    The fact that you think I'm gun banner speaks to your level of ignorance.

    Possibly, lately I do tend to jump to conclusions.

    Hmmm

    Anthrax.... A live bacteria that is NOT able to be controlled by you and has NO other goal of existence than to replicate which causes death in humans.....

    Gun... A piece of steel that does nothing if YOU do not make it.....

    Yep.... I don't get it either... WOW!

    For the same reason you can't have weapons grade plutonium or 50 cases of dynamite. These type of things have inherent dangers where as a gun does not. A gun can sit in a box for years and do nothing. The box can be opened and still nothing will happen. The gun takes someone acting upon it. Anthrax and plutonium become dangerous if their packaging is opened. Even dynamite will eventually deteriorate and become dangerous. The gun can be taken out of its packaging and can lay on a table for a thousand years and do little more than rust.

    Just sayin'

    you mean I could buy guns in any state of the union? that my license to carry a firearm is good in all fifty states and I can get it at age 16? that I could own a firearm that has more power than anything the cops have? that I don't need to have a license for it if I only use it on private property? that the Democrat party doesn't try to ban any type of gun?

    I don't think you understand your own claim

    those dangerous items are not self defense weapons either. sort of hard to stop someone breaking into your home with weaponized anthrax or a nuke or even a satchel charge

    Again though, that nagging little issue. Cars or the right to individual private transportation are not mentioned in the Constitution.

    The point remains the same. And gun control is constitutional

    I disagree with you on gun control being Constitutional but I think we can agree that the right to a car is not a Constitutional guarantee.

    You know, I sometimes think we SHOULD let some of you have things like Anthrax, or c4.... I mean, I know it would cost a little to clean up the mess, but at some point, we have to purge the system... (If you can't understand what I'm saying and see through the sarcasm, maybe you shouldn't reply) I always say... Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers... but hey that's just me!

    Anybody got the stats on non-gun owner deaths vs. auto accidents? I'm thinking it was over 100 million unarmed people murdered and starved to death by their own governments in the last century.

    Yea, I'd say there were a few killed by their own government in the last century.... Of course those more liberal minded people would like for us to forget that because it goes against their gun grabbing tactics.
    If you're interested, there is a good bit of info on the subject at the following website. Id really point out maps.... It's interesting to see that the US is blank even though I know for a fact it's not true. Think about the execution of all the Native Americans....
