Well... this is only my second post since joining, so here goes...
Speaking from a younger generation (still merely 23), A lot of us have the same "You can take my gun when you pry it out of my cold, dead hands" attitude as the older people out there. I forgot where I read or heard the phrase "If guns were outlawed, then only criminals would have guns", but it makes a hell of a lot of sense. For starters, how many criminals buy their guns legally? How many even pay MSRP for their guns? Hell, on that same note, I'm sure they would go around the whole "gun tax" thing when it would come into play. And once guns are banned.. Ha! The same way they got them illegally when they weren't banned would be the same way they would get them after a ban was put in place. Now, my friends, where does that leave us? You guessed it. Law abiding, tax paying, patriotic citizens who are left defenseless because a few people in high seats some where on the Mason-Dixon Line (Washington D.C. for the non-geographic type), think that America or in that case, Americans, would be safer if there were no guns.. Ha! Well politicians, we're from Texas. In this great state of ours lay a small town named Gonzales, made famous by a group of volunteers back in 1835 who flew a flag with the immortal words "Come and Take It". You want my gun(s).. Ammo.. Magazines. Come and get 'em. Or better yet, Come and Take It....
Sorry if it seemed like a rant.. Just had to get it off my chest.
