As has become the norm for us, I mostly agree. The main difference between our positions is that it's illogical to not make law because of the idea that some people won't obey them. Use a different scenario and apply the same logic. For instance: we shouldn't make a law against stealing because theives are going to do it anyway. All it would do is prevent honest people from being able to take things.
I've stated before, and I believe it wholeheartedly, restricted access to certain weapons is necessary. The question is only who gets to determine which weapons should be restricted. Politicians are inept, weak and easily bought. Why is it that we here on this board can figure things out in a civil manner, but they can't? I'm perfectly fine with a person who holds a FFL having access to all sorts of things the general public doesn't. I happen to think assault weapons should be on that list as well.
We can and they can't because;
We are civil, of good character, have the super power of common sense, and try to live life with fairness and equality, as is represented by the vast majority here.
Politicians, lol, as we know are a majority of self serving bastards. For sale to the highest bidder, and keep the benefits and money coming.
As for assault weapons restrictions, those of us who disagree tend to do so because; it just takes away another right, and opens the door to remove more.
As we who have and do shoot responsibly know that just as much damage can be done with handguns, hunting rifles, and shot guns.
This is in a coward's shooting rampage.
Which of course is not a level playing field, because no one is shooting back.
If one army has handguns and the other has assault rifles, the guys with the handguns are at huge disadvantage, obviously.
But, if you have a handgun and they have nothing.....we know the result.
The AR15 has been overhyped by the media to the point to where it just became the copy cat shooters preffered weapon. No other reason. The facts of it's capabilities really don't matter with an inexperienced shooter.
And an experienced shooter can hit as many targets as they have ammo for, regardless of what type of gun.
Unfortunately, there is no simple solution.
The govt continues to try and put us all in the same box.
I for one of many am tired of this stupid politically correct, you hurt my feelings, I deserve whatever I want mentality of the vast majority today, especially young people, and the mofo's direspecting our military.
They are the real problem.
They are liberals and democrats of DC(not the democrats of yesteryear that used to represent the working class).
There are enough crazys out there to help DC scum(both parties)push agendas.
But the far left are thugs and sissies hell bent on destroying our rights. All for socialism and freebies, and scary guns don't fit in their line of thinking.
Give the govt and inch and they'll take a mile.
