What an interesting day

[hoodonit00]

Random thought. I know a lot of people are afraid of the government taking their guns away. With all due respect, when has that ever even been considered? Most of the time it is ridiculous paranoia resulting from some kind of new legislation to make guns harder to obtain, so some random joe blow can't just go to a store and pick one up. Do you really think your guns will be taken away by force? It seems outlandish. Also, do you need a gun to feel safe? I personally would find it hard for me to feel safe with a gun in my home, but then again I understand where you are coming from. I don't mean to direct this question to you directly, but you are clearly a proud gun owner so I thought I'd ask.

When you ask about when it has happened all you have to do is look at England and Australia. There were many gun owners in these countries that have had to voluntarily hand over firearms or be considered criminals. Violent crime rates in both countries have gone up though in spite of it. As far as banning in the U.S goes it could and would be done if the Govt. thought it could get away with it. There are groups that their main goal is to ban them, all they need is a Govt' that is open to persue it. They probably could not ban them outright but have such draconian laws that it would be very difficult to have them. Not turning this political but I think it was Obama who didn't want a gun sales within 10 square miles of a school. Problem is that would eliminate a lot of gun stores in the U.S. As I have stated. It's not a question of feeling safe, it's a question of I would rather have a firearm and never need it then to need one and not have it. I'm glad you understand where I am coming from. Gun ownership is not for everyone. I'm just glad I have the option.

The case you are narrating is as probable as a drunk neighbour trying to open your door by mistake or that one of your daughters shoots someone else by accident

Really? Because I give you my word that one of my neighbors or a visitor of one of them opened my door once by mistake. They looked inside and didn't see who or what they expected and shut it again.

 

[The Ween]

Sure, but you need special licences to get one. Not something you can easily buy.

Oh! And I am sure you would be brave enough to defend yourself...after all you are a pirate!

I'm ready for them!

 

[Darth Cruel]

I wonder. Say that there are poeple who can not defend themselves without a gun. It does not matter, the reason. Just say that there are people who can not. Go ahead and assume that they are not "real men" because they can not defend themselves without a gun. Is it an act against mankind to allow them to use a gun to defend themselves?

 

[Something Sexy]

I'm ready for them!

Yowzaaaaaaa

 

[The Ween]

You need to get busy and find one.

I need to find one and get busy!

 

[Something Sexy]

I need to find one and get busy!

If you are wearing that, it shouldn't be too difficult.

 

[The Ween]

If you are wearing that, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Those shoes would kill my feet though!

 

[Something Sexy]

The shoes aren't a deal breaker for me.

 

[The Ween]

I would own guns for two reasons, A) The inevitable Zombie Apocalypse and B) The inevitable revolution in this country.

Zombie Revolution!

You gotta NUT UP or SHUT UP!

</EMBED>

 

[King Darkness]

Yup, same here. Have guns to kill zombies when they rise to consume mankind, which they will, its only a matter of time

I'm not a zombie! I'm just tired.

 

[azurepred]

I'm ready for them!

Swords> Guns , but light sabers would be even better

 

[Shatterer of Dreams]

agreed, a good sword is irreplaceable, guns run out of ammo.

 

[BadMoon]

PA is about to pass a law where if you are home and an intruder breaks in you can shoot them without question. The second part is if you are in a public place you do NOT have to attempt to flee before you shoot. GOOD!

Sounds very similar to Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law.

I think as it stands now someone can break into your house and if you can't absolutely prove that they intended harm you, you can be prosecuted. Glad someone wised up. You shouldn't have to prove ____. They are in your home, and they have ZERO need to be there.

That is the way it is here in California. Hell, if a thug accidentally gets hurt while he is robbing you, you can be held responsible here.

Yep and that is so very wrong.
