I can see that I have stumbled in to the worship services of Our Merciful Mother of Smith and Wesson. Not one of you have ever had the occasion to use a gun in anger, unless you were in the military. Yet, you are going to protect yourself with them with them when General Paranoia takes over the military and attacks your house with an unmanned drone. All any one has to do is suggest some common sense laws to make it illegal to sell a firearm to a felon, crazy people, and people under a restraining order for threatening their adulterous wives, and instantly, you all scream "Blasphemy!", and "Slippery Slope". Frankly, I am surprised that you don't go into snit fits because convicts in prisons have had their constitutional rights stripped from them, and can not order a gun from a catalog.
When I patrol for SAV, I put my life on the line every time I get in to my uniform. Here in AZ, I am unarmed on duty, and surrounded by people open carrying at Safeway. Three months ago, there was a shooting in my neighborhood by a husband under a restraining order who was on the losing end of a love triangle. The wife lived, but just barely. I own weapons and you own weapons. I wear a 9 MM when I ride my bike into the desert. The difference between us is that I want to do something about keeping guns out of the hands of bad guys. You people are so busy watching for black helicopters that even baby steps toward a safer America is off your radar. I'm done with this thread.
One should never use a gun in anger.
And I haven't had the occasion to use my life insurance policy yet but that doesn't mean I shouldn't have it
And just how do you propose to keep guns out of the hands of criminals anyway?
We spend billions and waste the lives of hundreds if not thousands of people in the war on drugs and that hasn't reduced drug use one whit so what on earth makes you think we can rid criminals of their weapons?
We will never keep guns out of the hands of criminals so our only option is to get them off the streets for good by implementing mandatory life sentences with no parole for any and all crimes committed with a gun
Most LEGAL gun owners never shoot anyone. These people are fear mongering. Trying to make you more afraid of your legally armed neighbors than the criminals who actually DO shoot and kill people, torture them, steal from them, etc.
