It's all about safety, hence the emphasis on gun education and training.

Yeah that's why I think he's just ignorant of the subject. He honestly believes a high capacity magazine is somehow inherently more dangerous than one with ten rounds in it.

You may call it ignorance, I may call it reality. It'll be up to our legislators to decide soon enough.

frick your stupid fricking opinion.

Then don't read and respond.



I was asked by another poster my opinion on certain questions, I responded. Then was asked by another poster to respond to his response.


You are inviting my opinion into your life by reading and responding.

Guns with limits only leads to more violence. Guns without limits prevents it.

The only thing that stops a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun.

The only thing that stops a bad government with guns is a populace with more guns.

Advocates of guns and gun control alike will never see eye to eye as there is a fundamental trust difference.

I don't trust an entity that wants to disarm me, or restrict my ability to arm, while keeping that leverage for itself. Gun control advocates have no issue with this. The debate is endless.

unnecessary laws weaken necessary laws. We have way more than enough laws. Murder is against the law.

Again, let me make it very clear. I'm not against gun ownership. However, I (like many others) do feel that there should be limits.

Correct me if I misrepresent your opinion here, but I think you support a magazine ban (10 rounds) on law abiding citizens.

Here is where the problem lies:

1. Why is 10 the magic number? It is simply a round number to make people "feel" good. It's supposed to make you think that carnage will be limited. As others have said, someone can change a magazine in a matter of a second. It just does not matter.

2. Why should we have to follow the rules of the law when the criminals don't, even if it puts us at an obvious disadvantage? If multiple attackers rob one house with one woman with one handgun with one 10 round magazine, then what is she supposed to do? The law is literally helping the criminals rob, rape, murder, dismember (etc.) her.

I also remember you stating you don't think civilians should be able to own semi automatic rifles. This also can relate to #2^ up there. But also:

3. What happened in California when those riots started? Didn't a lot of store owners go on their roofs armed to the teeth to prevent their precious business from being engulfed in flames? And didn't these exact same people use shotguns and rifles to defend these stores? Yes.

4. If someone happens to live close to the border of Mexico, say TX, NM, AZ, what happens if a drug cartel decides to raid your own isolated home? An AR15 is, without a doubt, very capable of killing people. Wouldn't you prefer the civilian have the odds evened with the criminals?

AR15s are great weapons and are outfitted to be efficient at stopping people. This is exactly why the military and law enforcement use these weapons. If I can't have a police officer around me 24/7, I would like to have the means to defend my life with the same firepower that they use to fight crime.

Especially considering our beloved leader and his totally not a criminal attorney general probably gave them the guns in the first place so they could cause situations like that and then try to go for our AR's because well.... who fricking knows why, but if that doesn't give you pause in your little liberal circle of trust that your government is benevolent I really don't think you're capable of thought in any fashion I'd recognize.

Remember back when liberals didn't trust the government? Can we get those back please because these seem to be one tragedy away from strapping on jackboots and stomping on the unclean's necks.

Only if that sentence starts with Never
