    So you wouldn't allow single shot break action rifles which are much slower to load and more primitive than are bolt action rifles?

    You would really prefer that shooting sprees be done with much more powerful bolt action rifles? I have a bolt action rifle in my collection with a 10-round magazine. It's powerful enough to kill an elephant, but the recoil is fairly mild.

    I'm glad you're not in charge.

    Not at all, I emphatically support the Black Panthers having their own club. Heck, I support them having a private militia armed with full-auto machine guns and artillery.

    Good on them for exercising their rights.

    The original gun control was racist, to keep guns out of the hands of the newly freed slaves. Current gun control affect the lowest earners the most.

    My only issue is if they, or anyone else, tries to bring their weapons into my property. I own a small bar with my uncle, and to make sure there are no deaths if any drunken fights break put, we do not allow weapons, and require that people check their guns and knives at the door. We've had a lot of NRA type guys come and tell us we are violating the 2nd amendment. They find it hard to understand that the second amendment only applies to public land, and that a person does not have the right to bring a weapon onto private property, even property used as a public forum, such as a bar, without the permission of the owner.

    alcohol and testosterone do not mix. When we have our annual pit party, I allow my guest to shoot at the range. Once the booze is broken out, ALL firearms get put away. I've never had a challenge to that.

    Many in the NRA consider the second amendment to be the right to disregard other people's privacy rights, and carry a gun anytime you want, whether a property owner wants them on their property or not. Such as the guys who protest gun laws by carrying assault rifles into fast foot restaurants. Whenever the owners tell them to leave, they cite the second amendment and claim it's their right to bring guns onto the property.

    We now have a sign outside the door that says anyone attempted to bring firearms onto this property without permission of the owner shall be asked to leave. If they refuse, they shall be shot. (My uncle keeps a rifle and a M11 pistol under the bar in case we are robbed.

    I'd like some proof of this. I've never heard anybody say that gun right trump private property rights. Maybe I'm just not listening.

    That is the claim made by the people in the movement that was carrying rifles into restuants, and stores. They claimed the second amendment right allowed them to, no matter what the owners of the places thought.

    Can't tell if you are a liar, or just uneducated. But in either case, you are mistaken. :)
