Did anyone complain to their representatives when they rushed a bill through to donate trillions of dollars to corporate fatcats and insolvent banks? Yeah, we did. For some strange reason, they didn't listen, or didn't care. You know what? Call your reps, sign your petitions, make your videos, get up on your soapboxes. You know what that will change? Nothing. Instead you will be the right-wing extremist on the list.
Someone might argue that it will take more than a platoon to come to their farm and take their weapons away.
Some might argue that guns are for cowards and we don't need them anyway.
Arguing is pointless. Action through 'appropriate' channels is futile.
I just called the NRA-ILA (Institute for Legislative Action) and they said its unlikely to pass. They think they have the votes to block it. The NRA Rocks.

sounds to me like a lot of you guys declaring your love for america, are wanting to start a war, with america! however will you cope without your firearms to go and shoot each other? or perhaps you want to go to another country and shoot some inoccent people?

There are some americans believe it or not, that do not have guns. Not because we don't know how to use them, or wouldn't if needed. You present the written attitude of someone that is perhaps not FROM this country. It's understandable that you would have a difficult time understanding our RIGHT to keep and bear arms. We have this little document that a bunch of hippies got together and wrote in this fancy handwriting. It's an attempt to keep us from blindly swallowing the BS of a tyrannical government. They had just overthrown the oppressive rule of some pompous dictator accross an ocean somewhere. They had to spill a little blood to make it happen. Because they had to go through that, they understood that someday we might have to go through that again and that we should all be prepared and vigilant, in case such a circumstance should arrise. American's are not 'obsessed' with guns. Americans are obsessed with FREEDOM. We are addicted to it, and the supply is running out. It's getting sort of dry around these parts. So we are starting to jones.
