Default lets regulate cars!

Myo...

If someone steals your car, you should be responsible for any damage or injury resulting from this theft. After all, you wouldn't want to blame the person that actually committed the crime or hold them responsible?

There is no constitutional right to own a car; that is why the government can license drivers and restrict the use of automobiles. When you say the government can restrict gun ownership, your next step is telling people what they are permitted to say regarding free speech, or telling them what religion they are permitted to practice. THAT is why we have a Bill of Rights that guarantee these freedoms....notice that speech is the first followed by the second...the right to keep and bear arms.

I am trying to refrain from my comments as I don't want to get banned. The point is Obama everytime he has "voted" it has been for more restriction of lawful citizens wanting to protect themselves. Now I don't know if he wants to end the ffdo program, but I can't believe the "change" in the last 2 months. Good thread, people need to watch closely to what he and Eric Holder really want to do with our country. She is too good to be going down this road. Remember you are responsible for yourself not the governenment. When seconds count the police are minutes away. Be safe.

Anyone care to comment on the fact that all the article is pointing out to someone with a trained eye is that the guy is only trying to create a few jobs and any assumption that he intends to shut down the FFDO program is unfounded?

If you want to say Obama wants to end the program, provide some proof.

Hey MyoFace,

I am not sure that you realize that the AK-47 that Obama wants to ban is NOT an automatic "machine gun" type firearm. It is simply a "repeater". Pull the trigger once and it fires one round and no more. The assault weapons ban that will most assuredly become law very soon under Obama will ban weapons because of their "look".

So there is no possible way to make them shoot more than bullet at a time? You know, the funny thing here is I have no issue with gun ownership, just done responsibly. Some of the people on here seem to take issue with the responsibility part of it. That scares me.

Protection is one thing, but how many guns do you REALLY need to protect yourself, and better yet, does it really need to be an uzi?
how many guns do you REALLY need and does it need to be an uzi?. well lets see.
How many drinks do you REALLY need to take the edge off?
How many clubs do you REALLY need in your bag and do they need to be callawys?
How many TV sets do you REALLY need and do they need to be 50 in.?
How many cars do you REALLY need and do they need to be SUV's
How many motorcycles do you REALLY need and do they need to be harleys?
I'm not making an attack on you personally , just trying to make a point.

And your point is that you or the government can decide what the individual really "needs". Is that your point? Just curious, how do you see that working. I would like to hear your plan for everyone or is it just "trust us"
