dbHunterNY Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Figured I'd share this response i made in another forum about what guns were used to do harm to people in recent shootings. Different spin on things that i'd hadn't thought of until then. ....however, that doesn't change any results of what happened. that said i think it is immoral to compare me, a gun owner of an AR-15 or any gun, to these horrific individuals acting on horrible intentions. say a SOBER driver in a sports car going too fast plows over a bunch of kids playing in the street. that still doesn't give me the right to say an anti-gun person or anyone else's sports car should be taken away or made ridiculously hard to keep. My reasoning would not be so concrete if it was simply due to another individuals negligence and the fact that it's performance exceeds other cars. All vehicles should be stripped of their HP to go max of 30 mph and all options, radio/audio systems included, should be banned. That way drivers have limited characteristics to distract them or allow them to plow someone over and kill them. Seem reasonable? one individual's freedoms start where another individual's ends. ...that about sums it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I agree with that. Take mag restrictions down to 2 rounds and there's still mad killing going to happen I can assure you. It's just a horrible sensational situation that has our 2nd amendment rights at stake. I'm sorry but there is no way to prevent these occurrences without a complete iron fist over the population and even then these things will happen from time to time. Just my 2 cents.

wtnhunt Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 one individual's freedoms start where another individual's ends. Yep, that sums it up. It would be negligent on the part of lawmakers to attempt to remove our rights. Criminals who have obtained weapons illegally will never give them up, leaves the general public who are unarmed in harm's way. Hearing today that Obama is going to "flex his muscles" on gun control soon, whatever the heck that is supposed to mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I guarantee alcohol kills more children every year because of drunk driving than guns do. Never hear anything about any more restrictions on on alcohol do we? By the way, isnt drunk driving illegal? Thats really working out well. It is completely idiotic to think that gun restrictions will stop violent shootings. Just stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obama assigned Biden to lead a task force on gun control, none other than Eric Holder sitting beside him. Reported just a while ago that Obama may exercise executive order on gun control measures in order to do what he feels needs done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is completely idiotic to think that gun restrictions will stop violent shootings. Just stupid. Been saying the same thing on alcohol and driving. Would also go out on a limb a bit and say the number of teens being killed due to texting and driving probably far outnumber the number of murders in this country by AR style rifles. Where is the outcry for banning cell phones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
