My mistake, I had heard from somebody that there was no weapons permit in CO. Sorry for my mistake. I will fix the post. I do not think that people should carry ridiculous weapons and such. I just think that gun control should stay basically as it is and not tighten down like most people are suggesting.

I made a mistake in my original post. I meant weapons that are currently legal in the states, but not legal elsewhere.

i find this funny because i just found a study that states the exact opposite.

"After several years of crime rates holding relatively steady, the FBI is reporting that violent crimes – including gun crimes – dropped dramatically in the first six months of 2009, with murder down 10 percent across the US as a whole."
if anything guns are not really directly correlated to crime.... its probably much more based on the situation... if we think about this logically a bad economy leads to more crime. The environment is probably a bigger factor than guns or no guns

Oracle, I get your displeasure on redneck gun lovin' white trash that thinks it is a right not a priveledge, I do. But you're pro full ban on firearms because of these people and that's plain wrong, there shouldn't be a black and white point of view regarding something so complex like this.
There are americans that loves guns, that practices with them, hunts, teaches and so on. They appreciate the value of it as a tool, like I or any artist would appreciate the value of a pencil or a brush. There are people who knows how to handle them, knows when to use them, and have the right mentality to do great good with it. Not everyone are trigger happy morons who thinks they have the right to walk with AKs into a store.
I'm just saying there is a middle term, I don't understand how you can support full lifting of gun possession.

I know there are people who are not idiots and are enthusiastic about guns. I know quite a few of them, and I'm mildly interested in them as well. I nearly threw a fit when I realized I didn't even have enough money recently to buy a Mosin Naganat for only 80 bucks. I'm still pissed at myself for that.
I just like arguing viewpoints, regardless if they fit my actual opinions. I'm actually for moderate gun control, where only logical sport and hunting rifles and pistols are for sale (single shot guns). I don't see why anybody should really need to be able to fire off 30, 20, 15, 6, or even 2 rounds in quick succession in a civilian environment. Even in hunting. If you don't hit your mark on your first shot, tough luck, I don't want you spraying like a maniac after the fleeing prey in a desperate attempt to not have wasted your entire afternoon stuck in a tree getting eaten to death by mosquitoes.
However, if I can successfully argue a complete and total ban on guns, I can successfully argue a moderate increase in gun control.
