Beside the fact that you would possibly become the most unpopular guy in your street, this project has been tried before..... and it didn't work! The glory days of Al Capone and Co. owed their livelyhood to this prohibition.

Im just saying, comparing alcohol to guns, alcohol is the more dangerous substance...I realize that it didnt work and that's why people wont try it again.Because they fear modern Al Capone's and Babyfaces...So why dont we ban alcohol, because of our lessons learned by Prohibition...for those same reasons will we never ban guns..because people will start the same "tactics" as before, people will horde guns and sell them for money and we would have a bunch of crime.

We won't even worry about what the constitution says about our "Right to bear arms" then since those are the only reasons.

What do you reckon of the fantastic mix of guns together with alcohol? If the first won't kill you the second most certainly will!

Dude, Ted, my family routinely mixes the two, at least once a year, and I have all my fingers. The cattle across the highway have never been the same, but they aren't people.

Actually, what you need to do is drink, drive, smoke, eat at McDonald's three times a day and carry around a shot gun wherever you go. Why? Well if memory serves me correct cholesterol, automobiles and smoking are the three biggest killers in America, oh, don't forget 12 minutes of tanning everyday.

Granted the police are minutes away, but those are minutes you don't have when someone is wandering around your dining room looking for the silver.

If you read my post you'll see I said 3-5 seconds to gain access to your firearm.
If you need one sooner than this upon waking then I suggest you need to post sentrys outside your bedroom door.

I know the constitution says that...and by the wayside if you havent figured it out, im for guns. I like my pistol and i dont care what anyone says
