[Vision2020] Isn't it about time...

[Moscow Cares]

I see what you mean.

I can't even begin to imagine the difficulty of tracking down a wounded Rocky Squirrel with my trusty AR-15 with a 90-round drum loaded with mixed hollow-point and armor-piercing rounds.

Seeya round town, Moscow, because . . .

>> I liked the chart showing car regulations next to gun regulations. I am no lawyer, but I’ll bet that much of the sticky points on such comparisons come down to the fact that guns are in the Constitution as a *right*, but driving is a *privilege* , which is a different kettle of fish. A lot of people don’t realize this about driving, and assume that it is ‘our right to drive.’ Nope.

>> And don’t give me those goofy complaints like we need guns because ‘what if we’re invaded by the Russians’ … or ‘..we might need to overthrow the government one day.’ The age of guns is over, folks.
>>  
>> I don’t think many people will take kindly to my suggestion that we repeal the 2nd Amendment. So, I’ll offer a compromise solution: Make it ok to own guns, but strictly regulate the firing of guns, making it a felony to fire them. Seems reasonable to me anyway. ;-)  Then, if we really ARE invaded by the Russians, go ahead and shoot. It won’t matter if everybody is committing felonies, because the Russians that will be invading won’t speak English anyway hardly and won’t know about the crazy law. Never mind.
