    I am not anti-gun, but this makes me cringe... This is all we need, thousands of more guns on the street purchased out of fear and anger.

    I voted Dem this year and most of the time. however, I own several guns and enjoy my rights to bear arms. I think the reason I voted Dem was because there are so many more issues at stake that are more important. I don't think anyones guns will be taken away completely. Shit, the Supreme Court just overruled a longstanding law in DC that banned anyone from owning a gun. Sure, Clinton banned assault weapons for 10 years, but anyone who had them before were allowed to keep them. I don't think there is that much to worry about. Obama has a lot of shit to dig through first before making gun laws tougher.
    He who forgets will be destined to remember.

    I may have inadvertently added to the boom. I just bought a .22 Rugar the other day for plinking.

    Just to make it clear, I didn’t buy it out of fear. I bought it because of my intense hatred for empty aluminum soda cans.

    yeah, really. I mean, if you're shooting game to provide for your family, okay. But let's get rid of these damn AK-47s that some have for "sport."

    You have to shoot cans! If you don't, they will climb out of your recycle bins in the middle of the night and attack your goldfish.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I'm not convinced that many people in this country HAVE to shoot game to provide for their family. I'm not anti gun per se, but hunting to live has pretty much vanished in this country.

    I agree, seems needless and well...fucking stupid. At the same time, if you want to hunt for food in the wilderness, go for it. Personally, I do my hunting at Ralph's.

    I'm not particularly pro-gun or anti-gun--guns in and of themselves are pretty neutral. It's the people the people that creep me out a little bit sometimes. You probably don't need an assault rifle and your ten year old probably doesn't need to be a trained marksman (though, if you have guns, teaching your children safety is important). Though I don't see myself owning a gun anytime soon, I don't think trampling on the Constitution is a particularly good idea--even though, if it comes to armed conflict, I think the government is going to win. They have flamethrowers, we don't. And we shouldn't. (Come to think of it, flamethrowers seem ineffective...whatever, you get my point.)

    Before this thread gets ruined, I just wanted to say that this has been the best (and wittiest) gun related thread on the moving train that I've ever seen.

    I hope my inane comments have brought a smile to at least a few of you here on “a moving train”. On rare occasion, the mood can get quite bleak over here.

    Well, the work day is over so I’m off to drink a few beers. To those of you on the west coast that are getting back from lunch and still have three hours to kill . . . [summoning Nelson voice] . . . “Ha, ha!!!”

    see i like to teach my kids how to go on a bike, play tetris, draw, an instrument... the last fucking thing i'll do is teachthem what a gun is for, how it works and then actually let them use one... i'd rather teach them jazz... and you evidently have no idea how much i loathe jazz.
