Wow this thread is getting popular...just got on since yesterday at lunch a lot of people are getting in on this..but anyway, kaibab, I am aware of the definition of gun control. And yes, I agree with reasonable measures, such as what we already have. Keeping guns out of convicted criminals hands and things such as that, yes. Another AWB? No. It might not seem like much at the time, but they will slowly use legislation such as this to chip away at our gun rights piece by piece. One day everythings fine, the next ammo is 100 dollars a box, it takesa month to buy a firearm, and you're left scratching your head wondering where the good times went. I'm sorry, but I just don't buy into a lot of your opinions. I won't bash you here for that, everyones entitled to their opinion, but don't attempt to come on here and portray me as a simpleton because my beliefs are different from yours. While I don't agree with a lot of your opinions, I have not insulted you in any way, and I ask you to do the same. I have noticed several of your posts seem arrogant and patronizing, not just to me but to everyone who disagrees with you. I'm not trying to start a fight with this thread, I'm just throwing my opinion out there. If you'd like a civilized, intelligent debate, I'm all for it. But don't insult my intelligence. There, I'm done with my little rant.
Fair enough…. If I’ve “insulted” you or any other member who is or may be in future participating in this debate, I do apologize, for that was not my intension. But, I would like to point out that there is a fine line between “insulting and questioning” someone’s intelligence; which I did in response to your first post ( which you then quickly corrected ).
So, with that said, let’s proceed to be on topic here……
Um… you mentioned that soon pieces of legislation will be passed that you feel will be “chipping away” at your right to bare arms; so this posses as a question for you: To what extent do you feeling your rights are being “chipped away”, and why exactly do you feel a month is an unacceptable time period of waiting until you receive your purchased fire arm?
BTW: it’s damn near $100 already to go out and by ammo made by Weatherby, for any type of large caliber rifle… such as .270 and up…..
