My right to bear arms is under fire right now.

OK, so it goes in the give up pile and we all rely on hope.

I think we should consider closing the gunshow loophole and ban assault weapons, but of course these meausres would not be acceptable to most gun zealots. You know back in the day gunshows were like reptile shows, private folks brought a few guns/animals to a show and made some quick sales. You go to a show nowdays and it's not uncommon to see a single table with 500+ weapons and people walking out with a box full of guns.
 
What good would come from banning "assault weapons?" If you are wanting to stop crime at all, you will see that ALL rifles account for the tiniest percentage of murders. It's simply a "feel good" measure that will not impact crime or safety one iota.
And scroll down to the chart from 2007, after the last AWB expired and CCW exploded. Not that you will care: http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/uc...-in-the-u.s.-2011/violent-crime/violent-crime

For one thing it would limit the amount of damage that one crazy gunman could do.
Do you think you and your 9mm has a chance against someone with an assault rifle. Those of you favoring vigilante justice should be in favor as it evens the playing field for you. I know for you it's probably either all or nothing. If people want to walk around with weapons of war well that's what the constitution guarantees.
 
As a veteran who has served in battle, and taken lives. I have come away with PTSD. It is traumatic to be in a situation like that. Unfortunately, that is what our government seems to hope from its troops, so it can demonize us, and make us all look like psychopaths. I am more aware of my surroundings. I refuse to carry a gun or knife on my person, because I suffer from anxiety and flashbacks. I no longer drink to get drunk, just because I do not want to have a flash back and hurt someone with my stupid drunk strength.

But, our government wants to continue to take away my rights to own a gun, because of my mental condition. A condition that was created in a war that they sent me to. Myself, and my brothers and sisters, fought for the right to come home and live our lives the way we see fit. But, when we get back, we are told we are unfit to do so, because of what we experienced in war.

Luckily there is at least one man who is making sense with stating that a judge should be the one who chooses. Not the VA.


And this is all from Air Force EOD?? Sorry if im not percieving this 100% since when do we get open like this with civilians?
Something just seems off.
Didnt know anyone to ever incorporate woman along with the 'sacrifice' spheal.
You sound like a grunt who has been on a few bad deployments.

If you are not BS'ing then i gotta say that we signed a contract...several of them. Infact a few days worth of signing.

If you are deemed unfit, that sucks. I feel for you on that but it is what it is.
I dont want you owning a gun if you can't deal with yourself and if the VA told me the same then oh well.
How would it bug you if you dont carry anyways?

No, it really wouldn't. As I have explained. Several times. Anyone who is familiar with these things knows this. They look cool and are fun to shoot. A standard .223/5.56 cal AR is a kitten compared to what everyone hunts deer with.

WOW, I'm done. A kitten aye? Well apparently a .223 is plenty big enough to kill 20 children and 6 adults, all of which were shot between 2 to 10 times.
 
According to where the weapons were found, it sure looks otherwise: http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Spike_s_Tactical_Lower_Multi_Forged_Bullet_p/sp-stls012.htm

I'll admit I am not following this story too closely. My life is too busy atm and it's depressing as hell. If his only weapon was an AR, that wouldn't change my thoughts on allowing civilian ownership, though. I feel no differently about this than rushing into war, signing Patriot Act, and installing TSA at every airport after 9-11. When people's emotions are up, decisions are so easily made that solve nothing.
 
Whoa! I just got a strange email from a sender I do not know. This might explain it all!

The primary-school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, approximately 45 miles from the Colt Arms Factory, is just another one in the long line of government psyops designed to persuade the public to allow the government to take away their guns, and their means to defend themselves against the government and the banksters that the politicians really serve.

The small children murders are designed to create hysterical emotions in women to get them to demand that guns are banned. If that doesn’t work they will continue with their evil agenda with worse and worse atrocities on younger children, until they get their way and disarm the people, so that they cannot fight back against government tyranny.

