How many times is someone going to ask this questions about Americans and their second ammendment.
first off, we were all born on a land never owned - which made everyone equal under the law and property and the right to possess it was law. all freemen were and still are Kings - Sovereigns what ever you want to call it - our land was protected by our law and the gun was the force behind the law. Townships sprang up and out of safety in numbers weapons were frowned upon as accidents did happen. and those laws moved west as the towns sprung up and those towns organized and local ordances were agreed and followed by the locals and most people in those days would stop by the constable and check in as a show of respect.
the bible talks of revelations, we know its the zodiac today but in 1770's is was the future and America was at first designed to fight this eternal fight against evil.... but over the years - it has become that evil it swore to protect the world from. we maintain our weapons as a last effort to save the world from this anti-christ entity.
and all along we thought we were fighting against Satan and now we learn we are the great Satan. crazy huh>

Only a "subject" would ask such a question.

And as "citizens," we already know the answer.

someone needs to rip up this thread

gun control debate is an exercise in futitlity both sides leave the thread the same way they come into it.

geez rip up the constitution how dare he!

No nation has sacrificed more of their forces in defense of the indigenous people we have been deployed amongst or here at home..Most eastern countries regard this as a weakness.Might makes right is the law in many countries.
But for them I need to be able to fight as best as I can.

They all scared because america is armed to the teeth. I think we should keep it that way. I'm on guns for americans. Pass the ammo, brother. I just put a scope on my new .22 riffle and shot at empty shotgun shells at about 70 yards away. I'm sure if i practiced more, i could get better at longer distances depending on bullet drop, windage, bullet rotation, rain or whatever else. I say we the people should stay protected. I feel safer if i have a gun and i'm sure my neighbor does too. The only person not feeling safe is the woodbee killer, thief, rapist, who invades ones home. The invaders are the ones who are scared. And they should be, looking down the barrel of a gun pointed at them. peace, brother american.

we americans need to exercise our gun rights, RIGHT NOW! Our constitution is being raped and murdered as we speak, and before its dead and buried we need to GETCHA SOME

there's plenty out there to be had, they're everywhere violating your rights and freedoms daily. locknload and send some down range, let them taste the lead of our freedom shoot them loudly and proudly

meh it's a free country .... oh never-mind.

I'm amazed this thread made it to 65 pages, the OP was clearly attempting to bait the pro-gun users and he apparently succeeded.....stop allowing this kind of thing to happen ATS.

we are supposed to be the informed, self educated ones and we still fall for it hook line and sinker.

if I start a thread entitled "personal freedom should be abolished" then I hope people would have the common sense to ignore it and thus a lesson would be learned but instead we rush at it like bulls at a matador.

It is really very simple. Withouth the Second Amendment, the others can be lost.

I got two hogs in my freezer that my son and I shot this weekend (if you are near Texas, try Dos Plumas ranch. Lousy lodge, great hunting, low price).

I bet those two hogs wish that my son and I didn't have guns. Of course, if we didn't shoot them, they would over run the state and ruin valuable ranch and farm land. If you enjoy your beef and cotton, you should be VERY happy that we are shooting hogs as fast as we can down here in Texas.

But hey, at least you give great advice!
