Being "outgunned" has nothing to do with it. The Afghans were heavily outgunned against the Soviets. The Colonists against the British. Need I go on?

Who needs 9mm when you have hundreds of thousands of ak-47s legally acquired, not to mention the ones we can get illegally if the gubmint tries to ban 'em?

Permit me to ask YOU a question.....why are all of you gun owners so ridiculously against background checks? If you have nothing to hide, then no problem, correct? I have a problem w/anyone who wants to walk around w/a gun, felon or not. That's just common sense in my book.

I don't think anyone thinks allowing a felon to have a firearm is a good thing. Your grasping at straws! Who said felons should have guns besides you? Typical anti gun behavior...stay on topic!

First off - your statement "all of you gun owners ..... " is factually incorrect.

Then, I can purchase firearms all day long with no background checks.

So now - how's about answering my questions???

The British had placed on American soil part of their army. That army was defeated by the Continental Army led by Geo Washington, not by a militia.

100s of thousands of AKs? About what novel do you speak? And what would these gun hounds be fighting for, anyway? Get real for a change.

Allow me to explain, the poster mentioned people who carry concealed weapons, I assumed he meant felons. So there's your answer, why don't you simmer down?

What's your problem, did I not answer your question? Was there another one I missed somewhere? My answer is, I don't like people walking around w/guns, plain & simple. What's so hard to grasp w/that?

No, you did not answer my questions. So, let me re-state them:

Permit me a question? Are all the millions of people who own a firearm, or firearmS, "gun nuts" in your opinion?

And, how about those who carry a concealed firearm? Are they "gun nuts"?


How's that?
