A felon cannot buy a hand gun from a gun shop but will easily buy one from a "collector" at a gun show. What kind of crap is that?


Not entirely correct. Private sales at gunshows aren't regulated like the sales at the booths. EVERY booth selling ANY firearm must be FFL compliant. The media seems to state otherwise but they are full of $#!t. It's the Joe Nobody with a gun for sale walking around trying to sell it that isn't regulated. I have seen first hand someone refuse to sell their private gun to an individual. I think law abiding gun owners are getting more savy to who they do business with.

Interesting fact: In WWII, Hitler had a detailed plan to invade the US since all our troops were in the Pacific and Europe. It could have worked but the ONE thing that kept him from following through with the invasion, was that Rommell informing him that US CITIZENS OWNED GUNS. He was afraid his troops would fail against the PRIVATELY OWNED FIREARM AND THE PEOPLE OF THE US. I think he was right about failure.

One other thing, not to nitpick but this illustrates the missinformation the media feeds us about gun crap; An armor piercing bullet does far less tissue damage than a hollow point bullet (you mentioned Eagle Claw but I think you meant the Black Talon handgun bullets). The armor piercing will penetrate further since the bullet deforms less and pass clean through with less tissue damage than even most lead bullets. Most normal hunting ammo for rifles will penetrate police body armor but it's not called "armor piercing".

We all have the right to stand up for what we believe is right. I have nothing against any of you who believe opposite of me. I simply choose my stance based on the primal instinct of being able to fend for myself and not relying on anybody else to do it for me. I'll try to shut up now.
