have a problem with is the people who try to make criminals out of people for simply owning or carrying guns.  I see Lincoln's mayor is also part of the coalition.  If you didn't read it, you should probably at least look at the mission statement, or whatever they call it, of the coalition.  If there was a way to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, we wouldn't have to be so concerned about self-defense and could concentrate more on targets and hunting.  The way I see it stiffer penalties for actual crimes is the way to keep guns out of criminals' hands.  If they're in jail, they probably aren't going  to have one.

David Hineline:
How about we keep criminals out of society.  If a person is not locked up then they should be trusted.  Why are we releasing people into society that can not be trusted to own a tool.

Because the libs think criminals can be "rehabilitated".  Hardly ever the case.

Blkcat:
"If a person is not locked up then they should be trusted."  You have got to be kidding me!!  Do you believe ALL miscreants have been locked up??

I support the 2nd Amendment and the right for honest citizens to keep and bear arms, BUT I do NOT condone the bearing of arms by felons and gangbangers.  RIGHTS come with RESPONSIBILITIES.  I see nothing wrong (or anti-2nd Amendment)  with getting guns out of the hands of criminals.  I understand the difficulties of dealing with terms like "illegal guns" - that's a bad choice of words, but I am in favor of getting guns out of the hands of criminals!
