How many here, are firearms owners?

[Cap]

The reason I ask, is that I feel we can do a better job on the gun forums in promoting Dr. Paul and his ideas. Each forum usually has a political section reserved for such discussions. Most gun owners on the forums, are hard case Constitutionalists and freedom loving people. Most are Ron Paul people without even knowing it. It is up to us to make them know it.

[Chrispy]

A good resource to finding gun popular firearm forums is by using stumbleupon and searching through the gun pages.

[rpliving]

I post on gunsnet.net all the time half are already for Ron Paul the other half are neo-cons

[Kregener]

I have had great success at one, failed miserably on several others.

Gun owners who support the NRA do not fully grasp the concept of true liberty and freedom, and they voted en masse for GeeDubYa...TWICE.

Agreed, however they absolutely usually place their voting preference around the 2nd Ammendment. Most, I have found are Fred supporters. Here is an interesting page giving Fred's record concerning the 2nd Ammendment, IT's actually pretty dismal. If we can take the issue away from Fred, we stand to pick up support.

Yeah, all sorts of people from all walks of life own guns. Those who go on the internet to talk about the guns they own are the kind of hard core 'don't tread on me types' that will likely embrace Ron Paul.

Any interest in creating a gun forum here?

[noxagol]

I own a russain mosin-nagant 91/30 and a remington nylon 66, and am looking at getting a .308 bolt action soon.

as far as a gun forum, hells yes!

[American]

I think a 2nd amendment sub forum would be great

[SWATH]

Yes you would think that fellow gun owners would embrace Paul, but most it seems have embraced Fred, and when confronted with Fred's dismal gun control record they call it bull$#@! propagated by the liberal lefty alarmist group the GOA. I really don't get it. BTW, I've got more stuff than I can count.

got a 410 shotgun and a 30 cal carbine. I'm 47y/o and hadum since I was 12 or 13

Here is my HDR (Homeland Defense Rifle):



Here is my 14-year-old son's:



This ain't all, but you get the idea...

Sadly I am disarmed. It was the anti-2nd amendment laws that caused me to start learning, and led me to Ron Paul.
I was posting on a gun forum until they closed the political discussion.
I would like to own them again. Getting Ron Paul elected is the only hope of restoring the 2nd amendment.

[tmg19103]

I posted Fred's lame voting record for the 2A on a gun forum and was banned for life.

Makes me ashamed to be a gun owner. I had thought gun owners tended to be more educated than the average voter because many take their individual rights seriously. The fact that so many gun owners support Fred amazes me because the guy is just an empty suit. Not that you have much choice if you are a gun owner and pro-war (as many are), but I would have more respect if pro-war gun owners were for MCCain as opposed to Fred.

A gun forum here would be great!

[K1RBY]

i am a gun owner, but i am not knowledgeable about them, or about RP's voting record regarding them...

but i do this this is an important issue to be out there pushing...

[steph3n]

I have a gun for very finger and a couple toes too

[alien]

I post on gunsnet.net all the time half are already for Ron Paul the other half are neo-cons

How can a gun owner be a neocon knowing they are going to lose there guns unless they do something about it? Unless they are part of the machine.

[Joey Wahoo]

I think its a pretty safe bet that most Ron Paul supporters exercise the right protected by the Second Amendment.

I've often wondered if RP might not be the only candidate who is personally armed while campaigning.

[jgmaynard]

My gf/fiance/partner got me a .22 revolver for Valentine's Day this year - pretty cool, huh?

Are the Michigan gun laws what disarmed you, PCO?

[alien]

Ron Paul is packing?

[Silverback]

Ron Paul is packing?

Probably, I would be.

I think Huckabee has a CCW too...

[Original_Intent]

My weapons in order of preference: (as in, if I had to use them)

.22 semi auto rifle
9mm Ruger pistol
30/30 lever action rifle
.38 pistol (my wife's. no jokes about her gun being bigger than mine!)

45 lb. recurve bow and arrows
Many many shuriken - throwing stars (I have won several competitions with these. I am very good with them but prefer the others for both range and stopping power. Throwing stars are mostly distraction)
A couple of blow guns (again mostly for distraction)

Several Bo staffs
Two sets of Sai
Two pair of Tonfa
A pair of functional katanas, various belt knives and other "dagger" type knives.

Knees, elbows, fists, feet. I am too old but I imagine I still remember enough I could do some damage. My wife has ten years of training also.

Makes no sense to me either

[Kacela]

My wife owns an Heckler & Koch P2000SK .40S&W. We both have CCW (concealed carry) permits here in Connecticut.

[Joey Wahoo]

Huckabee is the only other candidate who sincerely and genuinely supports the second amendment rights of citizens. Of course he is a neocon interventionist, so entirely unacceptable for that reason.

I love a quote I heard recently: "The Second Amendment is my concealed weapons permit."

JM

Yes and no.
First,some stupidity in my youth. I paid for that, served my time, have lived honestly since and had received a restoration of rights.
Michigan does not recognize the restoration. The Brady laws prevent me from having my record corrected. If I had $100K to spend I could buy my rights back.
To say I am a little unhappy about it would be an understatement..

Ron Paul supporters are outnumbered on the gun forum on which I post. Most of them are for Fred and all about fighting them there AND here. Some have said they would vote for RP if he's on the ballot, but won't actively support him. Almost a lost cause. You can type 'til you're blue in the face.

You'll excuse me if I don't publicly list my firearms for the whole world to see.

[ronpaulhawaii]

The only gun I own at the moment is my great grandads Winchester. I think guns are necessry tools and was a sharpshooter in school. I'd rather plink cans than hunt rabbits, but that's just me. Sure wish there were more hunters though to keep the deer from starving in the NE winter
