I know what I am talking about. There are laws against criminals owning guns. Period. The constitution provides a United States citizen that is not a criminal the right to bear arms, meaning guns...period. You are a crackpot. Period.

Who wants to make guns illegal? How about John Kerry and Ted Kennedy. They both have strong anti gun stances trying to take your second ammendmant rights away. I thought everyone knew that. Yes criminals are regulated against owning guns, my prior statemant was hinting at the idea of banning guns only takes the guns from everyone but the people using them for criminal activity. I'm sorry you have no idea what is happening around you. Period

The stuff regarding Australia is just plain Bull.
Its not as though we don't have guns now, we just can't buy automatic (full or semi) rifles, or pump action shotguns (unless you have a disability that makes reloading difficult).
And you can't just go and buy a gun any time you want. You need to have a genuine need for it. That means you have to be a member of a club, or go hunting or have a farm etc.

It sounds very much like our rules here in England, and if you read the Statistics they have been exagirated by a certain group of people, by going around and asking individuals on the street not getting the facts from the Authorities. of cause peole will say I know someone who knows someone who.....etc, it is human nature, and a lot of people exagerate. so how can this be fact.

Alice, Beef11 is not a crackpot - the Constitution can always be amended (it wouldn't be the first, nor will it be the last) to wipe out the rights provided by the 2nd Amendment - and that is what the gun control enthusiasts (for lack of a better word) are trying to do. So far, those amendments haven't passed - but that doesn't mean they won't in the future. Look at the Brady Bill - it requires a 10 day (I think) waiting period. When you consider that a person used to be able to walk into a gun shop, purchase a firearm, and take it home that day - isn't that a form of gun control? I agree that guns need to be kept out of the hands of criminals, but the fact of the matter (as far as I can tell, anyway) is that new laws on this matter are only going to affect law-abiding citizens and not the criminal element, because the criminal element purchase their guns through illegal channels, usually. I may be wrong on that, but I don't think so.
Guest25- Why do you get on every post i am on and just try and insult me? It seems this thread is about gun control. I don't see what you coming on hear looking for a chance at cheap shotting me has to do with firearms. Maybe you should make an attempt at pretending to care about the thread instead of trying to annoy.
Read your first post again you never mentioned guns
Never mentioned policy either, it seems like you jumped in and made some "crazy" "statements". For the record aren't you the guy who can't send PM's because you just harass people with them? How long till they ban you?

I know what you are saying, msscamp, and I agree with that. It's just that the statements made by Beef11 were made as absolutes. Of course amendments can be made to any of the rights in the bill of rights, but as of yet the right to bear arms is still with us. The Brady Bill targeted handguns, not long arms. Personally, I will never believe that the United States will "outlaw" guns; the law abiding citizens won't stand for it, and rightfully so. I also believe that absolute, crackpot statments such as Beef11 seems so intent on making cause more harm than good to the law abiding gun owner in keeping that right.

Here is a novel thought.Let's stop trying to take away rights of law-abiding citizens of one of the greatest nations on earth and,instead,punish severely those who choose to misuse their rights and infringe upon the rights of others to life and liberty.
They won't come out and take them all at once, it will be alittle at a time. The brady bill made it so you couldn't buy anything more than a ten round clip for your .22 made the rabbit hunters upset. Both handguns and rifles were affected by the Brady bill.
In most places it is. Try having a gun in your car in LA.
They are taking our 2nd amendmant rights away one piece at a time.

We have 1000s of gun laws on the books that aren't enforced now. If a criminal is in court for armed bank robery, no one cares that he should not have had the assualt rifle.
The only ones affected by laws are law abiding citizens.
Dealing in cocaine is illegal but the law does not stop the traffic, only law abiding people.
An armed population are citizen while unarmed are 'subjects'.
Ask the displaced white farmers of South Africa their views on fire arm registration.

Yes there was dictator and unrest but when they disarmed the people this is when they killings began.
You say you can not take on your countries Army? Well is not not what we did back a few hundred years ago when we individuals fought our Country's Army from England to gain our independence.
People all over the world for centuries have rose up to take on the controlling army and have been successful at it.
You look at it as One individual can not fight a whole army. But if you look at those numbers above they were not just one person killed it was thousands and millions, those kind of numbers can take a stand against their countries army. Not to mention once one group takes a stand like say those at the Alamo did then others will join in and come to the aid of righteousness, at least that is the way it is in the U.S.
We are not France, we will fight even if it seems we can not win. We do not give up our guns because of some bla bla bla well we can not win anyway so we might as well give up. Not in America! That is not the way we are made!
That is why we won back in 1700's against the strongest army of that time, we do not give up just because it is an up hill battle.
There is a reason we are the greatest and most powerful nation to ever walk the face of the earth. And we will stay that way as long as we can keep the Liberal views such as gun control out that have brought down so many countries around the world.

That would make too much sense, not to mention it may offend somebody. Not like it bothers me, I like offending people especially criminals.

personally i took the criminal own guns statement as a rather tounge in cheek approach, to dispel more laws!!
alice took it another way and and made comments, then guest25 decided to jump in the fray and both of them proceeded to whip a dead horse!
either you are for or against gun control, no middle ground!
