Default RE: ANTI-GUN BILLS-SCARRY!!!

This is the deer hunting portion of the forum, and none of the measures listed there affect deer hunting.

Furthermore, how dare they try to make it harder for a child to use a fully automatic .75 caliber handgun with a 200 roung clip that is kept securely under their father's pillow?

With all due respect, the things listed there aren't going to make it harder to hunt or protect yourself, or to target shoot for fun. you can store a handgun in a small safe under your bed, and unlock it before you go to sleep. you don't need a caliber larger than 50 any more than you need a formula one race car in your garage. if you don't use your gun to do anything illegal, it wont matter if its "fingerprinted". You don't need 50 round clips to fight off the Russkies and the gangs.

And the argument that the criminals have these weapons, so we need them too so we can protect ourselves doesn't work. Ifwe stopped making excessive weaponry 20 years ago, criminals would not have it now. It would have been weeded out and slowly confiscated, so the VirginiaTech shooter would have beenusing a bolt action rifle, or stopping to reload after only a few shots, making him mucheasier to stop before killing all those people. Think about the future.

I'm all for guns for hunting and for fun, but if you make a hammer bigger than it needs to be, somebody will hit someone in the head with it, so help minimize the losses by not making it bigger than it needs to be.
