What do you think

[pugaltitude]

Well to start with Nobody said you can't have a gun. Lets think about this, seeing were on a lawn forum I'll use this as an example. I'm a homeowner with 1/8 acre to mow and I need a mower, do I run down to the shop and buy a 60" commercial ztr? answer of course not I buy a 22" self propelled push.

Do you need an AR 223 bushmaster to shoot at bear, cougar, wolf or to protect your livestock? Do you need a 9mm Glock with a forty shot clip and a silencer to protect your family, I don't think so.

The problem with people is there wants over shadow there needs, it's called overkill and I think that's what the Government looking at nothing more.

As I said before I'm a gun owner, I own pistols, shotguns and a rifle or two but lets get real my 40 cal Glock at my beside at night is very sufficient I don't believe you need something like this

A small city just west of me has a law that every homeowner MUST have a gun in the house.
There is no crime. Your house does not get broke into. Your thing in your yard are safe.
You know if you try and rob a store you will be shot.

I just think this is wrong.

A typical normal house with a family of 4 with 9-5 jobs imo do not need a gun.

Now I said job dependant, so gamekeepers, pro hunters, farmers, that type of person.

Now Im no city slicker but I am a small country type boy that does go fishing, ferreting and have been hunting but is all done in "controlled" enviroment.

As for bullets and guns imo they are not meant for super markets but for controlled enviroments!

I've never heard of a gun store referred to as a super market before. :smile: You talk of a controlled environment, isn't your home a controlled environment. Shouldn't this typical normal house with a family of 4 with 9-5 jobs have the choice of what they want in there home for protection, or do they rely on a 911 call with law enforcement that shows up after the tragedy.

1 You are in bed sleeping of course :laughing: A Bad Guy is causing problems in the house. You take aim, shoot and kill him.
Do you go to jail with the chance of death row as America still has this I assume or are you a Hero?

2 You are in bed again (lazy) :laughing:.
A Bad Guy is causing problems in the house. You take aim, shoot and kill one of your kids.
Who is :laughing: now???

I honestly dont know anybody that owns a gun.

If I'm in bed sleeping and someone breaks into my home and I shoot the individual I won't be arrested or put in jail because that individual won't be alive to testify and the shooting will be in self defense and justified. I've had cops that have told me that.
As far as children go I no longer have any living at home and when I did I honestly had more guns then than I do now, but I also was taught to know what and who your shooting at before you pull the trigger. You're taught all those things in safety courses.

You say you honestly don't know anybody that owns a gun, I don't think I know anybody that don't.:laughing:

I think yes an AR15 maybe overkill as of my present needs but that does not mean it will be overkill for my future needs in protecting my family and property. With the state of most of the populations dependency on the government here, I would like to be prepared. What would happen if say the government could not keep the peace in the case of disaster be it man made or natural. It would only take a few days for hoards of people to be willing to kill you to take your food and property. I would rather be prepared to be able to at least try and defend myself rather than be the sheep for slaughter. Thank our forefathers for the freedoms we have and may we continue to fight to retain them. :ban::thumbdown:

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." Thomas Jefferson

If you shoot and kill him and he is facing you your a hero if you shoot him in the back of the head your going to jail. As I said before I do not have any guns but you break in my house you will be killed.
I have friends that have guns all over the house and know of more than one that there kids have picked one up and shot it luckily no one was hurt. But you can not blame the gun you can only blame the dumb azz that left it sitting there.
I think it's ok if you hunt for food to have a rifle or a pistol for home defense. But what reason does any one have to own 20 guns or a automatic rifle or something to shoot 300 yards.

I own likely more than my share of guns.
I had my fill of military weapons when I was in the military. So I do not have a lot of them now.
But I don't mind anyone else having any amount they like... for what ever purpose they may feel the need. (Switzerland requires their citizenry to keep Fully Automatic Weapons).
BTW no big problem there.
Weapons are Not the problem, a few people Are the problem. Deal with Those few people, and you will have less problems.
You can't allow mentally ill people free access to the general society. Especially if you are relying on a voluntary self administered 'control drug' to allow them to 'blend into' society.

I have a situation to think about? What if somebody breaks into your home at 1 AM with some sort of a weapon, what do you do? Probably call the police. OK, now think about this, The police are 45 minutes away, maybe only have one officer on duty to cover 1000 square miles. Now how do you defend yourself while you wait for the police to show up.

Comes back to the staying that, When seconds count, the police are minutes away.
