Firearms. Yea or Nay?

[RICHARD]

but unless the trigger is pulled that bullet isn't going to kill anyone
altho notice I didn't say a PERSON pulling the trigger this time b/c even a monkey can pull a trigger.
and no that isn't a racial remark

DAMN YOU!
Always with the logical answer.

awww Richard I know you me!

actually last year around this time we had a 12 year old boy hunting with his father and he was killed not by being shot by his father/ another person. But b/c where he had the gun that he'd used for years position when he fired the kickback hit him square in the heart, and caused his heart to malfunction and by the time he was brought to the ER a bloodclot had already formed and he died. So in that case it was a GUN that killed someone. Not the bullet.

LOL, I was trying to keep you safe. And now the secret is out!

Ever suspect that the Anti Gun lobbyists would bust a cap in yo arese to get the point across?

There are lies, damn lies and then there are statistics.

All the hot air in the world cannot change one thing. Firearm ownership is a God given, Constitutionally affirmed individual right. Nothing, short of a repeal of the 2nd Amendment, can change that. That happens... States start seceding. No doubt.

Irrational, emotional people will always be against this individual right. But in the end... I worry little about it. Because either way, they are NOT getting my guns. There are those of you who will take that to mean that I am some sort of crazy gun nut... That's fine. It is not true, but it is fine. Simply put, my family's safety from tyranny, no matter what form it takes, is the most important Earthly thing to me. No mere government can or shall take that from me.

Make me a criminal for owning an inanimate object? That means it is time to vote from the rooftops. Why? Because I'd rather die free than live a slave.

ok - first of all, I haven't read the thread - I just took the easy way out and went to the last chapter.

50M a day? at that rate, we'll all be wiped out in 4 months!

But seriously folks,

Us, (The US of A) have never suffered from a military coup. Why? because the citizens are allowed to bear arms.

Once that right is taken away, military coups are inevitable.

so I'll keep my guns, thank you very much.

That's why the Coupe De Ville never became popular.

Now can you tell us the 4 things he did wrong in handling that firearm?

[ramanth]

Probably not four. Not that it matters as only one seriously wrong thing got him shot.

I own guns and grew up in a house with guns btw.

[Puckstop31]

BTW... ES...

Nothing to say in the 2nd Amendment thread? Surely you can agree that the 2nd Amendment is at the heart of this discussion? As smart as you are, you should be able to rebut all of our arguements... right?

What a low opinion you have of the US military! The only reason for no coup is an armed populace?

There are lots of countries without our level of firearms and also without military coups!

If the populace is unarmed why use the military for a coup?

Is it just me but does the word coup just look wierd?

I knew I was just being paranoid.

Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn't have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.

Linky.

Rather then further muddy my thread for amending the Constitution for term limits.

The original intent of one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America.

"Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."
George Washington
First President of the United States

None of the Founding Fathers wrote that the Government should be better armed then its Citizens. None of them wrote that the citizens should be limitted to muzzle loaded rifles or pistols while the government makes and keeps the technological advancements in arms for themselves.
