The whole problem with gun control is how to get bad guys to obey the law.

My wife will be extremely upset when I have to inform her she now has a penis from toting all those dang guns when we go hunting.

Shooting a Deer with a rifle is much easier than trying to beat it to death with an empty gun. Besides, they have sharp lil hooves when you get that close and you have to wear a cup.

I believe that people should be able to keep guns in their homes and should be allowed to transport said guns to a range for sport. I also think there should be tougher restrictions on who can legally own a firearm. I also think that no one should be allowed to carry a gun in a public place, e.g. to a political rally! No one should have a loaded weapon in their car either. Anyone caught with a gun in public should 1) be arrested and 2) sent to prison. No need for it.

In the US, there's far too much "romanticizing" of guns. Guns have become an extension of the American man's penis. It's all about macho BS. There are also too many crazy / angry people here to be trusted. Like I said, I'm all for guns in the home, but they should be left AT HOME!

A ban isn't the answer, but restrictions and regulation are sorely necessary. Sadly, I don't think Obama has the balls to really address this issue. It will probably take more needless deaths for the public to take notice. Until then, we will continue to experience obstacles placed in front of us by people who literally think that their guns are a part of their manhood.

Real men don't use guns; we fight. Unless you're faced with another gun toting *******, guns are for *******. An 8 year old girl can shoot a grown man and kill him.

the 1st Amendment was written along time ago as well, and the 2nd still applies today.

my daughters and wife would all laugh at you for your comment about men being *******, when you and other are not even willing to protect ones self when the police are not there to protect you.

please go run back to your federal job and have them protect you. just remember that when taxes stop flowing into the federal goverment, your job will be in jepordy.

boy, you are sure one of a hell a bad goverment decoy stooge.

No. When the first was written Dueling was still legal, which put forth a few ideas we have lost today since dueling isn't legal anymore.

That meant before you went about insulting someone, you knew you would be in a sword, knife, and a real big knife, or gun fight.

If you insulted someone he got to beach slap your face, add his own insult, and select the weapon if his choice.

If the code of dueling was brought back it might help stop some of the insantiy, but I doubt it with the punks and thugs we have now.

The ******* as you put it, are just common trash punks and thugs. Predators that have been around since man came down from trees.

The best method to stop them is to kill them, every last one of them.

I liked how the Russians did that off the east coast of Africa. The Russians didn't mess around a bit.

They boarded a pirate vessel with hostages and killed all the pirates who offered a fight, took ALL the weapons and all the hostages, and then ruined the pirates boats engine. They cast off, and once they came into artillery range launched one shell.

No one knows if there were any survivors, and I doubt the pirates could swim 200 + miles.

Seems a bit like deflection is you ask me.
Yes, there is no gun violence problem in America

What you didn't report was how many shooters were stopped because someone else had a gun or how many killings could have been greatly reduced if someone else had a gun.

Different perspective, isn't it?

I worry more about some nut coming into a school and he/she is the only one armed.

Did you ever think why police officers carry guns?
