I don't know that I would be willing to die rather than give up my guns.  I've gotten decent with my bow and suppose I could work on that really hard and then maybe I would be more willing.  Saying that, I don't have guns for self defense, as I only use them to hunt.  4951

@TEXANSCHICK:
 
If they marched in and demanded them to be handed over with guns at my families head I would hand them over. For one they probably wouldnt get that far but if they did I have back up plans....Emoticon

When an armed mad Muslim walks into a place with murder on his mind, the unarmed gun control advocates are the ones most likely to die for their beliefs. 4951

I'm all in support of allowing people to have their guns - for protection, for hunting, etc. What I do NOT understand is the "need" for an assault rifle. I really don't.
 
And gun laws HAVE to be tougher. Why was a man who was investigated by the FBI three times, able to get two guns? Yes, I know that he would've have gotten them one way or another - but maybe this would deter others.
 
I just wish for peace and kindness. I'm glad there are people who are passionate about their beliefs, but can't we just learn to coexist?

@ctl74: AR's are good hunting rifles, especially if you hunt hogs.  Takes multiple shots sometimes to bring down a big hog, or to shoot several at once.  Also, keep in mind an AR is no different than a semi-auto handgun.  And if you go to the range enough, you can shoot almost as well with a handgun as a rifle, especially in close quarters.

@ctl74:  First of all, an AR-15 is NOT an assault rifle.  It looks like one, but doesn't not have fully automatic firing capability.  The liberals like to call any "black" rifle an assault rifle, which is a lie.  Years ago, I wondered why anyone would "need" or even "want" an AR-15 or semi-auto AK-47.  Then my government tried to take them away.  At that point, I felt I needed both and I got both.No, guns laws DON"T need to be tougher.  We have enough gun laws in place, but they are not enforced.  The FBI had two opportunities to restrict his gun ownership, but did not do so.  Let's do a better job of enforcing existing gun laws before we add more gun control laws.My AR-15 is accurate enough to hit prairie dogs between 200-300 yards.  While I do own some 30 round magazines, most of my shooting is done with 10 round magazines.  The 30 round magazine gets in the way if you are shooting from a table or bench.I am considering buying an AR-10 in the future.  That is a slightly enlarged AR-15 and shoots the .308 cartridge... one of the most popular cartridges in this country for deer, antelope, elk, etc.

@ctl74: No, we can't. Since the beginning of time the world has been full of strife. Even in the bible there are many stories of killings and brutal sacrifices. This is not a new thing and if anything will continue to get worse. We already have issues with our own when it comes to hatred. Look at all the road rage incidents and shootings just in our own city. Air travel now allows people from other countries to come here and spread their hatred too. Social media connects people with the same hatred and allows them to see that there are others out there just like them so that makes it ok in their mind. As people see this happening in the news they begin to think that they too can kill because someone's ideas don't match up with their own. Get rid of guns, they will use knives; get rid of knives, they will kill with bare hands. Bombs are not legal by that hasn't stopped people from using those. Thankfully most of us are able to control our anger and dislike for others (and we all have those feelings) but for some reason there are those out there that can't or choose not to control their hatred.

Yeah, people that want to ban assault rifles are completely ignorant. I believe they think it's some automatic or semi-automatic weapon which is already banned. It's just a rifle and actually not the best weapon for close quarters, better for long range. A real assault rifle is not even legal which is normally 3 round burst like an M4 and using that setting is frowned by the military, bullet wasting mode is what I call it. Banning it would make no difference at all....but once again politicians chiming off about something they know nothing about.   We have a problem with mental illness gun owners. If a pilot forgets his glasses one day and decides to fly that is a big problem. No. This is why you need 20/20 to fly planes in the military. No 20/20 and no flying. Same with mental illness. Diagnosed with it and no guns. I know RE will disagree but that is really the only solution to stop most of this stuff. FBI should have sent him for a mental evaluation.    4951

The gun-control (or gun-elimination)  group in this country DO NOT WANT law enforcement or federal agencies to enforce existing gun laws.  The GC people want to keep adding more and more laws until they are "forced" to take steps to eliminate and confiscate firearms. At which time, those in law enforcement will have a difficult decision as to whether they will enforce such a law.  Probably those in large towns and in federal jobs will enforce it, but most law enforcement in rural (and most of Texas) will not enforce the law (I don't think).If they currently cannot restrict/elimination the firearms themselves, they try to pass laws that are nonsensical (special firing pin micro engraving, guns that require the holder to be wearing a certain ring to unlock the safety, etc, etc).  The other way to get around existing laws and make gun ownership harder for the average citizen is to either outlaw or tax ammunition and firearms.  Hillary is proposing a 25% tax on all firearms.  The government tried to outlaw sales of M855 ammo for the 5.56mm AR-15 rifles but that was voted down.... for the time being.  If they ever get that passed, FMJ ammo will be next.  4951

@beastmode:  The 3-round burst is being phased out and the military is going back to semi-auto and full-auto.  Full auto is primarily for suppression fire.http://www.armytimes.com/story/military/tech/2015/07/04/army-m4a1-rifle-carbine/28173291/What gave you the idea that I would disagree with taking guns from people with mental Illness?  I have no problem with that as long as once the person is deemed safe to society, they can resume gun ownership.
