Blue guns at MK

[durangojim]

I don't think you can ban all guns, but I always wonder why the NRA is against stricker rules for gun purchases I mean it's tougher to buy a car! And their against things like making it mandatory that a person report a stolen gun? Also, does anyone need to own a high caliber assult rifle or an uzi? And before someone jumps down my throat and say it's their right to arms and what ever those arms may be should be respected....does that mean I can own a nuclear warhead? Because if we wanna get literal with interpretation then it would be my right.
PS- As for colored guns, I think it's as long as they have painted tips but it would be wierd to make the whole gun some wierd color. They are flint lock...but even those can hurt!

This is an argument that is often cited by folks who don't own guns. Automatic weapons are illegal in most states, and in the ones where they aren't, they extremely hard to obtain legally.
If someone is a law abiding citizen, why shouldn't they be allowed to own a high capacity semi automatic rifle? I own a number of firearms and have never injured anyone. And before anyone calls me a "gun nut" I'm actually in a profession that helps heal people, go figure. I believe that good people follow laws and bad guys don't. It doesn't follow that because you can legally own a gun you should be allowed to own a nuclear warhead --I don't think that it can be used for self defense or just for fun for plinking.

My intent starting this thread was not to debate gun ownership, just that it is sad that society has devolved over the decades where children's toys must now be identified as children's toys due the rise in crime.

I am not intending to rile up some anti-gun debate witht his question...but could you please fill me in on why the NRA tries to make it less strick for people to purchase guns? And why they would fight a law that would make it a crime to not report a lost or stolen gun, or go after straw purchasers? These are laws that are meant to help protect the public, and don't seem to injure law abiding gun owners?:shrug:

Now of course I am talking about the NRA, and if your not a member of that organization, I don't expect you to have any insight for me, but if you are, it would be appreciated, because I like to know both sides of an argument.

<OFF TOPIC>

Actually automatic weapons manufactured before the federal ban on machine guns are legal to own (circa 1986) -- they are also legal to sell/purchase with an ATF Class III permit. About half of states require registration or some further regulation of automatic weapons. However, most states have laws that prohibit the discharge of ANY firearm in public (with limited exceptions for self defense, police, shooting ranges etc). But the most important thing to remember is that compared to semi-automatic weapons, fully automatic weapons are MUCH more expensive to purchase because of limited supply of weapons made prior to 1986 -- making them very unattractive to use in commission of a crime.

Responding to an earlier poster, the Pirates toys are not flint locks, they LOOK like flint locks. They are cap guns and are incapable of firing any type of projectile.

Back on topic: Does anyone have pictures?

Ahh Jordi(or was it Jordy?), you were always so smooth.

 

[AstareGod]

Just to throw a personal anecdote in, I was sitting at a counter service dining area at DHS a year ago and saw a boy about 7 years old with a toy gun point it at his mother and shoot.

Time to cook up some popcorn!

 

[gjpjtj]

i've painted orange caps on the ends of all my real guns, so that when a criminal assaults me they get a surprise.

I think everyone has wanted to shoot their parents at some point.

Or their kids.

Seriously, my son sometimes goes to a paintball range with friends, and I've been invited along. I just feel uncomfortable shooting at him, or having him shooting at his mother, so I always decline.

:lol::lol::lol::lol: I am not sure that I would decline going to a paintball range with my mother, and I know for certain she would jump at the chance.

That is hysterical. :lol:

using a bladed weapon is far more satisfying

 

[figment1988]

i just wonder what kind of blue will they use on the muskets, because i have a feeling that if they use a light blue color, they might end up looking like the blue Justifier gun that came with the home version of Lethal Enforcers

So? Nothing wrong with that. Kids like to play make believe...I know I did when I was a kid.

Good grief! We must protect ourselves from ourselves.

Only when the government or an expensive attorney says so.
