I mean, specialty ammo is a big thing too, I myself bought special ammo for handguns (of course I would have never used it on a range though, because of the price). You gave up on rational discourse? ... you know guy, I feel the same way, and not just over guns (we live in a very polarizing society). I have a difficult time even talking with some fellow progressive folks the most that are anti- gun, so I try to keep my mouth shut, so they dont think I'm some gun lunatic, but I understand. If I personally had a family member killed in one of these mass shootings, I may feel different ... I dont know. I'm not even a gun fanatic or collector or anything, done a little hunting and target range stuff, carried guns for years, and worked for a guy who was a gun dealer for 8 years (damn near everyone at our shop was armed, buy, sold and traded, etc), so it's just normal to me. The 1st, 5th, 3rd or whatever Amendment means just as much to me as the 2nd, been around guns since I was a kid.<br /><br />I think President Obama summed it up perfectly when he first got in office, when he said that when times get tough, folks grab guns and religion. Yes, there has to be some kind of restrictions in these times Bum, but even tighter oversight and enforcement of existing laws ... I mean ... I went to a gun show and couldnt believe how loose it was. You are old enough to remember when any of this wasnt an issue ... all these mass shootings is what fucked things up ... plus we are increased in tensions, and frankly our tensions (IMO) come alot from these pre- paid politicians on both sides. Now we are knee deep in guns with hundreds of millions in our society ... so deep, we couldnt get rid of them if we tried. I dont blame this on the founding fathers either, this is a different era with new challenges ... the Constitution/ Bill of Rights is one of the greatest things to me about this country.<br /><br />Thanx for your voice here Bum ....Ranch Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086251248546955720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010628715012863388.post-17291469250317294402017-06-19T05:33:41.863-05:002017-06-19T05:33:41.863-05:00Yeah, I do not support any changes in the Second A...Yeah, I do not support any changes in the Second Amendment. But there does need to be restrictions on civilians owning assault rifles and the amount of ammo a person can buy.<br /><br />I'm retired military and remember when one of my drill instructors talked about how the 5.56 round the M-16 uses was designed to less kill an enemy but rip through the body and cause enough injury so it took another soldier to take care of him. <br /><br />I've given up on rational discourse about guns. Believe it or not the ban guns crowd hates me because I think such actions will not work. The gun nuts think I'm evil because I believe in restrictions like mental health background checks, mandatory training, and liability insurance.
