Again private sales do not require a background check. The buyer can easily lie.

So you are saying gays should be required to have an aids test before engaging in private gay sex? Aids kills way more people than 99.9% of private gun sales which result in no death or injury.

That is remarkably dumb.

Meh you just don't like me rubbing your nose in your own stupidity.

No, what you said was just completely moronic.

Its the same dumb ass logic you people use daily, get it, gawd do I have to draw you a picture?

No it's not actually. But it says a lot about you that you think it is.

Not having a gun is the biggest problem these days. Things are only getting worse. Just wait till those Freebies run out. The Entitlement douches will be burning cities down. Then they'll begin coming after what's yours. Most laugh at and ridicule people who are preparing for societal breakdown, but being prepared for disaster is actually a common sense logical thing to do.

And it's not only about civil unrest. It's about all sorts of disasters, such as natural disasters. It's wise to be prepared for hardships. Don't rely solely on Government to save you. Unfortunately, too many Americans do. Just get prepared to take care of yourself and your family. Cause it ain't gonna be pretty when the SHTF.

I have lots of guns and ammo.

Unarmed liberals will provide for me in the meltdown.

Whether they like it or not.

So you are both nuts? Doesn't this disqualify both of you from intelligent conversation?

Nah, nuts is not having a gun and relying solely on Government to save you when the SHTF. The Government and the Entitlement douches are gonna be very angry when the Freebies run out. They'll look to take that anger out on someone. And that someone could be you. I would advise getting prepared for that inevitable scenario. You owe it to your family.

Only the truly insane would advocate banning more than 38000 guns because one was misused.

Collective punishment is what Nanny/Police Staters are all about. It's a 'Throw the baby out with the Bathwater' mentality. A couple assholes do wrong, and the Nanny/Police Staters immediately push to punish everyone for it.

It seems every day they're proposing banning or 'regulating' something. It's a real shame. The good shouldn't be punished for the few wicked.

That's what they tell us whenever some Muslim nutjob blows himself up on a loaded school bus or flies an airplane into a skyscraper.
Somehow, guns are different.

Yeah, Nanny/Police Staters are big on collective punishment. They punish the many good for the few wicked. What are they trying to ban or 'regulate' this week? Who knows? But i'm sure it's something.
