Of course IMO, banning guns is silly and will never happen but I can see some "soft pitch" legislation coming. I
know something has to be corrected with the direction of this country but what?
Maybe they will nationally expand a current police force and cover the schools? Still comes down to money because guns in general ain't going anywhere...that cat is out of the bag. I am a gun owner and enjoy my semi-auto handguns and long guns so I lean toward not messing with my right to bear arms.
I'm arguing with the anti gun people almost every day and they are after the AR15 right now big time. We have people discussing the wounds caused by different type bullets. Some lady doctor or radiologist is showing pictures of wounds on human bodies on the internet site that I go to. They are talking physics. Now I know that the army designed the 5.56 round to tumble though the body to create a larger wound cavity. The 5.56 round was designed for Vietnam and war. But not all 5.56 rounds are the same and I use that to disarm the Good Doctors' presentation when she talks about the "Standard" AR15 bullet. She is ignorant in the ways of Arms and Bullets and thinks that there is one "Standard" Cartridge in the 5.56 caliber. That is the weakness that I attacked on her presentation to the liberals anti gun people on this web site that I frequent.

And my standard come back is the 2nd amendment of course. The use of the word Shall instead of the word May. Big different in legal jargon.

But that won't stop the anti's from coming after our AR15 and trying to pass laws to limit the size of the magazines we use. I'm about ready to send money to the NRA as they are under heavy attack. I never did join the NRA and still enjoyed their protection of my gun rights. But I think I'll join them now and help fund them.
