Majority of Americans Favor Gun Control Laws, Poll Shows

  1. Take note ET republicans that democratic politicians aren't the only ones who restrict guns,conservative hero Reagan did and the guy most of you voted for last month signed an assault weapons ban.

    BWAHAHAHAHA! Meet the Press moderator pulled out a thirty round magazine and showed it to LaPierre and asked him if it were outlawed would it not decrease the amount of carnage in mass shootings.

    Small problem. Meet the Press studios are located in the DC city limits. 30 round magazines are illegal there - attached to a firearm or not.

    Well said and beyond the conversational scope, unfortunately.

    The problem with the above, is most of the higher echelon bureaucrats/politicians/industrialists/bankers/wallstreet types are psychopaths. In essence, they'd write and pass laws that would make themselves second-class citizens. Psychos gravitate to power so they can live above it. Commit their crimes without fear of prosecution or redress. What better place to do it, than Government?

    Absolutely not true, sorry bro.

    Automatic weapons can be attained by dealers, ex-mil or other folks who pass the necessary checks (which are quite tough). Ex-SF guy down the road let me shoot his M4 two months ago. Was nice.

    Explosives being "Banned" doesn't stop crazies from making them (fertilizer bombs, etc). A ban there is akin to the bazooka argument Red Duke was using - it's about the need for such items - no one has a use for them. If you want to hunt or protect your home, explosive devices aren't all that useful.

    I don't know why little arrow is even participating in this discussion. He doesn't know the first thing about it.

    In the event of a ban.

    1)Why do you feel it's OK for you to have "high capacity"mags but no one in the future is allowed to purchase them, legally?

    2)Do you think the ban will be effective? Or will the millions already in circulation simply continue to circulate?

  8. 1.I didn't say it was ok or that I approved,I said I accepted majority rule on the issue

    2.I dont think it will stop all mass shootings but I think it will be effective at reducing mass shootings.The millions in circulation wont stay in circulation at the levels they are now as owners will keep and protect their extended mags and assault rifles knowing they cant get more

  9. Polls show the majority of Americans are opposed to obamacare.

    Somehow I doubt you'll agree to a repeal though.

    Hypocrasy in action
