And just HOW are you going to get a gang banger to comply with your request?

Thanks... I knew the point right off as i used to mess about with x-c skis and a 22 bolt action rifle.

I wasn't terribly bad, but i wasn't #1 world class either.

Can't tell til you try HARD..

Like most things a dreaming is just the start. Once when i was just 16 I dreamed about and USA tour on a motorcycle. In 2005 into 2006 i did it, but it was a lot harder than the dream.

If you really want to keep the home invaders from invading your home,don`t advertise the fact that you`re storing large quantities of drugs,money,guns or jewelry in you home.I doubt very much that they`re breaking in to steal your laptop and flat screen tv.

You're right gmagoo. People should never ever strut their stuff, as it is an open invitation to break in's and theft. The best thing a person could do as a well to do person is not have their picture window of their abode wide open so everybody can see that big screen tv from the sidewalk or street, keep your drapes or shades pulled on the living room, put the big screen in another room, keep electronics out of sight, drive a vehicle commensurate with your surrounding neighborhood, just everyday ordinary display of what you don't have, can save people a lot of heartaches.

If all else fails, a good shotgun like a 12 gauge is enough to make a crowd of people dissipate.

Yes there are a lost of clips, guns and ammo out there, that doesn't mean we just go down the same path.

I remember the same arguments being made on drunk driving, changes in the laws did make a difference.
Classic psyco babble......... Huh?

You grabbers are always like that. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Maybe next time you milk a cow you will get bourbon

Why do the anti-gunnuts think there is a crisis, when the opposite is true?

Firearm death rates hace been trending downwards for decades, even with more guns.

Revolver beats a semi auto, you should hope to be this good.

People are getting tired of seeing bodies carried out of schools,theaters,malls,etc. Why is this so hard to understand? I seriously doubt that the families of the victims are interested in your statistics.

So, basically you are proving that your fake outrage of guns is true....

Fewer people are killed by shot guns and rifles than by blunt objects....in 2011....

How many BODIES were removed from cars....

See, when you anti gun people are provided facts, you hate that and run...or simply say, "how can you compare cars to gun"....
