And I again say that almost all of our police chiefs want this ban re-instated. They want the people to be safe, not for some whackos with assault rifles firing on everyone.


From where I'm sitting, that's bullshit. I live in a very, VERY pro-gun-control area, and I know for a fact that both the boro and township police chiefs wanted the ban gone. Why? Because it wasn't doing a damn thing to make people safer.

And by the way, it is not in any way easy to aquire a firearm legally.

I applied for a firearms ID card one week after my birthday (August 9). It still hasn't come in, because the FBI and State Police are STILL doing background checks, filing away my fingerprints, etc. I have never been arrested, never comitted any crimes, have no traffic violations, and do not do drugs of any kind, but they are still going to scan their entire database from A to Z to see if they get any matches. And even after I'm cleared and have my Firearms ID card, I still can't buy a gun until I go through another background check.

Please tell me how that is easier than just buying a gun illegally. I will bet every cent I own that I would have had a gun by the end of August if I had bought one illegally. Since I am a law-abiding citizen, I probably won't be able to until some time in October.


"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
