Wow who knew I could come to a Chicken forum to debate Guns. My personal feelings are, the liberal left are out of they **** minds! Since when did this country ever allow the Government to tell us what we can and can't do? We are not in the UK, or the rest of the world. We are the USA! Our government is unlike any other in the world for a reason, freedom. The one thing that guarantees us our freedom and right to free speech is our right to bear arms. It doesn't matter what I need from day to day. If we lived according to only what we needed, we wouldn't have 95% percent of the items in our homes. They were needed when we won our independence from Britian, we will need them when the next invader invades, be it our own government or another Hitler. and you better believe having an unarmed Sociaty of civilians makes that task a thousand times easier!

ummmm.....always. As a citizen (or resident) of a country, you are subject to the laws of that country.
 
Dennis...I think that most people on whatever side they are on would recognize that I clearly answered your question. To be crystal clear, let me put it in ABC form. First, you must accept the FACT that it is the law of the land as interpreted by the Supreme Court that the 2nd amendment is subject to reasonable regulation. Second, the regulation that is currently being sought by quite a few of the individual States and the Federal Government as stated by the President is stricter laws on gun sales as it regards registration, smaller capacity gun magazines or clips, and some kind of a ban on what is being termed "assault type rifles" and that term has not been fully defined with the exception of NY which has already passed a ban. The fact that you say that "assault rifles" only account for a small part of homicides in this country is not the issue. The issue is....and get ready because here it comes for the tenth time.....are those types of restrictions reasonable regulations of the 2nd amendment. You may give all your reasons why they are not and others will give their reasons why they are reasonable. And guess what, neither you, them, the President or Congress will be the final arbiter of that question. It will eventually be the Supreme Court. You, and others have some legitimate arguments as does the other side. I can assure you that the question is not open and shut and whatever is eventually determined will be the law of the land, like it or not. At this point in time a pretty large majority of the American people believe that those types of restrictions are reasonable, but that alone, may not sway the Court. If the question went to the current court it would probably be a close decision, but I firmly believe that the Court would hold that the restrictions are reasonable for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that a similar restriction was previously in effect for ten years. Any argument that you make that says te previous restrictions were not effective would not only be irrelevant but would be effectively disputed as untrue because what is clear is that after the ban expired there were more crimes committed using assault type weapons.
