[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 913180, member: 17969"] PSST... ment, better look into what the founders really believed about guns. The original intent of guns wasnt to hold them at home. They were to be kept in the center of town, in a building, with the ammo separated by one floor. Gun powder was used back then. The founders had no intentions of giving people automatic rifles and ammo that can penetrate armour. Todays idea of guns is far removed from the founders original intent. Todays gun freaks are men who never got over cowboys and indians as a kid. EGOmaniacs who live in fear, and wouldnt know how to defend themselves if given the opportunity. Gun owners are repeticiously sold the concept of fear, being afraid comes out in every explanantion ive seen on this thread. "im gonna protect myself from intruders" "im gonna protect my family against carjackers" "im gonna protect myself from robbers"... blah blah blah,, no matter what the explanation, its all FEAR BASED. The typical GUN owner doesnt describe the same America that I live in. I live in an America where I travel freely, live freely and dont have to keep my head on a swivel. Those that claim the have to sleep on a pistol to feel safe are the biggest babies of all. If you cant even sleep in peace, how can you live in peace? The FEAR basing of the GUN argument is for sissies, but it works as an effective tool to sell guns. Its just too bad that those who live in fear and buy guns for "protection" only end up killing a family member or themselves. I prefer not to live like a sissie. Peace. [/QUOTE]
