EDIT: sorry I had to delete a direct member bash. Don't want any animosity, we just have well, completly different views on our nation and it's people. That's what makes America such a great place.

I for one know that guns are not a good thing. You people that think otherwise, well god help us all.
Regardless of whether you think guns are good or bad, we are FREE to have them. And THAT along with freedom of speech is what makes this such a great country.

As a democrat I have to say that we should indeed stop fighting the issue of gun control. It is impossible to win and I know that. Also I think it hurts our chances in elections because there are a lot of people that vote only on one issue, which in many cases in a candidates stance on gun control. Yes you are free to have guns and just ike you said I am free to protest the issue.

Ahhh, ignorance is bliss.

So, lets ban all guns because they are bad, mmmmm-kay! (Ask England what has happened to the crime rate)

Now, the only people with guns are the criminals. Not good. Lets say we live in a fairy tale world and all guns are gone. Crap, now people are committing robberies with knives!

Well, we can't have that! Ok, no more knives. Steaks become a real challenge to eat, so they are basically outlawed too. Now the big guys start beating up all the little democrats. We can't have that! So we ship all the big guys off and let the democrats have California.

Hmmmm....the outcome doesn't sound so bad after all! :bounce:

Personally I would stand a much better chance in a fight with someone that had a knife over someone with a gun.

I don't know maybe your bullet proof.

THIS is what sounds stupid to me:

why would someone carry a fully auto weapon as protection? that sounds highly rediculous.* you have to admit.

also, i think that any of you who would buy one of these previously banned guns probably don't live in an area where you honestly need them. so, why exactly do you want one? is there something you can achieve (as in shooting targets) with an auto that you couldn't with a regular or semi auto gun?
This is the problem with misinformation.

1) No one is carrying full auto weapons as they are illegal and the legal full autos are extremely expensive and you need to apply for a full auto tax stamp which has a $200.00 application fee, can take 7-12 months to get approved (which 99.9% of people will not), and are very hard to come by.

2) Assault Rifles were NEVER banned, I repeat NEVER banned. You could have walked into any gun store and purchase a BRAND NEW AR-15 or AK-47 anytime before this ban expired as long as they have a certain amount of american made parts. The ban was for certain parts as someone already pointed out.
The ban made it so you could only have two options on your rifle out of

pistol grip
high cap mag
folding stock
bayonet lug
threaded barrel/flash supressor

You could have a protruding pistol grip and a threaded barrel, or a flash supressor and a high capacity magazine, pistol grip and a side folding stock, yadda yadda yadda

Or as most of them came, a pistol grip and a high cap mag



I am greatfull for everyones input on this topic but if you want more info or to actually know what the gun laws you are protesting about require,visit

For these people, buying something big makes up for something small ;)

You fucking people don't realize, criminals will ALWAYS have guns, why can't law abiding citizens?
When provoked, "law abiding citizens" might have the urge to use the gun in another way other than self defense. Some people have very short fuses and that doesn't mean they cant carry a weapon around legally. Say they just got in a really big arguement, that person might use it. People regret things they do and not every move can be taken back. More guns on the street or in circulation, means more guns in the wrong hands. Many people that got the stupid permit to carry don't even need it. It just makes them feel more like a man.
