You're just jealous. You think because she's not giving it to you, she's not getting it elsewhere?

is your axe locked up all safe and secure as you think others should have to do with their weapons?

Do your own homework, lard-ass.

a secure gun safe would have done the trick.
i don't think it's too tyrannical or orwellian for people to lock up their guns when they're not using them in any way, not even in the house, and especially when they have someone in the house that they're trying to commit.
if my dog gets off the leash and hurts someone, i am responsible. i think gun owners should be held to just as high a standard.

Assault Rifle:
any carbine chambered for an intermediate round which can be selectively fired in semi automatic mode and at least one additional mode including burst fire and fully automatic.
Assault Weapon:
any firearm which looks scary.
Cheezie's "definition":
every projectile weapon ever made.
under your definition a flintlock musket would be an "assault weapon" since at the time of the US revolution they were the most efficient weapons available.
unless your definition simply inferrs the most efficient weapon of the day, and "assault Weapons" of yesteryear surrender their position to the new hotness, then EVERY projectile weapon ever made is verboten.
accepting your definition in the most logical form, only the MOST effective arms are "assault weapons" so we the people could be prohibited from owning ICBM's, nuclear warheads, top of the line battle tanks, and hunter killer drones.
meanwhile the lowly infantryman's rifle is merely a tool for "peacekeeping" and defense for the men on the ground, thus we should have any type we like. ill have a Thompson M1 with a cutts compensator please.

OK.
the SCOTUS is fully on board with LOTS of restrictions on gun ownership.

[h=3]How*Heller*Affects Gun Control Laws[/h]How much the ruling in*Heller*will affect gun control laws in various cities and states remains to be seen.
The gun control law at issue in the*Heller*case -- a nearly across-the-board gun ban in the District of Columbia --*was considered to be the strictest gun-control law in the nation.*Because the Supreme Court's ruling concerned only this*strict ban on handguns, the decision leaves unclear whether less-stringent bans in other states and cities will survive constitutional challenges.
And, although the Supreme Court's decision adopted the broader, individual-rights interpretation of the Second Amendment, the Court also made it clear that the right to own a gun continues to have a number of significant qualifications or restrictions, including:
- Not everyone can own a gun.*The right does not extend to felons or the mentally ill.
- Guns cannot be carried everywhere.*Laws forbidding individuals from carrying *firearms in "sensitive" places, such as schools and government buildings, will probably stand.
- Certain restrictions on the sale of guns are allowed.*Laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of firearms will most likely stand.
- Individuals do not have the right to carry certain types of guns.*The right does not protect guns that are*not generally*owned for lawful purposes, such as short-barreled shotguns. Just what kind of handguns may be possessed is not explicitly set forth in the opinion (apart from the one specific reference to sawed-off shotguns, which are not allowed).* The Court did endorse the "the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of 'dangerous and unusual weapons,'" but did not state whether such weapons include assault weapons or semi-automatic weapons.
- Concealed weapons.*Laws forbidding people to carry concealed weapons on their person (or in a place close at hand, such as the glove compartment of a car) probably remain valid.
- Sentence enhancements.*A variety of criminal laws provide for increased punishment of offenders who use weapons when committing a crime.*Heller*does not affect the validity of these laws.
silly little racist fuck.

that's what i hear. for some reason, she was taking him to the gun range too. getting killed by her own gun was probably some sort of cruel, ironic karma.
some people have gone even farther, saying that no guns should be in the house of a mentally ill person. i'm content with knowing that they are very securely locked up when not in use.

Well, if we are going to make laws like that then I am sure no guns should be in the house of a drug abuser... Especially those medical marijuana freaks... You know, for the children.

I think it can logically be argued that you are impared and thus a danger... It is as much justification as you provided for your gun ban.
