So there should be no control? Any idiot can have a gun?


We have a ****-ton of useless drug laws that fail to keep drugs off the
streets. You really think gun laws would be any different?

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns! Why is it so hard
for you and Biden to understand that?


To drive a car you have to pass a test. To buy a gun, all you need is
money. If the kid buying the CO gun had to pass a simple test he may
not have bought it.

I'm not against guns, just the simplicity of idiots getting them.
Nothing is perfect but little things can help.

I'm not against some guns. Hunting weapons (bolt/lever action
rifles and shotguns) should be available to those with the
appropriate training (hunter safety, etc). Target weapons
likewise.

I'm very much against semi-automatic rifles with large magazine
capacities as they are only used to kill people.

That’s not true, they can be handy when being
charged by a herd of rampaging buffalo or hippos.

Revolvers are ok, not sure about the 1911 et alia.

Glocks work a lot better than a revolver if you happen to be
where those mass murderers are shooting anyone in sight.

In looking at the second amendment, which talks
about arms, not guns, one could read it in the
context of the 18th century arms - muskets, the
odd single-shot rifle, swords, pole-arms and cannon.

They did have horse drawn field artillery. Are you seriously
suggesting you lot should be allowed to have those if you want ?

Arms today encompasses everything
from a bb-gun to nuclear weapons.

We clearly have a limit today on the arms that a citizen may
possess (e.g. hand grenades, most automatic weapons), so
it is just a matter of determining where the cutoff is.

Self-defense is often cited as a justification for the possession
of military weapons, which is pretty silly on the face of it.

Not if you have someone like that one shooting anyone
he feels like shooting. That’s what military weapons are
designed for, being able to kill someone doing that.

Red Dawn is a movie, not real life.
