Do you deny that there are people and groups that oppose civilian ownership of guns? hack89 Jan 2013 #9

They are as delusional as you are... Jeff In Milwaukee Jan 2013 #23

In turn, can you understand... Orrex Jan 2013 #8

So if private citizens should not be allowed to own certain semi-automatic rifles hack89 Jan 2013 #11

You'd need to convince me that such a database would do more harm than good Orrex Jan 2013 #17

Just phrase the laws in such a way to keep actual possession legal hack89 Jan 2013 #22

Logic flaw: Slippery Slope Taverner Jan 2013 #55

No. But there is not a lot of trust between the two sides at the movement hack89 Jan 2013 #57

I think in the interest of the country, the gun side should be at least willing to negotiate Taverner Jan 2013 #60
