You will always have unscrupulous individuals from the military and law enforcement that will be more than willing to supply weapons to the criminal underground for a piece of the profit.

And I don't buy the argument that we need guns to protect us from a tyranical government. The government is a group representing the interests of the nation at large. The government and the people are one and the same so if they get tyranical they get voted out.
So you will just sit and watch while the Obamanazis occupying the White House are pushing their extremist socialist agenda down your throat in order to create a one world government that will enslave us all? How are you going to vote out a tyrannical government if you have no freedom of speech, press, association or assembly? that's why every person should own 5 machine guns and 30 hand grenades at the very minimum.

Guns will always be easy for anyone to buy illegally. Just like any drug that is also illegal.

LOL man has been maing guns for nearly 2,000 years and some brain comes along and says this blending of metals and machines can not longer be possible?

Man I'll tell ya most any back home machine shop can pop out guns all day long if they want.

It ain't rocket science just because you can't do it.

Just like Prohibition helped gangsters in the '20s, so would a gun ban now.

I call B.S.

Sporting goods stores DO NOT accept weapons transfers. They are not re-sellers of weapons either.

If you want to put forward a position, just put it forward. If you want to ban guns, then just say you want to ban guns. Just don't think you have to make up stories to attempt to back that position up.

It seems like many people against gun control view the national government with distrust. This is definately the case here in AZ.

Are you aware you are suggesting that the OP break the LAW? He may own the machineguns legally so, but not the grenades. Troll On.

I and the forefathers of this country would greatly disagree w/ your assessment that the Gov't. and the people are one and the same. The gov't is made up of the people, and the people are given RIGHTS in order to check the gov't. Ergo, they are not the same.

You won't sing that tune when the Gov allows 140 illegals into your home will you?
