    fourdc: a bow hunter, that I can respect, I do some black powder hunting myself. Both take much more skill then some semiauto with hundreds of rounds.

    I dont think most people in favor of gun control are for the banning of all guns, just sane regulation. Hell I would be very pissed if they tried to take away my buddies .50cal or flame thrower (yes you can have these legaly)

    I see its gun control and welfare taht is keeping the black man down. that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Perhaps its the faild loony left policy of low income houseing (inforced gehtos) and a culture of failure that is to blame, add that to the rights constant push for a larg source of cheap labor and you have your culprit...gun control has very litel to do with any of that.
    Dont be racist here Bballad................and who are you voting for again or are you still embarrassed to say :lol:

    I could say the same about censorship, or the right to vote, etc etc.
    Once the anti-gun people have prevailed, they will give the orders
    and you and I will shut up and obey.

    Gun rights are part of a seamless garment of human rights. ALL of your
    rights are under attack from some faction or another. Each attack, taken alone,
    postures itself as a "reasonable" regulation for the "public safety"

    That offensive T-shirt you want to wear, sorry, it's a threat to the person
    who wants to beat you up. Wanna go skateboarding? Sorry, some old lady
    is offended. That wierd music coming from your car, obviously a sign of antisocial
    tendencies. Peacefully proseletize for your religion? Be reasonable, someone might
    feel that you are "pushing something on them".

    This generation will live to regret the headlong rush to disarm the
    people, thus concentrating all force in the hands of the government.
    Governments are no more virtuous than the general population.
    Why should they be entitled to our unqualified faith and trust?
    I came in to the world with nothing. I still have most of it.

    In answer to the question about how quickly i can have my shotgun locked and loaded .... pretty damned quick. Alot faster than the 11 minute response time for the cops to get here. The bottom line is that in the U.S. our constitution grants us the right to keep and bear arms. If you think about it at the time the constitution was written muskets were assault rifles. Why shouldnt i be allowed to have an Ar 15 as long as im responsible with it and do everything in my power to insure that no evil comes from it?

    No one is saying that you can't hell if you realy want one you can have a BAR or a AK with proper licensing, see its the regulations and licensing that verifies that you act responasable with the gun.

    bballad hits a good point. There are countless gun laws and regulations already on the books. If the federal, state, county, city governments actually enforced the laws people would shut up. Then those who still speak out against will have shown their true colors.

    I live in one of the most reverended and coveted pro gun counties in the united states. It's great and we citizens work hard to protect that here. Stuff you can buy here is illegal in 11 states. Which is odd because just by crossing a border you could go to jail. Crazy.

    RoadClosed: the problem is that there is no coherency through out the law. what is legal in one area isn't in another. There at least needs t be a universal licensing and ID /registration system.

    I have guns, always have, always will. There should be strict measures for people to obtain them though. Not every nut on the street should have one. I also agree that taking the guns away from the public is a bad idea. Our founding fathers new this, that's why they allowed us to have them. We sure as hell need to keep guns out of drug-dealers and kids hands though, that's for sure.

    I agree with whoever said: "you can take this gun, yeah, from my cold dead hand". I believe it was the NRA chair. Forgot his name for the moment.
