  a few of you may remember that my wife had a kidney transplant early last year.

  since then the kidney has been incredible, giving her a new lease on life.

  it's really been good to see the light in her eyes that i had missed for quite a long time.. the counterpoint to this good news is the problems we have had with our son coltin.

  five bullets almost weren't enough to save herself and her two children.

  And as far as I'm concerned the person who breaks into someone elses home left his right to continue to breath at the doorstep or window that he broke into. Especially if me or my family are there when it happens.

  Not shooting someone in the face with a .38 seems to be an awful cruel thing to do to your children if you're trying to protect them.

  Who are you asking David? I don't think that my guns are going to keep a tyranical Govt. at bay but they'll run circles around the crackhead down the street, especially with me on the trigger.

  You know when I left this thread 5 hours ago we were really on to something.

  Firstly, you don't put the weapon at your hip and spray unless (1) you're in the movies (2) you're a dumbass Arab in Baghdad or Somalian in Mogadishu or (3) you're playing Call of Duty and are clueless as to how to play the game well.

  Scenario (1)- Young person of either sex alone at home hears an intruder. Person pulls a semi-auto handgun, let's say the commonplace Glock 17 with a full 17 round magazine plus 1 in the chamber for a total of 18 rounds. The person engages the intruder with the firearm.

  Scenario (2)- Same person, same intruder except the person has an M4 sized AR-15. That means it has a 16" light contour barrel with standard trigger and iron sights. The person engages the intruder with the firearm.

  Let me ask you all this question; which firearm (assuming a fairly equal amount of competency) is safer for anyone in the vicinity other than the shooter or the intruder?

  I anxiously await your answers.

  That's a bad situation you had there designs. There's no easy answer but sometimes you have to fight back. By the way how young were the grandkids?

  No I don't like your scenario of re-registration. The only registration needed should be the 4473 that you fill out when buying the firearm. I feel that something can be done about current owners who suffer a severe mental breakdown but no I don't think it right to have to undergo a mental and physical screening unless...and I mean...unless everyone who drives does the same thing. Think about it, you could identify those with drug and alchohol problems before they get hehind the wheel.

  I agree. If you could by banning something keep some whackjob from killing 20 children I'd be all for it. I just don't believe some sort of arbitrary banning of particular weapons or features will do it. It's tilting at windmills at best.

  A couple more things I want to put out there. Well maybe more than a couple.

  (1) Waiting period for gun purchases: Having to wait a couple of days for your gun is no hardship as far as I'm concerned.

  (2).Background checks: These need to be as thorough as possible including mental history.

  (3) The supposed Gun Show Loophole: Any business that goes to a gun show, buys table space, and engages in selling anything other than guns should be prohibited from selling a gun. If they want to sell guns they should get an FFL.

  (4) Individuals selling there guns privately: I don't like the idea of the Govt. regu lating this however I know the possibility that these guns may fall into the wrong hands. An easy solutionto this if it were mandated would be for gun dealers to charge a small nominal fee to temporarily take possession of the gun until all checks are complete.

  (5) Banning certain kinds of firearms: Extremely absurd notion based entirely on needless fear from those who don't know enough about guns.

  (6) Lowering capacity of magazines: Somehow even more absurd

  One thing I failed to mention that needs to be examined is making ones home as unappealing as possible. I think homes could be designed to be safer from intrusion through reduction of blind spots, stronger construction techniques, built-in security systems, etc.

  If nobody wants to invade you then you won't have to shoot them.
