Barack Obama's campaign promise not to take away our guns is a lie.

[The NRA calls] people who support gun control cowards, as mentioned..

So you're saying everyone should carry a gun with them everywhere they go, just incase someone else is carrying a gun? And carrying the gun will make me brave... because my gun is bigger than everyone else's? Or because everyone else doesn't have a gun?


With your logic you probably don't see the irony that by carrying a gun everywhere you go to alleviate suspcion of all you meet, you are infact showing a greater fear than those that choose to go into in life unarmed.


And a further irony is that, by you carrying a gun everywhere into an otherwise unarmed populace or situation you are generating the fear that a terrorist would hope to achieve. Fear of an uneducated, narrow-minded gun toting fundamentalist whose only solution to an argument or a situation that upsets them is a gun


In all armed conflict situations I would prefer a military or protective services trained profesional to handle the situation. Someone trained to use a fire arm and is mentally prepared for "terrorist" engagements, not some Dirty Harry movie addict who shoots at paper targets on the weekends at a range and then on holidays shoots at beer bottles with his drunk buddies.

I believe in and support the Second Amendment.


I strongly dislike stereotypes about people who choose to own guns. I think people who cling to stereotypes about gun-owners are prejudiced, bigoted, small-minded people.


I strongly dislike stereotypes about people who choose not to own guns. I think people who cling to stereotypes about non-gun-owners are prejudiced, bigoted, small-minded people.


I don't want criminals to have guns. But gun control laws do not prevent criminals from having guns, because criminals simply ignore them.


If you do not wish to exercise your right to own firearms, that is your choice: it's a right, not an obligation.


I will assume your decision not to own firearms is as carefully considered as my decision to own firearms. I will not attribute small-mindedness or irrationality to you; I bear you, a non-gun-owner, no animosity or condescension.


In return, I ask that whether you choose to own firearms or not, you do not interfere with the right of other law-abiding people to do so.

look at the history of countries that mandated registering all firearms.

I'm curious where such a list exists. Do you have a link?
