What "facts?" Nothing relevent to this discussion.
No, I just dismissed it

Since you just want to ban guns, the facts you should look at is the
wonderful success of banning drugs. That worked well didn't it?


I don't think BOA said he *wants* to ban guns. In fact, he said he'd
like to have one.

He said "Me, my hands are clean. Never bought a gun. Don't want to
support the death industry."

So how the hell do you think that means I want to ban guns?
I've said explicitly that I want the 2nd kept.
It's good insurance against government.
Actually I forgot about the Marlin .22 semi-auto rifle I
bought for rabbit hunting years ago at Sears.
But I don't rabbit hunt now, so I have no need for a gun.
And I don't want to support the death industry.
Got plenty of guys like you for that.

I was responding to Richard's comment that you wanted a gun. It is
clear how you really feel, no matter how you quibble about it.

What's the quibble? You said I want to ban guns. I don't.
You're the one who's quibbling.


You say you want "good insurance against the government" and then you
want to let the government decide who they are going to let "limit"
them.
I really think that armed revolt thing is not a very good reason to
have the 2d amendment rights anyway but when I hear anti gun people
saying it my bull**** detector goes off.



I think I agree...that being able to press an armed revolt against the
government is not a very good reason for the Second Amendment. It's too
bad we let the genie out of the bottle in regard to civilian ownership
of large-cap semi-auto rifles and pistols and magazines, because,
whether you are hunting or defending yourself, there's really no good
reason for anything beyond the average hunting rifle, shotgun, or
revolver, and there are plenty of hammerless, pocketable revolvers
available that'll handle substantial rounds. My favorite by far firearms
to shoot are my six shooter, and my lever action and bolt action rifles.
Any of them are suitable for defensive use or even hunting small game.


Ah, so now that you've sold your 'assault rifle' of which you were extremely proud,
civilians shouldn't be allowed to own them.

Why should your preferences have any more value than someone else's preferences? Only
a few weeks ago your preference was the 'assault rifle'. Heaven knows you made enough
posts about it.

Ban idiots, not guns!


How would you possibly know what my "preference" was? I owned an AR15
and I sold it. It was a nice rifle, for sure, but I wouldn't mind not
being able to buy a semi-auto firearm of any kind if it helped save lives.


How would I *not* know? Gosh, krause, how many dozens of stories did you tell about
your rifle and the parts you bought for it, not to mention the numerous pictures of
targets you supposedly hit with it?
