[QUOTE="E-Rock, post: 7407154, member: 628334"] If this is a serious topic, I could really go on for awhile about gun control. It is something I feel very strongly about. You just need to know that the Right to Bear Arms is the SECOND amendment, not the 10th, 15th, 20th or so on, the founding fathers felt it was important to have ownership of weapons right behind freedom of religion and speech. Governments can't really enslave you when you and a whole population are packing all kinds of firearms. Another thing to note is that the politicians pushing for gun control and the ones who make the restrictive laws have no real expertise in firearms. Some politicians think they are going to try and make us safe while others just want absolute power over the people. When they bring up, "the founding fathers didn't expect people to have grenade launchers and machine guns!!!" I call BS. During the American Revolution many of the "WMD's" of the time were the cannons, mortars and naval vessels and guess what, most of them were privately owned. That means that people owned them not just the government. Another thing, the media likes to say "Assault Weapon" or assault rifle. It is extremely difficult and expensive to fill out the paper work in process in order to buy a Class 3 NFA firearm. People should be allowed to own semi-auto handguns and rifles with normal capacity magazines in order to keep criminals and the gov't fearful. Those pushing for gun control use their emotions and fear tactics to push their agenda. There is nothing to be worried about when it comes to guns. Those columbine kids could have just gotten a car, loaded it up with barrels of homemade napalm and crashed them into the school still causing mayhem. "Oh no maybe we should ban cars and gasoline!" /endrant. I'm obviously not very busy today. If you do want to learn more I suggest you browse a gun forum like THR, thefiringline, arfcom, calguns, etc... they are very helpful and take this ish seriously. [/QUOTE]
