    How about $100 billion? And a cheeseburger.

    Wait, I thought the position was that guns are made to shoot animals, and targets, and only when absolutely necessary, people. Did I hear that wrong?

    I thought it was that guns were needed so that we can kill any members of the US military that we consider traitors.

    Ha! Yes, some guns are only really good for specific uses.

    That is literally some people's position on the 2nd amendment.

    Why? What more is there to prove? What more information would you need, or would there never be enough?

    You forgot to mention the pre-civil war part in your original post. Without that fact it wouldn't be true.

    Did California even have Safeway's prior to the civil war?

    Sorry I don't care. Other countries don't have this problem and it's because they have strict gun laws. I'm all for strict gun laws and I'm done caring about how others feel about it.

    That's is very sound advise for anyone. I was the co-owner and FFL licensee for a business that did close to 50% of it's transactions related to the sale of firearms for about 10 years. The vast majority of retail sellers will gladly run a NICS check for a small fee to cover time on the phone and paperwork. My fee was $25.00. Part of the business was purchasing and selling pre-owned firearms. Every single purchase I made from a private citizen, even close friends and family, was not completed without a NICS call to obtain a clear status for the unit in question. Through the years there were several times I had to put a hold on the firearm until State Police could come for retrieval.

    Other countries don't have a lot of the problems we have. Gun laws aren't the main, driving difference. You're a smart guy, you should recognize that. But as I can see you're closed off to the idea I'll stop wasting my time.

    Safeway in SoCal is Vons, but even that started in 1906.

    Cars serve a vital need nearly every time we use them. Guns don't.

    Mainly for hunting but for some people such as jewelry dealers and those make deposits of cash from the day's receipts, for protection.

    Also, guns come in handy when you've got a beef with a guy and you're driving by his house.
