Re: Gun Control Thread- Should we?

Goodness you gunnies are defensive about all this. The mere mention that reducing gun ownership in this country somehow unequivocally amounts to advocating gun control? Not what I meant.


I think part of the problem is that people like me, who doesn't own a gun, think the amount of guns this country has shows a problem. Understand this...when I say "reduce" I mean get our country to naturally not want to own over half the guns in the world. My gut is that taking guns from them isn't the way to achieve that.

It's the misuse of the guns, not the amount.

Eric Holder: Gun Owners Should 'Cower' in Shame Like Smokers | NewsBusters.org

This is kind of like the 1990's Carlton Banks version of Eric Holder.

But instead of brain washing people to view gun owners like cigarette smokers, perhaps the government should lead by example/action. Why do police departments need military weapons? I would be supportive of a ban that reserved military weapons for the..... military, while empowering private citizens to defend themselves with the capability equal to that of local and federal law enforcement.

I agree it would be preferable to live in a country/world where people dont want to own guns, even though they can. Maybe one day we live in a world where people dont want guns, but that will likely only happen when we live in a world where people dont need guns.
