Re: Suggs and Guns
I have a similar belief as Silver and imo, saying its harder to get it doesnt mean you dont still get it. Its not taking away your right to own it, just making it harder to get it, which if youre of sane mind and a responsible gun owner, it shouldnt be hard to follow through with. Going to the store and just picking up an AK on the other hand i dont think is in the best interests of our society. I think that goes for all guns personally, as i know I can go get a Shotgun right now and thatll kill just as much as an AR will.

Re: Suggs and Guns
Assault weapons are what I consider 'heavy weapons'. Military grade weaponry to kill, not 1 intruder or deer, but a weapon made to kill as many people as possible in the most efficient and fastest way possible.
This is exactly my point. Even IF I had a billion dollars, I doubt the U.S. Government is going to allow me to buy a Lockheed Martin fighter jet, even unarmed. It would need to be old and decommissioned. But the finest weaponry to kill as many humans with bullets is almost universally availbel to all. I simply believe it should cost a big license fee to own one.

Re: Suggs and Guns
Ditto for me exactly. Have never owned a gun, but I do like Top Shot. Have only fired one probably 3-4 times in my life. However, my dad and both grandfathers are both ex-military and each own/ed one. I believe in their right to own it and would defend it tirelessly.
It's nice to see there is an issue here of a political nature where we don't seem to be strenously arguing.

Re: Suggs and Guns
Make it a 1,000 dollars for the license and you will see that number drop.
And, no. Give me a standard issues Soviet AK-47 and you have your Wal-Mart Shotgun and I will shoot right through the cinder block wall you are hiding behind. Machine guns are WAY more deadly than a shotgun.

Re: Suggs and Guns
The shotgun/AR was not my argument. IT was a Walmart AR btw, more accurate than an AK. Tell you what go see the ballistic from a buckshot vs a AK and tell me where you think your better chance of survival stands.
And why should I have to pay 1,000 for a license to own an AR?

Re: Suggs and Guns
well that was my point. I think they should be the same. I also think their should be some type of psychiatric screening process and harder background checks for all guns, but at the same time i think its your right to own one. if youre a danger to yourself or others, you lose that right whether you committed a crime or not because frankly those are the ones were trying to weed out. I dont really agree with silvers Idea of extremely high licenses, that seems to be punishing gun owners instead of promoting healthy and responsible ones.
