Barry's View on Gun Control?

[mhall]

Still Undecided, might just stay in the middle and shoot at both sides. lol lol.

Come'on now Bobby you know you are a closet conservative. DH, Don, myself and some of the other fellas are starting to sway you over to the RIGHT side I can hear it in your posts. There is hope for ole Bobby yet, lol.

[Bobby Headrick]

Closet conservitive? I am not Clay Akin.........lol lol lol.

You all do a good job of twisting words to fit your views. The only point I have made - is some weapons are designed for the sole purpose of killing people. You all have made a very good point in that it takes a person to pull the trigger - but I don't understand why anyone would want to have an weapon designed for that specific reason. Hunt all you want - maybe even have something for protection if you feel you need that. But, Jd made a good point about cops getting shot with their own weapons - this holds true for a large majority of gun related deaths - many are shot by their own guns.

Many people that own guns (including myself) are educated and store them unloaded under lock and key in a safe, however, many do not take such precautions. So am I for gun control - no. Am I for more regulations regarding who can purchase and own a gun, and education on the weapons they have as well as regulations on particular types of weapons - yes.

This is the last I will write on this issue, justify your thoughts any way you see fit, or continue to twist my words around, you are only reinforcing my belief that hardcore consercatives are incapable of seeing views that differ from your own.

Col, luckily the 2nd Amendment wasnt just for hunting. Also the first guns werent deigned for hunting either...all guns were designed to kill people. Pretty much all guns used today in hunting have millitary roots. Take the Lever Action 30-30. Its probably one of the most popular hunting rifle today but 100 years ago it was used to tame the west.

My favorite example of why we should have to own these so called "assualt Rifles" are the LA riots. The photos of the Vietnamese (I **** at spelling and too lazy to loo it up) store owners sitting on their roofs protecting their property with AKs will always remind me of how important being well armed can be. If they hadnt they could have lost everything.

Sorry for that last one - had a crappy day at work.

Col,
Been there alot lately! No sweat I think we all understand how tough work can be. We are headed toward the best year EVER and it's been more than busy, stressful and crazy.
Besides I understand that small, dark room the left keeps you in gets kinda cramped! Open up, let the light shine in brother leave the darkside go toward the light LOL!
Be safe, Don

Been on a severity one problem since 2:15 this am. Still on it. This making a living stuff is way over rated.

Hey Don, I have done work on the safeties of their guns, it's not my fault if they sometimes malfunction.

Mark, paintball in the woods is an absolute blast, even for an old dude like me. Somewhere inside you realize the worst that can happen is a nasty welt or 10 (We all have our markers cranked up, last time we checked most of us could put a hole in a cardboard box) but it seems pretty real when the rounds are flying. Hunting stuff that shoots back adds another dimension.

Many will hunker down, those are the ones I like best. Nothing like chasing a camper to ground and gunning him down like a rabid skunk. That said, I get my share of welts too. If you want to play, let me know, humidity's down and 'spray and pray' season is almost here.

Hey Bobby, which side are gonna play for in the match? You have to pick or we'll all shoot at you.

Hey Jim,
We are talking about heading down Saturday to Gander Mountain you gonna be in town? Maybe we could meet up and say hello at the store...Ill be the one in the Gator shirt, LOL! JK I don't want to get slapped.

Hey Don, I'd love to meet you, but I've got a club tournament at Barren Saturday till the afternoon. After that my seriously yuppie sister-in-law will be here from Ohio. I've already been told by the wife that I would be mutilated then killed unless I made a special effort to be nice. If you don't hear from me anymore you'll know what happened, call and have them drag Barren for my carcass.

Next time you get my way holler again, be great to hang out a bit, maybe swap a few lies. I only live 2 or 3 miles from Gander Mountain, (take your pick whether it was a curse or a blessing that they put it there) and if you have time you can come over and help me get rid of a couple of barley pops.

[mhall]

I've never heard the term Barley pops before, I like that one.

[Devils Horse]

I like em pretty good too, Mark.

[DJD]

Jim,
No problem I'll let you know the next time I head that way we should be back down for a Mammoth cave visit before the year is out. I'm bringing plastic so I have a feeling Gander Mountain will be gettin' some of my money plus isn't there a Harley shop there as well? Oh son. I'm in trouble!
Good Luck at the tourny.

There is a huge difference in guns as well as ammo designed to hunt and those designed to kill or wound as many people as possible in the shortest ammount of time possible. Why don't any of you fight for your right to keep chemical weaponry as well, they were designed with the same idea of mass killings as were fully automatic assault rifles.

No one has mentioned ammunition either. Do any of you really hunt with armor peircing rounds? Some ammunition was designed not to kill, but rather severely wound. In times of war, you loose one man with a death, but if someone is severely wounded - they are out of commission as well as the two other people that need to assist them to safety. I guess you guys this should be just as available as the weapons in question.

I just don't understand how the right to bear arms have been taken to such an extreme that common sense has been left behind.
