DON'T FEED THE TROLL
It seems that Strawboss is not capable of having an intelligent conversation. He would rather anyone who does not share his particular view be silenced. I thought this was a democratic country.
Bart, it seems as though your just as firm in your views of what you think would be best ... after all you've voiced them a number of times.
I think most of us on this forum believe that less restrictions getting legal guns into the hands of law abiding citizens would be a better idea.
And less restrictions on what kind of guns law abiding citizens could own would be a better idea.
And less restrictions on where us law abiding citizens could carry our legal guns would be a better idea.
I as a Watchdog Dad, or Sheepdog or whatever we would like to be known as, would like to have MORE ability to protect the innocent's of the world in a way that WILL save lives.
And I don't think anyone here said "Americans just like to kill" (except you) what most of us are saying is we would like to be able to protect people.

As I said, I'm not sure what the solution is and I don't want to give up my rifles but I'm petty sure more guns will not quell the violence. We ban some weapons like RPGs, machine guns and silencers. Why not assault rifles and armor piercing ammo? As we look around the 1st world, we can see what works and the big difference is controls on the type of guns available to the general public and how they can be used, stored and transported.
In May of 1986 Reagan signed a bill into law that prohibited the registration of new machine guns for civilian use. I guess Reagan was a lib nut job.
When the second amendment was adopted on December 15, 1791, I doubt the carnage of today was envisioned. Maybe we should ban all weapons that were not around in 1791. It would take a long time to reload.

When the 2nd was written the firearms held by the military and citizens were the same. They didn't envision a government with guns and a civilian populace with torches and pitchforks.
Maybe not, but they did envision a tyrannical government coming into power and now that government wants to disarm us.
- thats true.Yes. Society has gotten worse and weapons have gotten better.
- but its also true that much has changed (both in terms of weaponry and society too) since then.

To no one in particular..... We want to keep this in the Open area so let's be civil in the discussions. Thanks.

I agree. I am getting tired of people wondering why citizens need to have automatic weapons and large capacity clips to go hunting. Owning weapons is not just about hunting or personal protection. We have the right to bear arms. We should be able to form a civilian militia when needed, yet no one wants to say this to the press.
