Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people and injured over 800 without ever firing a shot. Guns played no part in his attack. Simple Ammonia Nitrate Fertilizer and Diesel Fuel.

So by most politicians logic, we should ban ALL fertilizers, because they serve no purpose other than bomb making.

Doesn't make much sense when you think of it, does it?

A. Someone is able to get a call out to 911 and hopefully the Police get there before he kills twenty people, since there are no armed citizens, or:

B. The possibility of an armed, law abiding citizen that could be able to act quickly and dispatch the threat, perhaps saving those twenty lives?

And yes, drunk driving is against the law, so is using a firearm in the commission of a felony, but that doesn't seem to bother people who are intent on breaking the law. What good would more laws do, if criminals don't follow the ones in place already?

There are quite a few people against normal hand guns and hunting stuff, Obama, Holder, Clinton and Pelosi, just to name a few.

If you don't believe me, read the multiple threads about the proposed "assault" weapons ban. Since you admittedly don't know a lot about guns, if there is any part of the proposal you don't understand, I am sure there are plenty of people here who would happily help you to understand the difference between reality and the political ignorance that is running rampant in the language of this bill.

How they hell can you tell me that the founding fathers had any idea that these types of guns would be invented in the future?

The bigger question that needs to be understood here is what was the framers intent with the 2nd amendment? Once you understand that you will have a better grasp of why the desire to take away this right is crucial to the gun grabbers.

Simple enough.
The line is the AUTOMATIC WEAPON. Being able to pull and hold the trigger down. This is a MACHINE GUN if you will. A average joe and for the most part 99.5% of American's can't own or even think about purchasing this type of gun.

A Semi-Automatic weapon is allowable as the law stands, it is a gun you pull the trigger and it fires until you spend all the ammo. It won't just continue to fire, you must pull the trigger. In most cases this is 80% of the handguns and shotguns on the market excluding single shots. (even a double barrel shotgun is "Semi-Automatic".

The problem is the criminal element. They will get whatever weapon they want from whatever means they need. No matter of gun laws.
So say we ban all weapons, the only people hurt by this are hunters and legal gun owners and you have criminals with weapons running about.

There is plenty of history to speak of liberal fear mongering about gun ownership, just google it and see.

I know many on this board are CCW (Carry Concealed Weapon). I know in my state over 1/4 of the population is a CCW. Ya, think about it. There is a pretty good chance the state you are in also has a higher number. Some states like Texas, Kentucky and Indiana have pretty liberal gun laws (life permits or no permit required) and many people there just carry. And you never know it and never hear about it.
I have a gun on my all the time minus sleep and work. You would never know it either!

John Wilkes Booth used a powder derringer
Lee Harvey used a bolt action
John Hinkley Jr. used a .22 revolver
Mark David Chapman used a .38 revolver


Pearl MS; 1997
Luke woodham kills his mother with a kitchen knife then kills three at his highschool with a 30-30 rifle.
His principle, who ignored the law, held woodham at gunpoint until the police arrived.

1. This principle saved the lives of unknown amounts of people by retrieving his personal firearm from his vehicle. Thanks to MS law he was allowed to cary in his vehicle.

2. In some states, this principle would have been sentenced in the same courtroom as woodham received his three life sentences.

What difference does that make? Computers didn't exist when the First Amendment was ratified.

One of the reasons that the BoR is so broadly written is precisely to make room for technology and for the future. Rights are not temporal. They are timeless. That is why they are rights, and not privileges.



I'm sure they didn't plan on kiddie porn when they guaranteed the freedom of the press.

Simply because liberty may be abused by some is no reason to restrict everyone's liberty.




Every one of the men who wrote the Second Amendment were clear: the people should always be as well armed as the government.

You think the government is so responsible and honorable that it, and it alone, should have armor? Frankly, I would trust a conglomeration of my neighbors more than the government.



Jeez, man. McVeigh used friggin' fertilizer and diesel fuel. He didn't fire a single shot.



Or looking to end trouble.





Then shoot back!

Ever notice how these cowards never open fire at a police station or at a gun range? They always choose places where people are generally disarmed. This is the fallacy of "gun free zones."




They didn't. That's why they didn't say "the keeping and bearing of muskets, dirks, truncheons, and broad swords shall not be infringed." They knew technology would advance, and they knew that government would always be evil.



Obama, like so many Believers, is completely ignorant of firearms. What he and those like him consider to be "abnormal" are mundane to me. I have a small arsenal. Some people would be shocked. Others wouldn't bat an eye.

Perhaps we should just have a constitutional amendment that leaves the petty personal opinions out of things. We could just simply guarantee the right of the people to be as well armed as the government.

here is the long and short on the 2nd amendment.when it was written our young nation had just came out from under brittish rule. we had a standing brittish army here until we beat them and sent them packing. we were unfairly and overly taxed with out representation. we were being ruled by a corrupt government. when the second amendment was put into place by the founding fathers they ment for the general population at large to be able to stand up to a corrupt government. a government should always fear it's people. the people should never fear the government.

well we now fear our government. the government is running amuck!!! it taxes us all, it seeks to remove our firearms because they really fear us standing up to them. a man with a firearm is a citizen. a man unarmed is a subject to a corrupt governments will!!

the 2nd amendment isn't about hunting and shooting sports. it was put there to stop a corrupt government!! that and nothing else. the fact that you can hunt and shoot in sports with a firearm is just a bonus we get from the 2nd amendment!!!!
