There's really no reason Americans need guns any more than any other first world nation.
"Need" is a dangerous word, a word often used by politicians to take away rights. You don't need a $100,000/yr job, you don't need excess food, you don't need a car that had 300 horsepower, you don't need fancy healthcare...
Crap like this is the beginning of oppression and socialism (or even worse, communism). The idea of one man telling another he doesn't feel he needs something is dangerous. Like it or not...politicians are just that...men and woman. They're no smarter than us, they shouldn't be telling us what we need.
Rednecks will be rednecks.
I love this misconception. If this is true than I guess every liberal is a flag waiving faggot, anyone who listens to rap is a nigger, anyone that Catholic is a child rapist, anyone who every hispanic person in the country is an illegal...we could go on and on...
If you're this closed minded why are you even in a thread like this...following your own generalization...shouldn't you be sucking a cock somewhere?
The most important part of firearm ownership is safety.
By the way, that handgun was not "automatic" - automatic weapons are heavily regulated under US law.
It was a semi-automatic weapon.
The media often gets their terminology wrong. But we already knew that.
I love that...when it comes to the media every handgun is a glock...ever rifle is an assault rifle and everything is an automatic or machine gun...morons.
It reminds me of this:
"A 17-year-old boy arrested after a handgun in his backpack accidentally discharged and wounded two other high students Tuesday was able to bring his automatic pistol on campus apparently because the Los Angeles school does only random metal detector checks, police said."
love the phrasing here, HIS automatic pistol, as if a 17 year-old CA kid is somehow legally able to own his own pistol.
Bingo...let's pass more laws because obviously this youngster fell through the cracks and got that gun at a local store...stronger laws would have prevented that you know...
