The party,not necessarily the people in the party.

Sad really,if the Dems dropped the anti-gun agenda,it might get more support.

One thing I know for sure, is I'm not going to miss..
And so does your aggressor if he hears the noise of the cartridge being loaded.

Once again, there is no need for military type weapons.

Why do you feel you have any right or responsibility to attempt to influence people of a different culture on a different continent to embrace your beliefs? US gun policies have no effect on you nor are they really any of your business.

As far as your hatred of the TEA Party goes it is yet another facet of our culture that has no effect on you. If you have such a strong desire to intervene in US politics feel free to move here, become a citizen, and vote your conscience. Otherwise you might consider devoting your time to improving things in your own country.
Why would he want to move here? Hello! Denmark....low crime rate, healthcare that doesn't cost 1/2 of your wages, beautiful country, and no tea-party freaks.

People with guns do harm and good, don't buy one if you hate them. Problem solved.

I keep it loaded..

And a short barreled pump shotgun is not a military weapon. They're for home defense..

The real world does not play out like a Hollywood movie. All the rack of a shotgun does is tell the intruder where you are, what weapon you have, and about how many rounds you can fire. The only thing he has to guess about is are you loaded with buck or slug. If he is some unarmed cat burgler you might scare him off. However, if it is a nerdowell intent on doing harm he will likely not be impressed. You see, once you take one type of firearm out of the hands of law abiding citizens then only the criminals will have them.
