Prohibition of alcoholic beverages should have taught us that the only people who benefit from big government pushing citizens around, are the Al Capone/Lucky Luciano/Dutch Schultz crew. None of whom ever let a law against anything keep them from spreading terror…
And a lot of us would give up our bourbon* long, long, before we would give up our ability to defend ourselves, our families, & our homes.

Of course, it is easy for me to say that* I’d** give up bourbon; I have known how to make my own bathtub gin since I was in grade school…

Alcohol sales, service, consumption (in some circumstances) and advertising are still strongly regulated and restricted though. And no-one suggests that special treatment is somehow necessary because you might want to give your 10-year-old son a beer or great-grandma left a bottle of vintage champagne to him in her will or something 🤷

And no-one argues that strengthening these laws (by, say, slightly decreasing permitted blood alcohol levels while driving) would be no use because people are going to drink drive anyway.

At a minimum, gun ownership laws should be consistent and consistently enforced just as the laws relating to alcohol are.

Responsible families introduce their children to alcohol at family and church ceremonial occasions. Responsible families do not wait until their children are teenagers and suddenly are exposed to alcohol from “friends” in binge parties or when used for beverage purposes. Teach your children about alcohol under family-controlled circumstances.

Guns are already highly restricted [which is why we are having so many problems with false arrests and nutjobs killing school children] and people who are “anti-gun” want more and more rules and regulations.

We can start by repealing the “Gun Free Zone” sign legislation. Why do we WANT to advertise that our children are defenseless and therefore easy targets for cowardly nutjobs who shoot themselves at the first sign of armed confrontation.

Repeal the “Gun Free Zone Act”. In hindsight, “gun free zones” are absolutely schizophrenic. Absolutely acting out that wishes were reality. Looking at life through a kaleidoscope instead of via a clear window. Delusional thinking. Immediately repeal the “Gun Free Zone Act”!!

Nutjobs and criminals can get all the guns they want anytime they want.

What we are trying to do is to make people aware that guns are effective defensive weapons and with further restrictions, innocent people will be increasingly victimized.

Please answer: why do the people who oppose guns prefer criminals to have the ability to out-gun law-abiding citizens? Whose side are they on.
 
Play with your Guns if it makes you feel good…

Just don’t leave them lie around the place so children blow someone away !
 
A firearm is just a tool like a saw or a drill. As a husband and a father its my job to try and give my family a safe home to grow up and live in. I have many tools that I use to maintain my home and keep it safe. If someone enters my home with the intent of harming my family its my job to stop them and the tool that I use for that is a gun. If someone has a better tool then that for that job id like to know what it is.

To a degree you have a point, but not really … I was raised on a Dairy Farm…
Birth, Life and death are a daily feature… wild dogs need putting down humanly …
They didn’t ask to be born a wild dog… so in that sense ,yes a gun is a tool…
but you don’t carry a drill,or spanner to kill someone or a wild dog…
Guns actually kill things. one shot and they are dead…
so really guns are not the same as a hammer & bag of nails …
We had guns too… but we never had them with there with the intention of killing a person.
Guns are not something like a trophy you have on a bench for all to admire,
if you feel insecure about yourself, then why do you need a cannon of a gun ?
I know, it’s a debatable argument we could talk about all day… with no clear winner !

Precisely correct. And what a very good question, indeed. Funny how none of the antigun politicians has ever even attempted to answer it.:hmmm:

If you think alcohol is highly regulated you ought to check out the firearms industry.

You didn’t check very hard.

Feinstein said on CBS-TV’s 60 Minutes, February 5, 1995, “If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them . . . Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in, I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren’t here.”

I verified this to be true. My question is, don’t US Senator’s swear to uphold the Constitution like what the President has to as well?

For her to admit that she would want to ban all guns violates the Constitution doesn’t it?
