Just because some people are intimidated by the thought of owning or handling a gun, it shouldn't infringe on the rights of others who are not intimidated. Yes, I have fired a fully automatic weapon. Yes, I was trained to use it.

I doubt that the criminals you are referring to have ever obtained a weapon legally. I also doubt that they could pass records check that we have to go through to get a gun. Just because somebody purchases a weapon (legally) there is no reason to believe that they will loose their...

Right, because it is probably not who you think it was.
It doesn't matter who it was or what polital party they represent. We haven't had a president or congress set on preserving our rights in decades.

Can you tell I like this one?
It's a good one, and it's a very prophetic statement. Unfortunately, the sheeple like the warm and fuzzy feeling they get from...

Yes, look what happened in New Orleans after the storm. The Natl Guard and law enforcement confiscated weapons from law abiding people. The government should not have the power to disarm the populace.

No, but comparisons between the current government and Nazi Germany are just plain flat out silly. If y'all want to get partisan in this thread, fine. I'm very good at that. I have some strong opinions and facts about the previous administration where it comes to personal rights. But...

Personally, I would prefer that people remember Hitler and the Nazis and think of them whenever government is discussed. Remembering history is the only way that we can learn from it and prevent it from repeating itself.
Or maybe you would prefer that people forget history and just...

Truer words have never been spoken. Now all you squeaky wheels stop it. The majority is ruling.
Yes, and the majority thinks that there should be a right to bear arms. I think my next purchase will be a .22 pistol.

Well, if you're not in the car, he might break into it to see if there is gun to steal. Put the decal on your t-shirt and let the bad guys think you're armed.

If the right to bear arms is taken away and our grandchildren are faced with an oppressive government, the Constitution will be worthless. I don't think you understand my point. And the only way that we can be sure that the right to bear arms will not be taken away is to demand that...

It may not happen in our lifetime, but I want that right left there for my kids, grandkids, greatgrandkids, etc. We have to consider the long term, not just the here and now.
I suppose some day a new form of personal weapon will be developed that will make the firearm obsolete just as...

This is true - why dealers think women don't use guns is beyond me LOL But they will - Then they are mighty surprised to find out you know as much about a gun as they do! My DH buys our guns for this reason - I hate being treated like I am a teensy little woman that should be scared of...

Yes, and don't buy at the first table you come too .. we found prices further inside that were HALF of what the first few tables were ...
If you find a gun you like, get the dealer's business card and write the price on the back. Then if you find similar guns at another table, start...
Here is a link that shows a listing of gun shows for all of you looking to buy. I don't know about everywhere else, but in Nebraska the Fremont gun shows seem to be the best. I have always gotten better deals there. There are lots of tables and quite a bit of competition for business...
Personally, I think I'm better off clinging to my religion and guns than depending on the government, no matter who is in charge. If the POTUS, or anybody else, wants to look down their noses at me for it, too bad. It just shows their arrogance.
