Lately I've been thinking it's time to bury the guns. Trouble being, there's an old saying that if you think it's time to bury the guns, it's time to dig them up.

Not saying what for, just saying.

And for those who need a refresher...

FIREARMS REFRESHER COURSE

1. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.

2. A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.

3. Colt: The original point and click interface.

4. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.

5. If guns are outlawed, can we use swords?

6. If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words.

7. Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.

8. If you don't know your rights, you don't have any.

9. Those who trade liberty for security have neither.

10. The United States Constitution (c)1791. All Rights Reserved.

11. What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand?

12. The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the
others.

13. 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.

14. Guns only have two enemies; rust and politicians.

15. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety.

16. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.

17. 911: Government sponsored Dial-a-Prayer.

18. Assault is a behavior, not a device.

19. Criminals love gun control; it makes their jobs safer.

20. If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson.

21. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control
them.

22. You have only the rights you are willing to fight for.

23. Enforce the gun control laws we ALREADY have; don't make more.

24. When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves.

25. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.

The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

Most might think I am crazy, but I agree with everyone of those points but have never owned a gun and don't intend to ever buy one.

Hello,

A man's right to be unarmed is as vital as his right to arm himself.

I think we're 4-12 years away from facing disarmament, myself. Though, if Clinton gets elected, the Brady Bill, Part II will be one of her top priorities. Only she'll probably name it after a more recent tragedy.

Heartstrings get votes, after all.

While I may not agree with every individual point, I do agree with the sentiment.

Peaceful revolution is more often a failed revolution than an armed revolution. (Look at the Myanmar/Burma Saffron revolution happening now).

Pretty near time to dig em up, thats a fact.

I’m never serious. Serious means something bad is about to happen.

Meh, as folk know, I think everyone who wants one should have one - but I also think that everyone who has one oughta know how to actually use it, operate and maintain it properly, too.

That last isn't a legal responsibility, but a moral one.

So if you get one, for the love o mercy, get some hands-on training, please.

My personal reccommendation for beginners is either a Taurus 650SS2 (revolver) or a Bersa Thunder (automatic), inexpensive and durable, tho efficient self protection.

In one or two posts time, PIRATENEWS will be along to spew out nonsence about the Wisconsin Cop killing spree, so brace yourselves.

I am a proud owner of several guns. One of my philosiphies is Guns don't kill people, people kill people. And the other one is Gun control means hitting your target.

I'm 77 and still go out to shoot regularly. I love my .45. I've had this one for thirty years and she still shoots true.

Having seen where this country is going, I fear I may have to use it one day. Thank god I won't be around too much longer to see what happens next. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to have to use my weapons, but I will if need be. I've seen two wars and hate to think there may be another here.

We ALL need to get more active with votes that count.

Does that include terrorist, convicted violent felons, and the mentally ill? Cause if you agree we can't allow those folks to have guns then you agree we need gun control...just disagree as to the how much.

Me, I've got some nice guns, I intend to keep them whatever the law says. But I favor keeping them away from criminals, terrorists, and crazy types...and kids (without proper supervision, which means most kids these days, but not all).
