It seems that everyone here is agreed that guns are weapons when they are employed as such, and that my/your guns are for hunting, and/or self defence, and/or competition.
This brings me to my next point: Why are the anti-gun sheeple still anti-gun sheeple? Where is the breakdown in communication.... do they seriously
seriously think that the statistics are wrong? That a gun ban would actually stifle crime, that making it harder to buy guns will actually keep criminals from being able to get guns, that CCW carriers are a threat to everyone around them, even though they went through a background check and voluntarily put themselves on the grid by submitting thier fingerprints? Do they really think that terrorists currently have no access to .50 BMG rifles and ammunition but if they did they would be shooting down planes left and right?? It is absolutely stupifying that they could walk around feeling so highly of themselves with thier noses in the air and tell me that no matter what proof is put infront of them, no matter how many people save lives with guns, that they are still evil and must be removed from the planet. I feel like a Jew in Germany. I believe it was Heinrich Himmler that said something to the effect of "Civilians don't need guns. If you want to shoot guns, join the military." I feel like the left-wing SS is coming after my guns in a round-about way to
TAKE my liberty away. You don't see them going after child molesters the way they go after guns. Am I ranting, or does this make sense? God Bless America for giving them the right to do whatever they want, but damn them to hell for trying to take away my right to defend myself and live a free happy life.
In Idaho, we register sex offenders, not guns.
Edited to include:
My firearms are tools used to end sufferring like a horse with a broke leg, protect my investment in cattle from coyotes, eradicate vermin infesting my land like gofers who make those pitfalls, and to put food on the table.
They call it a mini 14
ranch rifle for a reason. Do they think I'm mass murdering on my farm?
A friend of mine's father went on CNN a few years ago when they re-introduced wolves to Northern Idaho, he told the world he was going to kill as many wolves as possible so they would stop eating his cattle. Every tree humper in the US cried foul because "Wolves are beautiful animals." Give me a break. I would want to protect the wolves if I was blindly inconsiderate, ignorant, and they aren't eating my way of life. But I'm ranting again, appologies.
