[QUOTE="sortaisle, post: 416795, member: 17605"] Both sides have there good points. I've lived in Los Angeles, Ca Vancouver, WA(Portland Or) and Spokane, WA. Living in LA you can see the effects that guns have on the communities down there. However, most of the guns down there are completely unregistered or stolen (trust me). In Portland and Spokane, most of the guns are registered and there isn't even a tenth of the gun violence you see in LA. This is going to turn out to be just like the prohibition ban of alcohol. People are going to get guns wether the government wants them to or not. And good luck shutting down the companies that make the guns in a free market society like ours. I however completely am in favor of gun rights. I have no problem whatsoever with the waiting period on buying firearms. I would rather be on an even playing field in the very unlikely event that someone tries to harm me or mine. I don't think that ammunition needs to have the same death tax put on it like alcohol or cigarettes, they won't kill you eventually from common usage like liquor or cigarettes. Loosing someone to gunfire is a terrible way to go. But there's vehicular homicides, stabbing, and poisoning with common everyday ingredients. Are you willing to regulate those things as well because they can pose a danger? If those kids who take guns to school shoot other kids, the tragedy is in the way the kids behavior was ignored and got to escalate to that point. If guns weren't allowed, it would've have been a knife or a hatchet or a bat. [/QUOTE]
