[quote=GUEST40200,256904]Gun ownership is a right most Americans choose not to accept or endorse by utilizing this right.  There are a number of Americans who believe that if gun ownership were more prevalent crime would decrease.  It's kind of like a Nuclear Detent - if everyone owned THE gun, then rest assured someone would kill you if you tried to bring harm to another individual or their property.  Texas is an interesting state when it comes to gun ownership and utilization.  Recent amendments allow you to protect a neighbors (fellow citizen) property with deadly force provided you have been previously endorsed to do so.  Meaning that if your non gun loving mother asked you to keep an eye on her house while on vacation, and you notice a burglar (non-violent crime in most cases) entering mom's house, you are well within your right to bust a fawkin cap in his arse.

I fully believe that guns do not kill people...people kill people, and if you are dumb enough to break into my house and endanger my family, then it should be my right to reduce you to a headless lifeless lump of flesh.

The laws of gun ownership were set forth in the constitution to prevent the very thing many of you are protecting.  Government has shown time and time again around that world that when it comes to absolute control, its not a far leap from Maggy Thatcher to Hussein.  America was founded on the belief that government should be "of the people" - not some power hungry dictator, and private gun ownership WILL prevent this.  We have the right to dismiss any tyrant and band together, to form a militia at any time.  Private citizen gun ownership is part of this mandate for a militia.  Our forefathers saw fit to equip us with the ultimate ability of preservation of government.

I just wish they had thought about the various perversions our government has seen fit to permit - Same sex marriage is but one thing going on in our country which would have our forefathers turning over in their graves.

One thing I can't stand is the world's perception of America being a bunch of cowboys running around with a six shooter strapped to their hip.  When you come to America you may never see a gun on an average citizen.  That doesn't mean they won't be armed...we have elaborate concealed carry regulations and licensing, and most who carry a weapon for self protection have had to prove proficiency with the weapon.   The pictures posted above are hardly representative of the average gun-toting family in the US.[/quote]
