Geez, that was so informative. Never would've believed that the Gun-Nut crowd actually believes in all of that enumerated stuff until i saw that post. I learned something new today.

A big thumbs up for original thought to the OP.

wutitiz' law--The gun is just a dispenser.

99.9 percent of the technology resides in the cartridge, not the gun. Hence bans on so-called assault weapons, certain action types, mag capacities, restrictions on barrel length--all very,very dumb. It's the equivalent of banning or restricting certain car body types, spoilers, racing stripes etc., in an effort to improve traffic safety. Dumb idea, dumb people who propose and support it.

I support gun rights, but these statements are not truths, just stupid one liners.

So the various gun confiscations that have happened around the world, especially in the last 50 or so years, are all imagined as far as you're concerned. From New York to Louisiana to California, to Britain, Australia, Cuba and Canada. All just a narcissistic delusion on the part of gun owners. Damn I wish we could make all nanny-state initiatives go 'poof' so easily.

I guess if people in Africa had been armed they wouldn't have been taken as slaves now would they?
