It's interesting that the people of Iraq have more second amendment rights than Americans. The AK-47's that they get to keep are FULL AUTOMATIC while we poor Americans can only own SEMI-AUTO rifles.

If I had the choice between a semi-automatic AK-47 or a fully automatic, I would take the semi-automatic. Full auto just sprays bullets and wastes ammunition.

I am not against private ownership of automatic firearms. I personally would not own any because I do not like firearms that waste ammunition.

I really don't want a Full-Auto firearm. Semi-auto teaches you to be better at shot placement and ammo conservation.

Notice how most of the middle east and african nations where the poor man has a full-auto they usually tend to spray bullets all over without aiming.

We're working on, we're working on it...

These laws we have weren't passed in a single day, and it'll certainly take more than a single Administration to dismantle them.

"Assault weapons" and high-cap magazine ban is first.

If gun owners ever got organized and quit expecting others to take care of problems for them, they could eliminate anti- gun laws.

Amazing isn't it. I would be curious to see the numbers if any exist, on the crime statistics in American in compared to those in Iraq. Hard to believe they would have the same amount of theft, robbery, homicide etc as we do. If I am not mistaken, there are about 20,000 homicides a year in the US. Outside of those killed in Iraq due to war between the fanatics, I wonder if Iraq's numbers were that high in an average year of non-war related typical homicides involving private citizens.
