Why do you feel the need to own a gun?

[the dangling wrangler]

If the government did decide to do such a thing, the people would not stand a chance....armed or unarmed. You say the military members might not fight for the government.... but do they really need people with the drones and robots we have?

Yes, they do need people. A drone or a robot isn't going to knock on my door asking for my weapon.

If the term “assault riffle” is being incorrectly used then maybe we need a new term to describe what the media is calling an assault rifle. You want to say it is no different than most hunting rifles but we know that is not true.

Features that describe an assault rifle in the eyes of the media are:

Short
Nimble
Lightweight
Pistol grip to avoid climbing.
Large magazines.
Medium caliber to avoid recoil during multiple firing.
But not necessarily fully auto.

Sure these features can be used for advantages on a hunting rifles but so would using a machine gun or a 50 cal mounted on top of your truck. These features also specialize in in-close combat particularly when shooting humans in an urban environment.

The only feature a gun designer uses is not fully auto or not. There are a lot of other features that go into an assault rifle. I’m sure your list would be a lot longer than mine.

We've already covered this foolishness with you, Brian.

We've led the horse to water. You thirsty, yet?

Why should any American feel a need to comprimise our freedoms and rights?

You say we won't give an inch? We aren't stupid. We know that translates to the same as your saying; "We'll only stick it in a little bit."

Hey Bo Bo Tech

Take your complaint up with the Supreem Court over your rights

They say you don't have a "right" to posess any firearm you want.

So your above statement is moot and wrong.

Of course we all know you will never admit it since you are never wrong.

Brian,

Tell me which one of these is a "Short, Nimble, Lightweight, Pistol grip to avoid climbing, with large magazines and Medium caliber to avoid recoil during multiple firing."

Read this again, only this time, think about it.

A LAW ABIDING citizen shot 19 people?

What kind of laws do you have down there?

Not strong enough ones to prevent Lougher from purchasing a 9mm semi automatic handgun legally and killing 6 Tucsonans including one precious 9 year old child.

Her parents spoke out today.

The tide is turning.

You all better start getting ready for that wave.

mcjo,

There is no amount of laws that can completely prevent these things from happening.


While I'm not opposed to your training idea, these are gun guys, not psychiatrists or psychologists reviewing these potential gun owners.

Yes, some people have good instincts, some don't, and some people WILL slip past the best screening system that you can devise.

[mcjo tech]

Well, you have been asking for a compromise so there it is. A gun certification/safety program for EVERY student. I have to insist on required course to graduate, because otherwise you and I both know it would not be offered or get mired in some political agenda at the local level. All children may not need the certification, but they could benefit from the safety aspect. Pass course=certified upon age requirement.

OK just as long as EVERYBODY is required to complete such a course prior to purchasing any firearm.

Brian,

That one looks like a 180 series. Being as it has a wood hand guard in the before pic.

So your answer is that if it doesn't stop ALL the problems we should not do anything?

Thats just silly. If we had that same attitude for everything then there would never be any progress.

I ask you to just think about the above statement for a few moments.

And I asked for your solution but have yet to see it.

The second pic is what a brainless jackass does when you give him a mini 14 and some spending money.

That is one ugly looking rifle.... Cheap folding stock......that barrel shroud.....lol

What robots?

Brian is not thirsty. Brian is full of Kool-Aid.

Brian is not thirsty. Brian is full of Kool-Aid.

I'm afraid he might be full of something else too.
