So it's all the fault of video games, rather than your gun culture (only in America would one record a song that follows "Praise the Lord" with "and pass the ammunition" - i.e. Sin Wagon). Got it. Listen to yourselves. "We're killing each other because we don't lick Jesus' asshole enough". Funny coincidence that it's the Christian states that loved their lynch mobs and love their death penalties and teen pregnancy.

i never want to kill either, and i fully understand your belief, it would be a sickening feeling to have taken a life, when my stepfather tried to get me to kill raccoons because they get up and steal the cats food he seems to not get that i cant just blindly take any life(how can i kill something that is just hungry?) especially when it was completely passive to our cats, however, the way see it, you dont know what all a badguy is going to do to you or those you care about, and i choose not to risk my family's life. if an intruder manages to get out of my house without being shot, then i obviously wont persue him or her, but if i present my firearm and they dont submit, it will be my understanding they intend hostility. i would like to think i will have the chance to ask for compliance, "GET DOWN ON THE GROUND NOW NOW NOW!" but that may not be the case, and with reports of meth labs in the area, demands likely wont do any good, methheads when high or strung out wont act the least bit rationally.

but can you gaurantee their only intention is to steal? and do they intend to let you live if you see their face? because if you see their face you can give a discription to the police and as you know they would hate that? and if you were a female, could you gaurantee they wouldnt have rape on their mind? its not my place to tell you what to think but i can say what i think, and i think if someone breaks into your home, they forefeit their right to live. i NEVER want to kill anyone, but if someone breaks into my home, and i have any reason to think they have any kind of a weapon, if they are lucky they may get orders to get down, but i likely will just shoot them, because when they break in, as mentioned by a host of "the best defense" on the outdoor channel, they have already defined the parameters of the relationship.

i disagree, a private citizen can buy and sell as they please, but dealers are required to have each buyer fill out the 4473 and check to see that the buyer is allowed to have it, no different than a shop.

i was gonna post a response to mischas post but redneck diaper boy made my point for me, gun shows require checks, private sales do not, frankly i dont see why my post wasnt understood first.

as said by one of the gentlemen of the gun gripes videos from youtube channel iraqveteran8888, where you have an armed citizen legally carrying a sidearm for defense, and an active mass murderer(a term used by mr massad ayoob of personal defense tv, preferred over the term "active shooter" because of its accuracy), starts shooting up a place, what you have is an un-official police officer(meaning someone can stop that till the cops arrive). i think there was a shooter a long time ago, some nut took a high power rifle into a bell tower of school and started shooting people, but the ones that stopped him were civilians if i understand it right, as i said im a gun hater but even i can see that law abiding armed citizens were the SOLUTION to the problem, and teachers not having guns and training these days, especially since columbine is rediculous!!! as you said and the media said, 6 adults! if one hears a gun go off, they could grab their guns after securing the students in the closets, and deal with the threat, those walls in schools if i remember right are masonary walls, at an angle bullets would bounce off and therefore provide not only concealment but also cover, requireing less of the defenders body to be exposed and allowing a good shot at the threat, hell there are even gun cams ive seen for both hand and long guns with displays that mount on your arm, so they could just shoot around corners and only have the arm out, when the display shows one with a gun not suppose to be there you can safely deal with the threats! teachers, when they have your kids for 6 or more hours a day 5 days a week, they have a responsibility to those kids as much or more than any babysitter, and yet their hands are tied by a stupid law, and lives that otherwise could have been saved, especially children, are now gone, and they want MORE gun control?! how about this for gun control: lets change the meaning to being armed and able to hit a soup can at 30 yards from a handgun, as much as i hate guns i would call THAT gun control, CONTROLLING the GUN in defense of ones self or others.

you might be right about it being kept, i hate guns but im not going to give my ammo, or let someone take my 2nd amendment rights, and i have to disagree slightly with the may be coming part, i think it is on its way, just a matter of time. hell ive had thoughts of gettig my drill press tuned up and getting some 80 percent recievers to make some guns myself incase they start taking guns like they did after katrina, they cant take what they dont know about. i think it was also to protect citizens from the government becoming tyrannical for lack of the right term, and to protect us from what they are trying to do now, if i remember right it clearly states the right to keep and bare (bear?) arms shall NOT be infringed.

when the world dont end, id bet a lot of supplies will be up for sale, some might end up being those guns and ammo
