gun control (really)

[AsianStoner420]

Some people own guns for their own protection, like me I own a 50 Caliber Desert Eagle, but i can assure that im not goin around the park shooting random peoples like a fuckin idiot....i know its illegal and deff. risky but i gotta protect myself,..

No offense asian stoner, but the Desert Eagle certainly isn't mean to be a self defence gun. A self defence gun would be either a smaller caliber semi auto, such as a 9mm-.45 acp. Or for a home defense gun a short length pump action shotgun, I prefer my mossberg 500 20 gauge. The DE has far to much penetration. if you miss that bullet would easily go through walls, and endanger innocent bystanders. Not to mention that follow up shots wouldn't exist, it would take too long to regather yourself, not to mention you'd be def.

i personally own three guns; my brothers have enough arms to supply a militia. i believe that we will soon have need to protect ourselves, and our guns will be our only defense.

I feel that CA has a decent gun law. I think it shoulds be tighter though. I mean I bought a 12 gadge at Big 5 (sporting goods) same day. I say, now it sounds crazy, Put tracking devises on all firearms. Shit if they could invent something that tells them when and where it is fired. I don't think it is an invasion of pirvacy if it saves a life. And for all the hunters and Skeet shooters out there, you would have to just give notice before hand. It could work. . .

common guitar... a 45 acp ...small caliber semi-auto, just hope the person
shootin' at you is a baad shot (like most people) otherwise ......

"when guns are out-lawed only out-laws will have guns"

its the same with weed, i dont see how any pot smoker after seeing the damage prohibtion has done, can honestly say that we need to get rid of guns. i own many guns, i am a responsible gun owner. why should i have to give up my guns because a few bad apples use them for harm?

3 cheers for common sense. Hey everyone, is weed legal where you live? Oh, ok. So what happens whne guns are illegal?

So, my mom should give up her firearm she travels state to state with, because then, since they are illegal, the guy that was gonna rob/rape my mother will be like "oh shit, I forgot to turn in my illegal handgun I was gonna rape this cracker woman with".....

Somebody in a country that has a full-on gun ban speak up (I believe Australia is one), tell us what its really like with your massive influx of home invasion robberies, so these utopians that have never been in a life or death struggle can stop telling us to let ourselves be attacked.

All of the convenient little statistics dont do much for me. In Florida, EVERYONE I know is armed, mom, dad, friends, sister, etc.....No gun accidents yet, but my sister held her gun up to the back window of her car when she was being followed really close by a car full of gangstas in the middle of nowhere that were fucking with her (a bit before everyone had a cellphone). They were coming up on her ass and trying to hit her car. My mother has shot a giant fucking water moccasin in our backyard that would kill our dog when she was by herself. My dad pulled a gun on a group of guys that were surrounding his car at a gas station at night. They were asking him for a few bucks to go to miami, trying to get him to pull his wallet out. They surrounded his car and wouldnt let him backup, well, guess what the fuck made them change their minds to let him go????? Oh yeah, here in Jacksonville, someone dies at a gass station almost every night. Someone got shot this week helping a car in the middle of the road with its flashers on, next to a gas station in the bad part of town.
