    Prior to the Pulse shooting, our most deadly shooting at Virginia Tech was done with 10 round mags, and one of the guns was a lowly .22.

    Looks like the usual suspects want to steer clear from this topic.

    Still nothing from the anti-gun crowd. Maybe I should post in a topic with more traffic.

    At least we can link back to this thread every time they bring up "assault weapons" and "mass shootings".

    The 4th Circuit Court just protected those for all time.

    Handguns are protected by the American People as long as there are Patriots and an America, those People against Handguns are unwittingly for America's Enemies and also undermine National Security.

    No My Loquacious friend, this opinion is what mirrored by every Concealed Carry permit holder, and Legions are added every day.

    You have failed.

    And yet there remain many gun control measures in place and more are added all the time. You seem to know failure as well my friend.

    Or rather, as a thought experiment, ban guns for everyone except participating members of the Republican party. I mean, the Venn diagram between street criminals and active Republican party members would show a very small overlap.
    I don't like Republican politics, but I reckon they would take the responsibility of gun ownership very seriously....

    You are correct, with more States going to Constitutional Carry, more are indeed added every day, I am glad to see you agree.

    Gun Control has failed.

    Gun control measures continue to be added in states. That is simply a fact. The current gun experiment has falied miserably

    Gun ownership is indeed very serious.

    Life is very serious business as I well know.

    I was on the front lines long enough to learn that Party lines Should Not define Civil Rights.

    Communications is a Great example, we have a Right to Free Speech, however, when using Radio, there are established Regulations that govern use of Language, ie Obscenities etc.

    Amateur Radio is even stricter, as the purpose of such is non business and for personal personal communications and for Emergency traffic relating to saving lives.

    Yet, with all those rules, oversight of most functions have been turned over to non FCC volunteers with Great success.

    Licensed Amateur Radio Operators, like Concealed Carry permit holders are among the Law Abiding Citizens, there are some serious violators occasionally, they are very few however.

    Amateurs constitute a very important part of the population, as do other important elements of Society.

    It is very Easy to criticise Hunters, Concealed Carry, Firearms owners,
    It is hard to step up to the plate and get training, to help others in Time of need.

    It has not failed, it has succeeded.

    CONCEALED CARRY
    says it all.
    It is the growing standard, and every day, increasing by leaps and bounds.

    The agony of de feet and the bitter taste is by your own choice, for you, I prefer the sweet taste of Victory.

    So you think no gun control measures are being added in the states? Interesting head in the sand approach

    Gun control is being added in a few states. It's being decreased in more states. Net is a gain for gun rights.

    However, 30 years ago, not many States had Concealed Carry, now most States are Shall issue and Constitutional Carry is increasing..

    In the last 30 years states have passed numerous gun control laws

    Overall, things favor the correct side.
