Gun Restrictions and Your Rights

Sheriff Gonna Getcha

Okay offiss, you sucked me back in.

#1. I don't feel the world is filled with pretty swell individuals, which is precisely why I don't think most people should have access to weapons. You, on the other hand, seem to think that most people are swell and trustworthy enough to own firearms. So, I'm not sure who hasn't come to the right "realization" or to work out their logic.

#2. I am not sure why people think our nation would turn into China, Iran, Cuba, etc. without guns. The idea that Clinton, Bush and other politicians are just waiting for the opportunity to storm the Jedi Temple and kill all the younglings is a little far-fetched and paranoid IMO. That notion is about 1mm from the extremist conspiracy plot that the UN is secretly planning to invade the US. I simply don't buy the notion that several fat guys who play war on the weekends in funny clothes are the linchpin of our democracy and, without them, the evil government would turn us into Nazi Germany.

#3. I still have yet to hear anyone quibble with my basic premise that getting rid of all guns would be good. The only thing I hear people say is that you cannot get rid of all guns. And, as I previously mentioned, I think it would not be as difficult to get rid of the vast majority of guns as people think.

I think it would be very difficult, but not impossible. But regardless of the feasibility of a weapons ban, I certainly don't think loosening gun laws and increasing gun ownership is the smart thing. I'll leave it at that.

I like this kind of Idea, but as I read it outloud I realilized something. We have a "peoples army" inplace. Now it might not work as fast as you have indicated, but our founders thought of it. Its called VOTING.

Just out of curiousity, how many people vote on here?

Also, as for anyone who is from PA can attest. This "peoples army" thing works with voting. Just in the past year or maybe 2 years the PA goverment officials voted to give themselves something like a 60% raise. Shortly after they did that, just about everyone in PA threatened to vote there represenative out of office, which caused some to kindly decline the raise they had just got.

Also, I do agree with everything Beenmseven has said in here on this topic. I too have a PA protection permit which entitles me to carry a consealed firearm. Even though I have the permission of PA to carry a consealed firearm I don't. By rights I could carry one hidden in my car, but I don't. Just because one can have the right to carry a consealed firearm doesnt mean that they do all the time if ever. It just the satisfaction of knowing that I have that right to protect not only myself but my 1 year old and 3 year old daughter and my 5 year old son and my wife.

This is a tragic story. I am a firearm lover. Gentlemen, make sure that you have an intruder before you fire a shot in the dark.

My daughter is living with my parents for a couple of weeks while she is in the process of moving (she is 24). I asked my father to take the rounds out of his gun while she is there. My concern was they have not had anyone else living with them for over 10 years and if she came home late one night would he remember.
