He needs to gain some weight so that thing doesn't knock him back as much. Someone get that man a sandwhich!

I got a .38 taurus revolver, 9mm beretta (15rounds) 14/clip + 1/chamber. & a 12-gauge...thats all you need.

And i agree everyone buying a gun should have to pass a training course in gun safety.

Now, who was whining about Americans not having "freedom" just yesterday?

Trust me last thing you mother fuckers want is your guns to get banned!
That Leave you 100% Exposed to tryanny by anyone who has a gun.
Police, military, robber, enemy...etc
--
Banning Guns will Be Americas Worst Nightmare!
--
The Military could walk right in and take control of all of america.
And no one could defend themselves or family from the takeover!
--
The Right to bear arms is a constitutional right!
You cannot over-ride that! Its impossible!
Its there to protect your from government getting out of control!
--
Dont give them up!!
EVER!!!

Fuck - It's Phil Mitchell with a gun!

And thats the only reason any of you should need for owning a gun.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people... <i>Guns just give them a very, very effective way to do it</i>

Drugs are illegal, but if someone wants them, they will find a way to get them. It would be the same for guns. Then all the people who want to play by the rules can sit back like a bunch of suckers and let some crackhead decide their fate.

There has to be a better solution, possibly increased safety training?

Yup, make sure everyone knows proper handling procedures, how to load & unload a gun, how to check & make sure the chamber is empty everytime they put their hands on it.

Proper use of the safety mechanisms, proper storage & cleaning.

These things should be taught to everyone wanting to buy a handgun or rifle ...period.

I remember a story about a surgeon who specialized in spinal cord injuries. He want to a medical conference in another country and toward the end voiced a complaint that the conference seemed ignore spinal injuries caused by trauma related to gunshot wounds. The other doctors stared at him blankly. One of them said, "I have never seen a gunshot wound." Most of the other doctors nodded in agreement.

What the pro-gun lobby has yet to explain is whether it is just the availability of guns which makes them a common weapon of choice here in the US, or is it just that Americans are particularly inept at handling guns, or is it the fact that crooks feel they need to be armed because they are likely to run into much more than a billy club or can of pepper spray?

One thing is for sure: Gunshot wounds and deaths are much more common in the US than in any other country which isn't in a wartime situation.

Why is that?

My question is...in other countries, when they call up people & draft them for a war..how do they expect them to know how to use a rifle? 8 weeks of basic training? :1orglaugh

Without guns you are a sheep, remember that.

yes. your handgun (maybe two, one in each hand) will surely stop the military if they're motivated to attack you. because the military is that incompetent.

yep.

I would love to see any invading power try to waltz through the American rural areas. Where there are more guns than people. And people there KNOW how to use them. It would be a bloodbath.

Wolveriiiiines!

Sure would... hundreds of thousands of hillbillies staring at the skies in amazement, trying to dodge the thousands of bombs falling on their heads.

And from what country would they be landing & re-fueling their bombers? :1orglaugh

a ton of history has been changed with 1 rifle. or 1 pistol ( jfk, lincoln, King )

I just heard this morning of a friend - his wife was shot last night by some idiot. This was a totally unprovoked attack - he just wanted to mug her, but decided to kill her as well.

They had a young family - two children...

I think it is time this infantile "wild west" shit was terminated - along with guns.

If you are a law-abiding citizen purchasing a gun and license for legitimate use such as self-defense or recreation, I don't see why you would object to a mandatory training class. Sure, it might seem like a hassle, but it seems like a small price to pay.

Shit happens, don't let your wife walk home alone at night.

I think any law abiding gun owner would have absolutely no issue with that whatsoever.

In fact, i'm about to get a concealed permit, that allows me to carry a handgun anywhere i want (except for a bank or church).

It's funny though, the one place i can't carry or own my handgun (Washington D.C.) is one of the most dangerous places in America. On a daily basis during the summertime its fairly typical to see a dead body covered in plastic wrap with cops standing around collecting evidence from a shooting.

pr0:

*Shit happens, don't let your wife walk home alone at night.*

Oddly she was not alone and in what supposed to be a safe area with two friends.

also....thre are way too many people on the earth as it is. if a few weaker people get weeded out its better for the whole.

If a country had the power to invade the US, they most likely would also have technology equal to that of the US... in other words, it wouldn't even matter what country they were from, their planes would reach you.

*if a few weaker people get weeded out its better for the whole.*

You the first in the queue?? Grow up

so many stupid americans get caught/fined/turned back trying to cross the border with guns in their cars. that's despite the big signs at most border crossings that essentially say "no guns"!

people will use whatever is at hand. in the states it's guns. in canada and other civilized countries i expect its knives etc.

You are so 100% right...that is seriously funny...

I agree, so lets get rid of guns, since those only help the weak.

punkworld:

You think they need technology to "invade"? Get a feeling it is far easier than that somehow :-)

Agreed, but you were talking about carpet bombing. In order to carpet bomb you have to use your huge bomber fleets that constantly need to be re-loaded with 500-5000lb bombs. You can't exactly bring over 1,000,000 tons of bombs on an aircraft carrier, nor can you land a bomber on one.

But yes percision bombing & cruise missle attacks can be launched from a sea based platform, & from long range bombers.

So get your shit straight :thumbsup hehe

i'm not really sure what pr0 meant by that... i mean, why would the US government land elsewhere to fuel to bomb US citizens? i don't get it.

Try it bitch

pr0 loves the cock

What country are you and your friend from?

Yes I was tree... I have seen this elsewhere.. just takes a group of idiots and they can "achieve" a lot...

Yea better yet what state is your friend from. I will pull up their local news & see if you are just bullshitting us.

Most doctors don't see gunshot wounds, because most doctors don't work in emergency rooms.

You don't go to a family doctor for a gunsshot wound. You don't go to an obgyn for a gun wound. The only doctor you should ever see is in the emergency room.

I am all for individual rights, but all INDIVIDUALS have rights.

If some individual that lives in an apartment next to me wants to be a nazi, smoke crack, worship the devil - fine with me - it doesn't effect me.

But if that individual brings home a gun - it very well could if it is used.

The fact is - a gun in the home is much more likely to kill someone you know than protect you.

Almost everyone that owns a gun thinks this won't happen to them. They are RIGHT 99% of the time, but unfortunately - IF THE GUN IS USED - they are WRONG much more than they are RIGHT.

I think everyone who either enters a house or has their children enter the hous of another - has a right to know if there is a gun in that house.

People who own guns think it makes them safer - statistically it does not. You have a better chance getting hit by lightning than using a gun in self defence.

No one ever thinks something will happen to them - they think these other people are impulsive, stupid, don't lock their guns up safely, or whatever other reason.

People should know and understand the risks of owning a gun.

Sly_RJ:

This was a friend in the US..

I'm all for having a sign on the front door that states "Warning Firearm/Handgun Protection System in place"

And i might even agree to put one up on my door.

Ok quit the bullshitting man, tell us what state & when it happened & i'll look it up in the paper. Quit stalling liar

No, I was asking because I knew Webby doesn't live in the States.
