Question on gun control

[cbbama99]

OK, I figured this would be as good a pacle to ask this question as any. I was having a discussion with the wife about guns recently. I am not currently a gun owner, but I plan to rectify that situation in the months ahead. I am very much opposed to laws abridging the right to own a weapon, but I have always hesitated on the idea of assault weapons. My personal thought is that I can't understand why a civilian would need one; however, I am also not certain that someone should be PROHIBITED from owning one. So, I throw it open to everyone here, what are your thoughts on owning such weaponry? I ask this for knowledge because I honestly don't know.

To me first off, this person or persons should have had proper training with a weapon of this magnitude. I in no shape or form think weapons should be taken away from free Americans. RTR!

Your questions is really where to draw the line.

Assault weapons?

Tommy Guns?

Hand Grenades?

Poison Gas?

Tanks?

Atomic Bombs?

The line has to be drawn somewhere.

My personal opinion is that if it isn't needed for hunting, then it's only added purpose is to kill multiple persons in a quick and efficient manner, something I don't mind keeping out of the hands of today's citizens.

”A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.”

-George Washington

Hand guns - yes
Shot guns - yes
Hunting rifles - yes
Antiques & collectibles - yes

Assault weapons - no

I like the idea of limiting the clip size. I see no need to fire 50 or 100 shots with one pull of the trigger.

I think this is where I stand on this as well.

Literally that would require nuclear arms for your average citizen.

Not necessarily.  Kind of hard for any government to nuke their own country and survive.

the AR's that a citizen can buy will not shoot but one time per trigger pull


if you do not have a gun now I suggest you buy one , you know before it's to late  







gun guide .... 

[XBAMA]

so nobody will think I am being a jackwagon smart azz
I'd like to explain ...

some of you may know , the M16A1 was built by Armalite in the 1950's
then later by Colt , the AR15 was what it was called , a scaled down
AR10 , the AR did not stand for Assault Rifle the AR stood for "Awesome Rifle"
and no the first versions were not made by the Mattel toy company

 



there are some  other misconception on "assault rifles"   

examples ....





same rifle with a 25 round clip



same rifle with a tactical kit on it



as you can see the rifle goes from a regular looking not so intimidating
look to the "oh my God an assault rifle" look !
same exact gun  , same exact power just one looks way more
intimidating than the others , same gun though ...

I equate it to putting a set of mags and wide tires  on a car
and maybe a racing stripe and window tint to give a "a look"
is the car any faster ? no , it just looks better ...


I shoot a lot ... have my whole life , taught my kids to shoot
my oldest son was on a security detail for Pres. Bush on 9/11 only
because of his marksmanship abilities , my youngest son is a
better shot than him  ...

I taught them about guns and how to properly shoot one and maintain
one. right now we shoot about 1000 rounds a week normally , rain or shine .

if you do decide to buy a gun make sure you know how to use it , clean it
and service it .
not sure what experience you have under your belt with firearms
but if you don't know , ask someone that does . most people I know
that shoot will be more than happy to give you pointers .
or if you go to a range , ask the range master for tips .

there are several types of shooting you can get into
rifles , pistols , shotguns , long range , short range and the list goes on
we do them all , lately we have been practicing on the 300 yard stuff
with the rifles .
we have a great time and it is also a great stress reliever 

ps , always wear eye and ear protection   , it's a must
you can get the ESS eye-wear kit , the same ones the USMC issues
to the Marines fairly reasonable online 
we use the ICE series Click here for link

not trying to but into your biz , just trying to help

I don't know about cb but I still haven't bought a gun.  Just can't pull the trigger.

I will say this as a veteran I think you have the right to choose any weapon you would like to have for your own. I say this with the same idea as above you this is not be ruthless toward someone just for the fun or thieving, or etc. A lot of good men/women died for your right of the 2nd Amendment. RTR!
