Why do we need less guns? hlthe2b Apr 2012 #1

I will not allow you to take my guns away from me. GreenStormCloud Apr 2012 #2

It is the irresponsible gun owners safeinOhio Apr 2012 #3

Have you noticed the trend in laws? GreenStormCloud Apr 2012 #22

So then you are self-identifying as an irresponsible gun owner? hlthe2b Apr 2012 #4

Yet no one has any idea how to identify an "irresponsible gun owner" hack89 Apr 2012 #7

Pushing more and more gun sales, pushing the paranoia, pushing to remove any barriers to killing hlthe2b Apr 2012 #11

Gun deaths and violence are at historic lows and steadily declining hack89 Apr 2012 #14

It is the gun-grabbers who created the modern NRA. GreenStormCloud Apr 2012 #27

Do you think the same about car ownership? hack89 Apr 2012 #9

We already do....(restrict car access away from the irresponsible, mentally incapacited and others) hlthe2b Apr 2012 #10

But we don't restrict their driving privileges until after they prove they are irresponsible. hack89 Apr 2012 #16

We certainly do. Driver's must pass a written/drivingtest, must show proof of insurance, must pass hlthe2b Apr 2012 #19

Do you think guns should be regulated like cars? nt hack89 Apr 2012 #24

Your logic is the one failing ProgressiveProfessor Apr 2012 #18

Absolutely irrelevant hlthe2b Apr 2012 #20
