You see, the NRA turns normal people into cowards. The NRA says BOO! Bad Guys are going to get you — so you better buy a gun! And the frightened people go buy guns, and gun makers make lots of money. But you don’t have to be afraid.

Real men don’t need guns — they’re for cowards. If little old ladies can live unarmed and unafraid, so can we all. You just have to stop being afraid. Enjoy your day.

Because they are mentally unstable there really isn’t any way to say for sure if them not having hands on an assault rifle would stop the tragedy in the first place and it could drive them to other more devastating means to kill.

Timothy McVeigh was able to kill 128 people and injure 680 people while doing $652 million dollars of damage without firing a single shot.

Of course that’s not to say that if they didn’t have guns they would all make bombs but to say if you really want to kill people it can be done with our without a gun.

So I just see the time, energy, and resources would be better spent on mental health car issues than wasting it on banning and enforcing the ban on guns.

So now you are clairvoyant? Pretty God Damn presumptuous of you infer what my, or anyone else for that matter, state of mind might be.

“My contribution to the conversation is this — ”

Is pretty much nothing. Thanks anyway.

Gun regulation and unconstitutional acts against citizens are two different things. I support the first but object to the latter — and it doesn’t matter which administration is doing that. I have been against drone strikes since we started them and the same with warrantless searches — and I still refuse to go through the photo booth at the airport. I have written to my Congressmen and promptly received back notes about why trampling my rights is totally justified, fyi. Unfortunately, the courts have not been with me so far (although it looks like the 9th Circuit is edging that way).

1. What about the gun owner who has his own little store? How does said owner defend himself and his business if thugs come in a try to rob him?

2. What about people who unfortunately have to live in high crime areas? How are they going to defend themselves?

3. Are you that built enough that you can take on street thugs if they try to harass you? The way these punks operate is in packs

There is a human right to self defense and in these times the gun is the obvious tool. Government thugs aka cops aren’t going to defend you see (Warren vs District of Columbia)

You dont want to own a gun fine as a libertarian I support your decision, my problem is those who want the state to prevent me from obtaining one.

My argument is based on myfloydpink’s premise that somehow the need or want of doing something has any relevance. Swimming and target shooting with an AK-47 are both equally valid forms of recreation. Neither have any need whatsoever to sucessfully live in a cage. (a) doesn’t matter

I find it crazy that anti-gun nuts can completely overlook 800 deaths a year due to recreational boat useage, but somehow 18 deaths a year because of “ASSAULT RIFLES” is an issue. Seriously, of all gun crime, “ASSAULT RIFLES” (what I don’t have a special spooky blood soaked font to use?) are the least of the problem. (b) low risk

Having said that, I personally support various gun control measures, just nothing like the BS that the media and liberals are pushing for. It’s like trying to ban all swimming, it’s a stupid overreach because they are scared and literally ignorant. Ban boating, ban beekeeping, ban peanutbutter, ban selling dangerous sugary soda’s over 16 ounces.

skids003 — you live in fear of “bad people.” Read what you wrote. The sad thing for your family is that there’s a greater chance that a member of your family will die from one of your guns than some imagined bad guy will.

How is it that little old ladies can walk the streets unarmed and unafraid? They’re not cowards. My mother is braver than the typical gun owner.

Oh, and then there was that sheriff we had who turned out to have a felony and couldn’t own a gun himself…after carrying one on the job for years.

I know liberals hate to admit it, but the criminals don’t go through background checks. See, they obtain guns on the black market or by stealing them. Background checks and weapons bans mean nothing to them.

Your side tries to equate senseless killings to the NRA and law-abiding citizens. Sorry….apples and oranges. Your sports shooters and hunters don’t break laws to begin with and that’s who these “gun controls” hurt. That’s why you will lose again. Focus on the problem and maybe you will get somewhere. Here’s a hint: the guns ARENT the problem. Next time, maybe you guys will get it straight. Then I look at the picture of Diane Feinstein with her finger on the trigger of an empty AK-47 that’s pointed toward the crowd of followers next to her. Then, I know you never will.
