I care a little bit because the cost of illegal guns will go up if gun control is instituted. You'll never see another unregistered classic Thomson for 3 grand.

Does banning assault weapons, high magazine clips, and requiring background checks / keeping ownership data count as "gun control?"

Unless you are of the school that says gun control is hitting your target.

This might be fun.

Does someone's knowledge/experience with weapons change their slant on gun control?



I don't know.

I personally hate guns and I have 7.

And what purpose does a handgun have besides killing people?

Hunting with a handgun is pointless and dangerous.
Target shooting is better done with a rifle.


Keeping people from killing you.

Hunting with a handgun desplays more skill than using a rifle or shotgun.

Same with target shooting.

Based on as in they all use the same lever to open the bolt? That is pretty far from being both internally and externally the same as an assault rifle.

And that Mauser was a military rifle in 1871. A few things have changed in military firearms in the last 140 years.


BOLT action yes internally they are mostly the same as a Mauser as used by the German army in both world wars.
The Springfield was just a Mauser with a U S caliber.

Bolt actions are not assault rifles, nobody has learned how to make a full auto bolt action.

Anyone who thinks that bolt actions are assault weapons has disqualified themselves from the conversation.

I've owned firearms all my life, none of them have yet to kill a person. What am I doing wrong?

Such meaningless generalizations are pointless and dangerous. How do you feel about vehicles that can go twice as fast or more than posted speed limits?

quote:

That depends on the targets, the range, how much you're willing to spend and on a lot of other factors.

We get it Ken, you don't like handguns. Why don't you just say it and leave it at that instead of making up such farcical "reasons" why they're such "bad" things?
