WHY?

You know what I do when I can't afford something. I don't buy it. Not some people if they can't afford it they just find a way to TAKE IT from someone who can.

And ANY excuse to do so is fair game. Even if it involved you neibors being homeless or dead.


I even heard that just now on the news that these morons were steeling guns and firing at national guard and aid choppers.


Sometimes I think it would be just easier to shoot people like this than to bother with the "justice system"


PUKE!

They SHOULD be disarming everyone. It will help to make a volotile situation less so.


In a perfect world maybe. But the only people handing over their weapons are the honest individuals-they are the ones that get hurt.

QUOTE
Personal freedom's don't include shooting someone for kicks. And the guy who is a law abiding citizen, with a registered weapon isn't going to be on the streets anyway. All he's concerned about is a roof over his families head.....


And how can he protect his family when we disarm him? Of course personal freedom doesn't include shooting people for kicks.


QUOTE
The right to bear arms is a "personal freedom" that is ALWAYS taken to extremes by folks with a single agenda. Those willing to to sell their soul to the devil to push their "personal freedom" agenda. I hope the NRA DIES. It's what they do. They push certain politicians REGARDLESS of what the politician has planned for other agendas.


I suppose the freedom of speech is also taken to extremes. The right to bear arms is part of the constitution-it's not something to be turned on and off at your own whim.


QUOTE
Go tell the 100's of thousands who have lost their job, and the people who drive for a living and can't afford to now that they should have a right to own an assault rifle.


Assault rifle is a media term referencing a fully automatic weapon which isn't legal to own anyways. Call a rose by another name and show clips of automatic weapons and it's easy to push your own agenda. But that is a whole other arguement.

QUOTE
Anyone who votes on a single issue shouldn't be allowed to vote. Which is what the majority of NRA members do.


I'm an NRA member and I don't care for Bush. The notion that someone shouldn't have the right to vote because of how they vote on one issue is absurd. I don't think I need to say more regarding that. It's a slippery slope and before you know it a steak knife is an assault weapon-ask the people across the pond.

QUOTE
Of all the issues at hand I can't fucking beleive that the right to bear arms comes up all the damn time. I feel we should have the right. I'm planning to buy an SW 460 or 500 revolver in the near future, but that right is the LEAST of my concern. And with things going on in this country now, it should be the LEAST of EVERYONES concern.


My rights as a human being are always my number one concern. I was born with the right to freedom and the right to defend myself. The Constitution does not grant me any rights (notice they are NOT privileges) it enumerates them. If someone comes to my door looking to disarm me, a law-abiding citizen, in the middle of a disaster there will be hell to pay. The news journalists have large corporations that have dipped into their pockets to hire armed security contractors to protect them in New Orleans. Obviously they don't feel the police have control of the situation, given their security guards, but they insist we lay down our arms. How is the poor man supposed to protect himself and his family? It's obvious that some people believe these rights only belong to certain people.

I know there will be a sh!tstorm because of this, but I haven't cussed anyone and was legitimately bringing up an issue that I feel is of great importance in this disaster.
