In reply to the discussion: Maybe a dumb question on Assault rifles [View all]MarineCombatEngineer
(12,094 posts)37. I have no desire to own any firearms, I recently sold my Colt 1911 ACP because I just
don't want firearms in my life anymore and I don't want to leave it in my motorhome while out on the road and I certainly didn't want it in my truck as I constantly cross state lines.
While I have no desire to have a firearm, I certainly don't want to impede on lawful citizens right to own firearms, but there is, IMO, no right to carry them in public like what we have now.
I like your idea about the ammo, it wouldn't, again IMHO, be an undue burden on firearm owners.
I enjoy the back and forth with people I have a difference of opinion on many subjects, but, as you can see, I do try to keep it civil, sometimes though, I do fail.
Strange bedfellows indeed!!
