Are you for or against gun control?

Yea of course, unless you're firing into a crowd.
Even then you tend to just wound and not kill. In semi auto a well disciplined person would be able to KILL 30 people with a full magazine. In full auto your chances to kill go down to about 5-7 people. You would be really surprised by how many bullets don't even hit anyone. Its not like you can aim a weapon in full auto with any kind of accuracy, you can only point it in the general direction and hope you are hitting.

Full auto uses all your rounds in less than 2 seconds. So you either need to hit everything you aim at with incapacitative force, or you are going to be shot back at by the wounded desperately trying to save their own hides.

I agree, full auto is worthless, only when you are doing combat maneuvers with squad size or larger groups is it even necessary.

Looks great in Hollywood though, where all cars blow up with fiery abandon if they crash and most guns have unlimited capacity for bullets.

Ever think that Hollywood embellishes things somewhat? Like cops that can shoot smiley faces into targets at 50 Yards while not even looking?

In real life most cops spend less than 4 hours per year shooting their guns.

Absolutely against any form of gun control and all for any form of controlling the government rather than it controlling us

Dude what's up with this King shit ??
Well, if you are a US citizen you should know.

When you are Subject of the Crown and successfully rebel, who then is your Sovereign? No one. Now the govt can be set up differently but we didn't do it. We kept the Soverignty of the Individual. We set a Founding that made it Law.

So, you are not the King of anyone. But, if you are a US citizen then you are a co-King with. WE give a little bit of Rights to govt and the govt can't take away Rights. They can tap dance and restrict, but when DC tried to ban gun....oh hell no, and thanks for the chance to prove this is only about battle weapons and the CONSTANT breakdown of civil order.

For the first time in history we created a rank above all else, for Citizens. Only a few other countries have this. But, none but a tiny few have anything like our "divine rights" as individuals that we took from the Crown by force, not so long ago.

So, you ain't the King of anything except your own damn self. And if not for the gun you would not have that.

I think you are confusing the wild west with the American west.

Cowpokes and OK corral= American West

Wild west = time of westward expansion when there were no sheriffs or police presence, especially in the midwest states. Hence the Term "Wild" aka "Lawless" aka "No law enforcement around".

Get it?
The Wild West era was from about the 1820's to 1870's with high peak being in the 1840's with the mass exodus east known as Manifest Destiny. It was secluded during the Civil War, as most states out west did not participate, even though there was a mixture of pro- and anti-slave states. The 'wild west' tapered off in about the 1870's with the completion of the Transcontinental Railway AKA Pacific Railroad. It stayed relevant as the wild west until 1890's when the first cars started making its way west.

Most conflicts in the wild west came from new settlers and Native Americans, as well as Mexicans, who felt their land was being encroached upon and taken from them. Something some Americans want to hide. Now you did have some outlaws like Jessie James (1847 – 1882), Billy the Kid (1859-1881), Butch Cassidy (1861-???) that added to the legend, but you can also see by there life dates when the west was wild..again Wild west did not last 100 years..maybe you have it confused with the west expansion..Wild Wild West happened during the West expansion... don't confuse the two.

Actually I retract my earlier statement about the zombie apocalypse. Maybe it can happen and will. What if.....these genetically "enhanced" foods with all the preservatives in this shit actually changes our DNA. So when we "die" all the preservatives keep us in an undead form......THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE PLANNING AN UNDEAD ARMY AND A COUNTRY OF LITERAL EASIER TO CONTROL ZOMBIES!!!!:o

Is that how Wesley Snipes tried to get out from paying taxes. I think he ended up doing 3 years..Not only was he a king, he also half vampire and half motal man.

Hmmm don't see you providing any sources to back up your claim like I did.
 
From an overseas perspective it seems like you just have loaded guns lying round everywhere and sometimes kids go round shooting everyone.
So bizarre you all let it happen.
What a great idea to give guns to Kids, people with mental health problems, killers - LOL

I swear.

There is no Monsanto Protection Act.

Monsanto is not even mentioned in the bill that gets called the Monsanto Protection Act.

Read the bill, not a blog.
Yeah, cuz there are just SOOOOOO MANY companies that create biotech seeds that need to be protected if the seeds end up killing people.
