Spoken like someone who's never even handled a gun.

It's really a black and white issue to me. It is a constitutional right to bear arms. In order to have that any where near changed, you have to go thru a series of things....not least of which is a VOTE. Right now, the minority wants to overrule AND just do away with a RIGHT AND they're using false propaganda to do it. That is not only wrong and illegal, but it's awful close to sounding like a communist state IMO.

Bottomline is that not a single person that is on the gun ban bandwagon can refute several points. Until they do, they will never win me over.

1. It is a RIGHT for someone to bear arms. Not a privilage, a RIGHT. There is a huge difference.
2. There are a gazillion studies done and tons of data collected by unbiased and recognized entities that show that the #1 thing CRIMINALS FEAR is an armed confrontation. Therefore, it makes no common sense at all to take away the #1 deterrent. CRIMINALS are the only ones that will benefit.
3. Laws are for Law ABIDERS, not CRIMINALS. CRIMINALS by defintion are criminals BECAUSE they BREAK, i.e. don't follow, don't listen, don't care, LAWS. What does a LAW do to criminals? Absolutely ZERO. It only restricts perfectly good citizens. WHY would anyone be FOR that? WHY?????

A gun is an inanimate object. Cigarretes and booze and cars kill more people than guns do each year. Why aren't we banning those things IF you are really interested in "saving lives"????? It's about trying to point the finger at something else that can easily be manipulated instead of finding real solutions to a problem. :jerkit:
