Bob,.... are you saying that it would be okay for me to beat you to death with a baseball bat after you cut me off in traffic... or shoud we outlaw baseball bats because in the wrong hands they can be a deadly weapon

The amount of effort and follow through to beat someone to death with a baseball bat vs the adrenaline rush of one pull of a semi auto are two different things. And I don't think anyone ever accidently beat themselves, or another person to death with a baseball bat

I realize that I'm not going to change your mind... I hope you realize that you are not going to change mine

btw one pull of the trigger on a semi-auto is no different that one pull of the trigger on a single shot

yep..although I have to admit that I know I am extreme about my wanting all guns banished, but really think I'm right about drawing the line with semi automatics and up..

anyway...moving on

in order for evil to triumph
all that has to happen is for a good man to do nothing

"Gun Free" zones always are until they aren't

the only ones that have to worry when an honest man has a gun is a dishonest one.

God created man
Sam Colt made them equal

guns prevent more violent crime than are caused by them..

anyway... in Florida they had to quit putting little stickers on rental cars because Florida allows conceal carry and the thieves knew that the people from out of state didn't have guns

without the 2nd amendment none of the other amendments have teeth

Well....you kinda' had me at the rental car thing...but the last is

Would somene please tell me why owning a gun, letting your neighbor own a shot gun and letting the weird dude two blocks over owning a machine gun a rite of passage?...it's got to be phallic at some point
