I wouldn't mind owning the Golden Gun.. But on a more sensible note,all guns should be banned.

My roommate has a shotgun so technically there is a gun in the house. Sorry man, I'm not laughing at you, but that's just so Texan.

Although I wouldn't be opposed to owning a gun when I get my own place I'm on the fence with gun control. I have a pyromaniac tendency, and like fires and things that go boom, but at the same time, there are some people who I don't trust with guns, like Dick Cheney and Charlton Heston. Oh, and the NRA is such a fucking stupid idea.

There is a saying, "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns." That is right-wing, pro-gun rhetoric.
In a civilized society, there is no need for guns. Now we just have to get civilized.

I feel very strongly about this subject. I am definitely for stronger gun laws. How is it that this very disturbed boy, with a past record of inhabitance in a mental hospital, having been investigated twice on stalking charges, with a history of suicidal tendencies, was able to walk into a gun store and walk out with a Glock semiautomatic? No background check, just plunk down your credit card.
I understand that there are law-abiding citizens who, for whatever reason, want to own guns. Personally, I don't see a reason for it, but that is their right. What I don't understand is, why do they oppose having to WAIT for it? If you have to be investigated, fingerprinted, whatever, and it takes days or weeks, what is the big deal? What is the all-important rush to have it that very moment?
According to a CDC study, you would have to add the gun-related deaths per 100,000 people of Austria, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Gemany, Spain, Hungary, Japan, Hong Kong and Scotland together to surpass the gun-related deaths per 100,000 people in the United States in one year. Are the people of the US more violent, or could it be that the other countries have more stringent gun control??

I don't even think a handgun provides the primary purpose of protection. I mean, think why any weapons are developed; it's all about war. We develop weapons that'll give us the upper-hand in battle, and then we continue to update them, making them more potent and harmful. Then, they're adopted domestically for "protection".
Weapon-induced violence is the fault of mankind's own insecurity.

Mig, as I said, law-abiding citizens have the right to own guns if they want, but why is there an objection by some to waiting periods? What is the rush?
Obviously, you are fairly careful about keeping your guns. I worked for an architect who used to do a lot of work in the city in some questionable neighborhoods, so he carried a gun. He came home from work to shower, and left his gun on his bed. His wife walked into the bedroom and found their two year old son holding a fully loaded gun. Unfortunately, people are stupid, and that has a lot to do with why the USA leads the World Bank's richest countries in gun-related deaths.
Personally, I've never felt the need to protect myself that badly. But that's me.

My hubby has I believe a 9mm under our mattress. The way the world is these days you need all the protection you can get. He tosses Mig a bag. Mig shuts the door to the bathroom. Then she puts the bag in the bathtub and unravels the rags. The wad of rags hides an assortment of guns. I feel just as strong as SB does about guns but the opposite. We have them for protection and my husband is a hunter. We keep them under lock and key with trigger locks. Except for the one under the mattress. So what's wrong with that? Ahh, I wasn't giving my opinion in that post either way. It was the scene with Clemenza and Vito from GFII, remember it Miggy?
