#1 The car analogy is stupid. By law if the vehicle doesn't see the street it doesn't have to be registered. And you're free to have the biggest fastest etc and use it as you wish. Oh and if you have a drivers license you can drive any car any time you want.

Typical socialist. She assumes since you disagree you must like Bush and be a Republican.

#2 The usual gun grabber diarrhetic diatribe. Got to agree. This is one of the dumbest articles I have read on this.

It seems to me that while some people are so adamant about their Second Amendment rights, they’ve forgotten all about my First Amendment ones

Your 1st Amendment freedoms are insured by the 2nd Amendment Kasie. Many brave people paid for your freedoms.

In fact, two of the most critical gun control measures that ever passed took place in the 1990s: 1993’s Brady Bill and 1994’s Assault Weapons Ban — both passed by a Republican president (George H.W. Bush) with the help of strong vocal support by former President Reagan.

These were passed under Clinton, not Reagan or Bush.

#4 passion, unleavened with common sense or actual historical knowledge.

The writer seems to know a great many things that aren't so, though.

#5 If the gun-grabbers were serious about reducing gun violence, they would be working to get guns out of the hands of urban blacks. That would give you the most bang for the buck.

Note that handgun laws have little actual effect on the criminal population. See crime rates in Chicago or Washington DC for examples.

#6 If the gun grabbers were serious about reducing gun crime, they'd be taking illegally acquired guns away from gangsters. Living in a bad part of town on its own does not make the gun owner a danger to society.

#7 You don't need an AR-15 to shoot a deer. Wrong caliber.

But hitting that goddamn Coyote that keeps eating your chickens makes the AR-15 a perfect weapon.

Also shooting the coyotes that keep invading your land and smuggling people across is a perfect use for the AR-15.

#8 Any person ( I use that term loosely) wanting me to give up any sort of gun are wanting one thing. To make me a slave. And before that happens, they will learn the hard way the difference between a free man and a slave.
