    Oh I agree that this is by no means the ONLY reason people are less charitable now, but it is probably the primary reason for it.

    I would say cops and guns together scare me...but I would get chopped off at the head again like when I said bad cops hurt more citizens of this country than terrorists----so I will remain quiet.

    As I have said, and continue to say... BAD cops, not all cops... BAD cops.

    Your comment said "cops and guns together scare me." That is a very broad statement. You said nothing about bad cops, good cops... That is not the issue here though. I'm trying to figure out what makes so called "assault weapons" such evil things? Most assault weapons are less powerful than weapons that are not on the list... In the assault weapons ban during the Clinton era New York's Carolyn McCarthy was one of the key people fighting against assault weapons, one of the options she said should not be allowed on weapons was a barrel shroud.... If you are asking yourself what sense that makes, you are NOT alone. She was asked why barrel shrouds should be banned and she wasn't sure why. When she was asked what a barrel shroud was her response was "it's one of those shoulder things right?" For those of you who don't know, a barrel shroud is a cover that goes over the barrel of a gun with holes or slots in it that allow it to stay cool while the barrel inside gets hot. It is a safety device so you don't burn your hand... And this is one of the things the far left has targeted?

    any restriction on any firearm (including assault weapons) will just lead to more restrictions on our most basic freedom: to provide for and protect your family. some say that fully automatic weapons are easy to get just because they see an assault weapon in a sporting goods store. They done realize that the ONLY way to own a fully automatic weapon in the united states it to have a class 3 license. The government can then raid your house at ANY time to check on what you have in your house. you also have to keep them notified on everything that you do (moving, vacations, etc). the fact is, most people buy black rifles for hunting purposes. The ar15, for example, has become the go to firearm for predator hunting due to cheap ammo, good accuracy, good fire rate, and infinite possibilities to customize your rife. am i mistaken in believing that there is also a ban suggested on magazine fed weapons? that would mean i would have to fork over my deer hunting rifle just because you can press a button and carry around a little case with 3 300WSM shells in it. there goes almost all pistols too. we as citizens can not let the government encroach on the right to bear arms. even if you are not a gun owner, would you not atleast want the choice to own one? it is not the legal, law-abiding gun owners that cause crimes; they prevent them. you should not verbally (typographically?) attack police officers. They put their lives on the line for you and your family. Think how chaotic it would be if there was absolutely no law enforcement. the streets would run wild with all of the riffraff emboldened by the lack of punishment. we must rally together and fight for this right.

    Actually Puro, none of that as sarcastic or personal----AT ALL. Its the truth, as I see it----or an opinion to everyone else. Im sorry your a cop and cannot be impartial in this discussion or believe that the jobs you all do are perfect...but the fact is that is not the case. I would think (and hope) you would want to call out bad cops too, since they reflect on your profession as a whole and are why many people do not repect LE like they used to. As for taking things personally, refusing to admit someone else's opinion may hold some water, or (as Kuzi) believing your opinion is more enlightened or informed than everyone else's----you too kind sir didnt fail to disappoint. BTW, that part may have been personal, but only as a response to you making a blanket statement about my posts simply because your dont agree with the opinion stated.

    As far as trying to engage the so called "topic at hand", are there any statistics that show the % of crimes using regular guns vs assault weapons -----as compared to the amount of each type of gun possessed by citizens (estimated)? That may be a reason.

    Lol---Funny I must admit. The real right wing religious nuts couldnt have afforded the price of admission however, nor met the "2 tooth minimum" requirement.

    i thought that the real "religious right" was a bunch of corporate fat cats that wanted corporations to take over the world?

    Kuzi----Dont make me ask the question about fist-a-cuff's in your childhood again......Just enjoy a little humor for once instead of having your nose in something just for the sake of having a word.

    I will do my best :) ---------Discuss always interested the hell out of me BTW for some reason....as did the javelin (sp?) and shotput... seemed very Roman and harkened my historical side toward a different time of sports, if that makes any sense.
