I just want to point out on your list of "people who shouldn't own a gun" are the WEAK and the POOR.
I thought class 3 permits were difficult and expensive to obtain now days? (especially the part about the ATF being allowed to come in whenever they want to your house to check) Correct me if I am wrong
I also want to point out that for no other reason I want to buy an AR to target shoot out to 600 yards with a safe reliable gun that isn't a cannon and is fun to shoot. Not to defend myself not to hunt with, no other reason, other than as a hobby. Like when I invite all of this forum (well senior members only) to come to my dads property to spend the weekend, shoot the entire weeked, camp out in the country, cook out and enjoy people who enjoy the same thing I do. Explain to me where this is wrong, and why I shouldn't be allowed to purchase an object that lets me enjoy the fact that I work hard enough and am responsible enough to take the money that I didn't steal or break the law to get and purchase something that I have no intention of hurting someone else with.
I mean seriously you keep arguing hypothetical things, and gun supporters argue the other hypothetical things, so when that happens you have to bring statistics into the argument, and I guarantee the statistics will not help you out in the arguement.
are you just trying to pick a fight or are you trying to seem like you haven't actually looked into the issue past the surface of it? You know I can really understand the other side of the coin on this, people are scared of people owning something that they don't understand and believe can hurt them, gun advocates feel the same way they just go about solving that problem in a slightly different way
