QUOTE(hunter362436 @ Dec 30 2007, 03:34 PM) You read stuff that isn't even there, and narrow other statements down to suite your opinion lol. And no, not everyone should be able to carry a weapon, or even own one and anyone that thinks so is a major idiot. You want a convicted Felon to be able to carry a concealed weapon? How 'bout to even own a gun. If you say no, then you are yapping out of both sides of your mouth, because doesn't the looneys on the hill dictate that already? Just because I think the Boys on the hill are idiots, that doesn't mean EVERY decision they make is bad/incompetent, just most of them lol. You just seem like one of those radical NRA folks/supporters that you just can't discuss this topic with, and I WAS an NRA member, so I will give you the pleasure of the last reply or a game ow twister with my words, I am going to bail on you for this topic. I'll still support gun owners, shoot guns also, but not everyone has the right to a concealed weapons permit. The radical right of any special interest group gives the whole group a black eye. Have a good/safe new years. Put on your thinking cap for a minute and see what you are actually saying. First off, the government doesn't give it's citizens the right to bear arms. That right is given to you ,and everyone else, in the Constitution.Now, follow along carefully here. Since the government doesn't GIVE you that right, it can't take it away. How much clearer can that be? It doesn't matter what a certain group of people think, want or feel, the Constitution is the law of the land. The politicians, judges and the Supreme Court are sworn to uphold those laws. They are not in the business of emotions, feelings, or personal beliefs, even thou some people wish they were. Their job is to uphold the Constitution, period. Now, obviously, you'd like to change that fact. Then change the Constitution. If you, and the people who believe as you do, can't do that, then just piss and moan and keep being ineffective in trying to change the law. There is nothing "radical" or "Right Wing" about upholding the Constitution. Anything that deviates from those principles should be considered radical. My opinion is that it's really presumptuous for you to think you know better than the Founding Fathers what rights the citizens of the United States should be entitled to.

QUOTE(ddd35 @ Dec 30 2007, 04:10 PM) WELCOME TO RATE MY MELONS ..get used to the above sentence if you choose to stay ... Lol, been here for a while, just don't post to often. Still hard to believe people think that EVERYONE should be able to carry a gun. Yep, good feeling to know there are people that rob banks, rape, child abusers, people being treated for brain disorders, walking down the street with a 9mm under their coat. How would that make you feel safer. Some you ask that very question to, and they avoid the answer.

If you look back a couple of posts you'd see this statement: Carrying a weapon is a serious responsibility. For the people not willing to accept that responsibilty, deny them access to weapons. Prosecute those who misuse them and leave everyone else alone. I'm not sure how you read that as me saying EVERYONE should walk around armed. That's not avoiding your question, that's answering it. And, just so you know, in countries where owning a weapon is more difficult, banks still get robbed, child abuse is just as prevelent, and women still get raped.

QUOTE(misschickie @ Jun 28 2008, 02:52 AM) I am not against owning guns at all skull (we have them in our house), but when you know some kid who has been shot accidentally, and the way it rips apart a family with a tragic death at the age of 18, you might think differently on the trigger lock thing. Virtually useless does not equal completely useless. babe I would agree , people that dont lock up there guns in some fashion and have kids around is just not right , I own close to 40 guns i have a large browning gun vauklt that they are all locked in , I keep one in a small safe by my bed for intruders and it is locked all the time , My reasoning for having that many is im a collector and a avid hunter .. anyway ..safety first is our motto .. Anybody got a rubber I can borrow ?
