I have to agree with Bill Gibson here. I have a .38 revolver that hopefully will never be used. After a tour in the Marine Corps 68-71 and sleeping with my rifle for a year in Viet Nam I have seen what weapons were made for and it isn't good. What scares me more is the desensitization and training of our kids today with a media of violence. I played football,baseball and hockey most days in my childhood. Todays video kids have simulated killing, maiming and total chaotic destruction of people and property from ages 8-18. Sure those games are just recreation. But after you've pulled the trigger so many times in a simulator whats your reaction going to be with an easily obtainable real gun that no one wants to regulate in any fashion. These rights and freedoms come first with responsibility and I don't see a lot of that out there anymore.

Just my 2cents

Mic, I'm with you and Bill, I quit hunting 10 years ago. I still have guns and hope I never have to use them for anything other than punching holes in paper. Went shooting at a indoor range about 8 months ago with some coworkers and the three with concealed carry permits were the worst shooters I've ever seen. :lol: Yeah, I'm worried too!
 
I do own guns, but being from Chicago we still prefer the Louisville Slugger.Although the way the countries going I've been investing in 2 things. Canned goods and Ammunition. :rolleyes:

My girlfriends FAVORITE- She's not big but she's MEAN.

That would probably discourage someone as well as a sock full of ol carbide end mills :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
First off,

To anyone reading this who has seved in the US Military, and especially to those who served in Combat situations, thank you very much for placing yourself in harms way to protect the freedom of these United States of America. I am, and always will be a gun owner. I hunt, and I also shoot for recreational purposes. I very strongly believe in gun control, though my definition of gun control differs greatly from the ideas of our legislators. Proper safe handling, and aquired marksmanship through proper training and practice are what I consider gun control. I also currently work in the ammunition manufacturing industry. Federal has a bumper sticker that reads "Shoot 'em up, we'll make more"...

I think work would flip if i carried any extra copper around but that's not a bad idea... I usually leave my toolbox within reaching distance. right on top is my 1 1/4" combo wrench. (note work wont "let" us carry), though I always have my 3" sheathing knife on me

Another bumper sticker seen in N. CA 10 years ago: Driver carries no cash and only $20.00 in ammunition.

I used to have a sign showing the business end of a revolver, as it would look if it was pointed at you that read "Never mind the dog, BEWARE OF OWNER"

A product that actually kills is Tobacco... Guns don't even come close to the numbers tobacco puts up..... But the Government makes a lot from tobacco so that explains that one....
