There is no comparison! They need help...they seem to be massively paranoid people. They need handguns, semi-automatics, large clips, tons of ammunition to "protect" their families. Really? All of that? Are there that many bands of marauders roaming the country?? I can understand a hangun and a shotgun, but I can't see the need for all the rest.

There are no depths to which they will not sink. marmar Jan 2013 #1

Beginning in the 1970s gun control debate turned hyperbolic aikoaiko Jan 2013 #18
