Man kind likes killing each other, we have been at it long before there were firearms. We sell thousands of items that kill people,where do you start, ? Cigarette's. My point, it depends on who is talking to Romney. As a State Champion Trap Shooter I have carried firearms into every Sate in this Union. Do I have problems ? no, never have.

[ApachieJoe]

Camp Perry and the Grand American tell us, thousands of armed people with all kinds of weapons are not the problem. So what is ? simple, let me write the law for misuse of a firearm.

Will I stop misuse,? not 100% but I'll sure thin them out as they will never do it again, not in this life. Romney can change, 30 round clips were a little dumb, that sort of BS, time's change, so can he.

Romney supports a total ban on "assault rifles". If you're a gun owner, and vote for this tool, you deserve to get shot.

What a sack of shit car salesman. I hope the rest of my fellow NRA members don't listen to this lying douchebag

You are only a real conservative if you support the most liberal Republicans.

@stephano1990 Who protect you from the government then? Who's watching the watchers?

[richarcm]

@stephano1990 The 2nd Amendment isn't to protect us from crime or to hunt. Its to protect ourselves from dictatorial and opressive governance.

[richarcm]

@stephano1990 How were they different times? I don't see them as all THAT different at all. We are going through the same oligarchical authoritarian opressive governance that our founders experienced.

[stephano1990]

@EricIndecisive yes I know that. But those where different times, I agree that we shouldn't take the peace for granted, you never know when there's going to be a war, but that's not a reason why civilians should be prepared for war while there is no direct reason (unless there part of the national Guards of coarse).

@stephano1990

Remember that guns are not just for protection from criminals, the amendment was put there to protect people from their governments. You think it sounds crazy now, but they thought that at one time too. Times of peace, times of war, golden ages, civil unrest... governments change, turn tyrannical, then good again. We are not 'special' we've just grown up in a good era. One that seems is sharply on the decline. But when you waive your right it's gone for good
