its just going to be another troll fest. he is asking the wrong question, and until he starts asking a better question, he's going to get shit answers from everyone.

does anyone *NEED* a car with more than 100hp?
does anyone *NEED* a house with more than..500sq ft per person?
does anyone *NEED* any recreational vehicle? (car, bike, quad, RV, whatever)

it doesn't matter what *NEED* there may or may not be. there is a RIGHT (many of the above are simply privileges) to firearms guaranteed by the constitution. there is no need to explain why that right should be exercised. the existence of that right is all that is needed.

hell, i'd love to go on that show and try to explain it :p

TOO BUSY WATCHING MY PR0N.

Wait, did I say that out loud? /sarcasm

Why would anyone WILLFULLY watch Piers Morgan, beyond doing it when watching episodes of Britain's Got Talent or something? The guy is a troll, and people need to just stop feeding him.

do people actually watch him? even when he is arguing something i am for i want to punch him.

I don't. Only knew about it from a friend who suggested I watch this segment. He's an accurate representation of the progressives these days. He makes emotional arguments and disregards facts. Anyone who watches this drivel on a regular basis needs to turn off the TV and go outside or read a book cause you won't learn anything from this guy.

Then would it be fair make the same claim about conservatives that partake of Fox "News."

piers is basically to the left, as bill O'reilly is to the right...

however... this gun control thing is getting crazy.. i know nothing will really come of it.. it's more like a probe to see how ready the american public is for something like that TO HAPPEN... i'd say give it another 50 years.. the elite can sit on their collective asses for another 50 years, and then we can roll out 1 world united, call ourselves earthlings, and get on with the show..

earthicans. and nixon's head will win by a landslide vote thanks to the robot population. futurama has predicted this. everyone knows this.

if the government REALLY tried confiscating guns, i think you could have civil war pt2 on your hands. there would be innumerable numbers of people, localities, and states pissed to no end.

Yet if a black market has grown around selling narcotics which have been prohibited by government than what will you believe will happen if government were to do the same to firearms as they have done to say pot?

I can image myself that a new businesses avenue would open up ASAP for these cartels to profit off the distributions and sales of black market firearms as they do with the distributions and sale of illegal drugs in the US.

no because there's not a demand for guns like there is for pot... i can think of like 20 people in my head that smoke pot... and like 1 who's a gun nutter..

there's a huge demand for guns. talk of AWB has sent orders flying through the roofs. manufacturers have sold between 6-12 months worth of supply in 2-3 months. backorders are absolutely massive.

the reason there isn't a huge blackmarket demand is because there are legal ways to obtain firearms. make that market illegal (like drugs) and you would almost be guaranteed to get a firearms black market akin to the drug one. (conversely i could definitely see the blackmarket dying if drugs were legalized)

there is already a huge black market for guns, i dont think it would grow much... people aren't gonna risk breaking the law to get illegal firearms...

i think that would weed most of the problem out, if guns were blackmarket.. it would deter a huge amount of people from buying them....and make shooting ranges illegal...i can think of a few lives that would have been saved this week that made big news..

There is a large demand among the criminal element in society. There is large demand among people who just want to defend their lives against this same criminal element. In fact it is why we have almost as many more guns than people in this nation to name a few reasons outside the scope of the original intent of the 2nd amendment which is to safe guard against government tyranny.

i just gotta go with my rational side here, and think that... harder to get guns, will always equate to less accidents/gun crime...

pretty much every hick/hillbilly where i'm from has a gun.. those aren't the kind of people that i would think the law, should allow to have guns...and they make up probably 20 percent of the population... the rest out there are basically suburban families, who dont care about gun laws because they dont see a reason to own a gun (i think i'd fit into this group as well)

and for that group, less guns the better... i see someone concealed or open carrying and all i can think is jesus christ... ego much? i'd feel safer with that group of people, just gone... that's like people who forgot to assimilate into society.. or failed too... and are now scared and alienated, and carrying weapons!!! wtf
