First, to be fair I own handguns but favor rifles for shooting, home defense and hunting. But I understand the "slippery slope" about if we allow govn't to take away our rights to own any gun soon it will lead to laws prohibiting all weapons.
But IMHO as a novice and as the song says, "handguns are made for killing they arn't much good for nothing else." So give me the other reasons as to why prohibiting further sales of handguns made after 2010 would be a bad thing? If only rifles and shotguns (ie. firearms with non folding stocks over 18 inches) were all that was allowed to be produced and sold for public consumption in the US. The law would NOT prohibit sale or purchase of handguns already in existance through the end of 2009. How would this effect YOU personally?
I know this is a touchy subject, so please don't just flame me and say I'm an idiot or unamerican. Give me some real reasons that such a law would adversly effect the US in a negative way.
Thanks for your thoughts.
