I don't like how our rights are determined on how a persons opinion is. If I want a ak-47 than I should be able to get one...its my right! I mean jeez man, the next thing you know they'll be telling us what kinda car to drive, what kinda house to live in, what type of food to eat. I don't like it at all! This stuff is crooked SERIOUSLY!!!!

Perhaps studying history, philosophy and political science might help one better understand the arguments as compared to ranting.
Nor is it useful to just post throw-away comments here or in other subforums. That's a hint.

Ok thats a good point Tom Servo. But my main point is just that politics can be a headache sometimes.

interesting thread but we gun owners have to educate folks that a "assult rifle" is a rifle that is capable of burst/automatic fire, not the semi-auto sportized cousins we all know and love.

Yep, and Romney also said he'd support a new AWB if both sides of Senate agreed on it.
Just like they did the last time. That said, the votes aren't there, so I'm not worried. I'll reiterate my warning that we not let this devolve into political discourse.

I was wondering if last night's short firearms speech from the president would find itself in a post today. I dont think he's making a strong argument for or against gun control at this time...he was addressing a question from a woman who asked a direct assault weapons question as it related to the victims in Aurora. His objective seemed to be directed towards assuaging the victims' families anger over this issue. Seems to me that neither candidate poses a strong threat against NRA or 2A in general. Assault weapons seem to have been next on the chopping block for some time...but nobody is making a strong effort against them.
Personally, I feel safe for a while. Thoughts? |

Stainless: I believe you are misled. Obama does say he wants AWB. Romney did say he doesn't want one. Clear difference.

I'm on the fence this election and Ill leave personal opinions out of this thread for obvious reasons.....that was just my take on his AWB stance. It's certainly not a hot item on his agenda thats for sure....he has too many other but button topics to address. I just hope it stays that way. He had a difficult task of addressing the question without stepping on NRA toes.
FACT: He said he FULLY supports 2A and always has in last night's speech. I just hope it sticks! |

I think the debate last night will light a fire under those folks who have been thinking about buying a firearm.

Seriously? Not making a strong stand against them? When someone says they want to BAN something, that is a pretty strong stance.
An he Alluded to handguns as well... Truth is, if re-elected he does not have to respond or answer to anyone after this 4 year term. First term is always a keep cool phase second term is where their real agenda comes into play. what he is calling regulation and control sounds more like a disarming, I hate to say it but 4 more years of Obama sounds more like a prison sentence than a presidential term.

Nine political posts, immediately after Tom Servo's warning.
That's it, we're done. |
