and why do gun owners NOT want to advertise that there is a gun in their home,
when ALL OTHER PREVENTIVE FORMS TO STOP ROBBERIES are fully advertised with alarms and neon signs all over telling the robber to go elsewhere

why?
oh yeah, it's not for protection
and if it's not for protection, what is it for?

the constitution does NOT say one can overthrow a government.

Why do pro-gun people resort to bringing other things in to the picture?
btw, a car owner IS NOT reponsible for someone who drives drunk who is not the owner.
Therefore, you fail at your own argument here.

BTW-let's assume your plan in place- you do agree then that 100% of all guns should be marked, registered and be specific to the one person who buys it right?

Have you thought your plan through? I think not.

Only reasonable gun control is to not have any guns and bullets

and make it zero tolerance for anyone in any street anywhere to have a gun, with the max penalty for anyone breaking it who is not on duty law enforcement.

How would the mass murderer in the conn. school have been stopped, and what good would retroactive penalty against his now dead mother who owned his guns have done?
