But I am assured that gun registration in the United States will never result in guns being confiscated by the Government.

Copyedit note: You used the redundant phrase, "angers gun owners" villager Feb 2014 #1
because they are fun to shoot bossy22 Feb 2014 #2
I've heard that cocaine and heroin can be fun, too. Some people enjoy kiddie porn. Electric Monk Feb 2014 #14
So now gun ownership is akin to destructive drug use and child molestation. clffrdjk Feb 2014 #19
Bossy said "fun" was enough reason. I disagree, and think fun doesn't come close to enough reason. Electric Monk Feb 2014 #22
Yea, that does not explain away your idiotic comparison. clffrdjk Feb 2014 #27
failed analogy gejohnston Feb 2014 #23
Did I say making? This OP was about ownership and use, and where can the line be drawn. Electric Monk Feb 2014 #26
So what makes this gun special? clffrdjk Feb 2014 #28
Proven wrong? I'm not a gun expert or Cdn gun law expert. You're arguing with wikipedia. Electric Monk Feb 2014 #30
No, I am asking you a few questions to get you to expand on your opinion. clffrdjk Feb 2014 #37
My analogy was the similar mentality of hardcore users, that "fun" was reason enough Electric Monk Feb 2014 #46
that is where your analogy fails gejohnston Feb 2014 #47
I'm discussing the mentality of the users, with "fun" being justification enough. nt Electric Monk Feb 2014 #48
that's when your analogy gejohnston Feb 2014 #50
Classic projection. You got called a name once and it stung? Call someone else it! LOL. nt Electric Monk Mar 2014 #53

There is a difference between drawing a line and moving an established line. gejohnston Feb 2014 #32
Pretty much everything was once legal. Essentially, everything starts out that way. beevul Feb 2014 #33

The wiki link says select fire: Safe, 1, 3, or 20. Electric Monk Feb 2014 #4

See post #14. Some people "need" kiddie porn, apparently, too. Doesn't mean it should be legal. Electric Monk Feb 2014 #15
And obviously you "need" to keep posting this. Nuclear Unicorn Feb 2014 #17
Define "this". Are you accusing me of pedophilia for thinking "fun" can be a bad thing? Electric Monk Feb 2014 #24
It's obvious that you use pedophilia as an example of harm but your analogy is wrong. Nuclear Unicorn Feb 2014 #38
You seem quite interested in "kiddie porn," having mentioned it twice. Eleanors38 Feb 2014 #18
How many times have you talked about guns? LOL nt Electric Monk Feb 2014 #20
They own guns..are intrested in guns, and use guns. SQUEE Mar 2014 #57

Nothing wrong with owning a counter assault rifle. ileus Feb 2014 #36
