To all the gun haters out there....

[mountain muscle]

It is a most excellent victory. Hopefully Cali sees the light too. Yeah, who am I kidding?

amen. . .don't punish the law-abiding citizens, punish the criminals. . .

also, do you think a "ban" is going to have any effect on criminal activity?? puh-leez?! someone that robs convenience stores with a handgun, doesn't give two-shits about a gun ban. . .except that, now he doesn't have to worry about the law-abiding store owner having one to use to defend himself against the robber. . .shit. . .it's illegal to own a fucking elephant. . .you want a fucking elephant?? i guarantee i can have one shitting on you front lawn by the end of the month. with the internet, nothing is more than a mouse-click away.

all im saying is guns are illegal here. we dont have people walking into colleges and schools pumping round after round into innocent people. you do. until your laws are changed it will continue to happen. anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themself

i believe the us judicial system is a lot more effective than here in england, there people actually get lengthy sentences, rather than less than half the time that they deserve because our prisons are too full like they are here. its not your sentencing that is wrong, its the way that firearms are too easily obtained! the reason someone with a conceal/carry permit is not likely to commit an illegal shooting, is becasue they obviously have a very good reason to be carrying a firearm-work/private security etc.
i stand by my previous statement, you have not seen the last high school/college massacre, not by a long way, anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themself. somethign must be done to stop firearms, especially handguns, falling in to the hands of these people. until that happens, well, it only a matter of time until it happens again.

Not true at all. I'm not in any of those and I could go get a permit myself. People that have them understand that using that gun is a last resort action. If I have a permit to carry and I'm packing heat that doesn't mean that if I'm walking down the street and someone decides to pick a fight with me that I can pull it out and shoot them. Its called being a responsible owner/carrier.

I would have the right to shoot if they had pulled a gun on me and my life was in danger.

It is a right we must never lose.

agreed

 

[OMEGA]

agreed. . .a man (or woman) should have the right to protect themselves against would-be assailants. . .including their own government. . .

YES

very true

uh...yeah about 15 years ago. the ira are next to nothing these days.

yes, i accept that, what you need to accept is that something needs to be done to stop firearms, especially hanguns falling into the hands of 'not so responsible gun carriers' because until you do so, more people are going to think "fuck it" and walk round schools/colleges blowing innocent people away.

I'd much much much rather be defending myself with a .22 that's probably not going to kill anyone than some bigass rifle or shotgun.

In any case, you're comment is a little off...this ruling applies to one city's handgun ban. While we have schools in DC, if someone wanted to shoot up the place they could legally obtain one in VA or MD. I'm willing to bet this ruling will have zero effect on anything illegal. The people who wanted to carry for illegal reasons already did so.

babe, you shoot to kill, that's it. No ifs ands or buts about it, you pull that thing, someone better be taking a dirt nap.

 

[*The_West*]

im not saying that guns should be illegal! a home can easily be protected with a rifle.what im saying is that owning handguns should be outlawed, the only people who need handguns are law enforcement/private security etc. to allow hanguns to be sold to the general public is allowing easily concealed weapons to get into the wrong hands.

I wouldn't, which is why I don't own a gun even though I believe in gun rights. If somebody breaks into your house and all you have is a knife or a baseball bat....are you going to beat them to death with it or just put them down and call police? What's the difference?
