157. Jesus johnson.
"For instance is it our RIGHT to have plastic guns that don't show up in metal detectors?"

Do you really believe there is a such thing as a plastic gun that doesn't show up on metal detectors? Really?

I'd sure like to know how and why you believe such a thing, because THERE IS NO SUCH THING.

I SAY AGAIN, THERE IS NO SUCH THING. The do not exist, anywhere other than in the imagination.


"Why should a product as deadly as a gun be unregulated?"

Whom exactly is making an argument for no regulation what so ever? It wasn't me. its not the nra, since they support background checks on all retail gun purchases, and prohibition of gun ownership for the violent, the felons, and the insane. So who is it thats making these arguments?

My stance is no FURTHER regulation. Which is quite a different thing that no regulations at all.

"What types of regulations on today's weapons are needed for the general health and welfare?"

First, one must come to terms with what is permissable, and not, in terms of regulation.

If government can not be bothered to follow the rules imposed on its governance by we the people, why should there be any discussion of laws at all...they become meaningless. If government doesn't have to follow the rules that apply to it, why should anyone in society feel the need to follow any rules handed down from government?

Its a two way street.
