    That is possibly the dumbest thing i have heard all day. Do guns have mind control devices built in them? Do you suffer from weird impulses? do you see a gun and start shaking, needing to kill? Maybe YOU have the mental problem. Just because you are screwed up doesn't give you the right to punish the rest of us sane people.

    I don't think I suffer from murderous impulses or poor impulse control but rather obviously some people do. And I'm not the one saying I should be permitted to have something that can easily kill many people. Why do you feel the need to have such a thing? People like you scare sane people like myself.

    As you well know that the frequency of random violence has increased due the reasons I have already given

    To protect myself, my family, and to help keep the federal government in check.

    You're the one saying it should be harder for law abiding people to get such a thing. People willing to break the law will still be able to get guns illegally. Its them you should be scared of. And just remember, when they break into your home, you'll be alone with them for at least minutes (likely longer) before the police arrive, assuming they let you get to a phone.

    Non sequitur, There in NO logical connection in your case.

    OTOH these atrocities are being done WITH the very weapons we are discussing.

    Once again, can you shoot someone with a gun that isn't there, yes or freaking no?

    I don’t see what part of that is murder. But whatever floats your boat.

    How are you going to use the gun to "keep the government in check"?

    The things liberal culture teaches children lead to chaos and mass murder

    I have answered it many times

    If a wacko runs over you with a car you are just as dead as if he shot you with a gun

    But it surely helps
    So?. And you've not answered the direct question even once. You've gone off on all sorts of tangents and distractions but you've gotten further and further from the question all the time.

    If you consider threat of violence to keep rights and liberties spelled out in the constitution secure, then we have different definitions. Besides, with hundreds of millions of gun owners, violence is pretty much guaranteed not to happen. That’s why we keep firearms. To keep them in check, So that it doesn’t come to bloodshed.

    It's still the threat of murder, and even just the threat is an ugly and uncivilized thing. If it ever comes to that most people think that our country will be gone already when that happens. IMO it's much preferable not to even have that alternative at all.

    Guns are not the problem

    The sickness in our society is what threatens us

    Lucky for the country that is all it is, your opinion.

    Funny how it is civilized when this country sent me to kill in its name, but heaven forbid I stand up for what I believe in and back it up with lethal force.
    I’ll take an uncivilized, dangerous, and ugly world where I am free to defend myself and my family over a civilized one where I need to rely on others to keep myself and my family safe. I trust myself over police any day of the week. Not that I don’t respect them and the tough job that they do, but when it comes to my personal defense, I can do it better.

    Lol, someone who thinks gun owners will sit idly by while their constitutional rights are violated.
