RE: ATF
It is our constitutional right to own guns, I have many of them and like to shoot them.

RE: ATF
Anyone that believes firearms are bad has 1. not studied this or for that matter any other country's history,
2. Has the ignorance to believe that an inanimate object is either good or evil
3. has never had an urgent need of one.

RE: ATF
Now I'm not against guns but, "never had an urgent need of one" is a bad thing?

US history: Kennedy shot and killed, Reagan wounded, Lincoln shot, etc.

Ever heard of a gun discharging by itself and killing someone?

RE: ATF
Actually no. They require action to do anything. They do not do anything by themselves (its part of that inanimate hunk of iron thing). If you cock one and lay it on the table for the next hunderd years nothing will happen without interaction. The people hurt or killed were hurt or killed by other people. I do know of a guy shot by his dog. That's because he layed it down and the dog got a toenail caught in the trigger guard, darn bad luck and careless. they deserve much more respect than that.

RE: ATF
Just recently there was a gun discharged itself while in the cargo hold of a plane... narrowly missing a passenger. It happens.

RE: ATF
So does getting struck by lightning and winning the Lotto. But you have to be out in a thunderstorm or buy a lotto ticket. That gun was stored loaded and that was the action of a human. All of us are responsible for our own actions whether we intended the consequences or not.

RE: ATF
True story:
I have a cousin that is a retired "Revenuer" aka, ATF.
He spent his long career busting moonshine stills in Southern Appalacia.

He and his wife were best friends with another cousin and her husband. These other cousins lived on a large farm in South GA. ATF cuz and wife visited couple #2 for a week or so many many years ago. Then, several years later, cousin #2 informed ATF cuz that he had a >hic< moonshine still in his tobacco barn when ATF had spent the week with them. ATF cuz was EXTREMELY PISSED(!), and broke ALL ties with #2!

Funny stuff!

LOL!!!

RE: ATF
If I remember right, there were no guns on AA Flight 11 and UA flight 175.

Maybe it would be better if people were simply pushed out windows.
