Sounds like something straight out of Charlton Hestons speech book!

Great post Grace. Had to rep it.

Getting a real AK, or going for a Mac-10? Here in California, our assault weapons laws are so strict, we can't legally own them. :mad

I thought you were a WWII fan. Go for the MP44. The AK is just a cheap knock-off. (Can't believe 'ol Kalashnikov actually gets credit for that.... I hear he's making a pretty decent Vodka now though.)

I'm getting a AK-103. Its the modernized version of the AK. Basically, its an AK-74 but chamber with the 7.62X39 round.

Ah! Kalashnikov didn't steal his design from the StG44. The two work off of totally different operating systems: bolt, gas piston, trigger mechanism and so on. Kalash just took the idea of a light weigh, high capacity, mid-range caliber rifle and made his own. Its like others taking the idea of the model T and making their own car based off of some universal things like engine, transmission, breaks and so on.

You're just pi$$ed off because we used guns to kick England's ass!!!! :ninja

Nope, just glad that our gun crime problem is no where near as bad as the USA's.

eeerrrr? when did you do that then?

 

[Peter Parka]

Just a few counter arguments -

FIREARMS REFRESHER COURSE

1. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.

I see, people who own guns should have a bigger say in how the country is run?

2. A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.

Depends whose hand the gun's in.

4. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.

So why is there the word "gun" in there then?

5. If guns are outlawed, can we use swords?

Knife crime is still a big problem, I really dont see what would be so great about people carrying swords around with them.

6. If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words.

Talk about exagerated examples! You're seriously trying to compare pencils to guns???

7. Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.

Many criminals consider themselves free men, are you advocating their rights to own guns?

9. Those who trade liberty for security have neither.

True, and owning a gun is exactly how some people are doing this.

10. The United States Constitution (c)1791. All Rights
Reserved.

In that case there should also be no age limit to owning guns and everyone should have the right to own RPGs ect if they want, re read it.

13. 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.

Thats a great comfort to the families of people killed by guns.

15. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety.

I dont own a gun and am quite peaceful and safe, thank you very much.

16. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.

Do you really think this applies to those kids who shot up their school?

17. 911: Government sponsored Dial-a-Prayer.

Says to me that more needs to bedone to improve your police force, not go vigilante

18. Assault is a behavior, not a device.

True, it's better if the people with this behaviour are not allowed to own guns

20. If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson.

Once again, over exageration in an illustration. Matches have plenty of practical uses and anyone can make a fire, all the laws in the world cant stop that. serious


21. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to
control them.

It must be pretty scary for the government then when so many people have access to a device which can kill you in an instant

23. Enforce the gun control laws we ALREADY have; don't make more.

Do you honestly think the're doing enough to stop innocent people being shot?

24. When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves.

No guns here, I'm no slave, thanks for the sweeping sensational statement with no facts to back it up though.

25. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.

You planning on having another one soon or something?
