That's just wrong TPaine7 Aug 2012 #1
I agree that's just wrong Trunk Monkey Aug 2012 #37
Do you have any idea how fast you can put a magazine in a weapon and a round ... spin Aug 2012 #107
Assuming you carry a semiautomatic pistol, do you carry the magazine separate ? Trunk Monkey Aug 2012 #109
I carry a revolver for self defense. ... spin Aug 2012 #113
your Smith isn't old fashioned, gejohnston Aug 2012 #115

You do make a valid point ... spin Aug 2012 #123
A girl I know was shot 3 times with an AK-47 while waiting for a bus in Israel Cary Aug 2012 #104
The Palestinian shooting an innocent person? Not at all. How does that relate TPaine7 Aug 2012 #106
You claim that Israel is uncivilized. Cary Aug 2012 #108
I also supported honoring and protecting our mass shooters. TPaine7 Aug 2012 #110
I see I misread your post. Cary Aug 2012 #111
Israel's situation is a bit different from ours. Besides, you guys would freak if we had same laws. Hoyt Aug 2012 #2
And your source is? n/t TPaine7 Aug 2012 #4
If you care to dispute what I said, please do. Those are example of restrictions in Israel. Hoyt Aug 2012 #5

I read several sources from first 10 Google search. Let's hear your version. Hoyt Aug 2012 #10
I have no "version" of your source; it's YOUR source, remember? n/t TPaine7 Aug 2012 #13
Hope you have all your guns locked up if you are around people. Hoyt Aug 2012 #16
That explains a lot TPaine7 Aug 2012 #24
It was researched, and is a fact. You can verify. Hoyt Aug 2012 #26
good lord. Hoyt. Post a link to the quote that you supposedly cited. how hard is that? -- Tuesday Afternoon Aug 2012 #59
Good lord, Tuesday, post a link to a source that refutes what I said about Israel's gun laws. Hoyt Aug 2012 #60
Ehem... rl6214 Aug 2012 #101
I always try to link to any research I find, you NEVER do. ... spin Aug 2012 #63
Fine, set me straight by showing where I am wrong. I'll wait. Hoyt Aug 2012 #64
what I find interesting is gejohnston Aug 2012 #67
It is interesting. As is fact you are only one who has looked at this rather than trying to Hoyt Aug 2012 #69
I didn't look gejohnston Aug 2012 #70
Ahem: "When you quote something like that, it is customary to give a link to the source." friendly_iconoclast Aug 2012 #74

Such is the way of the anti-gun people. With the exception of one (That I can think of) shadowrider Aug 2012 #72
Ehem... rl6214 Aug 2012 #98
LOL, where else would you shoot them? Atypical Liberal Aug 2012 #45
Yep, at a range. Have em at home, go to jail. Hoyt Aug 2012 #50
That doesn't make sense. Atypical Liberal Aug 2012 #119
We are talking Israel here. Having been to Alabama a bunch, it is very different from Israel. Hoyt Aug 2012 #122
I don't care where you are talking about. Atypical Liberal Aug 2012 #124
There would be plenty of ammo stands if you had to buy ammo at range. Hoyt Aug 2012 #125
Good luck with that. Atypical Liberal Aug 2012 #126
Ah, more evidence you guys aren't as law-abiding as you like us to believe. Hoyt Aug 2012 #127

would you obey an immoral law? gejohnston Aug 2012 #133
GE, we are talking about guns and society, not Anne Frank. Why do you guys have to sound so dang Hoyt Aug 2012 #135
No, what we are talking about is limiting ammo purchases to shooting ranges. Atypical Liberal Aug 2012 #137
we are not talking about Randy Weaver either gejohnston Aug 2012 #138
You are sounding like him. Hoyt Aug 2012 #139
for example? gejohnston Aug 2012 #140
You emboldened it. You link it. It is on you to prove it. Tuesday Afternoon Aug 2012 #62

Wouldn't it be easier not to commit atrocities? EOM physioex Aug 2012 #6
And that would be enough if people of goodwill comprised the entire population. n/t TPaine7 Aug 2012 #8
Hate to say it cause I love you guys w/o your guns, but there are plenty of toters with dubious good Hoyt Aug 2012 #12

"Better to remain silent DWC Aug 2012 #21
Shoot, I hoped you'd put it in your own words. Hoyt Aug 2012 #27
OK, In my own words DWC Aug 2012 #79
I don't share your opinion about that or guns. Hoyt Aug 2012 #86

I think most of us know some gun nuts. Unfortunately, I've encountered far too many. Hoyt Aug 2012 #30
none of the ones I have met and known gejohnston Aug 2012 #31
I think you are looking at them from a gun cultist's perspective. Hoyt Aug 2012 #32
no, don't think so. BTW gejohnston Aug 2012 #33
None left carry a gun, so do not qualify for despicable organizations. Hoyt Aug 2012 #35
