    It is the law of the land...and there has been, in the past, other laws that were challenged and sucessfully overturned because of people with differing opinions.

    So, while I will respect your will, I cannot agree to not challenge the law, your will, my neighbor's will, etc, by voicing my opposing opinion.

    A lemming I am not. And, I recognize that about you, too.

    I would almost welcome an attempt to "repeal" the 2nd Amendment. Perhaps we could, once and for all, be done with it. One way or the other...

    I say this because there are simply WAY too many gun owners who would not stand for it. It would quite literally, IMHO, spark another revolution/civil war.

    As a side note, I would like to thank you for keeping this civil. Most of the time when I debate this topic, it gets ugly and I get called names. LOL

    The only name I can think to call you is "Annie" as in "Annie get your gun".

    I am really tempted to deep-six this thread...mainly because it is starting an internet WWIII among people I think of as friends.

    Interesting - I don't get that impression at all. I think it's quite civil - so far.

    I think you need to apologize-You are incorrect.

    There is a light blue Mercury Tracer parked in the driveway at this moment. It was driven privately for years.

    It’s frightening to read your views, Puckstop, and I hope not too many USA citizens feel that way. Where is your limit? What would it take for you to use your gun? Someone threatening you/your family with a gun? A knife? Nasty words? Can you picture it... everyone walking around defending themself from all the others with guns - what a world!! You'd soon get rid of each other.

    So much more reason not to let everyone have a gun!

    Haven't anyone learned from what happened the last few years?

    I have to agree, I think that was one of the most interesting and civil debates I have seen on this board. Well done, both of you.
