So tell me folks ~ How are you going to feel about gun control, when the next mass shooting takes the life of your Wife, Daughter, Son, one or both of your Parents, Grand Kids or a special dear friend?   
 
You all talk smart now, because you probably haven't lost a loved one from gun violence.
 
Unless gun owners are registered gun collectors, why do law abiding citizen need more than, say, three guns?  1 handgun, 1 rifle and 1 shotgun. Unless gun owners are registered gun collectors, why do law abiding citizen need Clips that hold 30 rounds.  If someone can't hit their target in three shots, then they should have any guns.
 
In my honest opinion.  If all the News outlets would stop sensationalizing each and every mass shooting, I believe the shooting would eventually stop.  Freedom of the press has gotten way out of hand when it come to gun violence...
 
One last thing.  The 2nd Amendment should be brought into the 21st Century.  It's not just about "Black Powder Muskets" anymore... 

not really

when the notion that being armed makes one a man has to be gotten rid of first

Shit happens.


Best way to prevent THAT kind is put the mentals the ACLU and DEMOCRAT let loose BACK into hospitals and arm everyone.

Guns save lives

Hypotheticals are for fools. Do you live every minute of your life by them???

"then they should have any guns" ~~  should have been "then they shouldn't have any guns".

How are you going to feel about gun control, when the next mass shooting takes the life of your Wife....

Same as I conclude now, because feelings don't trump reason.  I feel the same way about the lost lives as any decent person.

Gee my kid should not be near street corners with others,,, a car with a nut behind the wheel MIGHT plow into them.

How are you going to FEEL when it happen to YOUR kid??

What a bullshit way to post and think.

We will miss you when that happens.

boz is living proof of how much God despises wealth

With a mind as poor as his, he is wealthy in his own delusions.

well

he brags of having 1000's of oz's of gold

He has a market lock on stupid.

jigsaw,

So you believe the government should control the Second Amendment? Should they also control the First Amendment too?

BTW...I do agree if the media refused naming the mentally ill liberal (which all have been) POS...you are correct, they would stop or greatly decrease. Always remember....the vast majority 99.9% of all privately owned firearms never harm a soul...unless of course, you have evidence to the contrary?

Jigsaw, it's horrible to think that people would be so obstinate as to say, I'll buy as many damn guns as I want, fuck you all.

Responsible people not only find no reason to waste money on guns, but realize the value and need to have guns is about their purpose or their rarity.  Modern firearms rarely offer the hope of collectibility for many years.

I know several people who buy a new gun all the time because they want to have the biggest, baddest collection to show off and prove their manliness at the range.  others, like our family, have not bought a gun in years, except for hunting.

The problem, I see, is that there is no real way to ensure that Joe Blow, who lives in California and has a record or has been in and out of mental health hospitals for year, won't be able to go to North Dakota and buy a cache of weapons.

If there was a truly reliable national database we could solve a lot.

I don't know all the answers, but I do believe taking the right to own guns away from the law abiding, does nothing to stop those hell bent on doing evil.

As most if not all mass shootings happen in "gun free zones"!

Eliminate those and you eliminate mass shootings!

tcb,

We do have a NCIC check background check, but nothing prevents someone from lying about their mental history on the form, and a national database would help in solving that loophole...however, the liberal lawyers get involved and sue on behalf of the people committing these crimes. 

Libs/Pussies/Girlie-men want to change the 2nd Amendment GUARANTEE that mandates Americans will ALWAYS be able to own guns!!!

NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!!!

I am not a registered gun collector, but through inheritance, I own 2 very old double barrel shotguns, 1 Winchester model 1873, 1 32 special (rifle) that was my fathers, 1 22 hornet varmint rifle, 1 22 that belonged to my grandfather and is very old, 2 pistols that came from boy killed from wounds he suffered in Iraq as a reserve officer who was also a police officer, 1 38 caliber pistol I bought in 1969 when I returned from overseas. These weapons only get shot annually when I clean them. None have large capacity magazines.
Many of these are on display when I am home. All my weapons are stored in gun safes.
I own a 325 short mag, a 16 gauge semi-auto, that I use for hunting and a pistol that I have a sportsman permit to carry when hunting and fishing.
which of these do you gun haters want me to give up?

it will take time but we'll get them guns.......bet on it

It will take time...but we'll turn America communist...bet on it. 

There fixed it for you

it will take time but we'll get them guns.......bet on it

I have no doubt that you will keep trying.   Let no one doubt that or claim otherwise.

"It will take time but we'll get them guns.......bet on it"

You and who else Caserio.  Do you have a mouse in your pocket?

When guns are out of the hands of the mentally flawed and the criminals and when schools are protected by an armed security guard and metal detectors there might be less tragedies, but there will always be the first two that will be able to obtain weapons no matter how you try to punish the law abiding, licensed gun owners who do not commit these crimes, but could certainly be active in preventing one.

Caserio is a blind Johnny one Note that cannot wrap his head around common sense.

" which of these do you gun haters want me to give up? "

Let me run a extensive background check on you, then I'll get back to you.  If you want to keep those guns, get a Collectors Permit.  Then you won't have to give up any of your guns.

The trouble with gun nuts, is their interpretation of the second amendment.  Most of them have it wrong.  This is how it should be interpreted:>>

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms when serving in the Militia shall not be infringed.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know the gun nuts won't read this, but for the rest of you, you might find this interesting reading:>>

jst ~ I own a 9mm handgun, one 30-06 rifle and a 12 gage. shotgun. I also have a CCW Permit.  So, YES I believe the Government should have control over guns.  Stronger Government Gun Control may not be perfect, but it's better than what we have now...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This debate can go on forever.  But it shouldn't.  Less debate more action.  Or should we wait until the gun nuts run out of people to kill...

" Start with the Security details that look out for there own well being ! "
 
And what Security Details would that be Bob??

The Vigilante Corps and citizens take the law into their OWN hands!

When you can't walk the streets and everyone arms themselves, then the number of shootings will continue to rise, no matter how much or how little reporting is done...

All the Lib/Fag/Puzzie/Sodomite/Girlie-men on the East and West Coasts and Chicago will line up to turn in their scary, evil and yucky guns
   as soon as SOBama hints that his Regime is thinking about confiscation.

Count on it!!!


But, where Normal People live it will NEVER HAPPEN!!!!

  If you want to keep those guns, get a Collectors Permit.  Then you won't have to give up any of your guns.

in other words another tax ploy. who is to say the permit holder isn't a mental case? why pick on the poor who can't afford a permit.

If you libbies really want deep background checks, tie it to a national cwp!

(( in other words another tax ploy. who is to say the permit holder isn't a mental case? why pick on the poor who can't afford a permit. ))


Instead of looking for excuses, why not look for solution.  Excuses never solve anything...

question: What did the Colonist do too the British when they came for their guns?

I gave you a solution, mr saw:

If you libbies really want deep background checks, tie it to a national cwp!

Have you noticed every liberal "solution" involved abusing the law abiding while don't nothing to stop criminals committing crimes!

Why are the only "solutions" liberals have totalitarian in nature?
