For what it is worth, the Wanamachers Gun show is on this weekend. they say that during the 18 hours the show is on (Sat and Sun) if you spend equal time at every table, you will spend 16 seconds for each of them. It is almost 11 acres of guns under one roof at the QT Center at the fairgrounds.

2. A correction or alteration, as in a manuscript.


3. a. The process of formally altering or adding to a document or record. b. A statement of such an alteration or addition: The 19th Amendment to the Constitution gave women the right to vote.

Which means, every amendment to the constitution is just that, an amendment, and as such it is subject to be repealed by another amendment.

example: The 18th Amendment was repealed by the 21st Amendment.

Secondly, I understand that people want to defend themselves and hunt, etc. But I don't think anyone should be running around with an assault rifle.

My argument against gun control would have to be thus:

The fundamental flaw in the thinking of anti-gun politicians is that
guns don't kill people. People kill people. The same logic that leads one to
control firearms could also lead one to endeavor to control automobiles and
fast food simply because they are instrumental in millions of deaths per year.

However, think about how much easier it would have been for Cain to kill Able if he had a 9mm semi-automatic pistol. Also, the fact that guns are designed with a lethal intent. Automobiles and fast food are not. Which almost nullifies my argument against gun control save for the fact that people will inevitably still kill people with or without guns. Of course they will, but let's not supply them with the easiest possible way to kill other people. I'd rather find myself in a dark alley with someone packing a crowbar or a knife than a 9mm.

Although I'm opposed to the private ownership of firearms, I think gun control would actually worsen the situation. None of the honest law abiding citizens would have guns and many criminals would find ways to smuggle guns. I believe any attempt at gun control would simply put the guns into the wrong hands, as evidenced by the fact that marijuana is illegal, but is still in widespread use.

This is an excellent post. Well done.

WORLD'S LARGEST GUN SHOW

WANENMACHER'S

TULSA ARMS SHOW

APRIL 4 & 5, 2009

Featuring BROWNING COLLECTORS ASSOCIATION

Meet ENOLA GAY Navigator - DUTCH VAN KIRK!

Something to think about: If all our tables (2800 8ft. and 1200 6ft.) were placed end to end they would stretch 5.6 miles!

If you spend the whole 18 hours we are open to the public and divide that by 4,000 tables, You will have 16.2 seconds to look at each table.

you may attend dozens of good shows before you find an antique Henry rifle, but you may find a dozen rare Henry rifles at our show. At a recent show, a spectator told us he counted 26! And there were just too many old Colts and Winchesters to count.

SHOW HOURS
Saturday:
8am-6pm

Sunday:
8am-4pm
