(515 posts)I was pretty comfortable not having any "scary" rifles when I didn't think that a ban was coming. I figured that if I ever wanted one I could always buy it later. That all changed, however...

Maybe I do need a gun. Sigh.

I want to know exactly how much in tax dollars someone's right to bear "ARMS" is COSTING ME.
How much are firearms costing us regarding police hours, gov't mental health care and therapy, prosecutor hours, government vehicles and insurance, gas, police health and injury paid leave, vehicle repairs, prison food, prison clothes, chains, water, court costs, judges salaries, district attorney pay, prison heat & electric, other court employees, jailer costs, court heating & electric, public defenders, hospitalization, welfare to victim's families, property liability insurance, coroner fees, cremation fees and other associated costs relating to gun crime??
I'm guessing the NRA isn't going to bring it up because the costs are way too much per person just so that some idiot can own an automatic or semi-automatic or repeating rounds weapon.
Call your Congressman and demand an economic study on the costs!
Do it now to keep your tax dollars from protecting some crazy neighbor's "right" to own an Uzi.
Gun owners are lazy cowards simply looking for what kills the easiest.
If "knives are as dangerous" , then go hunt with a knife. Oh, and good luck to you with that.
Cars and transportation are a HUGE economic engine and accidents are an accepted risk. Drunk driving laws are getting tougher and tougher. Guns? Uh, not so much. In fact firearms COST SOCIETY more in dollars than they create and accidents are STILL unacceptable.

(12,253 posts)... at least in the short term, the real winners of all of the anti-gun rhetoric are the gun stores, gun manufacturers, and the NRA. Exactly why the NRA exists. It's all about the money and there is no bigger money than arms.
