Those dang guns!

Do I understand this correctly? That because 400 years ago people were able to kill other people without guns, that means we should just ignore the fact that the presence of guns makes it infinitely easier for people to kill more people, and at a far greater rate and with mass casualty effect?

If that is truly your claim, then the quality of argument in the forum has fallen to a level below that of kindergarten.

Nope, by fight I mean call your reps, tell people about the proposed legislation. So on and so forth.

Knowledge is power.

Btw, I was 19 in 1994. I was raised to respect and defend my rights, as they say, freedom is not free.

I never knew an Indian used a bow and tomahawk. That must take some serious training.
I always thought they used bow and arrows.


sorry Carl. I couldn't help myself. It was just to easy.

You trying to say you've never seen an Indian use a bow to shoot a tomahawk?

Me either.... I could have used better phrasing.....they weren't scared to shank a man either

I'm sorry, but when did anyone ever have their gun taken away from them?

Grandfather clause, people. Jesus Christ. Read up on the first ban. No one is confiscating your weapons.

I don't think they will either but no need to ban new sales.

I am sure the residents of the UK and Australia never thought it would happen there either. I realize we have the 2nd amendment but we all know what some think about about that outdated(in their eyes) document.

Went to the gun show today in Knoxvegas. While I was standing in line to get in (a line that went down the sidewalk, down the stairs and almost to the end of the block) some dude yelled out "Hey, welcome the white male terrorist convention!". It was pretty funny. 'Cause I'm a white male and all. Anyway, POS AK going for $800.00. AR's going for a minimum of $1,500.00. But I didn't see one for that - all I saw were over 2k. Also, my buddy told me that Coal Creek Armory had a russian AK for $1200. Promptly bought two 20 rd mags, went for a stroll around (reminded me of Bourbon Street), came back 20 mins later and 20rd and 30 rd mags GONE.

Oh good a thread to talk about gun control. This forum was sorely lacking one.

I don't think that can be stressed enough. Just like "the healthcare bill won't pass," or "the Supreme Court will find the healthcare bill unconstitutional." There is probably a darn good chance this will end up passing in some form that is not for the good of the American people.

In 1994, Congress was overwhelmingly populated by Democrats.

In 2010, Congress was overwhelmingly populated by Democrats.

In 2013, the GOP will continue to control the House. It is unlikely that any assault weapons ban will pass this House in 2013; it is possible that if the issue is still one that is highly publicized in 2014, that a compromised ban will pass due to midterm elections. I, however, think that the major issue in 2014 will be the effects of the ACA and the further decline into fiscal insolvency.
