Reply #60: Okay, I've read some of it.

Here's the problem with what you're talking about. It's not just criminals that are a problem in the gun owning society. It's also idiots. So many children are killed every year because their idiotic parents couldn't keep those guns out of their kid's hands and couldn't effectively teach them to stay away from the guns. I read once that most people shot in their own house are shot with their own gun. I'm guessing that some of these people are having their own guns used on them when a criminal breaks in.

There's also an issue that whenever a criminal is found with a gun, the gun can normally be traced back to somebody who bought it legally. Obviously, the owner was too irresponsible to keep themselves from selling a gun to a criminal or to somebody who would eventually sell it to a criminal. If a gun is registered in your name, then it's your responsiblity to make sure that gun never gets into the hands of a criminal.

If you want all these strong gun rights, then you need to start coming up with solutions to problems.

I liked that sterotypes part of your message. Here's another dumb stereotype. The gun owner is a right winger. Since the country's so divided with everybody fearing the other side, I want to make a bet that there was an increase in leftists buying a gun after Bush won again. lol. I am not threatening anybody, but I'm thinking that it would be very foolish for the American left to be without a gun right now. That's putting all the guns in the hands of right wingers (a few of which are crazy as hell). Most people would not hurt you for political reasons, but it only takes one. As long as guns are this easy to access, I think leftists in America need to have one. Now, I'm getting off the subject.
