Ooh, a gun debate. Let the mudslinging begin.

Man o man, the AR-15 is a pretty gun.

Anyway. As a fine upstanding liberal-minded young man, I support my good ole bill of rights...and gee whizz, what's that right after my freedom of speech, peaceable assembly, press, and religion?

The right to bear arms. Not "pistols." Not "rifles." "Arms."

To me, that includes everything except bombs. If I can afford it, and it's purpose is self-defense, there should not be a law preventing me from having it, though I'm okay with the government registering my name to the serial number of the weapon I purchase.

I'm not an advocate of the "wouldn't it be great if everyone had a gun" philosophy found here in Kentucky...but I do not support any legislation to limit the firearms or ammunition clips I can posess. What I DO support is teaching children about gun safety at a fairly young age, say ten or so. Knowledge like that can save as many lives as these gun laws claim to do.

Quite an interesting presentation, dont necessarily agree with it but they do raise some good points.
My fave line is "Do it now. For the children." Now call me a little weird but isnt more guns being around the last thing children need? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Guns are for protection...back home, that's the primary purpose of owning a firearm.

Guns are for shooting! Get it straight! I protect myself with my IBA (Individual Body Armor). AR-15 'a pretty gun' Palese! Ever seen a sporterized SKS? What about an all black AK with polymer accessories? Oops, did I type that in my typing voice?
Beside, everybody knows that the flashlight mounts to the bayonet lug!

'Assualt' Weapons have already been unbanned! Besides, I made quite a profit on my pre -ban 15 & greater capacity magizines! Don't let that escape here!

Machine Guns? Overrated! I mean, sheez, at 600-900 rds a minute, who has that much money for ammo? Even reloading, you'd have to load 2-3 hrs a day, for about a month on a 'mechanical' press, or about 5 hrs on an automated rig just to have 3-5 minutes of fun! Ain't worth it, unless you are wanting to re-live The Untoucables era!

This is a pissing contest that can't be won!

Bozos of Bones · 09-28-2005, 09:06 PM

Damn you're right, the Widowmaker is a pretty gun

And yes, I laughed at that last line "For the children."
There is something profoundly wrong and yet somehow right in restricting gun use. I wouldn't ban any firearm, but would install more strict laws on what you have to do to actually get one.

Ilander · 09-28-2005, 10:40 PM

...OK, Felix...guns are for shootin'

I just hate to make it sound like us'ns in Kentucky just like to shoot 'em in the air. We're generally at least aiming at something...or my family is, anyway...

One of my uncles has an AK, one has an SKS. I don't like the SKS very much at all, but you do have a point about the AK [img]smile.gif[/img]

You ever watch videos on the internet of real people getting shot yeah that really makes me want people to have guns.
