Also, all your guns present a clear danger to everyone around you because criminals definitely do want to steal those guns and use them for other crimes! Posted by MyIDonCBS

But how can that be? The ONE who shall remain nameless has stated many times that the majority of criminals are unarmed. Why would a criminal that goes unarmed need to steal guns to use in other unarmed crimes? You gunbanning NUTZO''s make no sense at all!

This is so true. Plus the kids see guns as something glamorous from TV and the movies. So easy to solve a disagreement by just shooting someone....

+ report abuse


Not only from T.V. but also world leaders have a " I don''t like the way you think, so I will invade your country with some trumped up reason that makes sence to me. Kill you and all of your kind that disagree with my bypolar way of reasoning, and call it over when I say so. Thanks King George II for setting as good as an example as The Godfather series.

The answer to crime in the street is 38 ounces of cold steel in my hand spitting out 158 grains of jacketed hollow point at 1250 feet per second. Everything else is second best.

Here''s something different to think about...

A man calls 911 and says he shot 3 men. Maybe they are dead, but maybe they are severely wounded and still could be saved. A woman also turns out to be in the house.

The police come and surround the house for several hours--while the three victims may be bleeding to death. The story says that after the long stand off one of the men appeared to be alive...so maybe they all died during the stand off.

The police start lobbing tear gas, exchanging gun fire, almost certainly started the fire, and start bashing down the house walls. If those victims were alive, this certainly isn''t helping them. And what about the woman? They were endangering her life, and she is lucky the police didn''t kill her.

The police were having a field day playing cops and robbers with the gunman while for all they know 3 men were dying. Plus they were potentially going to kill a woman with their heavy handed antics.

Is this how civilized law enforcement should act? Think about it--they were more concerned with shooting it out than saving anyone''s lives--including, unfortunately, their own.

Sticks and stones can break bones, so let''s ban them!
It''s madness I tell you.

In the UK all guns were banned several years ago.
Since then violent crimes have gone UP and now all pocket knives are banned as well.
Criminals still have guns and knives and now criminals are even using fake guns and BB guns to commit crimes because they know all law-abiding citizens are defenseless.
Now the UK government is even trying to ban bb guns, toy guns, and swords!
It seems like it will never end until hands and feet become illegal!!!

Inner city and many suburban kids these days have been raised in the "gun-fear culture.

...kids see guns as something glamorous from TV and the movies. So easy to solve a disagreement by just shooting someone....

Agreed. I have an idea. Let''s get kids out from in front of TVs and computers and actually put them into situations where they learn to shoot in a respectful and safe way--the way kids used to be taught before the anti-gun extremists suffered their own trauma incidents. It worked then, and I''ll bet it would work now.

Concealed carry permitholders are some of the most peaceful, law-abiding people in the U.S.

Making guns illegal just encourages criminals to manufacture and distribute their own (it''s way too easy to do), and banning them, in all cases worldwide, has resulted in disasters for women, the elderly, and the frail. In the UK and AU, young thugs just use their hands and feet now to invade homes of the elderly.

Gun bans are short-sighted--terror will strike in the U.S. again, gangs do run rampant in the U.S., especially central American ones near large cities (MS-13, for example), and disarming law-abiding citizens is sheer insanity.

Excellent point. Inner city and many suburban kids these days have been raised in the "gun-fear culture." Most probably aren''''t aware of this, but anti-gun sentiment has been initially spread by people who suffered post-traumatic stress themselves, due to an incident involving guns, and they don''''t realize their fear is irrational, and they seek to spread mass hysteria--assisted by the media, who sell adrenaline rushes.
