Here's what I think should happen in the realm of gun control. [View all] sked14 Feb 2014 OP

You go guy/girl! We can all work for this, we just have to actually WORK for it. flamin lib Feb 2014 #1

Guy. sked14 Feb 2014 #2

I assumed as much as guns & guys seem to go together but flamin lib Feb 2014 #5

I think the OP doesn't actually believe in any gun control CreekDog Feb 2014 #60

Exactly, and he is most likely billh58 Feb 2014 #61

well someone should welcome him back CreekDog Feb 2014 #62

LOL! billh58 Feb 2014 #63

Not a bad list. I'd prefer tougher toting restrictions in cities and limits on gun acquisition. Hoyt Feb 2014 #3

That might be reaching too far and invite a backlash from gun owners, sked14 Feb 2014 #4

I'm talking about the gun owners who vote, don't discount them, sked14 Feb 2014 #7

The vast majority of gun abusers are right/white wingers. I doubt there are many true Democrats Hoyt Feb 2014 #8

And this is exactly why gun threads denigrate into sked14 Feb 2014 #10

A is the meme that tough gun laws will cost us votes. It won't. Those that obsessed with gunz Hoyt Feb 2014 #12

We will never have Australia or UK style gun laws, sked14 Feb 2014 #15

We won't if we keep proposing laws that won't stop gun proliferation and gun love. Hoyt Feb 2014 #19

I agree that we, as a nation, need to do something, sked14 Feb 2014 #20

Do you really think a Democrat that has a gun or 2 for hunting or home defense would feel alienated Hoyt Feb 2014 #21

The majority of gun owners these days aren't about hunting, sked14 Feb 2014 #22

Sorry, I don't think true Democrats will vote Republican over gunz. Hoyt Feb 2014 #23

Vote repub?.. never. SQUEE Feb 2014 #28

Sorry, withholding a vote is a vote for a Republican. You'd do that over gunz? Hoyt Feb 2014 #30

No, a vote for a Republican is a vote for a Republican. SQUEE Feb 2014 #32

Sorry that you are that enamored with gunz. I guess it's tough breaking free for some folks. Hoyt Feb 2014 #33

And there he goes. Packerowner740 Feb 2014 #26

There is that NRA billh58 Feb 2014 #45

Whatever, you seem to want nothing more than to argue rather than sked14 Feb 2014 #46

No, I want to make sure that billh58 Feb 2014 #47

No, what you want to do is attack anyone who has differing view than you do sked14 Feb 2014 #48

Let's not fall into the trap of painting with a broad brush. flamin lib Feb 2014 #13

You'll find he has a pretty extreme way of getting his ideas out there Packerowner740 Feb 2014 #25

It's really hard to legislate by description. flamin lib Feb 2014 #9

I really wouldn't mind paying a little bit more for ammo, sked14 Feb 2014 #11

I think a little more is needed. Hoyt Feb 2014 #14

I'd be willing to go as high as 5 cents more per bullet, anything sked14 Feb 2014 #17

You're preaching to the choir in here. SecularMotion Feb 2014 #16

Yeah, but it's out there and that's something' nt flamin lib Feb 2014 #18

I agree with everything except number 6 Packerowner740 Feb 2014 #24

Nobody with a 9mm will accept #7. indie9197 Feb 2014 #27

I see your point. sked14 Feb 2014 #29

Maybe it is irrational to think you need that capacity. In any event, that just shows gun fanciers Hoyt Feb 2014 #31

It's exactly your type of comments, along with the extreme fringes like Nugent, sked14 Feb 2014 #34

Anyone that thinks they need 14 or 16 capacity mags is delusional. I'm sorry, that's a fact. Hoyt Feb 2014 #37

Well then, carry on. sked14 Feb 2014 #38
