I own my own gun, how many other ppl own there own guns, and how many ppl would get freaked out if i brought that fact up in normal conversation -Dice _______________ Dicemaster |

Does it bother you that i'm 17 years old and I own my own gun, and could walk into a store and buy one and be out of the store with the gun in under 10 minutes (in certain parts of the United States, completely legal. Also its a shotgun, a pistol has a 10 day waiting period like anywhere else)

Kyp, that isn't terrorism. That is just sick  According to Dictionary.com, terrorism is: The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons. |

Quote: 2nd Amendment, right to bear arms 1.) WTF does "arms" mean, left and right arm, pistol, a nuclear explosive for every man woman and child, well child at the age of 17 in some states 2.) Or realize that when this amendment was passed there probably 3 guns most people could even, get all were probably "single-shot" then a nice :30 second reload time. Quote: the age deal Also, about the age deal, instead of saying something that seems kinda silly to me, "you can go die for your country but you can't drink" Why not try this, at 18 your an ADULT you should get ALL the privledges of and adult, not just some. An opposing thought is, at 16 you can drive, at 17 you can buy a gun, and 18 you can smoke, vote, be indepentant. From 16 to 18 your getting the chance for a hell of alot more responsibility than you have know. To mix drinking with all that may seem like to much, and in fact was. There is a good chance that if the drinking age had always been 18 it wouldnt be an issue, but most of you can probably ask your parents about when the drinking age was lowered to 18, the amount of alcohol related car accidents/deaths/injuries sky rocketed, and the issue was bad enough that the age was returned to 21. _______________ Silent Bob (Kevin Smith): You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude.

I just think, that if all the money that is spent on guns or security, would be invested in a decent health care and social system, there would be way less needs to buy a gun for security reasons.

Well in the end, I think I'd have to agree that you can't ban guns in the United States, and things like the concealed-carry law are good stuff if they make the crimerate drop. The mentality in the United States should be like 'OK, we have guns, but how do we create a safer society with them'. Keep the guns away from Europe though |

Well, according to the second ammendment, we have the right to bear arms. I have no problem in someone owning a gun, because sometime in your life you might need to use it. I don't think they should take guns away, because making new laws doesn't stop criminals. They need to instead increase the punishment for the current laws. This may be off the subject, but I belive in the 'eye for an eye' theory. If you intentionally murder someone, I think you deserve the death scentence. If you are guilty of a rape, I think they should cut 'you-know-what' off. Being soft on a punishment, isn't going to prevent it from happening in the future.

You can get married in many states at age 17 but you can't drink at your wedding. You can have sex but you can't smoke a cigarrette afterwards. And consider this also. Its not as easy to hide a shotgun as well as it is a pistol. you walk in and buy a shotgun everyone will probably see you walking around with it. You walk in and get a pistol without a 5 day waiting period and someone with malicious intent could be hiding a gun out to kill someone. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill. Those who seek power and control of others, no matter the level, no matter the intentions, should never be given it. |
