Gotcha. Any other questions that I might be able to shed some light to? Do you have any particular concerns about guns or gun laws?

 

Here is a list of Kentucky Revised Statutes that you can browse through on Firearms and Destructive Devices.

 

Yes...I do have some other questions. I am, again, trying to educate myself on the topic.

 

If we could wipe away all current gun laws that exist and start fresh, what commonsense regulations would you propose?

Another question...what qualifies a gun specifically to be semi-automatic?

Yep....there is always a real need for a law abiding citizen to own a full auto mack, a couple of ozzies, some handgernades and an anti aircraft gun.

Osbourne and Nelson? :lol:

 

Your fear of guns is the type of fear that usually brings about knee-jerk legislation that does zero good.

To quote Archie Bunker, --"Would it make you feel any better little girl, if they was pushed out windows?"

 

I will respond more to all of this later, too much to cover right now.

I'm not surprised you can quote Archie Bunker.

I know you're joking....but to me, domestic violence is no joking matter.

And I did it tongue and cheek, BUT I see many of my female students that are "in love" with guys that have domestic violence written all over them. Even doing it to them in HS, but those young girls are going to "change" them.

 

No, they aren't.

 

Ladies if they beat or treat you like crap when you are dating them and they are trying to woo you by showing their BEST side, they are going to beat you worse and treat you worse when you are married.

 

My sister and sister-in-law married jerks who they were dating. Guess what he was when they married him. A BIGGER JERK.

 

So, I was kidding but there was truth in it.

 

Any male that beats a child or woman, should be put in a prison and lose his rights to protection from beatings. I truly believe that.

 

But the females have to quit choosing poor mates who are jerks when they marry them because they "love" them.

That is a perfect example of "blaming the victim". Some women are actually are in love with these men that beat them. Some of them are "trapped" in that relationship. Whether it be because of kids, money, or no where else to go...it can be very hard for them to get out.

Another question...what qualifies a gun specifically to be semi-automatic?

A semi-automatic, is a gun that requires only a trigger pull for each round that is fired, unlike a single-action revolver, a pump-action firearm, a bolt-action firearm, or a lever-action firearm, which require the shooter to manually chamber each successive round.

We wouldn't have to wipe away the current laws, just enforce them. We don't need new laws, just enforce the ones we have.

That does not answer my question.

Rockmom, I have a question. Do we blame guns here? Is it the guns fault that these homicides happen? Must we restrict guns more because some people misuse them?

How many rounds can the typical semi-automatic gun fire in a certain amount of time?
