Lets not get into a gun debate. These type of discussions are pointless and cause nothing but hard feelings.

Best to let this thread die rather than start a debate over something like this which can only end poorly. I know, I have seen these type of threads before on other forums and ALL have gone horribly wrong.

And Thanks narf for the PM. I should have been more clear in my posting and not simply just repeated it.

If we ban threads on gun control, only criminals will have threads on gun control.

It might make some of those gun tottin' thug punks think twice about pulling a piece on a teacher knowing that teacher might be packin'... especially after the first couple punks catch a 10mm slug in the chest.

It is my firm belief that the second amendment was designed not so much with the idea of the citizenry protecting itself from each other but from the Federal Govt. So not only can they have my gun when they pry it from my cold dead hands, but also my gernades, Claymores, C-4, RPG's, AT and AP mines, and surplus M 113!

LOL! Yes, few people these days bother to point out that the Second Amendment says 'arms' not 'guns'... It's plain that the idea was for the real strength of the military to always be in the hands of the civilian population (which was the reason for 'no standing armies' as well). Once upon a time farmers would have actual weapons of war like cannons just sitting in their yards. They could not have anticipated in that era how specialized and expensive heavy weaponry would become.
