Now that you've seen what happens when society breaks down (NOLA) do you still want to keep disarming law abiding citizens? IE more gun control?

Gee, if it wasn't for guns, the rescue teams wouldn't have to crouch in fear as they try to save people down there! I'm all for gun control....when guns are outlawed, only the outlaws will have guns, AND THEY WILL GO TO JAIL! (eventually, if the L.A. police don't shoot them on sight!)

Yeah, like the outlaws go to jail now?

Guns do not turn law abiding people into criminals. Blaming guns for the actions of the New Orleans shooters is like blaming food for obesity. :roll:

"Gun control" beyond making it illegal for felons to own them does nothing but hurt the law abiding citizen.

Riiiight...we don't even keep people in jail for murder. You think we're going to keep them in jail for having a gun? :roll:

I dare you to try to grab my Glock 19C from me.... make my day.

Sorry... but I think even anti-gun ppl would want a gun if they were being robbed, having a family member being kidnapped, staying at a house and then having it kickdoored by some thugs, etc.....

I just wish they would hurry up and come out with guns that only work with your fingerprint or such. That way it couldn't be used against you or by accident.

Please. Everytime there is a riot or violent outbreak, you guys use it as a grand example as to why we should have guns everywhere. You are just so sure that all legal gun owners would rise up and only use their guns to protect and serve. They would never use it for any illegal acts. You are just so sure of this right? Because only the non-NRA members are starving, displaced, homeless, and desperate. All the guys with legally owned guns are in great shape in N.O.

The argument is getting old. The best part is we'll never have absolute gun freedom so it can't be proved right or wrong.

Slowly but surely it is. Do honestly believe that the anti-gun crowd doesn't want to completely outlaw guns? That's pretty naive if you do.

So who DOES it disarm? Certianly not the *criminals*, they already don't care about the law.

Actually, the proof exists. Legal gun owners, especially CCW holders RARELY commit crimes, much less gun related crimes. Even in times of crisis.

The ignorant assumption that arming law abiding citizens will turn them into gun toting criminals has LONG been debunked.

Really? How many laws do we need to keep people from breaking already existing laws?

How many of those laws hinder the law abiding or take away their freedoms?

Guns suck. They make paranoid people a danger to everyone around them. They give a sense of power to people who crave it because they have an inferiority complex, and don't feel complete without a weapon. They also fall into the hands of innocent children, because some gun owners are complete idiots!

I'm mostly thinking about mandatory waiting periods.

I mean, isn't it a *good* thing that I can't go out and buy a gun right after finding out that my gf is cheating on me or right after getting fired?

My idea of gun control:

Maintain your line of fire, hit your intended target, and make sure no innocent people are hurt. That is gun control.

A well armed society is a polite society.

Really? Tell me, what % of gun related crimes are committed by legal gun owners? What % of gun related crimes are committed by CCW holders?

I'll bet you don't even know. You're just spewing ignorant nonsense.

Waiting periods had NO, NONE, NADA effect on gun realted crime rates. Which is the main reason why the Brady Bill was not reinstated after it thankfully expired.

I don't know about you, but if I was going to use guns to shoot up a bunch of people, I wouldn't want my name and information on record. That said, I think guns should be legal and disputes should be settled the "Old western" way. That way we get rid of two idiots at once. :)
