I'd prefer people just use the voting booth if they want to change governments.

what do we ban....
just a little perspective is nice.
Right, a docment drafted when towns were still getting burned down by Indians.
I'm starting to put the Constitution literalists in the same camp as the biblical literalists. Pretty similar ways of thinking it seems. Appeal to authority, rejection of any reasoned criticism or argument. The President was actually wise to lump gun nuts and god nuts together a few years ago.
IIRC we banned Al-Qada, Osama Bin Laden, Iraq, and Afghanistan. So yeah, I'd say we took that one pretty seriously.
How does one set fire to a train? Isn't an accelerant necessary?
Sounds like you agree that it's the people who are dangerous, not the weapons.
Glad we agree.

No. You dont fire a warning shot. If you need to draw your weapon to defend yourself you had better put that round on target. Shoot the target until there isn't a threat.One shot in the air and point the gun at them? A gun should be a deterrent first, and a weapon second.
He probably used the rifle because it held more bullets, and he could aim better. I'm not a gun expert, but surely you can aim better from 20-30 feet with a rifle than with a handgun. Anyways, the point with that type of rifle is they're not used for hunting, and they're not used for carrying around or hiding under your pillow. So why have them at all?
Pontifex, said that there are numerous people walking around with guns that have not attacked me. I agree there are numerous people with guns that have not attacked me but I have no reason to trust that they never will either.
I was trying to point out a scenario where if you lived by a convicted criminal that did you no harm, would you trust them? Like most gun owners, I would not.
My point is, I don't trust most gun owners due to the current protocols, or lack thereof, of obtaining a gun. I have no problem with using guns for recreation. I just don't like most of the people using those guns for recreation. I've been to shoot skeet before and the jackasses carrying their shotguns over their shoulders is disgusting. I've seen too many people being lax with firearms that I just don't trust everyday citizens with them.
After reading a lot of posts I have come to the conclusion that the whackjobs in this thread aren't the responsible gun owners.
