Gun Control

Even though I do hunt and have a concealed weapon permit, I am one that does understand some need for gun regulation. I don't understand why anyone besides our police or military needa semi automatic weapon.

I do concede that once we give up the right to own and or carry a semi automatic weapon, that priviledge will be lost and gone forever. The Liberals wacko's in our country will never give an inch on anything as they clearly demonstrated during the health care bills...

Gun do not kill people, people kill people. this is plain and simple. If you take the ability from an individual to hunt or defend themselves, our crime rate will skyrocket. Why? Because the law abiding citizens will surrender their guns and then only the criminals will be armed.

We have great examples of countries trying to do this, like Australia just recently. The crime rate went through the roof and so did violent crimes not just robbery. If a criminal doesn't fear being shot at they tend to become emboldened and will be much more agressive toward their potential victims.

We as Americans have failed to see the failing examples of socialized medicine in Canada and Europe and now we will learn that hard lesson on our own. Hopefully we won't have to learn this lesson no matter how many cowardly Liberal wacko's convince US to do so...

  1. Clint you are right that "that nobody but police and military needs a semi-auto weapon", but it is not a question of needing one but rather having the right to own one. I guess one could say you don't "need" a .300 mag., a .270 is big enough. Does that mean I don't have the right to own one? I am not one of them , but I know people that love to shoot their automatic guns into the hill side. It is not my right to tell them they should not have that weapon. Where does it end? Remember the sniper killer some years back? Next do we ban weapons with a great bc because nobody but the military and police "need" to shoot more than 600 yards?
