Listen, if your choice of action is to run around like a chicken with your head cut off or to drop to your knees and open your mouth thats fine by me; its your choice. But as for me I want to be able to protect myself from these little bastards. I want to be able to protect my wife and my children. Why shouldnt anyone upon a background check, training and extensive due process be able to carry a gun legally anywhere?

I would definitely like to see more guns out there in the hands of honest, law abiding people! Its time for us to fight back. Gun control laws do nothing but virtually assure criminals that there victims will be unarmed.

I agree with your thinking wholeheartedly!
Yeah, banning guns is gonna help -- NOT!
Who's gonna obey the gun laws? Not the criminals! Law abiding citizens will though; and then we'll have a bunch unarmed citizens up against a gang of ARMED criminals and only a few cops (me and my friends) to run around making reports of all the crimes. There aren't enough cops to go around to protect you, folks! And I really don't think we'd WANT to live in a state where there WERE that many cops! 'Cause that'd be called a police state. And while we're on the subject of a police state, who was it that came up with the idea of gun control in the first place? Hitler. He didn't want an armed citizenry to have the capability of opposing him.
Our founders had it right: 2nd Amendment Right!

Yes you can,unless you live in a few places like DC or NY. If more RESPONSIBLE people armed themselves legally, many of these tragedies could be avoided. Most people don't even realize that they CAN legally arm themselves, but it takes training, discipline,and a permit. The anti-gun idiots don't understand that gun laws DON"T AFFECT CRIMINALS!! They don't follow the LAW, that's why we call them CRIMINALS. They will always find a way to get a gun,and they also are quite aware that there chances of attacking someone who is actually armed themselves,is quite slim. Those who think we should rely on the Police to protect us, are obviously blind to the fact that the Police are the ones who show up AFTER the crime, to figure out what happened.They are never there DURING the crime! It is up to you, and you alone to protect yourself.
To those who actually believe that we should ban firearms,
I would like to introduce you to some "Great" leaders who agree with you: Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini.............Ever heard of these guys?? Go read some history, and maybe then you will understand why some of us would fight to the death to keep our right to bear arms!!!

Gun laws should be equal federally across the country and should be strick, ensuring that only non felons can own and posses weapons. As for liberals freaking out cause its an "assault weapon" ummmm last time i checked any weapon in which i can physically assault you with is technically.... an assault weapon.... you could just as many people with a 12 gauge shotgun as you could with a springfield arms m1 carbine and 30 single shot rounds....its got nothing to due with the gun. so yes more law abiding citizens should protect themselves because criminals will always have guns period.

We're actually fairly close to that - 40 odd states now issue a carry permit of some sort...it's those pesky STATES that allow cities and counties to restrict/ban
well-meaning legal citizens the right to protect themselves.

More guns carried by law abiding citizens= less crime
Had a law abiding citizen not had a gun at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, alot more people would have died.

absolutely. we need more responsible citizens to arm themselves and to be ready to protect the innocent. if you disarm the public you just make it that much easier for those who want to hurt them to hurt them. how many shootings do you think would occur if the gunman knew that the second he starts firing all those with concealed carry permits would give him two to the chest and two to the head? if we don't arm ourselves all we can do is cower in fear and hide. if we arm ourselves we can defend ourselves and save lives. if guns are outlawed the people who want them to do bad will still get them, thast why they are teh bad guys.
this goes to the idiot who answered above me. i dont care who you are, if i empty my clip of 40 s&w in your chest, there is more than i high probability that one of the fifteen bullets will hit something vital and then it doesn't matter how big your gun is, you're dead. semi-automatic rifles are a neccesary part of out society. it is in the consitution that a well armed and trained militia is required. a milita cant do near as much with a bolt action rifle as a semi auto. also as i have previously stated if you ban the assault rifles, those who want them to do harm will still get their hands on them, you cant stop it, so you are only giving the bad guys a bonus if you make assault rifles illeagal

yes. I carry all the time now, even to the mall. I will not be a victim, nor my children. if you look at the church shooting in Colorado where the armed guard killed the guy after he shot 2 people, he would have had a chance to kill many more than that until he was stopped. in omaha, if 1 person had a handgun and shot back at or killed the guy earlier, lives could have been saved.

The boy in the mall had an assault rifle!! This weapon is no good for anything other than what it was designed for. And that would be killing people.
We need to ban these weapons now! Before more INNOCENT people are MURDERED for no good reason other than some *sshole had a bad day.
And no, packing a handgun with 12 bullets will not make your family any safer. Besides, all the damage you would do "defending your home" would cost far more than any crook can steal.
