[quote=SoLiDUS]The reason I'm so angry is simple: the right to bear arms is a RIGHT, not a fucking privilege. You have to understand that it is there for a reason: a disarmed populace is a helpless one. When totalitarianism becomes a reality, good luck taking back control when you have no means to do so. I may be paranoid, but that doesn't mean they aren't planning to take over our lives: in fact, if you look closely, they are already doing so in limited fashions. Slowly but surely, all aspects of your life will be regulated and some day, it will be too late for you to speak up against the ills befalling you.

All rights discussion aside, I enjoy plinking and the precision it requires: you may not derive any satisfaction from it, but this is your preference and I have no intention of converting you. All I ask it that you inform yourself by reading the studies and statistics before immediately assuming gun control is the solution to the problems 0.00001% of firearm owners create, causing the remainder to lose their right (and trust me, it's only a matter of time before the others are attacked, just watch). You may also be interested to know that almost all firearm owners are more responsible and law-abiding than the average citizen, and that most gun-related problems are caused by criminals who were never following the rules in the first place.[/quote:1add1]
This sounds a bit far fetched sloi....
But in any degree you and i will be dead and long gone before the populace is totally taken over.
