Guns have been legal since this country was founded. Primarily to keep the government from tyranny.Our founding fathers had come from such a government and they understood why the citizens needed to be armed.
How many schools are there in the US? Let's for an example say there 100,000, I'm sure there are more, but we'll use this number. How many people at these schools we're shot with legal guns last year. Answer? O.Number with illegal guns ? I couldn't say.Most inner city schools now have metal detectors because of illegal guns and other weapons being brought in.Usually by gang members.
How long have guns been legal in your area? How many shootings have been done at your school since it was founded? I'll wager none. So guns have been avalible there and nobody got shot HMMMMMMMMMM.
So you think you can trample other peoples rights to own what they want to responsibly own.I'm not sure I like the sound of my freedoms being trampled on.Don't you think that the government does enough of that now?
Know what happens when countries ban guns? It's happened over and over in every country that has. The crime rate skyrockets. Particularly murder. The only people with guns are now the criminals and they don't care if they shoot you, Hence the label criminals. I recently saw some statistics from Australlia that said after the citizens were disarmed the murder rate went up 600%. This what you're looking for?
If you're that scared of getting shot how do you get out of bed in the morning? Here's a wake up call for you there are guns all around you right now. The legal owners aren't gonna shoot you, but the one's with the illegal ones, well not so much.
So grow a pair and stop being a worry wart. Here's a clue........You are less likely to get shot than you are to be struck by lightning. And leave the rest of us alone. If somebody wants a gun that ain't you're business.If they want a 30 rnd magazine that's their right. Leave them alone and they will leave you alone.

But lets not ban 30 round magazines, those are ok.
Could you imagine a 30round clip in a M1 Garand? ... Liberals..

I would agree to limiting magazine capacity as long as the Police (local and state) and ALL Federal Agencies ban them for their Officers THEN I would do it AFTER they do it. Until that happens, cold dead hands etc. The older impotent generation might have submitted to a ban of this kind, but not this guy. No way will I let it occur again without a fight.
