Exactly!
I'll admit that I totally neglected handguns and went straight for assault rifles. Now I want a submachine gun lol. |

I'm moving to some war-neutral country where guns aren't a problem like Canada or Switzerland. We have other ways to kill people besides guns, we can't stop people from killing people with poisons and other stuff; banning guns is just going to be redundant.

Anyway, you do realize that the only reason we're even remotely free in America today is because our fore fathers illegally harbored guns and fought the British? That's why our second amendment exists. To keep us free. |

QUOTE(brooklyneast05 @ Apr 24 2009, 09:03 AM) nah people should be able to have guns. i think there should be strict regulation, licenses, ect ect. although, no i don't think it's "necessary" that people have like big ass machine guns or something in their house. but if they were to take away the right to own a gun, then only the criminals will have the guns. the rest of us will just be screwed. i don't like guns and i'm not big on all that, but when i have a family and what not, there'll be a gun in my house. shit happens and i'm not about to be the one without any defense. plus, our citizens are supposed to be able to protect themselves. we're supposed to have a militia of sorts. I agree. Guns should definitely be allowed, but I think they should be limited to those that are willing to prove that they know how to handle them and be careful with them (licenses). |

Dang I was gonna quote JC too but that post was a WHILE ago. Iono if people know this, but you can just go and buy a gun if you want to. I think you have to be 21? I don't know. Anyway, the only license you need is for a CONCEALED weapon. If you have a shotgun and you're driving it around, as long as it's not hidden it's legal to just have it with you.
Related to self defense at say, your house worrying about a robbery or something. You have say, two choices, a pistol or a shotgun. What would you choose? I would pick a shotgun tbh. Get broken into at night time, way easier to just generally aim the shotgun than point a pistol and worry about missing. Plus, when you cock the shotgun, if I were robbing someone that would scare the shit out of me and I'd probably high tail it out of there. Anyway, if you have a shotgun, good luck concealing that shit, no license needed, protection attained, fun at shooting ranges optional, etc :] |

^ i dont quite know the answer to that, but i gotta say, yo sig is crackin me up mang.
 But to answer, I'll guess I'll say yes. We need to have protection if the po-po don't show up. But at the same time, no, since it could get the youngins involved in some serious shit. Idk, I'm kinda torn on it.
