Why don't we just start posting the addresses of all 18 year old females? How about posting the addresses of all news reporters and government employes? How about we post addresses of all private employees who we don't like the companies they work for?

You people have a fatal flaw in your abilities to comprehend what's right and what's not. You're so ready to punish people that have done nothing wrong that you don't give two ****s about the repercussions of doing that.
And what about the accident related fatalities, the homicides, the mass shootings? Just the casualities of war for the way this country handles its gun control? Why are you so afraid of change? You folks are going to f@ck this up and another gun tragedy may actually push this country to ban guns. Instead of taking the charge, you folks just deflect. It's quite curious to us folks who support gun ownership that yall are being so stubborn, it will surely come back to hurt your cause.

Fix what? The 3 thousandths of a percent chance that you'll die in a gun related crime. Spare me. The next time you perpetrate being an advocate of something you might want to know the goddamn stats before you make yourself look even dumber. No one believes you're advocate of gun rights. You've made it perfectly clear that you're a liar and propaganda artist hell bent on ignoring laws and reality so you can push for your utopian fantasy land.

If that's the case then just post everyone's address and tie to the address whether they have a firearm or not. Then it can be a free for all.
Don't you have that reversed? Wouldn't it make more sense to have perpetrators of domestic violence be on some kind of public registry? Makes sense to me.

Just another really good reason to never register your guns.

I will never own a registered gun.

but since that is the reason for the 2nd Amendment, I will go against your version of the 2nd Amendment and stick with mine.

And how did you decide that?

The need for citizens to protect themselves against tyrannical government has always existed and always will.

Problem with that being some burglers specifically target stealing firearms..........

Exactly. Statistically speaking the chances of being involved in any sort of violent crime is very low. Statistically speaking having this high of per capita gun ownership hasn't made this country safer. Perhaps you should take a look at the bigger picture.

Where have I ever said I wanted to ban guns? Why would I want to eliminate my ability to own a firearm? Why do you ASSume so much?

There's a line between sport, recreation, and protection and being some angry dude with a feeling of hopelessness and lots of guns and ammo.

And you've made it clear you can't argue rationally, instead you have to name call and put words in my mouth. Good job.

I see a class action law suit coming their way which will close them down for good.

I also see a need for yard signs pointing out who doesn't own any guns..

Time isn't static. The world actually changes around you. Now I wonder why, considering the circumstances of the times why America would have such an amendment....

This what America looks like in 2013....


Your version is quite dated.
