What rabid anti-gun folks don't quite comprehend is that homicidal
intent is not weapon dependent. I had to wait to get my Concealed
Carry Permit or alternatively, I would have to wait to get a gun. That
wouldn't help much if I had a festering homicidal intent.

The problem Gene is that there are so many ****ing weapons on the
street that your truism may have validity.

If we hadn't let the cat out of the bag and had exercised a little
better foresight, there wouldn't be a profusion of easily obtainable
weapons...

Second amendment is not meant to make certain the entire ****ing
country is armed.

Have you visited a trauma ward recently? I have a friend who works in
the local ward. It's filled with shooting victims and the occasional
idiot who's cramed his head into a sidewalk from a motorcycle.


In Virginia and some other states, there's no waiting period and no
paperwork. You simply go to a gun show and find a private seller.
There's the ones at the show doing sales out of the trunks of their
cars. Perfectly legal in Virginia.

If I were committed to the task... as it appears, other folks,
deprived of guns, and committed to the task seek other tools of the
trade....

And, yes, thank you, NRA.... I support you and your efforts to uphold
the American Constitution and the rights granted to us to hold and use
firearms....

Please seek understanding in the truism that, "When guns are outlawed,
only outlaws will own guns...."


I agree with this post.
