Originally posted by Don Pichardo View PostOf course there is. The difference is substantial. Military don’t take the assault or any type of firearm home. In fact they only have access to the firearms when in actual war, training or their specific job requires them to have them(military police). Aside from that soldiers doing their day to day job dont walk around with m-16s or 9mms.

In my opinion, the way booze is sold and advertised is bad example and if you are gonna have any kind of prohibition, do it different. Not really sure how that is, but many countries where kids drink a bit from a young age dont have these issues.
And pot is a whole different ball game that our governments are making worseLast edited by maracho; 03-10-2018, 12:10 PM.

Lol you might feel safer knowing your nice neighbors are unarmed but bliss aint always best.
On the other hand, our founding fathers knew from experience that common folk needed to be equally armed not due to common criminals but rather the government.Last edited by maracho; 03-10-2018, 11:58 AM.

Anyway I agree that ads unduly influence. These companies spend millions on psychologists to figure out how to best get yiu to buy.
Like you I’m not sure how best to regulate. But I’m certain regulation is important.
