If a particular individual who has been convicted of a crime can not be deemed trustworthy enough to have a gun... why let him out of prison in the first place? If he's too dangerous to have a gun he should not be released back into society.

Chill? We are talking about a state going so far in its quest to demonize and criminalize peaceful and law abiding people that it is forcing people like me to leave the state or be deemed a criminal. Arrogance? Arrogance is rich politicians with either taxpayer funded or private armed security...

But what do I know, I only have a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice. Obviously I have no familiarity with the nature of violent crime. How about we ask some real cops what they think about gun control: PoliceOne's Gun Control Survey: 11 key lessons from officers' perspectives

You are against gun ownership. Currently you claim that you just want limits on certain semi automatics that use certain magazines. Well, first of all, I already own the same type of firearms that you want banned. So, you are against me owning what I own. You would prefer that they be removed...

Yeah, because I'm a peaceful and law abiding citizen with no history of criminal activity or mental problems. So why do you have a problem with me owning any firearm I desire? Are you acknowledging that we already have a federal background check system? So would you mind explaining why a new...

All my guns must be broken then because none of them have killed anyone. (Not at least in the past 60 years, I do own some war relics that saw action and may have been used to kill in war). By the way, there are very few murders involving the use of a rifle, and fewer involving the use of a...

What's worse, a single mass shooting with 27 deaths or a general atmosphere of violence that sees 30 different fatal shootings a month on a regular basis? Would you rather live in Newtown, CT or Chicago? This does wonders for your credibility. You obviously have no clue what you are...

The only flaw in this analogy is that the job of firefighters is to stop a fire while it is still occurring to minimize damage. The job of police is to investigate crimes after all the damage has already occurred (i.e. once you have already been raped or murdered).

First of all, you just admitted that registration leads to confiscation. If might only be of certain firearms in most cases, but for anyone who owned those particular firearms... yes, the government did in fact "take their guns away". Why should someone be limited in their choice of what type...

Starts with having a clue what it is that you're trying to control, and also being honest about your intentions... Dear Gun Control Democrats: 6 Ways to Make a Better Argument | Kontradictions Small excerpt:

So what is the purpose of registration? The State of New York spent millions of dollars over the course of about 10 years on registering and collecting ballistic samples of every single handgun sold in the state. Would you like to guess how many crimes this extreme example of gun registration...

Both parties are the opposition.

Actually, I'm pretty sure they're complaining about how everything is different today. Back then you had big class sizes, spanking was a common punishment, kids read advanced material, curriculum pushed ahead at its proper pace without dumbing itself down for the sake of weaker students...

I hope that everyone in this thread who expresses "outrage" that the NRA may have contacted people in Newtown, and possibly even families of the victims, ALSO expresses outrage that gun control groups and democrats have contacted them regarding the tragedy and exploited them for political power...

The whole amendment is one sentence. The imperative clause of the sentence specifies that it guarantees a right of the people. But even if that were not the case, it turns out that I am, by law, a member of the militia. So you would still be wrong in violating my 2nd amendment rights. I...

The Constitution is the founding document of law in this country and supersedes all others. When a law passed by Congress is incongruent to the text of the Constitution, it is in violation, and unconstitutional. Only occasionally is this addressed through the judiciary. As I have stated, our...

I was debating whether I should relate the common argument that "guns are designed to kill" with the fact that newspapers were designed to spew propaganda. So... should we ban newspapers?

Can anyone name a single major news source that does not slant information to advance its own agenda? It doesn't matter whether a political party orders it. What matters is whether the media does it. If someone supports the democratic agenda, nobody from the democratic party needs to force them...

I specifically cited the Constitutional provision for depriving a person of life, liberty and property following the due process of law. Can you cite the Constitutional provision for restricting the 2nd amendment in a general sense, as AWB's and other restrictions do? The Constitution is...

Ever been upset about something that just happened, immediately wanted to do something drastic about it, then after a bit of time realized that your response was not logical and that there are better ways to handle what happened and prevent it from happening in the future? Yeah, that's pretty...
