FIREARMS REFRESHER COURSE - Oh Really?
1. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject. According to who? Are you saying if a person doesn't own a gun isn't a citizen? Who died and made Gun Owners kings and /or Queens? What an absurd statement. Sounds like a person who is a nobody with out his/her "equalizer."
2.. A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone. How often have you needed a gun? How violent is your world that you think you need a gun to solve your problems? If so I suggest you are a danger to your community.
3. Colt: The original point and click interface. A nonsensical statement made by a computer phobic personality. I don't click my computer mouse to kill, targets, animals or people.
4. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control. Seems to me the statement is made by a person wanting to control others. Registration of a firearm doesn't remove the firing pin it doesn't create a list to be used to confiscate guns. Gun control is based on keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and mentally ill people. Sure it can't stop all of this but it can stop the obviously dangerous from buying guns.
5. If guns are outlawed, can we use swords? Use swords for what? Nuff said
6. If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words. Duh! Inanimate objects do not cause anything. Uneducated people do, however, using a gun can cause gun deaths accidental and unintentional as well as intentional. I was once stabbed in the back with a pencil - and lived - I don't think pencils should be registered though they can be a lethal weapon. Guns other than for hunting can easily cause human death.
7. "Free" men do not ask permission to bear arms. Registration of guns doesn't restrict responsible or honest people from being free any more than registering your car, stocks, business or any other thing that must be registered. Free people don't mind registration even for school.
8. If you don't know your rights you don't have any. I know my rights I insist on my rights and I don't understand this need to secretly possess a small arsenal. Some laws are created to ensure the common good not to take away your rights.
9. Those who trade liberty for security have neither. So are you saying we can't have both? I personally feel both secure and free but it seems your security and bunker mentality are more important than mine. I'd hate to think we live in a country where we cannot disagree without one of us getting shot.
10. The United States Constitution (c) 1791. All Rights reserved. Yes a country of laws. Do you want to pick and choose which one's you follow if so do you really need a gun to protest. I don't mind you having a gun but it scares the bejeebers out of me to think you believe you need one.
11. What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand? What part of the entire statement do you not understand? "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Is it possible the "well regulated" part of the second amendment has been overlooked by the N.R.A. Gun regulation or Militia regulation shows an intention to protect the country and the state's National Guard?
12. The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the others. (See Above)
13. 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday. How many did? between 1999 and 2005, 207,751 firearm deaths were reported or .32/100 gun owners that translates to 1 death per 300 gun owners every 5 years
14. Guns only have two enemies; rust and politicians. I think probably at least three including dishonest gun owners and four mentally ill gun owners maybe five criminals who take away guns and kill the owners. There are probably more.
15. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety. Our Army and law enforcement officers have guns, Our Army and law enforcement officers protect the peace, Our Army and law enforcement officers make us safe.
16. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive. You get shot to be killed; you don't get shot to stay alive.
17. 911 - government sponsored Dial-a-Prayer. That's not very respectful of the Police sounds pretty smug and afraid to me.
18. Assault is a behavior, not a device. I'm sure a person needs an automatic rifle to hunt deer.
19. Criminals love gun control -- it makes their jobs safer. I doubt criminals care about gun registration.
20. If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson. Guns do not cause crime but they are the weapon of choice for violent criminals
21. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them. Only a person that is afraid of the world distrust government government tries to make it ineffectual.
22. You only have the rights you are willing to fight for. If you have to fight for your rights you never really had them or understood them.
23. Enforce the "gun control laws" we ALREADY have, don't make more. Registration of guns is a good law. Assault rifles and high bore 50mm weapons should only be used under controlled circumstances.
24. When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves. I'll let you know when I feel like a slave or cannot buy a gun. That has never happened and never would affect a hunter.
25. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control. Are you suggesting we are in the middle of a revolution?
26. "A government of the people, by the people, for the people..." ... and most people don't like the selling of assault rifle's over the counter
I have nothing against guns, hunting, collecting I do worry when it's insinuated a person isn't free without a gun, 911 is a useless concept, the 2nd Amendment is cut in half "regulated vs right to bear arms" Perhaps the Declaration of Independence should read "We find these [half] truths to be evident"
The Gun lobby and N.R.A. needs to start thinking about the good they do in teaching responsible firearm safety and follow up with the responsibility to others and eliminating the bunker mentality they seem to thrive on year to year.
