Well said.

It's all well and fine to talk of utopian goals of a peaceful society. I'd love it if we ever got there but in the meantime, this country is anything but and...

A homeowner not only has the right but the duty to protect his home and everyone and everything in it.

And sadly in today's sorry economy, that might even include protecting it from your own bank :(

Some of the responses in here have put visions of americans jacked up on energy drinks sitting around all night with a shotgun in their lap fearing that someone is going to break in to their house. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

A couple of posts up you were expounding on what the 2nd Admendment is about...revolution...but I of course knew that you do not have the balls to be involved in a revolution. Good luck with your impressive...activism. BTW...free health care is really not an issue for me...one way or another...as I can afford not to have free health care...but as for guns...I will not give up my guns...period.

and while were at it, lets stop hate and greed. oh and cars they cause much more death and mayhem than guns.

We can't get rid of guns, and if most of us did , it would be only the bad guys who have guns. Same reason we have nukes.

Good point. I have always said that guns for the most part will never be confiscated. "Divide and conquer" has been used against the American population. So in the 60's the immigration policies were turned on their heads and with the addition over 10 million illegals in this country now the Americans are not able to mount a united front. The guns people are holding onto will run out of ammo after the first race wars after the food supply is cut off and the goverment will not have to give a damn who has a gun or not. :2 cents: Mexicans and black kids are already getting into riots at schools here in southern California. You might now know about this because Wolf Blitzer and his buddies do not have anything to gain at this point to drive this type of info in to your pysche every night. Right now they are busy demonizing the Iranians so that the average flag waving, troop supporting, clueless, fat, and dumb American accepts wiping out their civilization. The planned Iranian invasion is the real reason for Obama sending tens of thousands of extra troops to Afghanistan.

Look what "they" are doing in Iraq! Do you REALLY FUCKING THINK that muslims are blowing up other muslim children? This is the work of the invaders using divide an conquer on the population. If China invaded Salt Lake City do you think the Mormons would start blowing up Baptist children in Atlanta? "They" want the average brain dead TV watching American to think all Muslim people are monsters and it has worked. I have had the benefit of traveling throughout Israel, Jordan, and Egypt and I can tell you that Muslims are among the most honorable people in all of the world.

Not that I give a flying fuck about any of this but it is interesting to predict world events and then sit back and watch them unfold as the brain dead masses act as if they are surprised. If people want to be passive while their leaders take away their freedoms then I have ZERO sympathy for them when the hammer falls as they deserve whatever is being planned for them.

I've never been afraid to leave my house. On Labor Day a man was stabbed to death right outside my bedroom window.

I'm hard like that.

Everyone in the USA should be issued guns.

Guns are the real WMD.

Yup, education is really the key....
I grew up in an area where pretty much 99% of the population owned a gun and guess how much gun violence there was? none. The gun ownership population was educated on how to properly use a gun.

The government should be afraid of their people, not the people afraid of the government.

fiddy gun nuts.

I personally can't stand guns unless I'm the one firing them. :upsidedow

I'm very much in favor of what you say. If we mandated training for all the things you mentioned for gun owners I'd feel a whole lot better about the whole thing. A lot of guns police find on criminals were stolen from "law abiding" gun owners. If they knew how to properly store their weapons in something like a bolted down gun safe it would go a long way.

here in the uk, a lot of guns are illegal, and those that aren't are strictly contolled. anyone who's found with a gun gets an instant minimum 5 years inside.

when someone breaks in to your house in the UK, 99.5% of the time they're aren't armed with a gun, because they no the occupier isn't. i keep a baseball bat under the bed, which is perfectly adequate.

I'm not even going to read past the title. Fuck off, if you don't want us to have guns then you can come here and try to take them from me, bitch. :)

That is exactly what the founders of this country had in mind !

It is indeed nothing short of obscene how far we the American people have let our government move away from that sound foundation.

Fiddy rednecks.

I always love these retarded proclamations (which are almost invariably leveled at Americans). "Get rid of guns, amirite guise!?"

Sorry, I don't think so. It's a laughably fallacious assumption that outlawing guns outright will make criminals comply with anti-gun laws and deter crime. You know what deters crime? An alert and armed citizenry that's taught and trained to safely and effectively use firearms. You don't rob or rape when you know that the intended victim will put at least five pieces of screaming metal death into your chest.

As for the second amendment, it still is quite valid and not outmoded as many of you wingnuts like to argue. The powerful reasoning that our founding fathers employed in writing the original amendments is intended to protect the citizenry from an overbearing and unjust government, and even if we don't have one now (arguable for some), there's no guarantee that we'll never have one again.

Actually, wait, there is: the Constitution, including the second amendment.

Let's get rid of all the guns in the US. Then criminals can illegally smuggle them in like they already do with drugs and won't have to worry about any vigilantes getting in their way.

Oh right, knives can be used as weapons. Let's get rid of all the knives in the US too. All the blunt objects...what else? Hey, Joe Pesci stabs a guy with a pen in Casino, let's get rid of all pens and pencils. Oh, and that guy recently killed his wife accidentally when throwing a TV remote at her, clocking her in the head and killing her, so damn...no more TV remotes either.

All the criminals will illegally smuggle them in anyways though. If we get rid of all the guns, we rely 100% on our inept police force to protect us, and that's if they feel like protecting us because lord knows what happens if you catch one of them on a bad day.

The sad truth is I HATE guns and ANY weapons and really wish people would all collectively agree to fucking get along for the benefit of ALL of us. But it will never happen because people want money, power, etc. and some people are willing to threaten, injure and kill others to get it.

If you don't want to own a gun, so be it. I like shooting things, So bite me.

sounds like the real problem is not that americans have guns, but that there are so many rapists and murderers roaming around the country that everyone needs a gun to protect themselves. scary concept.

god bless america, land of the free and home of the brave !!!
