      Anyone into Guns?

      I have been an avid shooter of military rifles, and have a small collection. Also, the Supreme Court just decided on the Heller vs DC case, verifying the 2nd Amendment is an individual right and Washington DC hand gun ban is unconstitutional. This will open up the door for other nonsense laws that have done nothing to prevent crime, just prevent law-abiding citizens from thier 2nd amendment rights.

      This is among the hottest of hot-button issues. It is emotionally charged and most arguments from either side are shall we say....less than objective.

      The topic in no way shape or form impacts hot-rodding, therefore it will be given far less leeway than a thread about say....gas prices and the various political impacts upon them.

      Keep it apolitical or this one will close faster than a cathouse next to a convent.

      It is a great decision that should have been settled a long time ago.

      I'll refrain from more since we were asked to keep it "apolitical". But wouldn't the convent close faster than the cathouse?

      How can comprehending two clearly written sentences be anything other than objective?

      Peoples opinions on the matter are less than objective. The text in question is abundantly clear.

      Not here to open any political can of worms, just wanted to post about my toys and one of the most important, and controversial SCOTUS rulings in the past 50 years.

      My collection has shrunk due to financial matters, but will grow again real soon. At the moment I have a Ruger P89, M91/30, SKS, a AK-103 copy, and my favorite NDM-86 (a Chinese copy of the Soviet SVD "Dragunov" sniper rifle), it will shoot 3/4" groups at 100m.
      Had to get rid of an under-folding AK, RPK, CAR-15, and a RPD (Soviet belt-fed rifle in 7.62x39).

      I am an avid shooter (do not hunt). I shoot an AR-10 (.338), various AR versions in .223 and love my H&K USP .45. I own around 15 long guns and 10 handguns and love them all. I use the HK and a nasty short barrel M4 for home protection. I also possess a CC permit from FL where I own a condo. I can CC in all the surrounding states but the one I currently live. MD is way to liberal and corrupt to ever allow CC in the state.

      Without getting political - I am not a fan of the NRA and think the SCOTUS did NOT get it right. But that's ok....

      IMO - gun ownership is a priviledge and not a right but according to nine hopefully intelligent people I am wrong. Again, no big deal.

      I am not a gun owner or interested in shooting, but the right to bear arms is indeed a right that is part of the US Constitution. I am all about upholding the constitution. It's been ignored just a bit too much for my taste in the last few years. Any law abiding citizen who wants to own a gun should be able to without too much hassle.

      I love my guns, I have a S&W 9mm, M-4, AK-47, Remmington 870, and a Winchester 30/30 lever action. As Dropit69 said, I have my guns, and I always will.

      You couldn't be more spot on. The Kelo decision pops to mind in that vein.
