Is gun control still that bad?

I am a right winger, a gun control opposistionist, and an anti abortionist, and, oddly enough, I am also an atheist. But among all else, I am an American! And what I see coming is far worse than any right or left wing conspiricy! It is basically this. I beleive that the left and right are jockeying for power, with the right winning. Whoever eventually wins, I think it is utterly plausible to beleive that they will go ahead 100% with their agenda, and damned be the masses. It'll either be a bunch of gun totin christian rednecks, or a bunch of abortionist, tax raisin, terrorist ignoring hippies. I think either one will kill the U.S.A. So, if that happens, I've got a stockpile ready, so is gun control really such a bad thing? :mp5: :mp5: :mp5: :mp5: :mp5: :mp5: :mp5: :mp5:

is it bad when crazies stockpile large amounts of weapons? ask saddam. heh. seriously tho, from everything but the first sentence, you sound more centrist than right winger.
edit:before i get jumped on from the left saying that he didn't have wmds (note i never said the weapons were anything but conventional) and from the right for comparing his situation with, well, the NRA's, let me jsut say, lighten up, bitches.

For me, gun control is not a bad thing, because I don't care. For society gun control is a bad thing, simply because it sets a terrible precedent.

Besides, guns aren't the only thing that can be used to kill people. Are we going to ban kitchen knives next?

You wouldn't know what 'center' is if you didn't shop at one. Trust me, you're right-wing. By anybody's standards.

I doubt the slippery slope will go that far, but we don't want to start limiting ownership in the name of personal safety.
