read # 18 again and tell me if that is proof that it isn't the gun that does the killing it's the fool behind the trigger if the killing was less in the 40's and 50's and it was way easy to get a gun then I think it is the way todays society is just plane messed up! straighten out your kids before they kill in the future.

So because I question a potential technicality in the law I'm now a fool behind the trigger?

Don't try it in Boulder. You know the answer to that question in that town...
And personal opinion is, without a threat, you can't SHOOT 'EM IN THE FACE!

Easy Dave - I seriously doubt he was referring to you. I read the post as support for the saying that guns dont kill people, people kill people.

As for your technicality, I seriously doubt the immigration status of someone is going to qualify by itself and I will assume you meant that with tongue in cheek. I think we all understand the "criminal" would need to be someone barging in or making some sort of apparent threat and not some illegal ambling into a store. Common sense will always apply. But, like I said, I take your observation of that potentiality in jest.

Rebuttl, ten good reasons to ban guns. Not just my opinion either, I've got facts to back me up.

1.) Guns are used in self-defense over 2 million times a year. However, this makes the attempted crime a "non-event," which necessarily complicates the Police investigation. Without civilian ownership of guns, these Police investigations would not have been compromised. Civilians should leave crime prevention to the Police, who are properly equipped to investigate following the crime's completion.

2.) Some .004 % (4/1000 of 1%) of guns are used in crime each year. This is way too high. All guns should be banned.

3.) Guns are unnecessary. In 98% of civilian gun defenses, no shot is fired. If you are not going to fire a shot, you clearly don't need a gun. This proves that the guns are unnecessary. Banning guns will prevent these unnecessary defenses.

4.) Guns cause criminal migration. In tough gun-law Washington, D.C., violent crime rates are very high. This high crime rate is caused by the migration of criminals from gun havens like Virginia. This migration is caused by the criminal's cowardly avoidance of armed householders and concealed-carry civilians. This criminal migration is detrimental to helpless unarmed citizens in no-gun areas and must be stopped. Guns should be banned everywhere.

5.) Most gun crimes are committed by inner city gangs and drug dealers. These relatively small and geographically restricted groups consistently commit the majority of gun crimes, which usually peak as turf wars erupt over Drug War changes. The best way to prevent this is by denying guns to all law abiding people everywhere.

6.) No woman needs to protect herself from rape, assault or murder. The Police will protect women by investigating the crime after the fact. Remember, Police paperwork is all the protection anyone really needs.

7.) Guns owners are disrespectful of authority. Good citizens should completely rely on the authorities. A failure to do so is an invariable sign of improper and overly independent attitudes. Failure to completely and absolutely trust and depend on the authorities is excessive democracy and sends a bad message to children.

8.) Guns owners engaging in self-defense are taking the law into their own hands. This is wrong. Only the Police and Criminals have the right to take the law into their own hands. It should be kept out of the hands of citizens.

9.) Children and young people should remain ignorant about guns. Real guns and real gun knowledge dissipate the fantasies created by violent video games and TV. Ignorance, once lost, can never be restored and needs to be protected. Not to mention the lost sales of all the violent movies, TV shows, video games, etc!

10.)Guns reduce people's reliance on the Police and Government. This fosters a mistaken belief in "rights". No person has the right to question authority. No person should be less than 100% dependent on authority. This is fundamental to social order. Banning guns will help to establish the Order the authorities want. This is good.

Sooooooooooo . . . . the burning question that I'm sure SOMEONE will ask sooner or later, whether it be on an internet forum or in a court room for his defense if that law is passed . . . .

If an illegal alien enters your business/home/whatever, and you shoot him regardless of any threat from him, are you off the hook since said illegal alien is a criminal????

If A PERSON, regardless of immigration status enters your home, place of business, or vehicle unlawfully, THAT ACT ALONE is criminal activity, and the rule that you can assume the person intends to cause bodily harm applies.

That is what the law says. Cut and dried.
