I_Do_Parkour wrote I asked someone from Texas why he even had guns and he said just to wave them in peoples faces when they mess with him. They should definitely take away your guns 90% of the people with them don't know how to use them. Maybe the shootings in SCHOOLS will stop too.

You have a problem with the people who obtain guns not the actual guns themselves and that is obvious so instead of you supporting the ban of guns sign the dam petition and agree with Obama on doing background checks instead of actually taking away the guns. :facepalm: :facepalm:

No. If our armed forces decides to attack our our country through the government orders, we have no way to protect ourselves. Armed forces can be manipulated to do things like that, just as Hitler did with Germany. That situation could have been deterred had the German citizens had guns. True, it's only semi-auto rifles, but I would like to be at least close to the strength level as our military. I'm sure this is just a step to get all guns banned. Once they are all gone, our country (as we know it) will be over not long after.

TryHardGraphics wrote What I don't get is why do they want to ban guns its not the guns its the people, why not just do background checks like Obama proposed that is the thing I 100% agree with Obama but on banning assault rifles?Nope 2nd amendment.

I agree, in my opinion anyone that has ANY type of criminal record should not be able to purchase any type of gun legally.

Assault Rifles are banned. No citizen can own a fully automatic rifle of any variant. It's extremely illegal. Assault weapons refer to rifles such as the AR-15 Civilian Variant. They normally have larger magazines, but only fire as fast as the trigger is pulled. I don't support them though, and don't believe citizens should own them. :p

i am a hunter and i choose my AR-15 5.56 NATO so they can suck my fat balls.

I just don't believe the US citizens would stand a chance if some extremist actually got enough people to enlist. One Massive Ordinance Blast and the "rebels" would be gone. Even if the ownership of Assault Weapons leveled the Infantry playing field, the Army is years ahead in supply and Artillery Fire.

I regret to inform some of you that a nationwide ban own private firearm ownership is not going to solve crime problems at all. the majority of people committing acts of violence through the use of firearms are not obtaining the firearms through legal means. The black market thrives on illegal sales of firearms and by banning firearms you will be increasing the trafficking of illegal firearms into the US. How is making a market that is worth hundreds of millions of dollars illegal (handing it over to illegal traffickers) making this country safer? The people that are already doing the trafficking stop at nothing to get their 'product' into the country. Giving them the motivation of millions of dollars isn't going to make them any nicer or easier to stop.

Where is it in the constitution that says that someone cannot own a machine gun if they want to? There are enough (my opinion) regulations already in place to negate a 'crazy person' to have purchasing power of such weaponry. For people that don't know, to buy a fully automatic firearm of any kind in the state of Oregon you need to pass a in-depth background test, pay a fee to the federal goverment (I believe its around $250 per weapon.), and you have to have a chief law enforcement officer sign off on multiple documents ( to my knowledge a course must be passed in order for the signing of these documents.)

Maybe instead of focusing on 'taking guns off the streets'. A better use of money, time, and resources would be to implement firearm safety courses in school. The only thing I ever heard in school about guns as a kid is that they were bad and if I see one to tell an adult. If not for the way I was raised I would not be able to safely operate a firearm. A good percent of shootings in the US are from accidental shootings from people that don't know how to safely operate a firearm.

I understand that at this point the his proposal does not ban all guns. But, if I were in the presidents place I would know that trying to pull ever gun out of every citizens hand in the US would be near impossible. If I wanted controls, elimination, or limitation of gun sales and ownership in the US I would start small and slowly increase restrictions. Which is what I believe is happening.

Tell me please, when has your 25-30 Round Magazine really improved your hunting experience? Do you really need that much power for Elk?