Newtown is the U.S.A.’s Dunblane, which was orchestrated in Scotland in 1996 by the British establishment, to whip up hysteria in order to ban all handguns from the U.K. It was a follow-up to the Hungerford Massacre in England in 1987, which was carried out by mind-controlled Michael Ryan, who then shot himself so he could not be questioned, and it was used to ban semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.

It’s always the same people behind it – the gun-grabbers who want the people to be defenceless against the gun-grabbers’ employers – the banksters who own all of the politicians. They get their politicians to pass legislation for them, in order to remove the people’s freedoms and means of defending themselves, and enslave them in a draconian police-state, under a mountain of debt, and then exterminate the useless-eaters.

The Dunblane massacre was supposedly carried out by Thomas Hamilton, who was a paedophile and procurer of children, for a high level paedophile ring involving senior members of the Tony Blair Labour-Party shadow-cabinet and others. The massacre served two purposes, it achieved their desired handgun-ban and killed the abused children, so they could not be witnesses against the elite-paedophiles. They then had the findings of the inquiry sealed for 100 years, which is proof of the above.

Like Newtown there were two shooters, Hamilton and a hit-man who shot Hamilton and made it look like Hamilton committed suicide after shooting 16 children, so that he couldn’t be questioned. Hamilton was found in the school gymnasium slumped against a wall and still gurgling, when an off-duty policeman PC Grant McCutcheon entered the gym and saw two semi-automatic pistols, one on either side of Hamilton’s body.

The autopsy revealed that Hamilton was killed with a .38 revolver. These people always slip-up with their crimes. There was no .38 revolver for him to have shot himself with. Thus, there was a second shooter who killed Hamilton.

Similarly, the first reports from Newtown were of two shooters, just like mind-controlled James Holmes in the Denver Batman Cinema massacre, the story then quickly changes to just one.

Columbine was similar, in that a team of shooters in black outfits were seen there and the two accused were on mind-altering prescription-drugs.

Wake up and see the pattern and their modus operandi and don’t fall for it. Never let them take your guns, except from your cold dead hands.

All of these are staged events to whip-up hysterical public support for banning the people from having guns. It works the same in every country – Hungerford in England, Dunblane in Scotland, Port Arthur in Australia and the list in America is endless, because of the Second Amendment and the people having a pro-gun culture. That makes it much more difficult to break the Americans’ love of guns and the Second Amendment, which was put in place to protect the people from the government.

Gun bans work well for tyrants. They worked well for Hitler, Stalin and Chairman Mao, to name just three.

If you want to stop these massacres, wake-up and get rid of the banksters, their puppet-politicians and all gun-grabbers; arm teachers and ban gun-free zones.

From one who can see the pattern and hopes to enable you to see it too.
 
Chip I'd like to invite you to a paint ball outting (all in good fun).

You can use a standard deer rifle (bolt or level action with large diameter paint balls). I'll use a semi-automatic weapon with smaller paint balls but a 30 round clip. I bet I win 8 out of 10 matches.
 
Yeah, some nuts think Obama is behind it all. They think he nabbed this guy, implanted a chip in his brain and remote controlled him like some sort of weaponized drone. All so they could have a public outcry in favor of gun control.

Hmm, so you're wanting to ban semi-autos too now? :shrugs: Very tricky, sir.
 
Since when are deer rifles all lever or bolt action? This isn't 1900. And you aren't trying to "give me an opportunity" to do anything. I'm not going to Wisconsin to play against some stranger with toy guns. You are trying to win an argument, desperately. Bottom line is, "assault" rifles aren't a statistically important part of murders in the US, darn pesky facts.
 
The Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 made possession or transfer of cannabis illegal throughout the United States under federal law, excluding medical and industrial applications.

I'm sure making assault weapons illegal would make them disappear forever as well. . .
 
20 little kids were killed on Friday. Have you seen their photos? How many deaths do you require for it to be statistically important for you? WOW, forget about having fun with a cool looking weapon and think about a little kid shot to pieces.
