Ok, four death's in a 24 hour period, or 1460 people a year, or 0.000486% of the population. You would kill far more people by making them drive their guns down to the recycling center. 8/9/2006 4:47:06 PM

shotguns arent as easily handled or concealed. they also dont shoot as fast (i see where this is going, but you get the point).

yeah...its called responsiblity and good parenting...i learned gun safety when i was 9 or 10 years old...never had an accident...actually i did get an AR modified for .40 S&W...got it at a gun show in two different pieces so it would be cheaper...we were in my room testing how it loaded cartridges...put the mag in and let the slide go...three rounds let off into my stereo speaker...course i know never to point loaded guns at people unless i am willing to use them
is it mike judge's fault (creator of beavis and butthead) that a kid burned down his house? or perhaps slack parenting?
^^also i've seen 30 round barrel magazines on remington 870 pumps...dude shot off 30 rounds in like 12 seconds
but the POINT is...if you take away one kind of gun from criminals (which is impossible in the first place) they will use the next thing
or maybe they will resort to more strangulation and bludgeoning and stabbing] 8/9/2006 5:04:30 PM

Since I don't own a gun, obviously I don't feel a need to replace my penis.
If I lived in another area, then I would see the desire to purchase a gun for protection.
Along with other purposes, as pointed out above, for hunting.
Then theirs the whole reason why it was put in the Constitution to begin with (yes, before you start, that was their intention you douche) - to protect people from their governments. 8/9/2006 5:05:24 PM

You can not extend even the losest interpretation of the 2nd amendment to hand guns. They were clearly talking about long guns.
