I bet a ton of people here are drinking heroin beer at Flames games and still driving home.
We are on the same side of this fight. I think you can look back at all my posts in the gun threads, I have never said I am against gun control. I have said repeatedly if they say I can't own an Ar-15 I will have no argument with that.
I just think most people here are wanting that plus what seems like an outlaw on hand guns which 1. wont happen and 2. I think is silly. Do I have handguns? Yes . Are my handguns locked away where it makes its hard for others to get to? Yes. Would I feel safer if I had one at my house for personal protection? Yes. Will my Canadian wife allow me to have one at my house?..... NO 
I feel like we arguing in circles. There is not one person around who can say anything or point out 1 statistic that will make me say ok F it , get rid of them all but also there isn't one thing I can say even it was the most logical thing in the world to make you guys say F it , let people have their guns.
We should just lock up the thread and be done with it. |
So you see this as an all or nothing issue? You think all those arguing against you want an all out gun ban? Frankly, I haven't noticed that sentiment on this forum for the most part, I would say opinions here are similiar to the measures proposed by the President. His proposals hardly constitute a wholesale gun ban.
