Jayne would be proud. (j/k) In light of all that is going on in the world today, I find this topic to be way down on the list of things that matter to me. I don't own any guns, but I strongly believe in the 2nd Amendment. I do find some of the fear mongering from those who are for the gun ban to be pretty silly.

btw, suppressors are only legal in 33 states and grenade launchers are not covered by the assault weapons ban. We do not want to confuse the nice people nor feed the anti's.

I never have been able to understand why you would want to keep any weapon out of the hands of someone who has no intentions of illegal use of them. Criminals will always find a way to buy or steal whatever kind of weapon to use for whatever illegal deed they wish. Remember two innocent passenger planes used as weapons three years ago?
Keep and bear arms. Or don't. Glad it's not up to the government to decide that one for me.
P.S. I don't own a gun. Got a nice sword, though. More personal.

Actually it was FOUR innocent passenger planes. Only two of 'em became famous. Ignore me. I'm "het up".

I consider myself liberal but this is one topic where my viewpoint is more libertarian. I agree with you, Vilavon, that these regulations most impact those who would purchase their firearms legally. All of my friends who own firearms are responsible owners who are safety conscious and take good care of their equipment. I personally don't own any firearms. But that's a choice. I don't see the need to take that choice away from people who do want to own certain types of firearms. So I guess that makes me pro-choice on this topic

I hope everybody else can enjoy the afordable standard capacity magazines, and the sunset of this worthless and wrong-headed legislation. Here in sunny California nothing will change, I just hope they don't ban the 80 year old bolt-action 1917 "Enfield" rifle I just bought before I can pick it up next week.

Guns dont kill poeple. Kids who play videogames kill poeple.

Well, after a long awaited 10 years, the ban is officially dead!

Fantastic. Now I can go out and get that rapid assault weapon with the funky stock to defend my property, because that hand gun was just making the Bloods and the Crips laugh at me.
Fair enough, I come from a country where our police still have to shout "Stop!... Or I'lll shout stop again!" (thenk yew Mr Hicks), but...
can anyone give me a good reason why you need a bayonet? Expecting the red coats to come back again are we?
- grenade launchers if the grenades are illegal?
Honestly, its issues like this that make me think Michael Moore isn't a dick.

You know. . .
You know I have to explain to parents who ask why I teach marksmanship as a part of my cadet class all the time.
"Guns are not toys. . .they are not fun, glamourous or cool. They are, rather, tools. . .tools that when used properly, do their job effectively. . .and when used irresponsibly, are dangerous."
I own several weapons of various types, some that are simply for hunting, others that I use for competition target shooting, and yes, I admit, more than one that I purchased because at the time I had more money than good sense.
I honestly have trouble seeing where limiting me and my friends to ten shots per magazine helped to reduce crime in the past ten years.
Oh well. *grin*
