I've never shot a gun before.
I am two Grateful Dead concerts away from Marxism (hate the Grateful Dead, btw)
I think that hunting is stupid, unless it is your means of food.
But, I think that legislation against the right to own guns is ridiculous. In an episode of the West Wing there is a push for banning the "cop killer" pistol. When a member of the Bartlet administration went to talk with a Texas Senator who was opposing the Bill he responded with a similar notion:
This legislation is banning certain guns. However, there are many many many modifications of the certain gun which will continue to be legal. Furthermore, the only "sane" legislation that an anti-gun spokesperson can pass would be a ban on the entirety of guns, and indoingso they would have to find a way to take back all the guns that are already in the hands of citizens, as the argument against gun is only one of "that a gun can kill".
If we are to pass legislation against things that kill, then we cannot just single out guns. I wouldn't need a gun if I really wanted to kill someone; that is a ridiculous claim. If you are going to ban guns, then you are going to also have to ban: sharp-things (swords, knives, kitchen knives, mechanical tools, tools found in hospitals, etc) blunt-thing (hammers, sledgehammers, rocks, etc), natural disasters (hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes), and finally, humanity (as it is never the gun that decides to fire on someone).
I do, however, support legislation that forces gun buyers to know w.t.f they are buying; like licenses.
But this whole "anti-constitutional" complaining I see the Libertarians and the Rest-Wingers doing is ridiculous. Y'all do realize that our "rights" are "privileges" as any of these can be taken away from you.
I am sorry to inform y'all, but our Constitutional rights only apply as long as the Government sees fit.
