   In the end, liberals took the guns from the citizens.

   @Ms. Ima

   Only the guns from dangerous ultra conservative extremists that accuse all liberals (many of whom are gun enthusiasts themselves) of wanting to take all the guns away from honest American citizens. Evidently from your post, people such as yourself!!

   @Robert Landers, I have never seen or heard a liberal state he/she was in favor of guns. It is like Muslim outrage over beheading of non believers, it just doesn’t happen. GET REAL

   If speech were more restricted and controlled, one life may be saved because people couldn’t lead others astray.
   If searches and seizures didn’t need warrants, we would be safer.
   If we could force people to confess, we could get more criminals off the street.
   If we controlled access to guns generally, fewer people would be hurt by guns.

   We willingly trade Safety for more Freedom with the other enumerated rights, but the 2nd amendment?: remove all rationality.

   ^ Yes, you have. Too bad you only hear that which suits your preconceptions. Listen carefully. I am a liberal. I enjoy guns in several different ways. I also respect the other rights enumerated in the bill of rights, some of which precede the second amendment. Primary among those rights is the right to life. There is no mention in the bill of rights of a right to high-capacity magazines.
   I feel that I have a right to raise up (after four shots) and put a well-placed round in my attackers ten ring while he is reloading.
   Remember, an unloaded lunatic is a polite lunatic.

   I am a relatively moderate liberal, and I am for the law abiding citizens of the country owning hand guns, rifles, and shot guns. Did you hear that?

   However, I am not for even law abiding citizens owning high capacity magazine semi automatic assault types of purely military weapons. Those should be reserved for either police tactical squads, the National Guard (the original militia as mentioned in the true meaning of the second amendment to the US Constitution), or the US military (which is to protect both the citizens of the US and even its government, while being under the civilian control of those people and their government.

   Heck, I am willing to have special gun clubs with highly monitored and safe firing ranges where those that wish to fire such military style weaponry (up to and even including fully automatic machine guns) can go and blast away all they want (and can afford)!

   I know that you are now going to say, but if we take such weaponry away from ordinary citizens, then won’t only criminals have them?

   But that is exactly why we have highly trained and protected police tactical squads, backed up by the National Guard, which is in turn backed up by the most powerful military in the world. And if they can not deal with the criminal element, then what makes the NRA types even consider that ordinary un trained and relatively unprotected ordinary citizens can?

   Really? Could you name all the ‘ultra conservative extremists’?

   A friend of mine who is no longer in the area took his son to a shooting event in Pennsylvania a while back. The featured weapons were Gatling Guns. A tractor towed a car across the field while enthusiasts cranked the arm and fired rounds into the hulk. I was jealous. When they came back and I asked how it was, they started cranking an invisible arm and with big smiles said, Great!.
   The smell of gunpowder, whether from guns or fireworks, reminds me of days with my grandfather and friends hunting or shooting at bottles.
   There are collectors, competitive shooters, and others who could be properly licensed and have gun storage/protection methods approved by law enforcement and, as I’ve stated in other posts, people who become “police auxiliary” (ie- a regulated militia), who could be be allowed the guns and equipment being banned.
   That said, if you own a Gatling Gun, you need to be licensed and how that gun is kept away from people who would use it for ill inspected. The same for M4s, Bushmasters, etc.
   Guns are, quite frankly, fun.
   Killing people is insane at best, and evil at worst.
   Respectfully,

   If you “have never seen or heard a liberal state he/she was in favor of guns”, you have not been hearing anything but perhaps faux gnus. Or, perhaps, your head is so far up your a$$ your ears are unable to hear anything in the real world.

    As an aside:
    Many years ago a friend of mine went to some kind of gun shoot in Kentucky or Tennessee and told me about a Toyota pickup with four gang mounted miniguns in the truck’s bed. People were paying to fire it (them?) just for fun. He wanted to fire it but couldn’t afford to do so.

    Aahh, a make up kit for what is obviously missing under that little drape cloth.

    No one has proposed taking away guns. No one. Get real. There’s no reason to pay attention to people who don’t pay attention to reality.

    What is very telling is that Holbert is a conservative. I guess even he is getting sick of the NRA’s rhetoric.

    @ mikefive
    I have often wondered if something like that would be a profitable business. Almost everyone wants to fire automatic weapons, but it would be really expensive. You can burn through a lot of ammo on full auto, let alone quad mounted mini-guns!
