    Dude is a racist asshole who deserves the chair.

    Sure. But every time one of these things happens, I ask - why the fuck can't we regulate firearms in this country?

    I don't like living in a world where you need to pack heat at bible study


    If they would've had a sign out front that specifically said "No Firearms Allowed." This never would've happened. Because you know......criminals follow the law

    Speaking of...built my AR lower yesterday. Halfway done.
    By that logic, we should have no laws since criminals just ignore them...
    That is the libertarian logic on booze, drugs, and sex workers. Making a desired good illegal only increases the cost and the criminal activity around it. I mean prohibition worked great!

    So our crack and meth dealers can run guns too and continue to kill each other at an alarming rate. you do realize most gun deaths are due to the idiotic idea of making drugs a street industry.

    Logic can be your friend. Less laws are exactly what we need

    The people arguing for guns always remind me of religious people. It's funny how all arguments sound the same when you've made up your mind first and come up with the argument second.

    Just admit you love guns and that's all that matters.

    I like guns just fine. Use them to shoot deer every season since I was a boy with both Dads in a blind. But, this has much less to do with "loving" guns, and much more to do with believing in liberty, and the governments desire to restrict my ability to protect myself from that same government.

    It always amuses me that when you tell people (liberals mostly) you want guns to potentially defend yourself from jack booted government thugs, they look at you like you have two heads and are some kind of crazy domestic terrorist. Um, that is precisely what most of the guys on those bills we don't use anymore did. The redcoats were the ATF/FBI/whatever of their day. When what we now call patriots took up arms against them, because of a fundamental belief in liberty and self governance, they were committing domestic terrorism. Thank God they got to that arsenal in Lexington before the redcoats, or the revolution would have been over before it started. The limeys realized, correctly, they better steal the weapons first. The patriots realized, correctly, the only way to defend yourself in any meaningful way was to have them.

    Do I think any of this happens in my lifetime? No, at least I certainly hope not. But, I believe in gun rights because I have no idea what might happen in a hundred years, and I want your great grandkids and any of my illegitimate grandkids to at least have to means to defend themselves and liberty from an overzealous government, or a common intruder, or a fucking Skynet activated robot army. Also, venison tastes good and everyone should shoot a deer and figure this out at least once in their life.
    While this sounds nice, the Revolution wasn't won because we got to the guns at Lexington or Ticonderoga (sure it helped). It was won because of the Atlantic Ocean, time, attrition, the sagging economy of a war weary England, and the French.

    But if you want to oversimplify a major historical event into a single issue, that's your right!
    I'm a little disappointed that a fellow VC who spent time with me in the jungles of Cuba before we stormed the casinos would so easily down play even small weapons in the hands of anti government forces.

    Like the US in VietNam, the paper cuts added up to enough death to make the government back across the ocean say fuck it

    We don't win the revolution without guns
    The VC didn't win Vietnam with their small arms.

    I think booze, drugs, and sex workers should all be legal and regulated. Just like guns.

    Regulation =/= Prohibition

    And yet only guns are, hence my point that you ignored. 9 dead Blacks is a very slow Saturday in Chicago.

    Yet guns are heavily regulated. Let's address reality not political point making

    They are known for having small arms. They are a small people to begin with.

    The US crushed the NVA every time they met. Conventional battle went as well for the slopes as it did for the US rebels.

    The VC used small arms and terror tactics to kill the will to fight. Too many US casualties for too little to gain

    Um, no. I don't think that guns are heavily regulated at all.

    Guess how many firearm deaths there were in Honolulu last year?

    The O/U is 5

    The VC still had their small arms when their northern "brothers" took over and "re-educated" all of them.

    A whole lotta good their small arms did then.

    We done here, or you want to keep going?

    I'm glad that nobody so far except Blackie thinks that people have the right to own anti aircraft weapons... as a flying boat owner... I don't want to have to worry about crazies shooting me down in a fit of rage.

    So you want a national ban on guns

    #Blackieisright

    These street gangs are getting their guns from Indiana? Along with gay wedding cakes?

    Heavily regulated areas have high homicide rates.

    Again - unless you want to be honest about what you want you're just playing to the low info voter. (hi Hondo!)

    Of course I think - that's why I said it and you now agree. The VC weren't re educated. You're pressing now.

    Yes they were. The VC were nationalists, not communists. The commies from Hanoi came in and took over after we left. They didn't compromise or share.

    You're wheelhouse is out of a book. While I wasn't there (really?) it was current events. The VC were nationalists. How cute.

    So was Ho. A nationalist commie.

    Was is true in both Cuba and VN is that the new boss was well aware of the danger of individual gun ownership. Hence the disarming of the citizens.

    Just like you commies want to do here!!!1111!!!!

    I'm a little disappointed that a fellow VC who spent time with me in the jungles of Cuba before we stormed the casinos would so easily down play even small weapons in the hands of anti government forces.

    Like the US in VietNam, the paper cuts added up to enough death to make the government back across the ocean say fuck it

    We don't win the revolution without guns
    The VC didn't win Vietnam with their small arms.

