[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ritten: [qb]A) No, you see I was an infantryman for 10 years, so I have been trained to use these fun little things you call 'guns'... I haven't been to a gun show in all my years, so that's out.... B)So have have watched all of these weapons systems while on guard duty, in the field, etc... Never has one killed anyone, much like you can watch a rake. It won't rake anything without some help... C)No, I don't own a weapon, except for kitchen cutlery... I can't say I like them anymore, but I [i]<U>[b]HATE[/b][/i]</U> the idea of forcing ones will upon another.... D)Speaking of which, you make the insinuation I am a Nazi,or believe some sort of Nazi propaganda, and [b]you[/b] want to control the way people behave and what they can and can not own??? [/qb][/QUOTE]A) You were in the MILITARY! There are so many controlls and safeguards aganst weapons going missing or being misused that it negates the point. I'm not speaking about the military, they by definition, need guns to prorect and serve- as do police officers. I'm talking about civilians owning firearms. B)See point A), but any inanimate object has the same properties: it's the hotheads and nutjobs in the general populace that should be restricted in their ability to have firearms. I live in a state where it's easy to geta concealed weapons permit (at least prior to 9/11) but totally illeagal to carry a pocket knife with a blade longer than the width of your palm! Senseless. C)I agree with that sentiment, and I'm not advocating governmental control (something I loathe)but you don't feel that a gun is required to protect yourself, so why should others? Fear and firearms is very bad combonation. Lots of people buy a handgun after being involved or hearing of a dangerous situation: a lot of gun accidents start off that way. There's not even a standardized gun-locking mechanism law from state to state-thanks to the NRA. What a bunch of swell guys. D)No, I don't think you're a nazi and I meant no personal offense. If you've ever been to a gun show, you'd see guys waving the nazi flag all over and buying LOTS of high powered ordanince that has no use other than killing humans. Nobody hunts a deer with a submachine gun or needs one to protect his home. The "Red dawn" crack was a bit out of line, but that's exactly the kind of mentality these gun show pyschos have. I certainly DO want to control at LEAST the kinds of guns people can own! Whats wrong with that: we already have numerous half-assed weapons restrictions that don't work. Again, I see no good reason for anyone to have a assult rifile. That is not "full auto" but can be converted with an easily obtainable kit from those shows amkes it even scarier. Would you feel safe if you new neighbors has those kinds of weapons? Not me, man. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
