Why would someone want a double barrel shotgun as opposed to a single barrel?

Obviously, the more the better..... now what about triple barrel shotgun? That would be righteous!!!

One of the reasons the Founding Fathers wanted the "civilians" to have the right of gun ownership was to have the ability to overthrow the Gov't should they find the need to. Now if the Gov't can control the # and types and such then there goes that ability.

"New York Rep. Peter King, chairman of House Homeland Security Committee, will introduce a bill to ban carrying a gun within 1,000 feet of a member of Congress and federal judges. The measure will also apply to carrying weapons near the president or vice president.

King announced the measure at a press conference today with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who heads a gun control group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns and who is backing the bill. King's move may indicate there may be gaining momentum for some sort of gun-control measures in the wake of the Tucson shooting.

King's spokesman was unable to immediately say whether the congressman, who has been generally supportive of gun control measures, would back a separate bill being pushed by New York Democrat Rep. Carolyn McCarthy and New Jersey Democrat Sen. Frank Lautenberg to ban the kind of high capacity magazines that alleged Tucson shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, used during Saturday's attack."





Soon only the shooter with have a gun within 1000 feet of a politician! (I'm speculating that the shooter will break this proposed law)

Cars will be flipping all over the place. Fortunately, everyone will walk away with only minor cuts and bruises and the bad guys will always serve their time.

Btw, they are already banning cribs where the side rail comes down. Something about a dozen kids or so getting trapped/suffocated in the last few years.

I did have this conversation with a friend of mine that is an avid hunter and gun owner. For the record, I am mixed about guns and gun control.

I asked if there was really any need to have high capacity magazines, assault weapons, or semi-automatic firing mechanisms for a gun owner. Not is it fun, or is there a right or any of that. He replied "Of course not, but that misses the point" I asked what the point is.

"Because the folks who want to restrict gun rights won't stop there. It will be be just a fight at the next thing anyways. They have no intention of stopping at that, so I want to fight there."

I can't say that I disagree. Once one starts ceding rights, the slope just gets steeper and slipperier.

As an example, look at what has happened around smoking. same sort of thing - passionate anti smoking advocates have gotten it to where legislation has actually been filed (and died in committee thankfully) to ban smoking in your own car. Hidden under the "second hand smoke" and "we're only protecting the children" moral high grounds, of course.

I don't own any guns, and don;t really want to, but I certainly want to have the right to if I feel I need or want one.

If high round magazines/clips were made illegal, do you think criminals would obey this law?

Just where do you draw the line at how much control government can exert over our lives, Rick? I'm asking you to really think about that.

Whenever I discuss gun rights with anyone, I always end up repeating the old line: "It's not about guns, it's about freedom."

INCIDENTALLY IF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WANTS YOUR GUN, THEY WILL TAKE IT OR KILL YOU IF THEY WANT IT BAD ENOUGH.

THEY HAVE BIGGER GUNS, MORE OF THEM AND THEY EVEN HAVE THEIR OWN AIR FORCE, SO YOUR DREAMS OF FANTASY ABOUT.YOUR 30 SHOT GLOCK PROTECTING YOU FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. IS A WASTE OF A GOOD DREAM. DREAM ABOUT GORGEOUS WOMEN WITH POINTED BREASTS, KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

I think this would be a Great Law. And of course since "No One" will have a gun within 1,000 feet of a Politician, the President and Vice President, they won't have any need for "Armed" security.
Hey if there is a law against it, we know no one would want to break it. Right?

I was talking about ANY gun restrictions NOT just high capacity clips. Also there is a scale of numbers that would help keep the gov't in check. If it was so easy for them w/their Air Force and bigger guns why are they have so much trouble in Afganistan?

The attacker was actually stopped by one woman and three men while he was trying to reload.

The argument could be made that were there just one armed citizen in the crowd, there would be a lot less victims.

Pro-Gun control arguments are always based on the assumption the lawbreakers will start obeying the laws.

Rick, we know why you've asked MACS, but I'd like to know why you ask this question?

I've posed similar questions on another thread, but more for my own edification.
Forgive me if I misread your post, but something tells me that you've got more sinister motives.

I agree with the "slippery slope" scenario discussed above.
As a citizen who is witnessing our rights being taken away at an exponetial rate, I don't want to give the inch, for fear that I'll be giving up many miles.
Hell, I'm half-thinking about buying a firearm BECAUSE of the push to systematically disarm our citizens.

It would be interesting to hear why you pose such a question.

Thanks.

I'll make this big and red so maybe even a little bit of this can sink through your thick scull. If the police are the first line of defense, then where the hell where they during this murder!? Police are a DETERANT to crime. They are not under any legal obligation to protect you, as declared by the courts. If you call the police and someone is murdered because they fail to show up, guess what? There is nothing you can do about it. You can't even take them to court. I know this is going to burst your little fantasy world bubble, but YOU and only YOU are responsible for your defense. But what do anti gun freaks do when they feel threatened? They call SOMEONE WITH A GUN (police officer) to come and save them. How dare they ask someone else to risk their life for them, when they are unwilling to protect it themself.

Most of the police officers that I know carry 15 to 17 rounds in their guns, with 2 or 3 spare mags. That's 45 to 68 rounds, plus the shotgun or M-4 rifle in the trunk. If they have an M-4, they have multiple 30 round mags to go with it. They also have partners, backup, bullet proof vests, radios to call for even more help, and sometimes even armored vehicles. The vast majority of police officers will never come under fire or even draw their weapon during their entire career, yet they still feel the need to carry all that ammo, even with all the backup they have available to them.

What does the citizen have to defend he and his family with? If he's smart, he has a gun that he has trained with, and that's it. No partners, no backup, no bullet proof vest, no radios, no armored vehicle, yet people like you want to limit the amount of ammo he can carry to defend his family. Of course that's only until you take his gun away too, and make him a helpless victim like the rest of you.

Oh, and another news flash, Ricky poo. CRIMINALS DON'T OBEY LAWS!!! If they did, then this shooting would never have happened. Of course, in the twisted Liberal world, if there had been a law prohibiting this guy from carrying a gun within 1,000 ft of a government official, it would have stopped him from the shooting. Laws against murder didn't stop him, but some silly gun law would have. Do any of these lawmakers have even half a brain!?

Well, it's like this. Whether it holds 30 rounds or not isn't an issue. The real issue is gun control only controls those honest, decent, law abiding Americans for the most part. The insane, the whack-jobs, and the criminals will still have guns and still use them. Period. Most folks in England don't own guns and most the police don't carry guns. The real criminals in England have guns and use them.....

Oh, and one more thing, Ricky Boy, police officers are not military, so hence they are civilians just like the rest of us. So I guess you're asking Mac why police officers need to carry so much ammo. Now I understand. My bad.

Simple, because gun right advocates know exactly what the following questions will be:

Why does a civilian need a hand gun that holds 25 rounds?

Why does a civilian need a hand gun that holds 15 rounds?

Why does a civilian need a hand gun that holds 10 rounds?

Why does a civilian need a hand gun?




The second amendment is not about hunting or self protection it is about the citizens being protected from the government. True, the military has lot of sophisticated weaponry, how is that working out in the mountains of Pakistan?
