Any do you equate liberty to an assault weapon?unsung said:No. No deal.
I will not give up Liberty for perceived safety.
You give of assualt weapons and you get to keep a hell of a lot of other personal security and hunting weapons.hippiemom = goodness0 -

This argument will go on forever unless we find a logical solution. Which I just happen to have here. Roll a number like bugs does here (look at his eyes, yeah, it's a doobie) and get out the drawing pad. Peace, y'all!

unsung said:Safer society? That is really rich. Go disarm the gangs first. Then tell me about society being safe.
The gang members are killing other gang members. They aren't bursting into schools or theaters or concerts and killing randoms in great numbers.
Your previous answer said it all though: you'll live with more mass murders of the sensational variety as long as you have the freedom to caress your AR15. Happy shooting dude!
This is the US's f**king problem: a ridiculous concept of freedom based on entitlement, selfishness and disregard for others. You guys should seriously think about splitting: put all the Cletuses in one country and let them have at each other. You could even take Trump as your leader.

An AR is not an assault weapon. It is not selective fire. A bat can be an assault weapon.cincybearcat said:Any do you equate liberty to an assault weapon?

The 2nd Amendment was not written for hunting.0 -
I realize that.unsung said:Innocent people get killed, not just gang bangers.
We will never get rid of all murders- especially in a 'have and have not' society. When the career options are Burger King or peddling dope... well... gee.
More to the topic... the people that are typically killed in error as a result of gang violence are not the people you concern yourself with anyway, Unsung. Let's not pretend to be too concerned as we try and construct a teeny weeny argument against a tidal wave of common sense.

Right the 2nd amendment was written for when the government stopped representing the people.... hmmmmm ... 66% want action....representative do nothing...unsung said:An AR is not an assault weapon. It is not selective fire. A bat can be an assault weapon.

Do you think this gassy man's freedom was violated on his flight?
https://www.msn.com/en-ca/travel/news/unapologetic-farting-man-on-plane-causes-emergency-landing/ar-BBJnGvx?li=AAacUQk&ocid=spartanntp
It's human nature to fart.
I mean... if freedom means being able to own an AR15 with a large capacity magazine... even though we know it is the weapon of choice for madmen and is responsible for crimes unparalleled in their magnitude in this era... freedom must also mean being able to relieve yourself of a little gastrointestinal gas when the body demands such.
Why hold it in? Why get up and go to the bathroom? Why concern yourself for others? F**k 'em. Smell my farts, assholes. And eat lead too. Freedom."My brain's a good brain!"0 -

Speaking of planes, why wasn't the solution to allow passengers to carry handguns on them or add armed security to every plane after 9/11 to stop hijackers more efficiently? Wouldn't that be about the same logic as adding more gun carrying good guys to schools or any other soft target? Instead they ramped up flight security and restricted what could be brought on board.
If an AR-15 was named Mohammed and dressed in a thawb we would have gone to war with it and sought to ban it years ago instead of claimed there was any constitutional right to it no matter how many people were killed.It's a hopeless situation...0 -

Just wait until there’s an incident like what occurred in Paris with an Islamist extremist or homegrown ISIS sympathizers. White guy? Nothing can be done.

Good question. I've been thinking about this a lot the past few days because I really want to be the change and I've never been more fed up with the bullshit.Meltdown99 said:Other can coming on to bands web site to bitch about gun control, what are any of you doing that would be useful to change gun laws?

I'm going to draft letters and send them to my congress reps, my senators and anyone in the WH I can asking for change. It may do nothing, but that's not going to stop me from trying. Trump and the R's have an opportunity to truly make our country great again in a real capacity if they want and it would gain a lot of support down the middle. A unified response on this issue is what could help lessen the extreme divide our county is in right now.It's a hopeless situation...0 -
So you’ve given up. Is there anti-gun lobbyist? Or do the pro gun lobby just have way to much money behind them.Halifax2TheMax said:Nothing can be done.
