Thread: Gun Control

Smoke, I understand and appreciate your passion, especially with the safety at home issues, BUT, this sort of thing, as trivial and insignificant as it SEEMS, is just another pick, pick, pick at the govenment controlling more and more of our lives. It's not about GUN control, it's about PEOPLE control and the government wants as much control over you as they can get. The more ways they have to get information on or about you (registering guns, on-line medical records, etc.,) the more control they have of your movement, purchases, and the private lives of each of us. We spanked England largly because of this same thing. Too much big government. Period.

You want something done right, let private citizens and the free market direct it. You want it screwed up, over funded, over regulated, under efficient, and invasive to your constitutional rights, let the federal government with their surrogate legal team, the ACLU, get their hands on it. Name me ONE single thing that the government runs that is effective????? I didn't think so.

Nobody is trying to hide anything. I'm just trying to keep as much of me as private as I can. I like my private, personal independence. I spent too much time in the military where you work off the "Need To Know" to believe for one minute that they 'need to know' all that they want.

And, I'll quote Ted N. again- - "The Second Amendment IS my right to conceal and carry." Explain to me where this is flawed logic. If you REALLY want to know how this sorta of big government - 'we need to know everything about you' - philosophy works, befriend a Canadian and listen to the horror stories. I have and I did, and it's not pretty.

What's worst is you can't buy ammo.. so what if you have a gun but no Bullets. That's going to be the biggest thing....

Buy a re-loader. Issue solved.

I just joined up as i see nothing good coming from this gun control bill that actually works against honest gun owners. This bill does nothing to keep guns away from thieves and crooks because they don't abit with the current laws on anything now so why would they care about a new set of rules.

Reloading components are hard to find. Everyone is hoarding. Cant find rifle or pistol primers.

What I'm looking at is: That old gun that was your great-granddads, that's hanging on the mantle. Would have to be turned in and engraved with a seriel number. To me, that would ruin the value of the piece. Be my luck they would place it so it would shine like a becon.
Every Cracker Barrel resturant I've been to has a gun over the fireplace. I bet there isn't a number on them.
