Re:Gun Laws
Way too close to home. I'm not as strongly involved as some others in possession. Fired expert in the military but skills not maintained are not skills at all. You know what they say about the Air Force weenies. They're right for 75% of 'em. That's my group. HOWEVER, all that being said, .............<br><br>~Dave
I agree with Top. I thought I was on the Handgun Control Inc. web site. 
The bad part is they REALLY believe that stuff.<br><br>Chris

Re:Gun Laws
Well I think that the author of the page I pointed to is not too serious a believer in gun control..
Actually I am not opposed to gun control. I think that it's a right to own them unless you have proven to be unreliable. I think that a person who is irresponsible enough to drive under influence of drugs or alcohol shouldn't be allowed to own a firearm. Or people with a criminal record. I think that it's ok that the state controls how you keep your guns so that they don't get into the wrong hands etc.
That's what I think should be called gun control- opposed to indisciminatingly banning guns.
I feel the soapbox swaying ;D

Re:Gun Laws
I like my guns. And if anyone thinks that I'm going to willingly give them up cause some egg head doesn't like them needs to be shot. :
Now, with that said, I'm a firm believer in gun control. But don't you dare start to tell me that guns are the root of all evil and without guns, there would be no crimes. That's plain stupid. You could destroy all the guns in the world and criminals would still find a way to get hold of them. Unfortunately, that's the way the world works.

Re:Gun Laws
The liberal/socialist mindset will always be to do with laws and force what they can't get done with persuasion - and it's easier to demonize an object, SUV, guns, etc., than it is to deal with the REAL root cause, a society that has become self-focused and lacking in self control and respect for others...
As a kid in the 40's and 50's, guns hung in racks at the back windows of pickups, and were stuck behind the doors of the homes as a tool for use against predators - 2 OR 4 legged... In spite of all that, pickup drivers never went for the iron if someone flipped them off or cut them off in traffic, and kids didn't run home for a gun if they got called names at school.
Have the GUNS changed - or have PEOPLE changed?
But liberals would rather take the quick and easy way out and simply pass a law - and after guns, they would have to outlaw knives, clubs, rocks and fists - sure seems it would make more sense to work on improving the quality of PEOPLE. rather than focuing on the tools they use to abuse others...
