Gun control laws do they work ?

[RTHolmes]

there's hundreds I've met that I would rather shoot in the face than have them watch my back.

psychopath much?

What's that old saying about never argue with an idiot? :-)

I have a bowl of soup to stop the Government
I have a gun to stop the  the Government

Because you own a gun does not make you important or empower you, all it means is you own a gun.

The Government will not force its will on you it has no need to, it knows what you are doing, counting your bullet's and looking under your bed for reds

I would laugh but I am jealous really because I would like a Thompson, not to fight society, but to make aloud noise with it.

You are all paranoid about loosing your 4x4 as well Ford,GM and Chrysler must be laughing their spuds off, biggest selling pitch they have ever had.

Its the same with Gun manufacturers they have never had it so good, your paranoia has increased gun sales

You're entitled to your opinion, & even to voice it. I'm free to know you're you're wrong, no matter how you many ways you attempt to restate your it.  The British didn't think too much of our forefathers either.

ok so you want people to respect your right to the second amendment while you try to intimidate others who exercise their first amendment right.

Uh Guncrasher...look at the emoticons....everyone else knew it was a joke.  On the other hand if people would join those who would strip us of our rights....they should be intimidated. Fear of the populace is the ONLY thing that has kept this country free this long....So, I guess it doesn't have to be a joke, even though it was. Take your pick. I don't care.  No one who does not attack me or violate the constitution in an effort to abuse myself, my family, my friends has any reason to fear me. Criminals(ie: anti-constitutionalists, thieves, druggies, murders) & should be fearful that their actions may bring harm to them, no matter where they sit in our society or how powerful they feel.

We like making noise & shooting things making them blow up. The only time we talk about use of deadly force is when people try to say we don't have any right...yadda yadda yadda. I've been shooting targets, 2 liter bottle full of water/frozen, etc. for a long time. I believe it is an inalienable right....end of my story. No blood lust or wishes for violence here. I've had my share....but that doesn't mean I can't/won't defend myself.

psychopath much?

No. I just know that someone like a Corporal I knew once, would be very prone to dropping grenades, or seeing if they could fire a .223 round without using their rifle is a threat to everyone. A psychopath would want to kill everyone, not just the ones who would pretty much get your convoy smoked.

Example: On a patrol, hit by an IED. Convoy stops.

 Vic commander says he's gonna get out. He doesn't check around him for pressure plates etc. That's a BIG no no. Why? Because he could get out, step on an IED and blow the entire vehicle up and I have a BIG problem with that seeing as how I'm sticking out of the turret. Not only does he just hop out and look around at the mountains, he starts walking around the vehicle to go to the vic behind us and not once looks at his surroundings. He could have unknowingly set off a daisy chain and killed 70% of the convoy. Did my entire vic want to smoke him? Yes. Did we? No.

Fun tip: In Korea, they think in order to be a U.S. Marine, you have to kill an immediate family member. They think we're psychopaths. It's great.
Another tip: In Afghanistan, they think we have to eat our first born child alive in order to be a Marine. They also think we're psychopaths. Works great because the Taliban will try to AVOID USMC patrols and hit ARMY patrols instead.

psychopath much?

BTW: Pathetic use of an Ad hominem.

one more reason why we need sarcasm font.  and by the way the government is not afraid of the public even those who dont own guns.  they're only afraid of those who will stop giving them a lot of money to lie to us.

Teapots require Biscuits - I like fig biscuits and custard creams

All your forefathers were English middlclass Puritans

The Crucible is a good book as well, lots of angry people in that as well

   Before WW2 the British Government passed many gun laws banning most rifles and pistols unless you could get a license to own with proof of a verified need to own. After the Battle of Dunkirk the British troops barely made it back to england but left most of thier equipment behind. An Invasion was a very real possibility and the country was woefully illequiped to repel it.

   The request for small arms was sent to a friend of England across the pond and the Citizens of that Free Nation gave generously. Thankfully this Nation had many factories that were producing many arms during peacetime and was able to retool supplying the needed war materials.

   Do not worry friends across the pond we will be ready again when the need is great with our weapons, factories and experienced Riflemen to stem the tide of evil that gains strength while some grow weak.

Not to mention the arms supplied by American individuals who donated some of their own rifles and pistols.
