Barry's View on Gun Control?

[know1]

Gun control is one issue that I'm undecided about.

On the one hand, our right to bear arms has been seriously watered down since the time of the 2nd Amendment. At that time, we could basically own the best weapon technology available to defend ourselves from a tyrannical government. We can't do that anymore. Not by a long shot. So when you think of it that way, it's fairly meaningless and if you'd still allow people to have handguns and rifles/shotguns, then the hunting crowd should be satisfied.

On the other hand, I believe in as little government regulations as possible, so I'm not really for banning any weapons, either.

Uh Pontooner? Hellooooooo? Col's gonna need some serious help on this one.

Interesting that places where gun control laws are the strongest have the worst crime rates. Liberals call for change, yet keeping asking for more of the same.

I believe in the 2nd amendment as it was written, and don't even own a single gun. I've gotta borrow a shotgun from a buddy to rid the estate of a Peppy Lepew who's decided he lives with us.

I do own a Tippman 98 Custom paintball gun. I've found hunting humans to be way more fun than other critters. My sons have joined us in the woods a few times, and there's something deeply gratifying about shooting at your kids.

Jim,
Do they shoot back? Or do you insure their weapons are faulty.

You know I have always wanted to do the paintball thing that sounds like too much fun. Put my camoflouge and stealth skills to the test. I've been hiding from critters my entire life especially muture whitetail bucks so humans aught to be breeze.

IDEA how about a Fishin.com paintball war, Dem,s vs Repub's should be able to settle everything then and have fun doing it? LOL

If poor people didn't have weapons, there would have been no revolution, we'd be english. I'm not for total gun control, but its almost a sin to say there shouild be limits. Mine are legal, but I can easily buy stolen ones at fles markets, with hardly any identification.When folks say the problem in our citys are from illegal arms, how did they get them?If anyone needs protection, its poor urban blacks, yet they are held up as examples of no limits on arms. Before they ban weapons, lets make sure its not against classes and income levels.Every felonyn free citizen has the right to bear arms.About the rich white middle class, they had resources to stay out of the armed services, many of them did, if poor folks had the only say in starting wars, there wouldn't be any.They are the ones who have borne the brunt of most of our wars.

Thank you for the clarifacation kygorski. I just did not understand it the first time.

Wow, some very wise words and very ignorant ones too.

Inner city "poor urban blacks" should fight for the second far more fiercely than any "RICH"?/??//??? "white middle class" PERSON. Blacks were slaves because they were denied the right to arms, maybe due to all the "RICH" "white middle class" owning all of them.

By the way citizens should be able to own far superior weaponary than our governments military, otherwise this is not a democracy.Anyone who doesn't know the history and failures of the continental army AINT from Ky.

[kygorski]

My liberal thoughts on gun control, the police ought to issue them to decent inner city people to defend them selves against street thugs, it seems they cant seem to do the job. The mexican mafia can easily out gun most police forces. If the police know who these gang bangers are, and are powerless because of the law, let an armed populace do the job. Someone said it should be legal for the public to be evenly matched with the military, far fetched, But when the government went into new orleans, they disarmed the law abiders, and wondered why there was so much shooting and looting.Geee the thought of owning my own 3.5 rocket launcher sends goose bumps down my spine. Oh by the way, I'm sort of dillusional latelt, must be the pain meds.

Correct me if I'm wrong but there are some cities that have such strict gun control that most if not all law abiding citizens don't have guns. That leaves the punks and thugs with them. What do you think keeps these guys on the streets? The written law and lawyers have the legal system so screwed up that it's hard to keep these guys locked up but thats another topic in itself.

I say gun control doesn't work and is an attempt from left wing socialists to control us. I know it sounds like I'm standing on a stump shouting to a crowd but it's the truth in my eyes.

This is another reason why I don't like Barry and his cronies. It's all about control with them and it's control we don't need. We need to control them, they are the ones who have put our economy in this state not you and I. Just look at these guys telling us what to do and they can't do the right thing themselves.....what has gone wrong? In one word GREED! Power and Money.

[mhall]

Tell It Don, you are all over it brother. In states and cities where the so called make my day laws are in place and the regular hard working Joe's carry guns there is very little crime. Look at the stats they speak for themselves. The reasons for this are simple, criminals get shot by good people. I know alot of you don't like Ted Nugent so let's don't go into that again, however google his views on gun laws and controls and tell me it's not just perfect. People,,, criminals already have guns and plan on hurting folks with them and that's not gonna stop unless law enforcement or a law abiding citizen makes them go HORIZONTAL FOREVER.

Col, here is the defination of an assault weapon........ A person who assaults another with malice intent. Guns don't assault people only people do. I can lay a loaded Ak-47 fully auto on a table and it will lay there forever and never jump up and hurt anybody... ever. My 30-06 hunting rifle with the right barrel, clip and ammo will mow down concrete block walls and then shoot people. Does that make it an assault rifle.... No, only does if I pick it up and try to hurt somebody with it and not until.

You guys do know that full auto weapons ARE LEGAL TO ANYONE WHO CAN LEGALLY PURCHASE A HANDGUN dont you?! Hmm, I hate hearing about all those mass shootings and murders with automatic weapons.
