I believe technically that is the case. I believe that current law is something to the fact, that if your firearm is stolen, you must report within 24 hours. Maybe it was something I had heard, but that would be #1 in my book of to do things, if anyone of my firearms were to come up missing. I agree that gun owners take full responsibility for owning them. Now if it were stolen by someone who is not by law, able to own/purchase a firearm, and the owner was not aware, then that person shouldn't be responsible. Now if the owner did have knowledge, and did nothing, they are wrong. Most gun laws are in place to keep firearms from criminals/felons, but it's almost impossible to track all those selling/giving firearms to those criminals. It's like drugs, no matter what the law, they'll never go away. And I'm a firm believer of fighting fire with fire.

Who the hell said we are against all gun laws?? so ummm... who here walks around fearing "imminent death"? honestly if you walk around fearing "imminent death" you probably shound NOT carry a gun! kid pops a balloon near ya.... BAM! off with his head. um no... dude please just stop now while your ahe... er no. well... maybe you can break even.

I don't believe owning a handgun will save democracy - although if I had to load up in my Caddy and drive down to capital hill and lay waste to any Hitler wannabe with my 9, I could do it action movie style, sure - but the last 3/4 of your post says you're going to where I'm standing conceptually. The last lego is this: armed citizen translates to state militia (note I make a clear distinction here to state run military constructs, those ostensibly given their mandate by the local people collectively) translates to a federal standing army. And all of these separate from a police. These armed separations of the absolute argument ending authority of a gun is what keeps (our) society standing. No other governing and empowerment model currently in the world has the same track record as measured on a combination of liberty and longevity (and my wife is Dutch so I see all the european models first hand every time we visit the inlaws). England? Close but no cigar. England has illusionary freedom born more from their more homogenous demographics than by model, and its breaking down as immigration takes the %s away from the tea sipping traditional englishman - their model never would work in the melting pot America has always been. Ditto (modern) Japan. I don't think you hate the second amendment but I do beleive you hate my interpretation. And I'm here to tell you that legistating away gun ownersip, while more palatable and easy to swallow than other means, is just as pacifying a totalitarian governmental power play than just sending the nazi youth goon squads out into the neighborhoods and raidng homes taking away their guns. It amounts in the end to the same thing. Taking power away from the people. By pen or by sword it is *the* *same* *thing*. Ultimately all I'm trying to say is this: Demogracy isn't a recipe for success. Look at all the failed democracies around the world plagued with regional or even national corruption and oppression. No. What's genius about the US design is the system of checks and balances. An armed populace is as much a part of that instrinic check and balance system as is any other overt part such as a free judicial system. Eh you don't have to beleive it. Smarter men than you or I along those that have lived thru the worst of man's inhumanity to man understand it. Luckily for us both a body of those men were were in the group we call our founding fathers. An armed populace is a cornerstone to the surety of your liberty and freedom.

I know that the top floor of the Monte Carlo is smoking..... ok ok... I know that's a bad joke :-)

I munch carpet if that helps......

I decided to focus on the office for the past 5 weeks and not screw off so much and I doubled the practice in 5 weeks. 30 new patients last month. 200 patient visits/week. My Goal by the year end is to be at 400 patients per week. ps. What is up with this "rep" indicator?

YZ250 <-- Thats me.. Sorry to ruin all your fun putty, but yes Im here now also. Whats the cost for the season pass this year? Is it still $25?

What you don't really address is what good guns actually do in the hands of every single citizen, to preserve democracy from "hitler wannabees". No, you could not in fact go shoot some aspiring dictator no matter how sure of yourself you are. You are not a militia, thats the bottom line. It would take a lot of people, and a lot of guns, (something on the order of a state militia, perhaps?) in order to practically guard against that risk. Your reaction to anyone suggesting a law alter the second amendment in any way is to basically put your hands over your ears and insist that if you have a gun, you will be ok. The sad truth for the many many people who are victims of gun violence is that it's simply not the case. Am I saying we should ban guns? No. Am I saying that alternate legislation and enforcement should always be considered to reduce the many tragedies that occur in this country daily as a result of handguns? Yes, that would be my point. Here is a thought experiment for you. Say the government passed a law stating that any gun owner, whose gun was used to commit a crime by a person other than the owner and whom would not have otherwise legally been able to purchase a gun (felon, warrant, etc.,) would be charged as an accomplice to whatever crime was committed. What would you do?
