Oh, they cloak the "bans", the new "requirements" as "Nothing significant" - "no problem" - but we know where they are going

People such as ParkTwain fits this group - "oh, I only want to protect people" - yada, yada, yada.

They want to take away the right - the freedom, of ownership of firearms

Your freedom can mean someone else's life. But, no, that couldn't happen with YOUR gun.

A) In your mind, define "responsible laws restricting gun ownership"

B) In your mind, defind "propert gun security in the home" (do you own a gun PT)

C) In your mind, properly design guns - this is the silliest one PT - Product liability laws already cover this area - I would have thought you, who knows everything, would have already known this

Wait, Wait - clarify the above - are you saying that I can take someone elses life but not with my gun?

Tell us what your neighborhood policeman is going to say when he encounters you packing 3 pistols with a couple of rifles in your car as you step out of your car to "say hello." Tell us what the cop is going to say to you. He's going to think you're paranoid (that is, of questionable mental state), or you know of some present danger to yourself or to the public, or you're up to no good.

This is relevant to your question about "how many guns should I be alowed to own?"

And how well are those laws doing for the public, sir? That's what we'll continue to be talking about.

No, it is not relevant whatsoever

Do you want to limit how many firearms a person can own? Yes, or No PT

BTW, the proper way to handle a traffic stop (gun owners know this) is to lower your window, put both hands on the top of the steering wheel, tell the officer that you have firearms in the car, how many, where they are, and if they are loaded. The officer will say, "thank you sir, will you please step out of your vehicle and step to the rear of the car"

No problem PT

Do you own a firearm PT?

Of course it's relevant! If you own them and can't carry them? All together, even?
