    good common sense just in case or if and when.

    Clueless people think their government will take care of them in a crisis.
    Why would they ever assume that :?

    Sheer nonsense.

    Preparation for this paranoia conceived pandemonium has created pandemonium. Your country has a real gun problem at hand, not a potential one in the future.

    When I think about preparing for a crisis situation, my mind goes only to having a supply of drinking water and non-perishable food items... a first aid kit and a good flash light and spare batteries. Not having weaponry. Again - there's that gun culture rearing its ugly head.

    Better watch out for the people who want your supplies there.
    I guess in la la land everyone is respectful of other's goodies and would never loot, murder,
    for drinking water, food, shelter, medicine. Me I would rather be prepared for pandemonium.
    But then I was a Girl Scout ;) Better safe than sorry.

    For me it's not an issue of whither the country will be safer or not. Personally, I don't see how the country will be safer by taking certain types of guns away from the good guys. But that's just my opinion. To each their own. I have guns in my home, and we feel very safe. My door isn't locked to protect my family but to protect any crazy bastard that has the nutty idea of coming into my home and harming my family. He wouldn't have a chance. But for me it basically comes down to what gives the government any right to tell me what I can or can not have in my house for protection. You got Joe Biden out there telling all the women in the country to buy shotguns. Most females can not handle a shotgun without many practice sessions and training. Out of all the guns in the world, the shotgun is the hardest to shoot when it comes to a persons size and the amount of kick it gives off. Most of them would get blown over backwards with a shotgun. Or better yet, he's telling everyone to put a couple blast through the door. Ooops, sorry, just shot the mailman. We have people that clearly aren't trained enough in guns to have a clue, trying to tell everyone else what they need or do not need.


    dont think about it as being safer by taking away certain types of guns from the good guys... think about it as taking superfluous weaponry out of circulation. if all you people think your skills are high then youve no need for anything other than a simple pistol surely. but yuo know what? if youre pointing a gun at me youd better be prepared to use it cause im not gonna just stand there and have you think just cause im unarmed im powerless. you better use it cause i will come at you. and i have no fear of death. and its not about being a hero... its about taking control of a shitty situation and grabbing hold of the power the gunman thinks he/she has. so dont be thinking, shoot me if youre gonna. and if you want my tv that bad, just ask and we can all get out of this with just a high heart rate and nothing more... well youll have my tv but no one will be hurt.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    I am not worried, because I don't feel that I have anything to worry about. People would watch put for one another here. I don't feel that I would need a gun. No one else has them, really.... you see, there is no big gun culture here, being propagated by scared people. It is not our first thought to go get the guns.
    Of course, there is hope - I don't recall the big story during the Sandy aftermath being that paranoid people were hunkered down in the rubble ready to fight off armed marauders.

    Have you read recently how many guns are in Canada? That's only those we know about. :lol:
    I sincerely hope you won't need a gun. I sincerely hope you can protect your home, your children,
    your loved ones by relying on others. This is your plan and your choice.
    But for me self reliance is important. I'm not going to bank
    on being protected by the government, the police, my fellow man. You see in pandemonium
    unfortunately it is everyone for themselves. And as horrible as Sandy was
    I am not talking about a hurricane or an isolated part of my country.
    It is plain and simple common sense preparedness.

    Actually for me the fear is thick amongst those who want to take guns away from people.
    It is none of your business if I choose to own a gun for preparedness and protection,
    yet you make it so. I can only wonder why that is and I have to realize it is fear.
    Just as I can only wonder why you would want to take my Lucy Lew from me as well.
    I guess because you do not understand and what we can't understand we fear.

    Do you carry insurance? all kinds? Me too.

    but you AREN'T self reliant in this context. you have stated several times that you don't own a gun or know how to shoot one, your husband does. that's not self reliant.

    It is an ever changing world, I take pride in self reliance, as many women are.
    Women are the fasting growing group of gun owners.

    Meanwhile Obama is on his gun control tour asking for help in getting legislation passed. He might as well stand up there and ask for help keeping the public disarmed, defenseless, and helpless. That's how they want you. Sorry, I'm not participating in that nonsense.

    Forget everything else, Is there that much dislike for tougher background checks?

    Also, I don't want to take anyone guns away or we could just have a free for all society where we have anyone over 18 being able to purchase a gun without any checks.

    I'd be for tougher background checks if they did two other things:

    1. No registry gets created on what people are buying.

    2. Will it solve inner city gang violence where most gun crime is?

    If the answers are no registry and Chicago murders get to near zero then I'm on board.

    I'll never understand what the problem is with #1. please explain to me the issue with your gun being registered like your vehicle.

    Pretty simple really.....here in America you just never know who your next President could be. Gotta stay prepared for some crazy bastard like Bloomberg getting elected :D

    Registering guns to me is a bit much. Yes, I can see the positives, but will it help, that is something that must be proven before it becomes law.

    For me, I am happy with the executive orders Obama did. The universal background checks are great, gun research can finally be done, schools have option to allow guns on site, and steps to ensure mental help have been taken. Can't argue with that (even though people somehow find a way to do so).

    Banning guns and registering weapons is just not an option in this country. America has come too far to do such things anymore. America can't live with or without guns. Change is essentially impossible.

    Driving a car is not a constitutionally protected right, owning a firearm so I can defend my family is. They have no business in my business.
