No, it's time to *scrap* gun control, and any other naive political scheme that ignores basic realities about human nature. Instead of promoting hard-and-fast rules for who may possess what, let's just say that people can do what they want with their own lives and property as long as they don't initiate force or fraud against others.
It's time for us to grow up and stop trying to control and micromanage everything in this country...it doesn't work, and it never has! Just ask yourself, in the course of human history, has The State stepping in and prohibiting something ever *bettered* a situation, or merely worsened it?

"I now live in Wyoming and I've lived in CA, AZ, NV, OR, TX, MO, IL, MI, & WI and I'll take WY any day. I like living in one of the safest states in the country, where 1 in 4 are packing and little old ladies in their 80's carry nickle plated 38s in their purses. I carry a .45acp in a shoulder rig, all day, every day, every where. I like living in a state where I can go into the Country Sheriff's office, the City Police office, the County Courthouse, and the City offices with my weapon. I like living in an area where the most common question about my carry weapon is, "Hey, what calibre?", or, "Is that an XD? Sure looks like one.".
When someone does ask why I carry, I simply ask, "Why don't you? I accept my social responsibility to provide for my own protection and that of those around me, why don't you?"
So, I ask all of your.
What did our Founding Father risk their lives, their families, their fortunes, and their property for?
Why don't you accept your personal responsibilities and man-up a bit instead of 'woosing out' and expecting someone else to 'be the man' and take care of you. Yes, this also goes for the ladies.
There are a few places here whe...

There are a few places here where you cannot carry concealed, with or without a permit. The only places you cannot carry openly are a jail, a mental facility, the capital bldg proper (kinda stupid, that one), or places limited by 'federal' edict.
Get trained, get educated, get a weapon, do your duty, and read USC Title 10, Subtitle A, Part 1, Chapter 13, Sections 311 and 312"
As it is, the ATF got caught arming a Mexican drug cartel. How much government help do criminals need?
The .50 BMG was made to hit hard targets only.
But the facts aside, gun control is a farse and should never be attempted
So tell me, would you also ban hunting rifles; they are only meant for killing, too. Or how about .22 pistols, shotguns, rat poison, insecticides and any other product that is legally manufactured with the primary purpose of killing something?
Knowing this, the only question is whether or not to defend yourself.
Anyways, no I don't trust the government, although I'm honestly not worried at the moment about a runaway U.S. government, they're not stupid enough to do that...
I also believe they're is too much control on a majority of things already, but what can we do about that is the question we really need to answer....
Would better gun control laws stopped a crazy person from doing those stunts like that? Is it time to reform gun control? I don't think so, what kind of reform would be good? While we're limiting peoples actions, shouldn't we restrict content of film productions also? probably had significant affect in the CO shootings.
I cannot support any restriction on my rights to own and use weapons, generally for the sport of hunting, also to protect my isolated home in the country from intruders. I'll be damned if some isolated case and crazy person in CO, TX, AR or any place else influence my right/privilege to own and bear arms in an appropriate manor.
I new there was going to be a goofy question like this on here this evening!
Right on queue the local official just said...."All the guns he possessed he possessed legally, all the bullets he possessed he possessed legally, all the clips he possessed legally."
Feel a little out of touch with reality or do you feel he wasn't one of the "wrong people"?
The unarmed man is not just defenseless, he is also contemptible.

After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it.

If the government can regulate our rights, then they can also destroy them!
