Ya, b/c before guns there was no war and everybody lived in peace b/c nobody would want to use the energy to fight with swords, sticks, clubs, and bows and arrows.

That should pretty well make my views clear.

Are you carrying yet?

Not at work (probably not going to take the risk of losing my license, especially when I'll be laid off in a few months anyway), other than that yes.

Just got it yesterday, still getting used to it.

Now of course I must ask: What are you carrying?

If there were no guns, I'd be psyched to be first guy with one...

If there were no guns, I would have the most kickass slingshot of all time!

Lol.

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear slingshots, shall not be infringed.
 
Screw slingshots, I'd want a shield, javelin, and one of those jai a'lai things. I'd be able to pwn all of Europe with that. Provided there's rocks.

If someday the world banned all guns I would invent a hand crossbow (like a handgun). But I would try to pass some sort of law that would never limit the number of arrows in my quiver. Also, the law would say that there's no waiting period for buying a hand crossbow. After the invention of the hand crossbow I would move onto inventing things like semi automatic arrow loading hand crossbows, or even the deadliest of all--assault crossbows.

 
Yup, I'm all for the right to bare arms too. I'm looking to buy a nuke in the near future to protect myself from invaders.

Too bad the government likes infringing on it everyday. 🙁

anti-gun nuts don't realize that police only show up after the crime to draw chalk outlines and figure out why you got killed and who did it ...


If we all carried firearms, 9/11 wouldn't have been a tragedy ... 19 gun totin' hijackers are no match for several hundred gun totin' Americans. 🙂


As a gun enthusiast I get it, but I really wish you guys would stop using that stupid 9/11 analogy. It does nothing but make us look like ignorant trigger-happy rednecks. Would you please spend thirty seconds and think about why a gunfight aboard a 747 involving a hundred or so inexperienced, untrained, undisciplined gun totin' Americans might not turn out well?

How about 50 well motivated people with bic pens?

Bare arms? We don't want to see your pale, pasty, girly-man arms. Put on a sweatshirt or something, you pansy! 😛

A semi automatic crossbow would suck. You ever try pulling back a cross bow? How do you expect a gangster to do that side ways? And with a high rate of fire.

No crap.

I'm all for gun ownership. But come one people that say if they were on that plane they would have shot them is bullcrap.

a gunfight aboard a 747 is silly. its to compact and to crowded. odds on hitting someone sitting there is good.

That is so extremely flawed I will not even bother.

19 knife-wielding terrorists are no match for ONE gun-totin' passenger. Period. Unfortunately, if said passenger isn't shooting along the aisle and hits one of the sidewalls or a window, the whole plane is basically fuxed.
 
2nd amendment still isn't applied to the states, so it doesn't really matter. As a citizen of the US NATIONAL government you have a right to bear arms, but the amendment hasn't been applied to the states yet (if i recall correctly).
