    I find it fascinating that with our big brain we endlessly think up ways to destroy ourselves yet cant figure out how to live in peace.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    It is quite the mystery, indeed. Apparently we as a species are prone to too much idle and/or wasted grey matter.

    ....and it shoots great!
    good to know, huh?

    Yeah... I don't know why anyone would want to regulate anything like this. Because now, if you want, you can make guns at home and don't have to steal them and waste all that time filing down serial numbers, like in the olden days.
    Background checks? We don't need no stinking background checks! Vamanos!
    Make guns at home... now there's an idea! Plus that would help solve the population problem in a very Darwinian manner. I once knew a kid who made a pipe bomb and blew he blew his hand off. Probably not the smartest kid in school. On the other hand, many years ago (WHEN I WAS A MINOR, ahem), some friends and I made a cannon that could shoot nails through 1/2 inch plywood. No one ever got hurt. Darwinian success or luck? Well... take your pick. :))
    I can build a gun at home, but won't...Having said that (and as I've mentioned in other threads) I'm sorta entertaining the idea of building a bazooka for Jason P (at his request).

    Don't worry, the Bazooka will only be able to fire off Strawberries, buuut if he wants it to turn deadly no problem, a small modification will have it able to fire High Fructose Corn Syrup mixed with Fluoride. (Yikes)




    Dude,High fructose corn syrup may kill more people a year then a guns.That would be a deadly weapon.lol

    Currently they are working on light sabers and phasers that can be set to stun. We should ban those too.

    Ban the vagina, it renders most men powerless! This is a weapon not to be taken lightly!



    (lol @ pew-pew!)
    Ahhh,the most deadly weapon in the world.Empires have fallen,Kingdoms have crumbled.Its just not fair.

    Is it possible to be totally serious while posting on yet another gun thread? Should we change the name of this segment of the form to A Moving Bullet?

    Ok, here's a more serious non-rhetorical: As a result of all of these threads and discussions about guns, has anyone changed their opinion on the subject?

    Great question. My opinions haven't changed. I guess I've wanted stricter gun control laws for so long it's just part of me. I honestly am trying to get some insight into how gun rights activists think, and I just can't get there. I don't understand how increased background checks and magazine size limits hurt anyone, for example. It's funny, I'm just as strongly pro-choice, and have never wavered, but I can at least see where pro-lifers are coming from,, even though it's so different than the way I think. But on the gun control issue, I just can't get there....can't even see it. And I try, I swear I do.
    unsung, sorry if I missed a comment from you on this, but what do you think about jmuscatello's comment regarding increased background checks and magazine size limits? I'm not too familiar with gun policies, but what would the top few 'cons' in a pro and con list for gun control look like?

    I am against mag limits.

    Background checks increased? Where is the increase needed?
