Hi Whitegoose,
I agree with you about guns. There has to be a better way to control the
problem. But even if guns wre banned, they'd find a way in thru smugglers.
One inventer I knew of envisioned somehow putting an identifiable microchip
within each bullet so as to trace the owner/purchaser of the bullets, not the
guns.
I never fired a weapon before the SEABEES. Then, a mess of light weapons & the
M60 machine gun, I fired expert with a M-16 rifle. So, me & weapons only
happened in the military. I have no gun or rifle in my house, I don't care to
kill any beautiful animals. If necessary there are other ways to inflict damage
to an intruder, I don't need a gun. Even, currently with this SNIPER incident,
packing a gun won't help anybody.
I read the CONSTITUTION as bearing arms only WITHIN the use of a well organized
Militia, like the Colonial MINUTEMEN.
Most people that come to our neighborhood, even Pastors, freak out, because of
my neighbors. We have a Civil War era house, owned within the family since 1920
and as our older neighbors are dying off, the "low life" move in because of more
affordable housing, mostly all minority types and the drug culture that goes
with it, but not all are bad. I get along with these people. Maybe I should
keep a shotgun behind the front door, but I don't OR haven't, YET! AND as to NY
State law, I have no right to defend myself with LETHAL FORCE!
