You're missing the point. What purpose do silencers, hollow point bullets, and AK-47's serve with respect to the second amendment?
saden1 07-16-2007, 06:24 PM Can public and private institutions declare their premises gun free zone (schools, transit stations, etc)?
jdlea 07-16-2007, 10:57 PM But people are naturally petrified of death, so if you pull the gun first, it may give you the time to flee the scene. If they reach for one, and you pick one of them off, the others aren't going to reach in fear for their life.
If you want to take that risk, you can be my guest. Also, most people who pull a gun on you don't really mean you much harm, so all putting more guns in people's hands is going to do is get more people shot. People will think they can get a shot off when someone asks for their wallets.
Also, you're not always allowed to carry a gun. As I remember, Steve McNair was charged with something for having a gun in his car when he was intoxicated at one point.

Yes, Jose Canseco had something in his book about how he was arrested for possessing a legal gun on some school's property. The gun was legal, however, it was illegal for him to have it where he did.

You keep saying "putting more guns in peoples hands". The people who want guns, already have them. There are no proposed laws to give guns to anyone, there are only talks of getting rid of guns.

I'm saying that skinsfan_nn saying that everyone should have guns is a stupid idea. His point was that everyone should have guns, my point is that not everyone should have/carry guns.
Btw, I'm actually a fan of guns, I don't own one, but I have considered purchasing one for sometime. However, even if I were purchase one, it won't be leaving my home. It will be for protecting my home and that's it. I won't be carrying it around in case I end up outnumbered on the street one day...

I guess if you can ban smoking you can ban guns...hoary for the constitution.
Lady Brave 07-16-2007, 11:11 PM I do think the number of handguns a person can own should be limited. This of course would not apply to antiques, curios and relics. They're not subject to either the gun control act or brady act.
If you're coming into my office and getting 10 handgun purchase permits every other month, you should be forced to get some sort of collector's license.
dmek25 07-16-2007, 11:28 PM and what exactly would that accomplish? other then the county that person lives in getting more money? it does nothing to control the amount of guns one person owns.

Huh? Are you talking to me? If so, collector's licenses are issued by the feds, not the state.
