You're missing the point. What purpose do silencers, hollow point bullets, and AK-47's serve with respect to the second amendment?

Can public and private institutions declare their premises gun free zone (schools, transit stations, etc)?

If you want to take that risk, you can be my guest. Also, most people who pull a gun on you don't really mean you much harm, so all putting more guns in people's hands is going to do is get more people shot. People will think they can get a shot off when someone asks for their wallets.

Also, you're not always allowed to carry a gun. As I remember, Steve McNair was charged with something for having a gun in his car when he was intoxicated at one point.

Yes, Jose Canseco had something in his book about how he was arrested for possessing a legal gun on some school's property. The gun was legal, however, it was illegal for him to have it where he did.

You keep saying "putting more guns in peoples hands". The people who want guns, already have them. There are no proposed laws to give guns to anyone, there are only talks of getting rid of guns.

I'm saying that skinsfan_nn saying that everyone should have guns is a stupid idea. His point was that everyone should have guns, my point is that not everyone should have/carry guns.

Btw, I'm actually a fan of guns, I don't own one, but I have considered purchasing one for sometime. However, even if I were purchase one, it won't be leaving my home. It will be for protecting my home and that's it. I won't be carrying it around in case I end up outnumbered on the street one day...

I guess if you can ban smoking you can ban guns...hoary for the constitution.

I do think the number of handguns a person can own should be limited. This of course would not apply to antiques, curios and relics. They're not subject to either the gun control act or brady act.

If you're coming into my office and getting 10 handgun purchase permits every other month, you should be forced to get some sort of collector's license.

and what exactly would that accomplish? other then the county that person lives in getting more money? it does nothing to control the amount of guns one person owns.

Huh? Are you talking to me? If so, collector's licenses are issued by the feds, not the state.

OH, OK, gotcha.

I personally think that you should protect yourself with one. But that's my opinion.

No...his 3500 was in the neverending thread and it was to say he hit 3500 and he's going to bed.
I think he stayed up just to hit that number. LOL.

I like guns. I have a right to own guns. They should be prohibited in certain areas such as schools, hospitals, and Goverment buildings. Other than that you should be allowed to cary them anywhere that you want. The amount of guns that I own should be of no concern of anyone else so long as I do not use them in a manner that is not in conjunction with the law.
There is no reason for anyone to own armor piercing bullets, silencers, or fully automatic weapons.
