Maybe the government should ban ALL weapons, then there will be a mass revolt against the government, thousands of innocent civilians will die, along with militia, military, and politicians, and in the end we'll have a new government system...

The American Revolution Part 2.

I think the revolution is coming whether the people start it, or, outside influences cause it. (economic collapse when no one will loan us money any more.....)

You guys are crazy. I am all for gun rights but its insane to think no registration is a good thing. In Pa I paid $50 to register my handgun with the state police and I feel that is ok. I am a law abiding citizen and I do not want my gun to get in the wrong hands, so i will register it.

If I lived in a state where they would not register guns, I would not feel too safe about that. To each his own I guess. The problem is there are too many idiots and not enough responsible gun owners out there for me to feel safe with them not being tracked. Unfortunately that is the world now, a bunch of paranoid nut bags. Just try to buy ammo anywhere... It's all wiped off shelves

You lost me in the logic of that statement. Apparently, you don't understand the concept of the Right to Privacy. Have you ever read the preamble to the US Constitution?

What's left of it?

Registering your gun does not make it any safer, nor does it prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. All it does is clue in the government that you have one.

In most states, handguns must be registered, very few states require registering rifles.

In Chicago, handguns are banned, yet they are competing quite well for murder capital of the US...... banning something does NOT make it go away.

Sure I do. I also understand that the constitution was written back when they had black powder guns, not semi automatic weapons. Unfortunately, times change and people get more and more crazy with their "right to privacy". When it starts effecting other people and my family, I have a problem with that.

I never said banning of weapons. Look at Australia, they outlawed all weapons and crime rose 70%

I am in full support of the 2nd amendment but its a shame we can't have a system in place that protects the sane responsible gun owners from ones that want to go on a killing spree and kill innocent people. I don't wanna start a huge debate here, just chatting about it openly

There aren't any laws that would prevent the whack-jobs from doing their thing, short of an outright ban, and forcible removal of guns from society. (of course, that would bring on problems all its own....) What our government seems to fail to understand is: Criminals....... don't follow the law. NO legislation is going to fix that.

Want a safer society? Ban Gun-Free zones. Notice that 99% of mass shootings happen in gun-free zones....... mainly because the shooter KNOWS that no one else that is there will have a gun. At least, not until the cops show up.

I agree with you ten fold about criminals. No debating there.

Average response time for cops is 6-7 mins...

I guess I am crazy for thinking there should be some sort of system in place to protect us from the crazies... oh yeah there is for now... Gun ownership
