Actually, I think they are threatened by the non law abiding citizens who own guns. I have no problem with guns in your home and on your property.

I have no problem with you exercising your right of freedom of speech in your home or on your property, but not on the Internet. See how that works?

Where do you think someone is most likely going to need to protect themselves, in there bed or at the gas station?

Btw, someone with a concealed carry permit is 7 times less likely to commit a crime than the average person.

Then why are moms boycotting starbucks? If this is just about being scared of criminals then what sense does it make to limit the size of magazines that criminals are allowed to carry in a firearm that criminals are not allowed carry? Who is that law and other laws aimed at then? Why were the top gun control advocates quoted as saying that they want all guns banned? If you are only feel threatened "by the non law abiding citizens who own guns", then why do you have a problem with law abiding citizens who own guns being to protect themselves away from home?

When you are in a public place it's not only you anymore like it would be in your own home. There are other people to consider who could get hurt in the crossfire. And seriously, you have a gun, they have a gun....you have no idea what the outcome will be.

If the Constitution says they cannot control it, it is then left to the states/people, as the Constitution also dictates.

Whoa? Strawmaning are you.... Where is the reasoning there???

One is perfectly outlined with in the US Constitution. It even has an amendment that says hands off, or we the people use them on you.

The other is not even touched in the US Constitution. Can you provide me an Amendment clearly outlining abortion.


I didn't think so.

So we should just let the bad guy shoot us while we beg for our lives because of the chance that something bad might happen if I had a gun to protect myself. That makes complete sense.

Good question, too bad Ronald Reagan isn't around to answer that question, he passed and supported some of the toughest gun control measures.

So what would the outcome be if they only have a gun and decide to mass murder everyone vs me having a gun too and he's then only focused on me while others have a chance to get away?

Since when does dry wall stop bullets? The things you all say make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Explain to me how you're okay with someone defending themselves at home, but not in public?

Are you okay with police officers carrying a gun in public? If so, why aren't you trying to ban that too, so that the only people with guns are criminals.

Like I said, you do not care whether or not if anything you say makes any sense. All you care about is how you "feel." Defending yourself with a gun at home does not make neighbors, people in cars that are driving by, people jogging down the street, etc any safer. You just "feel" safer because you can not see the evil gun.

What does that have to do with anything? I did not ask Ronald Reagan, nor do I agree with him. I did not vote for him. I'm glad that you thought it was a good question though, but too bad that you couldn't follow it up with a good answer....

The Hughes Amendment of the Firearm Owners Protection Act we added after the bill was voted on, the Gun Control parasites can only use such sneaky tactics.
