Personal question Woody, and if you don't want to answer I understand. Do you have any firearms?
Yep.
I live in Texas. I was born and raised around them. I do not, however, hunt. Too damn early for me.

Did he say that? You can't have ANY gun? I don't think he has.
He is certainly making it harder for people to own a gun in the first place. Its getting worse, for example he just announced he wants the 47,000 people on the "No Fly List" banned from owning guns. There are alot of innocent people on that list, no due process which is unconstitutional. Kids are on that list. U.S. Marines, congressmen, journalists, nuns, as well as federal air marshals are on that list. Its crazy I know, but Obama is a crazy blood thirsty war mongering power hungry dictator.
He went to school in Indonesia which may have influence in regards to that. Indonesia is the biggest Muslim country in the world.
As far as his religious beliefs, his lack of human ethics in his Presidency leads me to believe even if he thought he was a christian, he is not a christian.

.......... It is an argument that makes you look stupid.
Putin said it best "with Obama in control ISIS will never die" .
The party who wants to have less guns, less war, help the poor, accept human beings, exhibit tolerance, earth/environment living, etc. has been twisted into the antichrist. While the party of the rich, intolerant, war mongering, gun loving, xenophobes has been sold to you as the party of Jesus Christ himself. What a freaking joke.
Both parties are a scam, but Jeezus Krist, I can't even make the logical connection. Religion and politics and logic are molded to what groups want them to be. Fuk logic goes right out the window.
Are you under the impression I am a die-hard Obama supporter?
I've not once stood up for any of his policies. I've just pointed out fallacies in arguments against him. I'm being objective.
You can't equate wanting to ban assault rifles and people on the know fly list to banning ALL fire arms. They are not the same. It is an argument that makes you look stupid.
We just fukk about here woody its nothing personal m8 !im a Russian Canadian Mexican American haha !!!
I'm a proud Mexican Jew transgender LGBT supporter and diehard liberal feminist.
IMO the US has been sucking Israel's **** for too long. Israel is one of the reasons why groups like ISIS exist.
I'm not taking things personal. I suppose its hard to convey tone on a forum.
If you believe a ban on assault rifles is the same as a ban on all guns, I don't feel bad for calling you stupid. It is not the same. You can own pistols. You can own rifles. You can own shotguns. Those are firearms. Which you can own. Despite 'ALL' being banned.
Sure, regulation of any kind can lead to more and more regulation. The same can be said about deregulation. Having ZERO gun control is a bad idea. In fact, it is a down right terrible idea. Can you get guns on the black market? Sure. You can buy a liver on the black market. You can buy heroin. That doesn't mean it isn't a legitimate government interest.
As far as the do not fly list. There are also a lot of suspected terrorists on the list.
Or you know... America is one of the reasons. George Bush, for example. But we can blame it on Israel.

Maybe it's time for a break. We should all go back to guessing the next PES Select flavor.

.......with assault rifles in the hands of the most unqualified gullible clowns?.
I am an LGBT supporter. I am also a gun owner. I believe in prison reform, education reform, and welfare reform. I don't think Muslims and Muslim extremist are the same. I believe we have been at war with Islam since forever, and you cannot kill an ideology going back thousands of years with far. That being said, i believe ISIS should be eradicated.
I know I'll regret it, but to whom are you referring?

I don't think you realize how hard the government has made it to get a concealed carry license.
Unqualified people basically. I don't know you or your level of common sense, intelligence, or anything. But can you tell me that you don't think there are a few thousand guns in the hands of people who probably shouldn't have them? Legally.
I'm not anti gun. I'm anti idiot.

Ok.....I can go along with that. The problem is, who decides who gets to and who doesn't? Because it's not ALL going to be black and white. Much like the No Fly List. If you look at SOME of the people on it, why shouldn't they be allowed to buy a gun? Unfortunately, it's an all or nothing deal that I have issues with.
You're right it has to be the right set up. But we have no problem for stripping constitutional rights for someone who made a mistake in life. I'm a felon. But I'm not an idiot. I made some mistakes earlier in life that have stripped me of my rights. A fully functioning, opinionated, member of society would-be voter, if I could. I'd also like to own a hand gun to protect my home and family legally. But I can't. You see it's an "all or nothing" mindset for felons.
If its a felon who didnt commit a violent act, I see no problem allowing full 2nd amendment rights. If a violent criminal we would have to look things over before forming an opinion and look into individual cases.
Rand Paul was pushing to restor Constitutional rights for felons back in 2013. Invalid Link Removed
And to what standard do you hold those individual cases?
Nice talk people, hitting the sack you all have a nice and safe night!
And to what standard do you hold those individual cases?
Thats a good question. Attempted murder Conviction vs drug interactions. Thats a good debate.

And similar considerations, mental health, behavioral past/patterns, a fuuking reference or two, can't be made for anybody else looking to buy a gun? Especially high powered guns. I really don't care if Joe-Bob has a shot gun or 30/30. But if he wants an AR-15 he needs to show that he's capable to some standard and consideration.
Which also needs to be evaluated by case. I don't know you, but I've read enough of your posts to know that you're not an idiot. Unfortunately, we have people who are in charge that are idiots, and too many people who are afraid of felons, or blacks, or rednecks, or muslims, and feel that they need protected from them. I prefer to make my own decisions based on a persons actions, and can protect my family myself.

Which is why people should love CCW permits. For most states (all but 7), you have to pass an extensive background check (state and federal in some states) and submit fingerprints, as well as demonstrating marksmanship skills and pass classroom testing. They know who you are and what you have. I have possessed a Concealed Carry Permit for 22 years.