    HTH
    They are known for having small arms. They are a small people to begin with.

    The US crushed the NVA every time they met. Conventional battle went as well for the slopes as it did for the US rebels.

    The VC used small arms and terror tactics to kill the will to fight. Too many US casualties for too little to gain
    Ya think?

    The VC still had their small arms when their northern "brothers" took over and "re-educated" all of them.

    A whole lotta good their small arms did then.

    We done here, or you want to keep going?
    Of course I think - that's why I said it and you now agree. The VC weren't re educated. You're pressing now.

    Remember, I was there


































    #FakeWarriors
    Yes they were. The VC were nationalists, not communists. The commies from Hanoi came in and took over after we left. They didn't compromise or share.

    You're losing yourself in my wheelhouse.

    Step away.
    You're wheelhouse is out of a book. While I wasn't there (really?) it was current events. The VC were nationalists. How cute.

    So was Ho. A nationalist commie.

    Was is true in both Cuba and VN is that the new boss was well aware of the danger of individual gun ownership. Hence the disarming of the citizens.

    Just like you commies want to do here!!!1111!!!!
    My books>>>>>your drum circles.

    BTW, I never said I was against guns. I'm not. But you guys are abusing historical examples to support your position.

    I will not abide that, dude.

    Swapping out black and messicans for orientals......that's not fair. I hear the orientals prefer nunchucks and swords, which is cheating, as there is no impact on gun violence.

    Guns aren't hard to get. Pretty much anyone without a criminal background can go buy one. A buddy of mine at the time got a Mosberg shotgun right after he turned 18. There are plenty of psycho's that don't have criminal records barring them from getting guns in their late teens and early 20's. Criminals can buy them at private trade shows in 40 states with no required background checks. You gun nuts must enjoy having your head in the sand.

    I enjoy shooting guns. When I was in college, we would go up in the mountains and set up empty liquor bottles to shoot. AR-15's, AK47's, 1911's. Shooting shit is fun. But the gun laws in this country are not working.

    The people arguing for guns always remind me of religious people. It's funny how all arguments sound the same when you've made up your mind first and come up with the argument second.

    Just admit you love guns and that's all that matters.

    I'm all for a more comprehensive records check in firearm sales. However the gaping hole that exists there is HIIPA privacy laws. You can't access history of mental illness with a pre-sale records check. If you're a felon you won't get a firearm legally. It's been that way since way before Puppy was goin all discipline hole even. But you can't check med records including history of mental illness with a records check. It's the nutjobs that are doin this shit. At least the big ones. And the HIIPA laws aren't going anywhere.

    Background checks seem like a logical answer to helping to keep firearms out of the wrong peoples hand. But given the above and the black market. Crazy mutha fuckahs will get their hands on a piece if they really want one.

    I like guns just fine. Use them to shoot deer every season since I was a boy with both Dads in a blind. But, this has much less to do with "loving" guns, and much more to do with believing in liberty, and the governments desire to restrict my ability to protect myself from that same government.

    It always amuses me that when you tell people (liberals mostly) you want guns to potentially defend yourself from jack booted government thugs, they look at you like you have two heads and are some kind of crazy domestic terrorist. Um, that is precisely what most of the guys on those bills we don't use anymore did. The redcoats were the ATF/FBI/whatever of their day. When what we now call patriots took up arms against them, because of a fundamental belief in liberty and self governance, they were committing domestic terrorism. Thank God they got to that arsenal in Lexington before the redcoats, or the revolution would have been over before it started. The limeys realized, correctly, they better steal the weapons first. The patriots realized, correctly, the only way to defend yourself in any meaningful way was to have them.

    Do I think any of this happens in my lifetime? No, at least I certainly hope not. But, I believe in gun rights because I have no idea what might happen in a hundred years, and I want your great grandkids and any of my illegitimate grandkids to at least have to means to defend themselves and liberty from an overzealous government, or a common intruder, or a fucking Skynet activated robot army. Also, venison tastes good and everyone should shoot a deer and figure this out at least once in their life.
    While this sounds nice, the Revolution wasn't won because we got to the guns at Lexington or Ticonderoga (sure it helped). It was won because of the Atlantic Ocean, time, attrition, the sagging economy of a war weary England, and the French.

    What's not working?

    Crimes involving firearms make up 8% of all violent incidents (Bureau of Justice).

    We have a scenario where a fucking crazy shoots up 9 innocent people, can you say the knife laws of China aren't working because some crazy sliced up a crowd?

    Here's another stat:

    11,000 people were murdered by a gun last year. If we cut the American population to represent just the adult population (approximately 15,000,000)... you have a .0008% chance of the gun laws failing you.

    Wanting to rewrite the gun laws over the media hyperbole ... is like wanting to rewrite the health care laws because 10% of American's are not covered.

    The facts don't back up anyone's anti-gun argument.

    This entire thread is about emotion.

    It's right where Obama want's us to be ... arguing irrationally on emotion.

    It's a solid post but I'd stay away from that healthcare argument. I can think of a group that's just over 10% of the population that's had a lot of laws rewritten for them.
