Gun Control ?

[gto109]

Chevyrado I agree if you regulate guns only criminals will have them.  I also agree that any violent crime should be punishable by death like they did in the old days.  This country has gotten soft in general.

I agree!
 How can taking my guns away make my family safer? I read a good one the other day, it said "The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun". Once we had to call the sheriff's dept about a crazy guy out here where we live and they NEVER even came!

The truth is that the authorities only come after a crime has been committed.

Yep. They come out to write reports and draw chalk outlines. Whose outline gets drawn is up to whomever is on scene when it counts.

If you depend on someone else to feed you, cloth you, house you, raise your kids, supply you with a phone, pay for your birth control, pay your power bill, supply you with transportation, supply your medical treatment and so forth... You are a slave....

Then there're a lot of slaves in the Netherlands.  Holland is very socialistic and hangs towards communism. We're not allowed to make a lot of money: 52% income tax, 21% sales tax, gas almost $10 a gallon and a lot more. Almost 75% of your income goes directly or indirectly to the government.
But if you do not like working, you can knock on the governments door and get paid. The payment is even more than if you would go working!! A lot of people are leaving the country because the difference between working or not working is to small.

And about guns. It is possible to have a gun in my country, but this is only possible if you're a member of a shooting range and keep your gun in a safe, mounted to a wall. Otherwise it is in possible to own a gun legally.. So actually you guys are lucky basterds

WOW.  How does your Country survive. when it sounds like it pays out more than it takes in? I can see why good honest hard working people would leave.  All this kinda sounds like New York. I still believe America is the best place in the world, but we our losing what made this country so great. The farther our Counrty goes towards Socialism the more freedoms we lose guys.

Well, that's exactly what I wanted to point out. My country takes a lot in too. Salaries are pretty high. Average higher then in the US, but our money to spend is less cause of all kinds of taxes.

Driving a car really is insanely expensive. For example: Cause of all the car taxes a new Camaro starts from $110.000 !!! You have to fill it up for $9,40 a gallon ($5,20 goes directly to the government) and you have to pay road taxes ($120,- a month).

I know, I'm stupid driving a '77 Brick but it's just fun driving something else.

I feel this is just a distraction to pull our focus from all the other real problems.  IF they did try to remove guns from the legal citizens there would be a revolt.  Ain't ever going to happen.  Of course now we aren't focused on the crazy insurance, the Government handing out arms, etc, etc...

"The natural progress of things is for liberty to yeild, and government to gain ground." - Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carrington, Paris, May 27, 1788

This progression needs to be interupted by men (and women) not capable of holding this great country's founding fathers' jock strap.

Bingo. Smoke and mirrors, to go with all the bread and circuses. Anyone else notice how sickeningly overboard the Super Bawl "entertainment" got with the whole "patriotism" thing? Seems like they figured an overdose of that would help people forget what's going on.

i'm not a gun carryer, but i am basically opposed to any new legislation concerning gun control because the vast majority of people who have guns use them legally, for legitimate purposes, don't commit crime with them, and have obtained them through legal means.


However, i would like to discuss the following:

In countries such as England(i think?) and China where guns are 100% illegal, do/can the criminals get guns?   Is it a problem over there?
