and to clarify, since i always get called names and shit when gun topics come up, i was joking in my first post in this thread. since there seems to be a large percentage of pro-gun people in texas. but i know it's mostly the whole south. 
to your last statement. i'm not ig-nant. i just watched ted nugent on donny deutch flap about pro-weapons stuff. I listen to point and counterpoint, i look at both sides of the story and take it all in and guess what? from what i have found is that pro-gun people NEVER look at the other side of the story, they all think they are right by GOD and that "liberals will take my guns away! kill 'em all". and that's why you can't really talk about guns with gun people. see? no matter what i say, you'll skim over it and reply with, "you don't know about guns, you're an idiot".
I'm a democrat, not a liberal. there are alot of things i can find common ground on with repubs. bottom line: i think assault rifles and guns which can easily be converted to full auto should never see the light of a gun store.
i know people who kill others with guns are going to get those things anyway. i just think it shouldn't be possible to buy them. |
Ok, let's set this straight.
Before you can purchase a firearm FROM A GUN DEALER, pistol or rifle, you must fill a "yellow sheet" that contains all your information. The dealer will call your information and a mini background check will be performed. If you are a felon, you will be denied. But you wouldn't know because you've never bought one.
You can't just "fill out a permit" to carry a concealed handgun. You must pass a federal background check and also pass a shooting test. There are stipulation after stipulation about where you can carry the gun, which gun to carry, how to conceal it, etc., etc.. It's not just a form you fill out. But you wouldn't know because you haven't tried to get a Concealed Carry Permit.
I don't own firearms to "get off". I own firearms for hunting and personal protection. Are you telling me I can only own a gun that YOU SAY is ok?
I am from the South, and that means
Tex
as born and bred. I grew up huntin' and fishin'. I didn't worry too much about the people in the cities shooting and killing each other. I just mind my own business. I don't believe someone from the city is gonna come into my home and try to take what's mine without me fighting back.
I am not Ted Nugent. Ted Nugent does not represent me. You cannot take what he says and base your opionions on what he says.
The most dangerous thing about this is you're involved in a converstion about something you don't know much about. And on top of that, you want to act as if you do.
"i think assault rifles and guns which can easily be converted to full auto should never see the light of a gun store." You might have read about firearms but you don't understand much, if any of it.
"i just think it shouldn't be possible to buy them." Do you have any idea what it takes to purchase a fully automatic weapon? Do you know how much a registered sear for an M-16 goes for? Do you have ANY clue at all what you are saying? Can you name ONE weapon that can be converted to fully automatic easily? Name one weapon and describe how to convert it. I know you can't do it. But because someone, somewhere talked about it, it has to be possible. Right?
And no, I don't have to call you an idiot. You've already done a good job of that yourself.
