they said that there was no guns that were removed from his house. and it his a persons right to have everything he had. i do understand what your saying about all guns should be destroyed. but the reality is thats never gonna happen so you better arm yourself or get left behind.

I still belive guns kill people
without a gun it would be very hard for A 17 year old kid to kill me.
People who own guns have this power authority problem that makes them think they are better than you.
The constitution grants you the right to have weapons..in case of a warlike situation or to protect yourself from harm.
Most say you need a weapon at home to protect yourself..if that's true, then you have to be certain that time will come. But people take advantage of that and misuse their rights, as seen in this case.

Wow. I left last night and this thread only had about 10 posts..all the sudden people seem angered. why does it anger you that I am against arming civilians who don't need guns? it's fear that drives this country.
Again you are entitled to your beliefs, but you have no right to force such beliefs against me, through any law.
I have no fear, I need no gun. And I been able to get out of situations without using a weapon. There should be a law limiting the number of handguns civilians can own. I'd say one gun and one bullet should be enough.

If you owned guns first you'd realize its not that much much ammo, I go through 1k in about an hour at the range... Buy it cheap stack it deep...
obviously he doesn't need that much ammo..unless he plans to kill 30 people in one day. so it's a good thing that he was checked out. there is no way one man needs more than one gun in their home.
This the same police that beat people every day? and violate pretty much every constitutional right?
what is this the old west? I mean come on, we are living in 2007. We should stop taking the law into our own hands, if you want to be a hero, join the police department and get a license,
a permit or whatever else. get some training and follow the laws.
Then surely they can be talked out of killing people, I'm sure they posses a conscience and reason.
I still belive guns kill people..not people.
The constitution grants you the right to have weapons..in case of a warlike situation or to protect yourself from harm. we are not at war, you don't have indians trying to take down your door anymore.
You mean the people who are trained to kill?
I say leave the guns to the professionals, the military and the people who know how to use them correctly..and take them away from the crazy guy in the basement.
A right is a right, what people do with freedom is there choice, if they commit a crime against another human being thats on them, and they are punished for such things.

He could simply run you over or set your house on fire while you are sleeping.
Actually its the common sense that we gun owners have that makes us better than you.
Evidently U.S. history isn't your strong suit. The 2nd Amendment is a means to an end of a tyrannical government.
Like you are misusing your right to spew false information here?
In the True Republic that is the USA
No man, No majority, and no Government can tread on me
so your personal opinions on such things are of little importance to me in the grand scheme of things.
Again you are entitled to your beliefs, but you have no right to force such beliefs against me, through any law.

Second I own plenty of guns yet amazingly I don't feel compelled to go on a shooting spree, its called collecting..
and third, If the SHTF ammo can have uses beyond you using it, ie bartering.. it will be worth more then that paper in your wallet.
This the same police that beat people every day? and violate pretty much every constitutional right?
Also how is owning a gun taking the law into your own hands? its called protection, and btw, that gun is the law. read the Constitution.
Dont need a permit for a right, and I do follow the law, I haven't killed threatened or committed crime with any of the guns in my vast arsenal,
Then surely they can be talked out of killing people, I'm sure they posses a conscience and reason.
perhaps we need a new task force for negotiating with these guns.
The Constitution doesn't "grant" me any rights

You mean the people who are trained to kill?
As opposed to the civilians who will hopefully and most likely never have to fire said weapons at another human being?
whats crime did this man commit?
