Thread: What are everyones opinions about that new bill. ?

Lol, Astromark! I'm middle-aged. I have yet to flip out and buy a red sports car, or a pistol, to re-establish my masculinity.

@ Mugaliens: My prior post was, at minimum, cynical, in an attempt at playing devil's advocate. I can't argue against the points you made.

I don't own a gun, I know a lot about them, as well intimate knowledge of explosives, and primitive weaponry. I fully support ownership by the people. However, I would recommend a full psychological evaluation of individuals before their purchase is approved. Of course, then I could go on a rant about how full of sh*t I think psychology is as a science. The point here is, you leave me very uncomfortable with your staunch declaration of *sanity*, sir.

Someone close to me in my family owns over 400 guns, and months of ammo for each of them. He is NOT sane, and would fight you for suggesting he isn't. Just sayin'.

I'm not afraid of saying I'm nuttier than a loon. Those who know me say I'm "eccentric". Aren't they sweet? Nonetheless...

Schizoid? Oh yes we are. We allowed it to go this far.

This bill flies in the face of a statement made by president Eisenhower, that allowing the U.S. military to grow more powerful than the people, will be the death of the country where it stands.

Oops, decades later, we never listened. Too late, now what?

Ten years from now when the feces hits the turbine, you'll find me covered in mud and branches with a blow gun, crossbow, and improvised explosives. Who's crazy? I'll declare it a mid-life crisis.

That would be an argument I'm sure you'd lose. I've known hundreds of people carrying guns all their life, and the *only* time they've used them against other people is when they were in the military.

Education is the best answer yet.

Amen to that.

... I would be happy to loose that argument.. I wonder if you all find fault with;

We make adjustments. Mental computations to the changing world we are part of...

Some are good at it some not.. Education, conditioning, and brain washing programs noted..

People whom ought to be in a asylum are returned to the community and main streamed.

Some of these nut bar crazies own guns.. Thats a problem that this conversation will not fix.

The right of the 'normal citizen' to protect his own is a 'right'.. I would fight for..

That we celebrate a day of remembrance for all those whom have died for this right.. I solute.

Making the right adjustment to the ever changing values, difficult at best, a worry.

I do not own a firearm.. But I do own a BLUE sports car.. Oh dear me... what does that tell ya ?
