1 & 2 shot hunting rifles DON'T kill humans? CAN'T kill humans?

If I'm off to kill somebody, I'll take a 1 or 2 shot hunting rifle over a 50 Caliber ANY day!

A hell of a lot harder to conceal than handguns.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

It has to do with the enormous amount of handgun violence in America. A 50 caliber gun would be a bit difficult to conceal.

You don't think I can conceal a hunting rifle in my car or truck?

You don't think that if I want a gun, I'll be able to get it - regardless of whether it's legal or illegal?



You might want to apply the same logic you apply to the legality issue of marijuana to gun control. "Make them all illegal, and you'll only increase the price and increase crime to boot."

For the EXACT same reason that increasing the price of drugs is bad.

It leads people to steal and commit other crimes in order to get their "fix".

How much of our freedom will we surrender to the 'War on Terror'?
any gun to the enemy is a terror

the government is YOUR enemy

they are in TERROR that you still have them

THEY will be at PEACE once you NO LONGER do have them

all part of the humanistic Babylonian Religious system they are instilling upon the masses under our very noses

They want YOU to be pure SHEEPLE

they use the media to brainwash you
the preachers to lie and brainwash you
the Schools to brainwash you
All sources of information that comes to you today is to get you to become a sheeple

BBBBAAAahhhh

They want you to fall in line and worship them as a god.

Plain and simple.

Guns are a threat to them. No One Else.

Baal priests teach you to bow down to Government God

know your enemy

the state is your enemy

they have usurped YOUR RIGHTS

the candle is almost OUT

WTF are you smoking? Either way I'm thinking we agree that banning guns is bad . You ban one thing, you start banning more. Look at England. First handguns had to be put in special government lockers when not in use. 2 years later, they banned handguns entirely.

Everyone in Flordia and Texas carries guns in their vehicles, the main thing being THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE about carrying them. They know not to use them willy-nilly, and don't. Most of the gun crimes are caused by people illegally obtaining firearms.

Preventing legal people from getting them won't stop the illegal sale of firearms. They aren't that hard to smuggle into the country.

Case in point, as stated above: DC has most restrictive gun laws, but still has the highest gun violence in the country (for seperate reasons). Texas has much lower gun violence, and has much less regulation.

Conclusion: The correlation between gun ownership and gun violence is at a maximum the same as the correlation between video games and becoming a mass-murderer.
If the opposite of pro is con, what is Congress?
