HOW GUN CONTROL "WORKED" IN JAMAICA

We've all heard the phrase, "When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns." I can personally confirm that this statement is absolutely and painfully true, because that is exactly how the Jamaican disarmament worked.

Very well expressed articles. Thanks. Major BTTT!

Thanks so much for the How Did the Founders Understand the Second Amendment? link, Tonkin'!

Yes that is what is great about the internet. Next we'll be taxed for using it.

Yes, the power to tax is the power to destroy.... just FYI, here's where I lurk when FR is down:

Thanks! I like Newsmax.com I am listening to the Bob Dornan show right now.

I like Bomber Bob- he's a no-nonsense guy.

[goldilucky]

I do too. Unfortunately, he's been bumped off of the schedule now for a week. I think this is done on purpose.

I'm new both to FreeRepublic.com and to gun ownership. I'm thinking of getting a CCW permit, but I also understand that gun registration is the first step to confiscation (see, e.g., New York City, Great Britain, Australia, Nazi Germany, etc.). So, isn't getting a CCW permit like putting a big sign on your back that says, "Hey, Gun Grabbers--When You Confiscate The Guns Come To My House First"? I figure some of you CCW holders have thought about this issue.

Depends....IF the all of the Legislation gets put on the books, that the FBI, CIA, Ashcroft...et al have requested, then yes that will very likely be one of the first steps of that.

But...with the 'Gun Laws' that are already on the books, which would you rather do :

1) - Protect your family with a Legal weapon upon an attack from an outside source - and have the law(s) behind you...

-or-

2) - Protect your family with a weapon that isn't exactly legal, during a similar attack and - no matter the results of that attack and defense - go to jail for having/using an Illegal weapon.

Its most assuredly a possible "Catch 22" - but the groundswell of support of Gun Rights, things may begin to work in favor of our hopes & wishes....
