I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government’s right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime.

You ma’am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one.

I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America.

I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man.

I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public.

We, the people, deserve better than you.

Respectfully Submitted,

They’ll come right back at you with: ‘When a deranged lunatic uses one to shoot up an elementary school, killing 20 1st graders and six adults, that makes it my business.’”

Listens, your observation is an exellent one, that’s eactly what the gun grabbers would say. I offer, for your inspection, the following response:

“You’re still missing the point. The problems we need to solve are how to identify deranged lunatics and, what it is do we do with them once they are identified. This, my gun grabbing friend, has become the business of all. Worrying about the motives of all responsible, law abiding Americans will get you nothing.”

Lovely.

I was sorry to see her leave CSI, but now, knowing what I know? Good Riddance, or as a bud from Snyder, Texas used to say,”Paya! See ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya!”

Sure she’s an idiot, but she left a “hanging curve-ball” there.

How are NRA members going to be victims of a shooting, unless they’re in a “Gun Free zone”, or accidentally shoot themselves while cleaning a gun?

“You sound like O’Reilly.’Why would anyone want to own an AR-15?’”

Here’s my best answer to this question:

“None of your friggin’ business.”

I’m with you in spirit, Jack’. However, that won’t hold water in a public debate.

They’ll come right back at you with: “When a deranged lunatic uses one to shoot up an elementary school, killing 20 1st graders and six adults, that makes it my business.”

And you libtards – don’t try to tell me that’s over-reacting – they are already trying to force ALL of those things I just mentioned on us. It’s already happening – they just need to make sure we can’t put up any armed resistance.

They can already tell you what doctor to see, how many if any operations you can have, and whether you can buy life-continuing drugs……

Yeah, Sarah was right.

I suspect Obama will support it “fast” and “furiously”.

The sacred Bill of Rights is the primary reason we must fight these freedom hating zealots, and not let them team up with horrific murderers and attack our unique American way of life.

That right there is the major point in this.
Once they decide what kind of guns we can and can’t have, and the answer will eventually be none, then they can decide for us what kind of car we must drive, what size house we must have, what kind of food we can eat, and on and on. This is about eventual total control of our lives.

Do you see a racist behind every tree? Do you see a psychiatrist?

Very well said.

What people like O’Reilly don’t know is, there are 30 million mean looking semi-automatic rifles in private hands across the nation, and these rifles threaten no one. Now, your freedom arguement suffices for me, but others may like to know these rifles, also called black rifles, or modern sporting rifles, are used in national, regional, and local competitions involving thousands of responsible men and woman every year. In some cases there are sizeable cash prizes to be won. Also, there’s a growing number of hunters turning to these rifles as their choice for hunting a great variety of game.

Why would anyone want to sit on their a## at home in front of a large screen tv playing Halo 3 all day, sipping a Monster drink and smoking a dube, in a public housing apartment where your Caddy is sitting outside the door, all paid for by welfare?

I bet they’re black too. Horrors. Why don’t you ask what’s really on you’re mind?

Exit question: Why do gun manufacturers continue to make guns that look like military weapons even though they aren’t? I don’t care if the market demands it;

For crying out loud, Allah.

You sound like O’Reilly.”Why would anyone want to own an AR-15?”

Not really the question. Because if you go there, then why would anyone want to own a Corvette, or a Cessna, or an MP3 player, because all of those have show in the past to cause deaths. More importantly, it is an inherent right in this country to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, whether that is owning a Corvette, and Cessna, et al.

The ranting from the left has never changed. It has and always been about ALL of the guns. The AWB was just a foot they got in the door.

To paraphrase Jurassic Park, life will find a way. If that kid wanted to kill a bunch of innocent people and did not have access to firearms, he would have found another way, be it fertilizer and diesel fuel, Molotov coctails, or some other form of destruction.

Picking up on the whiny, “Why would anyone want X?” argument takes us further down the road with Big Brother controlling every aspect of your life.

I have a question for the left. Why would anyone want to sit on their a## at home in front of a large screen tv playing Halo 3 all day, sipping a Monster drink and smoking a dube, in a public housing apartment where your Caddy is sitting outside the door, all paid for by welfare?

Why should normal people like ourselves be prohibited from the above activities just because there exists deranged whackos that no one knows how to deal with? Geez, c’mon, think of all the drunken bastards who are unable handle the responsibilty of driving a car, and think of all the people they kill. For some reason, when it comes to DUI, we always put the blame where it belongs, on the irresponsible drunk. No one ever blames the car, other car owners, or the car companies.

Gun grabbers are truly evil people who must not be bargained with, they must be defeated.

Obviously you can argue from the 2nd amendment standpoint. What else would you say?”

I don’t give credit to the laws cited which regulate machine guns for the reason the fully automatic may not be in common use by criminals. I credit both the prohibitve cost and the fact real assault rifles in fully automatic mode, are difficult to control and to shoot accurately. Miltary men have told me they generally prefer shooting in the semi-automatic mode, and when they do use the fully automatic feature, accuracy and control can be achieved only in short bursts of fire. There are however, a next generation of real assault rifles that allow more control while firing in the fully automatic mode.

More evidence of my point may be found in the kinds of weapons used by the Mexican drug gangs. For those guys, price is no factor. I don’t know if full autos are in common use with them, but I do know they made good use of the semi-autos B.O. and Holder sent them.

Also, the Second Amendment arguement must always be pressed, because it’s the Bill of Rights that’s at stake here.

So what you want us to do is enable the hysertical and neurotic minds of the filthy gun grabbers so they will like us better, and at the same time hand over some, oh, but not all, of our Second Amendment rights? Do you really think that will make them go away? Well I got news for you, they don’t give a rat’s crap about banning mean looking semi-automatic rifles, and they don’t care about saving lives, it’s all a phony charade. What they want is a completely disarmed citzenry, because they have an obsessive fear of guns, and they just think no one should be allowed to own one.

Rationally I know it’s not a machine gun but I recoil from it anyway in a way that I don’t when looking at pics of more traditional rifles. Want to make potential gun-grabbers more at ease with semiautomatics? Then make them look as little like automatics as possible.

Asked and answered. You yourself said you recoil from it in a way you don’t from other guns. That’s the whole point – to scare the bejesus out of someone who’s trying to invade my home.
