Taking away guns won't reduce murders. Shit, you can kill someone with your bare hands if you really wanted him dead!

1. A term often misunderstood as to meaning the control the appropriation, selling and accquisition of firearms.
2. Applying proper use to a firearm, as to be able to accurately accquire and dispatch hostile targets.

Some people say gun control is the only thing keeping the nation safe from crimes. I say that *MY* gun control is the only thing preventing people from committing acts of crime on me.

1. The generic term for the overarching set of laws in a given locality setting limits and/or restrictions on individual gun ownership.
2. The NRA's pet cause, and the reason most toothless rural inbreds hate liberals in addition to their tolerance of gays and belief in science.
3. A cornerstone of progressive liberal social policy, ostensibly to reduce violent gun crimes. Unfortunately founded on the premises that inanimate objects bear responsibility for the actions of the people who obtain and use them, and that criminals would simply just obey laws forbidding them to own guns.

In European countries with strict gun control, both the assault and homicide rate from gun related violence is significantly lower than countries with more relaxed policies.
"Liberals want to take your guns away so terrorists can attack you in your homes and churches without you being able to fight back."
Liberals want gun buyers to be checked against a terrorist watch list. The NRA opposes this proposal.

Limiting access to firearms or outright banning firearms is an extremely foolish idea. I understand that such acts are intended to prevent violent crimes, but they do not. Such acts only limits a law-abiding citizen's ability to protect himself, his family, and his property. A criminal, WHO INTENDS TO BREAK THE LAW ANYWAY, will not have any compunction about illegally obtaining firearms or obtaining illegal firearms.
Keep in mind that when the second amendment refers to "a well-regulated militia" it means "a group of citizens formed to defend its community" not "the United States military." This is confirmed by the fact that the second part of the second amendment begins "the right of the people..." not "the right of the military!"
Furthermore, Federal gun control laws are inherently unconstitutional because they violate a state's rights. Remember the Tenth Amendment? The Federal government does not!

All citizens should be allowed easy access to firearms. Furthermore, every state in the U.S.A. should pass "shoot the burglar" laws. Would you break into someone's house if you knew there was a good possibility the owner would shoot you? i wouldn't!
Of course, I will not attempt to argue with you gun control advocates who disagree with the facts. Your disregard for reason and factual information is enough of an argument against you. While you cannot help forming an opinion, that does not mean your opinion is right.

Also, maintaining control of your gun (i.e. muzzle control) as to ensure the barrel is not pointed in anybody's direction, ever, even when it's unloaded; and yet you can still manuever it to hit game when the opportunity arises. Excercising proper gun control is important because when you're out in the field, you need to be able to remain safe because that is the most important part of using any firearm. That and it's usually a good 50 miles to the nearest hospital and nobody needs a bellyfull of #7 steel shot.
Proper muzzle control is accomplished by making sure you are always 100% in control of where you aim your gun's muzzle and that it isn't pointed at any human, road, vehicle, or house (with rifles, do not point it at a house even miles away). The safest place to point a gun is down, at the ground, or up and away from anyone. Also, don't put your finger on the trigger until you are literally going to shoot the game in the next instant. This saves lives.

Bob exercised poor gun control. He got two pheasants, a grouse, and a quail. And his buddy Ted's GMC Yukon Denali XL.
Ted exercised good gun control. He got three pheasants and a sparrow that got in the way. And $6000 to repair his SUV.

One of the stupidest things the liberals are trying to force on this country. They say they want to do it to stop violent crime but it's stop law-abiding citizens from protecting themselves. Plus even if guns are banned it's not going to stop violent crimes. I mean a criminal does things illegally so if guns are banned they're just going to get them illegally from the black market. So there that puts citizens at an even bigger risk.
Gun control is just going to end up making law-abiding citizens defenseless against violent criminals.

An insidious plan that has aided almost every tyrannical government for the past century in murdering millions of unwanted or dissident civilians. People who support strong and restrictive gun control are either completely ignorant of history or maliciously trying to destroy liberty, perhaps both.
People who advocated strict gun control include but are not limited to enlightened individuals such as Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Idi Amin, Mao Tse-Tung, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot, Qaddafi, Kim Jong Il, Diane Feinstein, Sarah Brady, Rosie O'Donnell, Hilary Clinton, and Paul Helmke.
