Think about that........it makes no sense.......it is a CON JOB by the manufacturers and the NRA. They make the profits and the average people in America get shot buying groceries and their children die and bleed at school.
........I would rather live with a bolt action to defend my home than have excessive weapons of WAR circulating in society. But, I know it is too late. I just want to be on record as saying that it does not HAVE to be this way. And it WILL get worse. And I don't want to hear the childish propaganda about "a good guy with a gun " and that "slippery slope" sing-song crap!

And so you say my comment is "
childish?" That's OK, I don't take offense easily. Unfortunately, folks that do not wish to be reasonable will discount FACT such as the FACT that over a Million people were saved last year when a GOOD person with a gun intervened. But, they can continue to live in their own world of disbelief.
Why have a bolt action rifle for self defense in your home anyway, when you can have a handgun that is more efficient in your self defense?
I agree that it is too late to do anything about the amount of guns in America. And in my opinion (childish?? ha,ha) that is because of how lenient the courts have become and how rampant robberies and assaults have become. People know that it's true that when seconds count, help is minutes away.
Ronny Reagan once said: "
Because you won't get gun control by disarming law abiding citizens. There's only one way to get real gun control: Disarm the thugs and the criminals, lock them up, and if you don't actually throw away the key, at least lose it for a long time.
Another of many:
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
