Don't really see the analogy. And why exactly shouldn't a hunter be printed? A crime couldn't be committed with a hunting gun?

Well handguns are more likely used as they were are not designed for hunting wildlife. When your constitution was written America was still a wilderness and guns were mainly used for hunting and fighting the natives.

I agree. If you want to own a gun I don't see an issue with giving fingerprints.

We didn't defeat them by throwing rocks is what I'm saying. Look at all the peoples who've been conquered by those with superior weapons throughout history.

If those who fear their own shadow relinquish their rights for the promise of false security, then it's their own fault for what is in store for them at the hands of tyrants.

Everyone should go watch Red Dawn. Then you will understand.

Nobody should watch Red Dawn regardless of which way your gun views slant because it's really terrible and about as realistic a scenario as Transformers.

No doubt they will now call for firefighters to carry guns also.

Most schools already have armed security.
