Talk to me when you have had to face down a group of coyote/timberwolf hybrids that are attacking your lifestock or kids, and tell me again assault rifles have no use other than hunting humans, and that high capacity mags are not needed.
Not to mention bears. And those bobcats, they are frikken fast.edit on Fri, 18 Jan 2013 16:36:59 -0600 by TKDRL because: (no reason given)
All it took was one shot to take off the.. well you get the picture, of the guy that tried to ......
You don't need an assault rifle if you are a good enough shot. Our ancestors got by fine without them, we can too. I've never needed more than one shot, and as long as you make it count, that's all that matters. fast or not..
Yes I'm not anti-gun, in case you were wondering...
I can see it now: "I brought you into this relationship and I can take you right out." Wow! It feels good to be a woman!

I've said it before and I have to say it here. What ever weapon a man can be made to carry and die with in war.
He has a right to own in peace. A real man has a right to have the very best he can choose. When it comes to protecting this.

Apparently you totally misunderstood. There would be no "opting out", it would be a requirement...........
Same as there is no "opting out" of a ban.........
Following me now?edit on Fri, 18 Jan 2013 18:04:18 -0600 by TKDRL because: (no reason given)
Apparently, you're not following. That's the entire reason for the formation of a police force. They protect and serve the public. The people that complain about them the most are pretty much the people they are protecting the public from.

Wait a minute .... No .... nope sorry.
They protect and serve the public ?
In what world ? Their contracts don't say anything like that. you actually believe that because ' to protect and serve " is written on the side of their car !
apparently you are one of the people they are protecting against... oh well
why YES, it certainly does when a fire is present.
Free speech is also a right, but that doesn't mean you can yell "FIRE" in crowds

Did he say that? He just said he doesnt want lunatics to have a gun. IF you arent a lunatic, and pas a background test, then by all means, arm up.
Well see the problem with that is, who the hell is going to define the word Lunatic?
Obama?
Pharmaceutical Reps?
Psychologists on a fancy new federal budget they need to justify?
Your neighbor?
Your doctor?
Some vague clause in an exectuive order?
Rush Limbaugh?
Different debate entirely and one that would need to be had. Im asking for that debate and some kind of compromise. Not free reign ,everyone gets a gun, and not abolish the second amendment.
I would see it as, mental health would only be an issue for a gun purchase if there were some kind of red flags in your history. Other wise its just not realistic to give everyone a MMPI to buy a gun
I don't understand why we NOW need medical/psychiatric checks to buy guns?

No, I don't think the government is God, where in the world would you get that?
No, it's not a right given to us by nature itself or we would be born with it. It's a right given by the government, period. You have no "god-given rights" to anything other than death and the opportunity for salvation if you seek it. Everything else is granted or not granted by your government. You may not like it, but that's the way it is.
U.S. citizens own 270 million of the world's 875 million known firearms, according to the Small Arms Survey 2007 by the Geneva-based Graduate Institute of International Studies.
