ROSE won't let him either

The gun that you've been using scares me.

psst...it's only a nerf gun....drivin won't let me use anything but that and invictus took away the nerf ammo....so it's not even loaded

So true. NO ONE will ever strip me of my right to bear arms until i'm dead.

Sadly, if laws were passed that made the manufacture of guns impossible in this country and sale to honest citizens too difficult to be practical, the same people who haul a ton of coke into the country would haul a ton of German semi-automatics to the highest bidder. Plenty of guns of all types would always be available to criminals.

That's good to know.

You'd think someone would stop and make a "huh" sound? You'd think that cogs would start turning?

From my experience? Nope. After they ban guns, and exactly what you said happen, they just will cry for tougher gun controls. Most people would consent to random house searches, before they realize a cause-consequence in the process...

This is the question that bothers me: If we are (the people) so dim, why don't we deserve to be ruled? I think we do.

When we got into this debate during the Clinton years. It was discovered that the Justice Dept wasn't enforcing the laws on the books at the time. What was the point of additional laws if they weren't bothered by enforcing the ones they already had? A simple answer. They want to control everything you do. They don't like the fact that the average American can go into a shop and buy a weapon.

In the state of Maryland, you cannot purchase a handgun if you were suspected of domestic violence. Not convicted, just suspected. If you have a drunk driving conviction from 10 years ago, NO handgun for you.


We have already allowed them to take away the right guaranteed by the 2nd amendment, and as nogames stated, deserve to have more taken away, because we allow the erosion without consequences.

when it is cheeper to put law biding pepole in presion and let the bad element run free, thay will say where did we go wrong !

I was chatting with a police chief, and he mentioned he would like to be a SWAT chief. I wondered isn't there extra headaches. He sais something like this (long time ago, but I remember the point):

"Look, right now I am the god for anyone with as much as a handgun. I am the lord, and when I send an angel of death, you die. If I was a SWAT chief, I could do that to anyone with as much as AK47, no matter, I send the angels and you're dead man."

My thinking is that you're correct, the less weapons we have, the more power even a regular cop has over us, the law-abiding citizens. As for the real tough guys, government doesn't even dare to mess with them. They run their operations as if they were legal, in the daylight.

Every cop dreams of becoming a lord. He only has a handgun, and the fewer of us own that, the bigger lord he is. And every bureaucrat above the cop, is feeling exactly the same. They all instinctively seek higher office, to attain the higher firepower under their trigger. And if they can't expand upward, the only way to be more deadly is to push us downward, so they all like the idea of disarming us.

cause every cop is a criminal, and all the criminals saints

Don't know about all. There is always an exception, which doesn't change anything.

Once you say "all" then the single exception proves you wrong.

Therefore, it is better to say that because all cops are honest and all criminals are guilty, we just need to give the government all the power.

no he won't

he will let a foreign power do it
