Here's just one quote from the moronic list of quotes below from just one discussion thread on Gun Rights Media web sight -they are a biggy with the Gun Nut crowd and if you have ANY doubts about the mental condition of Gun Nuts just go to their link above and browse through the moronic caliber (heh heh Caliber) of their thought processes.
"I'm
also reminded of Mark Twain: “Too much of anything is bad, but too
much of good whiskey is barely enough.” I think you could perhaps say
the same thing about good guns.
as you read these sick children talking about their guns just think about the kind of weak minded irresponsible person is behind the words and why it it so important to take their toys away -and then to neuter themif any of this universal background check stuff passes, im not going to buy anymore guns. I believe this sentiment, generalized to millions of people, is one of the hoped-for effects. Guns, if they have a moral dimension, are good. Without guns, the strong can always dominate the weak; the many can always dominate the few; and men can always dominate women. A gun gives each person an agency equivalent to his (or her) moral standing. In my humble opinion, those who teach correct and proper gun use are doing G-d's work.

my point IS; if any of this universal background check stuff passes, im not going to buy anymore guns. period..
all of my guns were bought thru dealers a long time ago.
so i feel confident that those records are long gone.
and my grandson already has receipts for those guns with
face to face orders to take posession of them while im still luke warm.
im sure alot of people have made the same arrangement.
so the gun industry realy has a big concern about the comming
new laws.....if they pass All things considered I have enough for the tasks I keep firearms for. I'm more concern about ammunition restrictions that my Dad seems to think is going to be the next step after a ban on semi-automatic weapons. “Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist.

- M1 Carbine
S&W 4006 (which I will get if the city ever gets around to arming us)
And maybe an M1928 (like I could afford to feed it)

The stuff on my wish list shouldn't be affected by this as they're all
C&Rs. Over half of what I own falls into that category and I
haven't bought a 'new' gun since 2009. I don't plan on ever selling
anything, so I personally shouldn't be all that affected by UBCs.
The idea is stupid though, and a waste of taxpayer money to boot. Conventional wisdom told me the blood was really flowing in the streets until 1968 when Congress saved us with the GCA. I later went and checked the homicide rate over the years though and it looks like the 1950s & 60s weren't all that bad. It didn't get ugly till the 70s, stayed really bad till 1991, and then started dropping like a rock and has continued dropping to this day. Apparently NICS didn't kick in until Nov 1998, so it didn't cause the drop that started in 1991. Background checks sound nice in sound bites but I can't help but be left with the conclusion that they don't accomplish anything.

I can't, for instance, play around like Steve McQueen with a Mare's Leg until I get a couple of those. I can't shoot 1500+ yard bullseye until I get a .50 BMG.

My wish list is, I'm happy to say, a moving target.
To put it another way, "Enough guns? What does that mean?"

My husband just bought an M1 Carbine clone in .22rf for our daughter. It is not only cute but fun! Donna is hoping someday the grownups will stop using it and actually let her have it.

I'm ok with what I have, but I'd like to add:
- A good .45 for bullsye and occasional carry
- a lever action deer rifle to supplement my single shot
- a .22 mag rifle

no other reason than I wouldn’t be competing with everyone else for the
ammunition.
New guns are hard to come by on security guard pay though There is such a thing as a tesseract.

That's a key point.
I think I'm at a point where my money would be better spent on necessary accessories (spare magazines and such) and ammunition for the weapons I currently own. There is such a thing as a tesseract. Reply With Quote - Today, 04:51 AM #17 pmeisel

I have been through years when getting to the range was a
seldom thing, and I couldn't shoot everything I had.
Last two trips to the range, we took and shot about half the collection. The guns that don't make the trip -- a toolbox gun, a couple pocket pistols, and the shotguns.
So now I lust after more! Paul
