Gun Rights
Quote:
"A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed"
These 27 words protect the rights of Americans to own and use guns. The American Hunters and Shooters Association is committed to these words and the ideas and principals behind them. Protecting our homes, preserving our liberties, hunting, and sport shooting are American values that AHSA will vigorously defend.
But, there is no constitutional right to arms for criminals, terrorists, or others who seek to abuse the very freedoms the Constitution guarantees.

Sounds like a quote straight off of Faux News network. Same ole BS that's been spewed by the right wing wack jobs all my life. Real good way to keep the **** slinging going while they screw the Middle Class a little bit more.

Re: Gun Rights
I'm not at all against guns. But you guys know better than to think that the trap of guns and abortion are anything other than a way to keep us divided when little or no movement has really taken place on either issue in about forever.

I used to belong to them many years ago until I got sick of them begging for money all the time. You see, I was never as paranoid as they'd like everybody to be as they buy into the "They're gonna take all your guns away....give us your money" scare tactic.
Like I said, it's just a political lever used to get votes and money.
P.S....that was over 20 years ago when I was a member and presto!....no guns taken away yet.

Re: Gun Rights
No, and they're not about to outlaw guns, that's just more BS from the NRA. My problem with them is they absolutely refuse to say they are against the mentally deranged or people with felony convictions having guns. To them, it's an absolute right, even for nut-jobs. To that end, I say **** the NRA.

The very words you mention put me out of favor with them also. That being said.
If you want my guns you will have to pry my cold dead fingers from them.
There are some frightening words from what did you call it? An Obamabot? for all you righties.

Re: Gun Rights
I'm a gun owner, I carry my handgun concealed with a permit as I am legally allowed to do. I do not believe anyone with a felony conviction or mental illness should be legally able to carry a firearm. I believe there are a lot of responsible gun owners in this country and I believe people should be able to defend themselves and their families.
I like the fact that if a criminal tries breaking into my house he has to wonder if I am armed or not. If he takes that chance of robbing me there is a better chance of leaving him leaving in an ambulance.
Obama is not trying to take your guns away, there has been no legislation passed in his administration that would change the second amendment.
