Just a note. In places like Chicago and DC is where the call for stricted gun control is the loudest. Urban folks want gun control much more tha rural people.

Lots of sheep ruled by power hungry farmers
 
yes, criminals can't buy guns. that's why all gun-dealers should have a sign stating this. that way, we can prevent criminals from buying guns.

;)

and we could get rid of drug addiction if people had to get a prescription to buy cocaine since only pharmacies could sell it

Just a fact, and if you ever catch atown hall with residents speaking, youing find they don't like all the guns in the area. Agian, just a fact. Name call them all you want. It doesn't change the facts.

I couldn't care less what castratis want. That they are either too stupid to understand that their idiotic laws don't stop criminals (proven by Chicago's outrageous rates of murder etc) or too afraid to be men and make personal safety an individual responsibility

Seems to me both sides seem to think their extreme will magically stop crime. I say both of you are wrong. But, that's another issue. Here I just noted an oddity.

Monday should be fun. I have to go interview an inmate and I can't even bring in a pen. They actually make me take the staples out of my files. I am going to feel as naked as a jaybird.

Wow. Is he considered unstable or is he so detestible that they worry someone will kill him?

No guns inside the jail is SOP. No pens or staples is a new one on me.

Nothing will stop crime but there is absolutely no evidence that gun laws that hassle honest people only (magazine restrictions, guns per month, etc only hassle honest people since criminals are already banned from owning guns) prevent any crime The best someone could prove is that some suicides among one of many age cohorts may have been lessened by a waiting period.


we on the other hand can prove that guns are used all the time to stop criminal attacks and that gun laws that target honest people do infringe on our rights
 
well, this is the Libertarian position on drugs.

the libertarian position looks pretty good when one studies history-especially prohibition
 
yes, we should keep morality out of the laws.


we should keep emotion out of the law. drugs are bad but making them illegal to show we are against bad things causes more problems than the drugs themselves
 
No they don't.
You beat me to it. Thunder, you can't possibly believe that, if so you need to take a break from second amendment discussions for a while and do lots of homework. A drive throught "that" neighborhood in any city plus five minutes and forty bucks equals gun.

yeah, and where do you think "that guy" gets the guns to sell?

he drives to places like North Carolina, buys 10 handguns, drives up north, and sells them on the street.
 
I have no doubt, that the law limiting handgun sales in Va to one per month, per person...reduced the flow of handguns to criminals.

well since criminals cannot buy any gun legally that is rather stupid

and I already explained that if someone is buying multiple guns to then sell illegally to criminals there are plenty of laws to stop that if they are enforced.

but we do know that a one gun a month law hassles people like me. I often buy more than one gun a month. For example, one of my best friends turns 50 next week and I just bought him a stainless Kimber 45. within the last month I bought my son a 9mm Kimber for his birthday

now why should I have been prevented from buying that second gun?

and I have edified you over the fact that those 10 purchases was reported to the ATF

That is an issue and I do have to wonder why anyone would want to buy 10 guns at once - any kind of gun, doesn't matter. What the hell are you going to with 10 at once? (Honest question here.)

That was in this thread??

No, I don't care if you buy 2-3 a month even - but 10 at once?

only if the dealer is honest.

and when that dealer gets investigated as all do, he will go to jail if he isn't

so tell me why I should only be able to buy one gun a month
