I understand the terms registered and unregistered, but it's the act committed that constitutes a crime, not the owning of a particular weapon. It is just as illegal (as well as immoral, unethical, etc) to beat someone to death with a tire iron as it would be to drown them in a toilet or pour...

I really, really like guns, and I don't think the hoops we have to jump through help much with crime. What intelligent criminal (yeah, contradictory, I know) is gonna go into a gun shop, file the paperwork on and purchase a new firearm, then go commit a crime with it, knowing it can be traced...

It always amazes me how much we're allowed to do....... Wouldn't you love to see some of these modern liberals walk up to someone like Jessie James or somesuch back in the day, and tell him he wasn't allowed to carry his gun. We would have a wonderful shortage of anti-gun liberals, perhaps.

That was kinda my point. You don't hear about the bucket-drownings, the "G-man shoots innocent civilian" and all the other "news worth printing". Just the brain-wash tripe that sells so well with the mainstream media.

No need for the expletives, Ed. I was simply "discussing" in my own way the "facts" that you presented. I have never been concerned that my children would play with guns and hurt themselves or anyone else. I consider these "statistics of accidental death of family members by handguns" to be...

What's to discuss? Either the figures are correct or they're not (note that they are 14 years old). The problem is, some geek leaves his handgun lying around on the bedside table, fully loaded, without taking the time to familiarize his kids with it, or the severity of its use. The kid(s) pick...

Oh you don't here either. Matter of fact, you don't need a handgun for self defense until some fool breaks into your home. But if/when one does, it's nice to know you have the option to defend yourself and family. Normal is relevant....;)

I don't own but one or two that AREN'T loaded...at all times. Every bolt-action rifle I own has one in the pipe right now (except two .30-06's which have the bolts removed for storage). I lower the hammers, but the chambers are loaded. Most of my auto pistols are fully loaded, a couple don't...

I know you didn't write the laws, Paul, so I can say without fear of offense, that a law like that is most ignorant. It defeats the very purpose of having a handgun for self-defense. Next thing ya know, ammo will have to be disassembled before storage. "Pull those bullets and primers and store...

Agreed on the sound of a pump-gun being racked, Al. The advantage of the handgun, though, lies in the fact that it can be fired with either hand, from almost any position. With a laser sight on it, this feature is enhanced even more. Plus, the handgun frees up the off hand for a flashlight, etc.

Not trying to be disagreeable, Stig, but I think your opening quote is speaking of the near-future result of the outlawing of guns. In other words, it is a known fact that criminals aren't concerned with being "legal". They're not going to run turn theirs in. From the same perspective, drugs...
