Please define a "now banned gun". It's a damn broad definition. Let's try enforcing the laws currently on the books before we discuss the possibility of "rounding up now banned guns", and "make owning them illegal". By the Feds definition, a Ruger 10-22 is an "assault weapon". I too have a concealed weapon permit, and will put my capability in handgun handling/safety up against any law enforcement people I know. What ruffles my feathers in discussions such as these, are opinions voiced by people who may not have the same appreciation for guns/gun safety that some of us do, but are more than willing to see them taken away from those of us with a passion for them. My '02 Z will go a damn sight faster than any posted speed limit in this country......should it be banned, or simply governed to a maximum speed of 70mph? Okay, my rant is over...I feel better now.....time to watch Washington and Dallas.

Bill...who would rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6.

Howdy,

Please define a "now banned gun". It's a damn broad definition. Let's try enforcing the laws currently on the books before we discuss the possibility of "rounding up now banned guns", and "make owning them illegal".

Um, I _did_ define it. It was hypothetically anything other than a three shot rifle or shotgun.

By the Feds definition, a Ruger 10-22 is an "assault weapon". I too have a concealed weapon permit, and will put my capability in handgun handling/safety up against any law enforcement people I know.

I'm not concerned about your ability to control your gun primarily as the mechanics are fairly simple, I'm concerned with your ability to judge when to deploy it and what to do when that happens (and tangentally how to prevent your attacker from getting your gun). You might be just great. Or you might be horrible. But chances are you've never been required to have training in that area even though you have a concealed permit.

What ruffles my feathers in discussions such as these, are opinions voiced by people who may not have the same appreciation for guns/gun safety that some of us do, but are more than willing to see them taken away from those of us with a passion for them.

? Did you read any of my posts? Certainly there are people that know plenty more about guns and related topics than I do, but I'm not someone that's never handled a gun, is afraid of guns, doesn't know anything about them, etc. I frankly enjoy shooting guns of all types and like to hunt occassionally. I just don't believe those hobbies should outweigh the issues related to non-hunting weapons.

My '02 Z will go a damn sight faster than any posted speed limit in this country......should it be banned, or simply governed to a maximum speed of 70mph? Okay, my rant is over...I feel better now.....time to watch Washington and Dallas.

When's the last time a z28 was used by a whacko to kill a group of people randomly? And, when you manage to find a situation that sorta resembles that, was the person intending that result or did they "just" lose control?

And frankly, your postscript there is the type of machismo that scares me about regular folks carrying guns in public. It indicates to me that you may very well not evaluate options other than deadly force when seriously confronted. That may well be wrong and you're talking tounge in cheek (and I very much hope that I'm reading more into the statement than is really there), but you hear it enough times and it starts to scare you.
