Is it like a hunting thing, do you like to use them for sport? Do you go to firing ranges etc for your leisure time? Is it like clay pigeon shooting but with a real rifle? I don't quite get it. Please if anyone can explain this further It would be great! :) [/quote] "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. [b]The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States.[/b] [i]A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive."[/i] [b]Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution (Philadelphia 1787)[/b] [/quote] Thanks for this, yes I understand the principle and philosophy behind your beliefs in owning guns as your rights, so do you just keep them locked away? Are they just there "in case" or is it part of the american culture eg. to practice your shot at a firing range or go hunting, that is what I'm trying to ask, or are they purely your security policy to protect your civil liberties? I know this sounds dumb or whatever but instead of asking people here in the UK i think an american perspective is better! thanks! [/quote] I'll chime in on this question. What you quoted above has become a consideration for our family in the past 10 years or so in owning firearms. But even before that, we have armed ourselves to protect our home against criminals. My parents businesses are on the same property, and they have been robbed 4 times in as many years. Law enforcement in our smallish town is more concerned with arresting drug users/dealers and drunk drivers/public intoxication violators than anyone else, and it's always been that way. The folks that robbed our businesses have never been caught. So, needless to say, we're not dialling 911 and waiting for LEOs to arrive if someone decides their comin' in uninvited. [/quote]
