Gun Control vs. Gun Rights

[Jason McCarty]

What's your stand on this issue?

Take every gun, bullet and armament and melt them down to make fences or aeroplanes or something.

Guns maim and kill. A gun has never done anything good. And too many innocent people have been killed.

The world would be a better place if guns had never existed!

I'm quite happy with the way things are here. I perhaps would make the penalty
for using guns in crimes a lot more severe, though, and maybe allow target
shooting enthusiasts access to hand guns, instead of having the present ban.

Rap, I'm curious to know how a gun ever killed a person. It takes a person to pull the trigger, the gun does not act alone, or of any free will. It's an inanimate object, only useful when a person is on the other end to fire the bullet.
Speaking of Bullet, his life and the lives of 2 other people were saved because of his gun. I thank God every day that he had that gun on him that night, or he'd have been the one dead.

Why is he imprisoned? Have you links to reports, or court proceedings? Perhaps
this is one for a different thread.

Actually, Bill I think this is the perfect thread, considering that the Governor here just passed the Castle Doctrine law that could overturn his conviction. I mean, we are talking about gun control and gun rights, aren't we? Had the law been passed 20 days previous, this thing would have never even gotten to court.
He is imprisoned because 12 moronic members of a jury believed the prosecution over our lawyer. I have none of the transcripts or reports yet, and won't have them until the beginning of October.

Yeah, it would be, except shooting a crack dealer in Detroit isn't news-worthy. All the details of this whole thing can be found right here in FG. If you have specific questions, zip off a PM. This was a self-defense case, plain and simple.

I'm sure it can be looked up, but I don't know you and I'm not about to give out my husband's personal info over this forum. If someone I know vouches for you, I'd be happy to tell you.

Ah, that would be interesting. A crack dealer shot at my husband who returned fire from his legal, registered gun that he was carrying with a CCW. My husband was a beter shot than the crack dealer. It's really that simple.
