Southerners love their guns. Not saying nobody else in the US would possibly give/receive ammo/guns or appreciate either of them, but it does seem much MUCH more appreciated down south. --- End quote --- Hell ya! My uncle got a new Ruger .380 and a box of shells for Christmas. I got a .38 special +P for my birthday and some ammo. It's pretty common here in Missouri. Almost everyone I know has or is wanting to get their concealed carry. --- End quote --- Why do people WANT to carry concealed weapons? If it's a safety thing, I would much rather relocate than carry a gun. |

Ya, I know, that's what every hillbilly Joe says, but it is true. In all actuality crime doesn't localize itself. People can't afford to relocate as you say you would just because it may be a little bit more dangerous. I really get tired of people saying that other that decide they want to carry a gun on them shouldn't be able to. Did you know that 99% of people that carry guns are doing it the legal way? Why would I want to purchase all these permits just to go commit a crime. Honestly you should be thankful for the people who do carry concealed because it actually does help keep the crime rate down. Why do people want to take away rights? Live and let live man. That's the only way to be. Don't take it as me harking at you because I'm not. Just trying to be informative. So lets give this example. The people start to see videogames as a threat to humanity because of that 1% of people who believe that they are actually in the game. They start robbing, killing, and just start doing things Gran Theft Auto style. All the sudden it becomes a big issue and they want to start banning video games. Is that fair to the other 99% of people? No. So why are we trying to take things away and saying that the 99% of legal gun owners/concealed carriers shouldn't be able to do what they want when they are NOT doing anything wrong? This also applies to the Gay Rights, Religion, Political Views, etc. On top of that. Look at our Government right now. It's a big pile of steaming shit. They treat the U.S. citizens like crap. Take away from the people who actually try to have a good life and give it away the the lazy asses who doesn't want to do anything. Don't get me wrong there are people who legitimately need some sort of help. But there are way more people who abuse this kind of help. The day that American citizens get disarmed is the day that the Government has complete control over everyone and what will stop them when they become a Tyrant? Nothing. Who will stop all the new and more abundant crime when it arises? Not the Police, they barely can take care of what happens now. And definitely not the Government because they don't care in the first place. Plus it's really fun to go target practicing. ;D So please inform me why it is such a big deal on why people carry guns on them again? Sorry for the rant. This just bugs me that someone always thinks I shouldn't have what I want to have when I'm not using it to hurt others. |

It's an awesome freedom and responsibility to be able to own a firearm. My dad used to shoot trap. I'd like to get into that eventually but he already warned me that it's expensive. I plan to start with a handgun and just practice target shooting before I pick up any other guns. |

This just bugs me that someone always thinks I shouldn't have what I want to have when I'm not using it to hurt others. --- End quote --- Mostly all of this. It's different than how I would have said it, but it's basically how I feel on the subject. If some jerk wants to kill people they can do it with a car, knife, rope, poison, a rock, ect. Banning guns won't prevent this. It will end one of the very important rights we still have in this country. Pretty sick of the liberal media. Eric and Barry sum it up well.

Wow, that's quite a rant. I didn't make any judgement about it, and regardless of rights, I just asked why someone would WANT to carry one. I can easily get a shotgun license for hunting purposes, and most houses round here have guns for this purpose, I just wouldn't want to have one, as I don't hunt. I can't conceive of living in a society where regular people on the high street are carrying weapons. I grew up in London, so I'm fully aware of the fact that 'gun crime' is committed by a minority of people who are criminals, who run in criminal circles, and get their guns illegally. If I lived somewhere where I felt I needed to carry a weapon to I would move. I can only assume that there is some kind of bravado and kudos associated with it. I may be wrong but I just don't get it. |
