Realistically that's spot on.

Definitely noise is up there. Something else is that some guns kick back really hard. I think people get scared that they might have the pistol come back and hit them in face or have the shotty knock them down. Even in reality my 9mm isn't going to hit you in the face unless your doing...

I don't think the US has the logistical capacity to be able to do a full scale confiscation anytime soon....

That's too perfect of a set up for some funny clever answers

I agree with you ezypikns. This situation is just like one of those Socratic paradoxes. Your not a peace officer or your not batman, but if you just stand there and watch a defenseless person..... In the situation that your instructor gave. I don't think there is a right answer to...

Is it even logistically possible for the gov. to take everyone's guns?? Gaining warrants and searching ~43-55 million households should be a problem. No American with half a brain should give up their 4th and 5th amendment right. That alone should make it 10x as hard. Who is going to be...

to the OP It's not rocket science. It doesn't matter if you have a singleshot .410 or a decked out AK that would make any russian proud. The basic functions are still similar enough that most gun owners could figure it out. It would be hard to imagine vast amounts of "gun owners" who...

I chose to leave my ccw under the seat and follow the law here and vote unarmed. However, the 6 or 7 old ladies that were running the place have all known my dad since he was born and also known me since I was born. So I probably didn't have anything to worry about there.

Maybe he should take a look at the ammo section of his gun store too. IMO there is a big difference between 2 - 5 cents per shot and 25 - 30 cents per shot. A friend just bought a used MarkIII for around 300ish. I bet his whole magazine full of bullets cost less than 1 or 2 of my...

I live on a farm and I rarely go to a range and shoot; I just walk about my back door. Paper and cans are a pain since you either have to go clean them up or(hides from environmentalists) keep shooting them until they sink. I found one of these 5lb flat plate weight laying around the garage...

That's kind of irrelevant isn't it? 1. Even if the percentage of stopped crimes is very low; the fact that SOME have been stopped still makes guns viable for defense. The US D.o.J website says there are on average 27.7(attemped or completed) rapes per 1000 college women...

I guess it depends on how you define whether a law works or not. From a legal standpoint it works yes "bring a gun here....face this charge" From the moral/philosophical standpoint..These laws have an intended consequence with them, most of which are something like "to stop or reduce the...

Doesn't this show that the gun free zone didn't work Until everyone(including criminals) respects the GFZ they won't work.

The context to which I understood it to mean was: People are buying guns to protect themselves from others who may turn to crime since times are bad.
