Otherwise, such 'good intention' gun laws only serve to disarm and harrass the law-abiding, ironically, creating an environment more conducive to crime.<BR/><BR/>Every gun law is unconstitutional. Paying a fee, filling out a form, getting a license, begging for permission, or clicking my heels together three times are all infringements on a Right that, by our Supreme Law, shall not be infringed.<BR/><BR/>My personal view, having sworn to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, is that the enemies of the Constitution can pass all the unconstitutional laws they want to. I simply won't comply with them. If armed men are sent to force compliance, I go to war.CorbinKalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190860109045068350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23800220.post-5328655530079132762008-11-27T09:03:00.000-05:002008-11-27T09:03:00.000-05:00Depending on details, and if it were a compromise ...Depending on details, and if it were a compromise also giving gun owners something I would probably agree. What we gain would not have to be big, and I think the most appropriate one would be to put handguns under the same residency rules as rifles. That would mean as long as a sale was legal in both states, it wold be legal according to federal law.Sevesteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439626386416115766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23800220.post-20617323024175724362008-11-27T05:55:00.000-05:002008-11-27T05:55:00.000-05:00I think that is a problem.

What about a background check for anybody and everybody? I would say that's a common sense approach that need not involve registering what guns each person owns, only that each person is eligible to own them. How's that sound?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23800220.post-64865800495606512172008-11-26T09:52:00.000-05:002008-11-26T09:52:00.000-05:00What do you think is the original intent of the se...What do you think is the original intent of the second amendment, written by people who had just revolted against a government they felt was tyrannical? <BR/><BR/>Luckily, guns are NOT the only thing that stands between us and tyranny. Rather, they are held in reserve as the last desperate defense against a tyrant when all else has failed, and as a deterrent to the tyrant fully realizing his plans. <BR/><BR/>What are the percentages of crime guns sourced via the "gun show loophole"? <BR/><BR/>Do you have a problem with law abiding gun owners selling to each other without paperwork?Sevesteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439626386416115766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23800220.post-24826752478978973352008-11-26T06:16:00.000-05:002008-11-26T06:16:00.000-05:00I enjoy your writing very much.

It's extremely clear.<BR/><BR/>Even though I have a strong distrust and dislike of the government, I find your statement about tyranny a bit unrealistic. To state that the guns in America are the only thing preventing a tyrant from rising up, to me sounds paranoid and self-aggrandizing (take no offense please). <BR/><BR/>Mainly what I'm thinking is the law-abiding gun owners and their 200,000,000 or so guns feed the criminals. This happens in several ways. Guns are transferred with no paper work to bad guys. Guns are stolen often by family members. And a small percentage of good guys go bad with addiction, alcoholism, depression or just good old crime.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.com
