If you want to stop guns, start by changing the drug laws. Ignore dealers, and go after abusers. Legalize a variety of drugs, and punish bad behavior.

Suddenly the market dries up, the same way it did when they quit prohibition.
I don't want to see anyone screwed up on drugs, but the current system has given the cops enormous powers -- and drug sales keep rising.

Also, beat up on celebrity drug users. Convicted dopers should never be in the Hall of Fane -- or get an Oscar/academy award.

No bucks, no guns

As for illegals -- a lot of businesses and individuals are willing to take the profits from dirt cheap labor.

There are similar things, but bottom line is that we need to look at what causes some of these issues. And, I'm not talking about spending $$$ to rehabilitate people who think that life is OK the way it is. I'm saying that we need to remove the reasons that make things like drug smuggling and illegal immigration good choices.

I guess if they wanted people to stop buying guns, they could always get the companies to make them to stop!

Thats a world I wouldnt want to live in!

Guns are not the problem. Bad people using them to commit crimes is the problem.

Now that's funny!



(For anyone not all that familiar with semi-auto's, please don't try shooting one like that. . . Unless the thought of hot brass charring the skin on your face is somehow a turn-on, then knock yourself out.)

Why should the banks care? Congress bailed out the savings and loans too there's no risk.

Guns are your friend-The 2nd amendment is the most important right you have, without it the gov. can deny all the other rights you have and you can do nothing cause they have what you don't. The Brady bill-we can have fully automatic chain guns but you can only buy and own guns that hold ten rounds or less, OOOOKAYYYY!!!
Give me a break...... I don't carry for a street war, I do it for the street thug and dope head. Charlie Daniels'-simple man is the cure for the country but they won't listen to that cause it's "inhumane".
