    I don't really understand the need for the AK47s and other guns like them being needed in the average home. Blue's picture kinda freaked me out. Wouldn't want to live next door to that arsenal.

    I can understand a handgun for protection if that's what you want it for, but why all the other big guns?? I'm not saying like a rifle you shoot a deer with, but the assault rifles. Assault Rifle. Kinda gives the impression of exactly what it is.

    There are just way too many guns on the streets, and way too many easy ways for them to get into the hands of people who want to use them against other people.

    I remember watching "Bowling for Columbine" and it was one of those mid western states or somewhere out there, where if you opened up a bank account with a certain amount of money, you got a free gun of your choice. I about fell over viewing that. What the heck kind of institution has that kind of "free gift when opening an account"?

    I want to see less guns on the streets (we have way too many here in Allentown), stricter gun laws, and tougher repercussions for those who are found with them and don't have any license to carry them. There need to be more restrictions with the licenses and what guns are allowed to be carried as protection as well. AK47s, and guns like that, are not in that category, in my opinion.


    Turkey bacon qualifies in my book as bacon. It tastes just as good.

    Thanks jenn-librarian. I agree with you.
    Glad someone else shares my opinion.

    With the exception of the bacon part... :P

    Well, nothing beats REAL bacon, lol, but I can handle turkey bacon if I must. I did date an Egyptian who freaked out about pork products in the house.

    It wasn't till I wanted him to get lost that I would actually come home and say "YUMMMMM.... I had the BIGGEST, most AWESOME, BLT HOAGIE at WaWa today, with EXTRA BACON!" and breathe on him for effect. He'd get so pissed off with me, he'd refuse to touch me. (DUH! That was the desired goal, lol!)

    I may love someone, no matter what their religion, but I've come to the conclusion that I will never give up BACON for anyone!!

    What I have is nothing compared to my neighbors or my friends in Anchorage. Nothing to be afraid of, you are actually safer around legal owners of firearms.

    People in other states actualy hunt with AK47 semi auto clones, mine are for the target range and one as my bear gun. I really need to get a Siaga 12 as my river gun but I cant afford them. Also an assault rifle is one that is full auto, what I have are all semi auto.

    The problem is not the numbers on the street, the problem is too many are on the street illegally.

    Bowling for Columbine is so full of mistruths, misdirections and misleading editting, it shouldnt be taken seriously.

    If you get what you want there will be more firearms in the hands of criminals and less in the hands of law abiding citizens.
