Is gun control a basic tenet of Democratic ideals?

50. If you gotta carry -- which few do -- a .38 snub is probably the most logical unless you

are planning to shoot at a lot of folks or need the extra "compensation."

I wonder, how do you feel about semi-auto rifles with more than say a 5 or 6 shot magazine? I suppose semi-auto pistols ought to figure in too.

Personally, if gunners were content with revolvers, we wouldn't have much of a gun problem. I suppose one could perpetrate a mass shooting with one, but not very likely. Plus, most folks aren't going to stockpile a ton of small revolvers or parade around with them like the fools above. They are adequate for the still unlikely self-defense needs, but not going to embolden people to blast away like in they were in a war zone.
