PA Gov. Rendell Wants Tough Gun Laws in Response to Cop Killings

[KeiselPower99]

How about instead of new laws they just enforce the onces they have anyway.

I have had guns for a long time. I have one on me 24/7. I have a 9 year old daughter that knows what my guns can do. She respects my right to own guns and understands why her grandfathers fought in WWII and how they taught me to defend my RIGHTS. If guns are taken away from the people that have the right and are responsible and follow the RULES, the only people that will have guns are the people that get them on the black market and unlawful ways. Do not take my guns.

just because you said "dont take my guns away". nobody is proposing that. your pistols are safe.

Gov. Ed Rendell today called on Congress to enact a federal assault weapons ban.

it appears he seems to think that 22 year old psychopaths shouldnt be able to obtain ak-47's so easilly.

Tony, I am not going to engage the “gun” subject here, as there are so many other things going on the SFF that I do Not want to be a part of and this is one that I just wanted to state my case for having my guns.

I have a five year old daughter and am hesitant to have a gun in the house. I have always thought there is a greater chance of an accident with her and her friends or cousins than me using it on a burglar. Lately I am starting to second guess my decision and am seriously ready to get a pistol.

same here. as a gun lover, that is the delimma i am faced with. but i did take my 5 1/2 old out to the range a month or so ago just to watch and she didnt seem scared. i may see if she wants a bb gun around 8-9 and then go from there.

my guns are kept elsewhere. i have a bat.

btw... you say you 2nd guess your decision? are home burglaries going up in your neck of the woods or are you drinking the kool-aid that your right to buy/own a pistol is about to be taken away?

Burglaries have not been a big factor where I live, knock on wood. I am gone for a couple of nights a week and have always wrestled with the decision to have a gun or not. I currently have an alarm, but no gun. I would feel more secure if my wife had a gun, conditional of her actually knowing how to use it. No I am not paranoid about the right to own a gun being taken away at all.

I would feel more secure if my wife had a gun, conditional of her actually knowing how to use it. im with a psychobitch so i guess i feel safer w/o one here. No I am not paranoid about the right to own a gun being taken away at all. good deal.

yeah, we have a peg legged clinical woman who lives in the neighbrhood. her son, who is a burlary fellon has moved in since her last trip to the county jail. theyre typical meth heads living off a huge monthly settlement check. i also have a disgruntled employee, living out of a van who owns a gun and has just been dumped by his wife and lost his job, and has nothing to lose.

i'd like to have my license for a concealed weapon right about now.
