If you need something for protection, I figure there is something more suitable. I think both your gov't and ours need to do a better job of keeping the weaponry out of the hands of criminals. Then people would not have as much need to own guns. |

Let's spend billions of $$$ on guns too !!!! |

Like bombs! Seems to me that mass killers will carry out their mission no matter what. 99.9% of the general public don't murder two dozen people. But where there is a will there's a way. Am I wrong? |

I want to be free, fuck governments at this point, I just want to be left alone to live a happy life as I see fit. ~ Time devours all things, nothing ever stays the same so why get upset when it inevitably changes. Everything is as it should be. Just go with the flow of life. ~ |

If that was true the assault weapons ban would have made it to the floor at least once sense it expired but it has not. Guess I'll repeat my self... I don’t know a single cop who would leave their wife at home unarmed with the kids why they go to work. People have a movie based opinion of guns; a gun is a tool just the same as a hammer to be used as a tool. I’ve said this before, my father used to keep his gun loaded in his locker a school along with all his other friends who would go shooting after school. No one cared, it was normal! What we have today is uneducated public that more and more their only contact with guns is through movies and bad media. They think you can shoot a car and it will blow up! They have very little real concepts of what gun is for; they do not even realize people actually shoot their dinners in real life daily! They have done nothing but buy from the grocery store their whole lives. Knowing what a gun is and how to use it removes a person’s preconceived ideas and fears. Besides why have a gun if everyone in the house is not trained on safety and respect and proper use of all weapons. I got my first browning BA22 at the age of 3, you don’t hide guns from kids that just makes them more curious, like putting a big red button on a table and saying don’t push that button! You educate them. Last Edited by Chrit on 12/17/2012 07:23 PM I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw.

I really do not think an ak47 is a necessary for civilians. Quoting: GLP TARD "No Free Man Should Ever be Barred the Use of Firearms. The Strongest Reason, For the People, To Maintain Their Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Is to Protect Themselves, As a Last Resort, Against Tyranny in Government". Thomas Jefferson. Hunting has ZERO to do with the 2nd Amendment. P.S. - If you really are a Hunter you'd know you just can't hunt anytime you want. Keeping and Bearing Arms is a Constitutional Right protected by the Bill of Rights. Hunting is a privilege and regulated by season and permit. Last Edited by Squatch Hunter on 12/17/2012 07:28 PM |

No More Lies User ID: 1707881 United States 12/17/2012 07:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm SO SICK of people saying the 2nd amendment is for hunting....I'm starting to get tired of people saying it's only for hunting and protection from home intruders. NO! The 2nd amendment, FIRST and FOREMOST, is for protection AGAINST TYRANNY!!!!!! If you think our enemies, whether abroad or inside our own gov't, are scared of a pea shooter, think again!! The musket WAS the assault rifle of it's day. It's not the constitution that has changed, it's technology! Take away this right and we fall victim like 10s of millions that did under Hitler, Stalin, pol pot, Mao, etc etc etc. |

I really do not think an ak47 is a necessary for civilians. Quoting: GLP TARD its not about hunting it's about penis extensions. Do you always fantasize about penises or is it just when the subject of guns comes up? I always find it funny when someone equates something they don't like (guns, big trucks, fast cars, etc) to small penises. It really says something about someone if they automatically think of penises when certain subjects come up. NTTAWWT. /and my post still stands even if you're a female. |

Guns have been legal, and common in this country since its founding - for over 200 years. A hundred years ago you would have been hard pressed to find a house without a gun in it. The mass killings are a recent phenomena. You'll have to find something else to blame it on. The Psychiatric profession that keeps administering mind altering drugs instead of boots in the ass is a good place to start. |

It is written in the 2nd amendment the reason for having guns and it isn't for hunting, it is to protect ourselves & property from a tyrantical oppressive government. |
