Another example of how the US is idiotic

[Angelsjunky]

The resistance to gun control. Such stupidity - our ridiculous obsession with guns and the out-dated second amendment.

[arch stanton]

I agree that there is a ridiculous obsession with guns. Other people's obsessions with my guns is starting to get on my nerves. If you want it, come and get it.

[Blarg]

People wanted healthcare and finally after years of demanding it got the ACA.

 

People should demand less of their government.

two things that need to change:

1. improve background checks and make sure mental health checks are part of it

2. find ways to reduce the number of illegal weapons that are out there on the loose

I'm the one who's minding his own business while you feed your desperate urge to control the actions of other people.

Obama is right about the fact that it's impossible to get even the tiniest gun control measures through congress. And it's really all because hard line gun rights supporters fail to understand shades of grey. You won't get any Republicans to vote for a hypothetical bill that limits magazine capacities to ten rounds because the hard line gun rights people in their district will say, "That guy is pro gun control." Thus, that politician is immediately placed in the camp of "Wants to take my guns away". Unfortunately, there is no space in the conservative voting world for a "Wants to enact reasonable safety measures" camp. If you're a Republican politician, you only have to choices. You're either the guy that wants no change in regulations, or you're the guy that wants to ban guns completely. Obviously, they are forced to choose the former, given their constituency.

What makes you think removing guns from everybody's hands would change anything? 

 

People who want to kill will find other ways to successfully pull it off.   I'm far more concerned about the alternatives because they can be disguised in ways that nobody will think twice about.  Take away their guns and they'll return to the classroom or a movie theater with a pressure cooker bomb concealed in a backpack, just like the Boston marathon. 

 

There's also plenty of chemical weapons that can be made with readily available household chemicals.

I have guns, so what. They haven't been used in the commission of a crime and I don't plan on using them for that. I enjoy shooting them and have no intent on giving up my right because some people don't like them. Some people don't like our other items in the Bill of Rights so we should let them go too? With that said I agree that there are a lot of people that should not own a gun at all. How do you know the people in those pics aren't good and decent citizens?

exactly. if i want a nuke, i'm getting a nuke.

Angelswin.com. Where we jump to extremes in just a few posts.

[TobiasFunke]

If he said he wanted a AK47 would that have been extreme?

[Jason]

Yes that is exactly what I'm saying. Seriously, why do you have an issue with me owning my firearms? Edited June 12, 2014 by Angels N Skins

[Kevin]

In my opinion no it would not. Big difference between a semi automatic weapon and a nuke. Obviously measures need to be taken to help fix the problem but both sides are guilty of taken things to the extreme i.e. nukes.

If an AK isn't extreme then would him going out and buying a 50 cal.?

 

My point is who defines extreme? And I think Schil's point is all of this shit is extreme.

[Schildog]

my point is if i wanted to own a nuclear weapon, it should be protected under the second amendment because it's an arm. not that i actually want one, or even a hand gun (i'm secure in my penis size). it's a logical argument against the 2nd amendment, which is sited so often,  by using an extreme example. why can't i own a nuke if the bill of rights says i have the right to arm myself?

[mtangelsfan]

Using an extreme to make an argument is the lazy man's way out.

 

Easiest thing to do in a discussion but has zero value in a true debate.

[Schildog]

It is afforded to me under the second amendment, just like assault rifles which aren't extreme apparently.

[Adam]

I wasn't sure how I felt about this issue until now.

[TobiasFunke]

I just want to have flash bangs. Can I buy those at a gun show (that's a serious question)?

[Skram]

No Tobias.  I think the government classifies them as destructive devices, which is basically the ATF's way of telling you hell no,  but I don't think any manufacturer would sell to anything but military and law enforcement, anyway. 

[Jason]

Americans aren't afforded the right to own guns for offensive purposes. That's not why I own mine. I'm not an extremists either
