    The average violent thug doesn't surrend their weapon of choice, its usually the average up standing citizen that might have something they want to surrender. Usually a waste of time unfortunately.

    This reminds me of Obama and his ridiculous executive orders. You can try to change the ways normal citizens obtain weapons. This will only further the reach of the black market, which is the pathway for criminals. All that talk about how many people die from gun violence, and how many families are affected by it. More than two times as many people die from alcohol than guns. Then there's all the lives that are forever tainted by abusive alcoholic parents. I love alcohol, almost as much as i love guns, but if youre going to pick a fight at least go after the one that has more of an impact. Priorities these days...

    I blame all these safety laws. Double gate railroad crossings, mandatory seat belts, No riding in the back of pick up trucks. Saves all the idiots from themselves. Now they have been breeding like crazy and we can't get rid of them. Well until the economy fails or something sparks mass civil wars or a food shortage comes along. I swear I had a life in the old west once. Still think that was the best time in history :<0)

    And prodigy if you really want to save some lives , outlaw processed foods. Obesity kills more people than all you mention plus 10 more of the scary killing things of the day.

    And fellas I would watch the Gun control chat. I think it is still banned and can get out of control rather quickly.

Sad that lawmakers can't wrap their minds around this simple concept. It is a people problem, not a tool problem.
    Well if they don't condone it then say resorting to violence is a more accepted practice. Just take a look at the murder per capita rates among English speaking countries. They share a common language and evolved from a root culture yet there are some significant differences in murder rates.

    Looking at it from a offensive position yes it's people who are the problem however it's just that looking at it from a defensive position with some weapons you have no chance while with others you have some chance on the receiving end plus with some weapons it's too easy to deploy them and then be sorry later when it's too late.

    I think guns and knives should be taken off the streets.

    I understand you might love your weapons but the rite that lets you own weapons also lets nutters/murderers/robbers own weapons.

    That's not fare on victims . That's the way I see it .

    Correct me if I'm wrong , just don't blow my head off

    Looks like a civilian campaign to me.
    I wouldn't worry.
