So when you arent being rude or insulting you are dismissive.

Since you are incapable of being part of a discussion why dont you take your pom poms and preach to the choir in another thread instead of trolling here.

I am here, what do you mean? The thread has pretty much died down, all the arguments made, no need to lock it ...

See my explanation in a PM. Share it if you wish.

Doesn't everyone already know how to use a gun? I don't mean safely or accurately but doesn't everyone know how to pick a gun up and pull the trigger? Even little kids? So how would teaching safety cause more problems?

I'm not saying everyone should be forced to but I don't see why people think learning safety equals encouraging people to shoot.

I have said it before and will say it again. When ever people and guns get together you have accidents. I have significant experience with people and guns. I am a gun owner and collector. Most people, especially children are not safe around guns. It is like me not allowing my wife to operate my chainsaw. I put the chainsaws and guns in the same class. There are just some things that are not safe for the majority of people or children to use. "Gun safety training" is a oxymoron. There is no way to make a gun safe. When you give someone training that infers that they know what they are doing. i have seen the most experience hunters shooting each other, and collectors shooting themselves with unload guns. That is what they thought anyway. If you have a child that you want to learn safety then teach him/her yourself, but don't expect him/her to be safe because of that training, because they aren't.

Thanks for proving my point in a very petty and immature way, good trolling tactic. Dont forget to take your pom poms with you.

Seriously, I read a article today about an amendment that was inserted into
the recent Credit Card Bill that Obama signed a few days ago. It allows guns
in all National Parks. A really dumb idea.

Why is it a dumb idea, and why are you mad about it?

It makes perfect sense to me, other then the fact it was piggy backed on the credit card bill.

Thanks Karen. Except for a few lapses, the subject is still guns.

Why the confusion?

Seriously, if any of you have nothing of substance to add to this thread why bother posting in it? Are you just boosting your post count? Are you simply trying to be belittling and insulting? If you dont agree with the premise of the thread back it up with an actual argument or be an adult and not post.

Why is basic firearm safety so threatening to the anti's who have posted in this thread? Why is the idea of arming potential victims a bad idea?

I have to question Randi's sig

There are over five hundred and fifty million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's five hundred and fortynine million too many! The only question is, how do we get rid of them all?

Who gets to keep the remaining 1 million firearms? How do we get rid of them all if there are 1 million left? If all firearms are gone what is the next banned weapon?

Didnt the UK try and ban long kitchen knives a few years ago? ETA: Should there be a continent wide ban of machetes in Africa?

I'm glad that someone got my point!

I have not seen any constructive debate in quite a while. The posturing
going on now will not change the opinion of either side. Maybe it is time
to let it die a natural death.

I have been waiting for this question!

The remaining weapons will of course be for the poor people who live in countries where they can't go down to the shop to buy their groceries, like you and me, but have to hunt to keep them from starving to death.

Concerning knives, I'm happy to tell you that long knives are banned here. Living in a city, you have absolutely no use for a knife when you're walking around in the street or going to a discoteque!
