What's the matter with you?
I said exactly what I meant to say. Do you think a background check would have stopped all the lunatics out there? I just said that they CAN get them real easy.
No legislation can ever be written to stop someone from getting hold of a weapon.
Guns don't kill people, the bullets do. How about starting a campaign to prevent easy access to ammunition?
Hell, I'd sign a petition advocating that. An empty gun can't hurt anyone.

"...if all guns are already checked?" Jenoch Sep 2013 #88

This seems more like a Gun Control Reform Activism thread. I'd be happy to post a reply over there. NYC_SKP Sep 2013 #9

People have talked endlessly BainsBane Sep 2013 #11

I didn't see the one in GD, so I owe you an apology. NYC_SKP Sep 2013 #14

It is indeed a challenge BainsBane Sep 2013 #17

yeah, right. Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2013 #18

I'm sorry you find so objectionable the idea of keeping guns out of the hands of criminals BainsBane Sep 2013 #23
