This is one of the most hilarious threads on this site. You gun nuts sure like to get worked up over nothing. So says a guy with a few Remington shotguns and a couple of Beretta pistols. Get a grip . . .
Maybe when someone messes with a right you find important you'll understand.
And the gun store owners, who helped spread the fear along with gun manufacturers, are REAPING THE BENEFITS!!!!!!
Can gun buyers speak or do they just BAAAAAA!!!!????

I understand and appreciate this right, but nothing on the table is going to affect me. Those it might affect have other viable options. Again, get a grip . . .

Then don't expect us to stand up for your rights when they don't affect us. See the problem with your attitude?

They are not gonna take the guns, they are stimulating the economy by making ya'll scared so you go on a buying spree. LOL.
Just ask the gun dealer in the thread if it's working...

For the same reason I don't want someone telling me what car to buy, what color paint to use, what music to listen to, etc. It's about having the freedom to live my life without others controlling it. An M1 Garand is a piece of history. My grandparents used them in war to stop the Nazis (one of my grandfathers used a Springfield 1903 back in WWI also). I've got one of my grandfather's military issued 1911 handguns, one he carried defending our freedom against the Nazis, and used quite a bit. An AR-15 is a semi-auto lookalike of our military's current weapon (the real M-16 is full-auto). People like it for that reason alone, or they like the feel or it, the ammo it uses, its looks, the way the gun operates. The Ak-47 is arguably the best designed rifle of all time, incredibly reliable and tough. Those available here are also only semi-auto. But they still offer the great reliability the actual AK-47's offer, and you can't deny their significance in modern history. There's no reason why anyone should be denied the right to make choices based on their own preferences. I don't like the AR-15 myself, I'd prefer an AK or an SKS, but I'm not forcing my opinion on another person. If someone wants a rifle with a bayonet on it who cares? My 1893 bolt-action mauser (all 4 feet and 10 pounds of it, a real bear to lug around) has a nearly 2ft long bayonet on it, makes modern bayonets look like toothpicks. I've never done anything wrong with it. If someone wants a forward pistol grip on their rifle why shouldn't they? It makes it easier for some people to handle. As for numbers of guns...some people, like myself collect them. I like older guns myself, but a lot of people want the most recent modern technology, the same as some people collect cars or tools or video game systems or whatever. I have an antique Russian Nagant revolver that's old enough so it could theoretically have been one of those used during the Russian Revolution to execute the Tsar (even if it wasn't one of those, we'll never know the exact ones used, it's a true piece of world history). I have it because of my interest in history and because it's the strangest revolver ever made.
Get my point? Killing is illegal already, it is illegal for felons or the mentally insane to own guns or even ammo. There's no reason to punish people who have done nothing to harm anyone. The original AWB had no effect on crime. The FBI tried hard to find anything that would show it did and they couldn't. Clinton himself, who was an ardent supporter of the ban, admitted it accomplished nothing. It's not unreasonable for those of us who have harmed no one, committed no crime in our lives, to ask to be left alone on this issue.
Arctic...I have to spread the love, but consider yourself repped. And this from a lass who actually loves to shoot.
Like I said, for every firearm on any potential AWB list there are viable options. Buy those instead and stop your bitching . . .
Hmm, why did those Blacks want to sit in the front of the bus when there were "viable options"?
