Only certain Automatic Weapons should be restricted. There are people who arn't in Law Enforcement who do have a use and serious need for them.


My problem is, once you let them in a little bit, they will take more and more and more. The slow invasion on our right to privacy since 9-11 is proof of that.

and people actually want to ease gun control restrictions. just what we need, more people like this looney packing. so much for, 'if guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.' outlaws have guns now and always will no matter how many or few laws are on the books but an outlaw did not point that particular gun.


so if "outlaws will always have guns" then what does it matter? are you saying we shouldn't be able to defend ourselves from the outlaws? that really makes no sense. people cannot relly on the police all the time, and i am glad i can carry my gun with me.


said nothing of the sort. you're obviously free to defend yourself any way you lawfully can. but to answer your first question, no, it doesn't much matter how many gun laws are in place that protect the bulk of society precisely because laws will not stop outlaws from having guns. so what's wrong with laws that protect children in the home? what's wrong with laws restricting automatic weapons?


You just answered your own question.

fact is, as gun laws have become more prevalent, violent crimb has been in a steady decline over the last three decades. does that necessarily mean that the surge in gun laws and restrictions has had a causual effect? no, of course not. but it also doesn't follow that more guns will make us all safer.


the way i see it, someone stealing you car in the parking lot does not put your life in danger, neither does a burglary when your not home. there is no need to shoot someone for trying to steal something. i think that guns are for self defense or protecting someone elses life only, not to play police and stop a burglary...


Normally you can take someone down who's stealing, almost always they just want to get away. I deal with it on a daily basis at work. I usually catch and put in cuffs on average 3 a day. I have NEVER had to use any type of weapon to accomplish this. If you are that worried about it, or can not defend yourself or take someone out with your bare hands, just goto www.taser.com and get a civilian use C2 Taser. You can drop just about anyone with one of those and can use them if someone is breaking into your house.

Now if they are breaking in to your house with more serious intentions or have a weapon then of course shoot to kill.

i have never been against guns actually in some cases i wish people did have guns besides the ones who shouldn't,like the Virginia Tech incident just to name one.In most circumstances i'd rather it be them and not me who gets shot.


and if 5 of the 11 that were shot had a gun, would he still have shot 11 people? i'm guessing no... he was that brave and got as far as he did because he knew no one had a gun...


I believe he was mind controlled myself, like some others who have acted out in public in such a way, but I will agree that if you take away people's rights to defend themselves with a firearm, you will increase crime because those that are determined to do harm are gonna still do it, if not more so when they know the people they are trying to harm have no means to fight back.

All gun control does is punish the responsible.


actually, i have been wondering about this mind control thing for a while now...

well, nothing prevents federal, state amd municipal governments from inacting gun laws and restrictions. it's not about letting them in. it's about there's nothing can prevent it.

That's the entire problem though in a nutshell, we've given all the power over to them, instead of saying no.

Banning automatic weapons would totally screw people who are Bail Enforcement Agents, Military contractors(since they are civilian and not Law Enforcement or Military), Body Guards, Security Officers, former Military members, Armored Money Transport Services, Personal and Property Protective Services and people who own property or live on the border to Mexico are just some of the Non Law Enforcement people who would have a need and use for automatic weapons.

Yea we do, I have been in live threatening situations and VERY dangerous situations where I wish I was armed at the time. I have had a gun pulled on me, I have been stabbed, cut and sliced(over 20 stitches), jumped, hit with objests(I am actually off work recovering from an injury, I had 8 liquor bottles broken on my nuts damaging one of the testicle tubes), almost ran over.

Once your in situations like that you will realise that what your thinking is completely wrong.

just seeming coincidences, like the shooter at fort hood went to the same school, did almost the same thing, just a few months apart... people just doing crazy **** all the time nowadays... a woman in Dallas cut off her childs arms, a random stranger goes and stabs 2 teenage girls in broad daylight for no apparent reason, a guy throws his wife off a bridge in rush hour traffic... are people that sic or is there something else going on?
