Default New Member Introduction

Hello, I have been looking around this site and it seems all the new members are supposed to introduce themselves. My real name is Steve Bell and I live in Livermore Falls, Maine. I am 17 years old and am a gun collector, hunter, and recreational shooter. I am planning on training to be a police Oficer.
I have a small gun collection which is a Hi Point 9mm carbine, Hi Point C9 9mm, Heritage Arms Single Action .17hmr, 1851 .44 cal navy, Savadge Mark 2 .22 Varminter, 12 Gauge JC higgens Pump, Yugo Sks, Mosin Nagant, Kalashnikov 47, and a few other small arms. I also have a small knife collection.

Maybe you will get an education while you are here, you need it before becoming an officer for sure.

I say this only after reading your other post on the 50 cal ban. Having the police that are filled with those who don't our very own constitutional rights scare the hell out of me.

Not guys, just me.

My point being, that even if you could see there point and then ask Why should a law abiding.... shows me that you are not FULLY eduacted on WHY the second amendment is there in the first place.

I'm sure that there are people that are more educated here than I, but that list and that site are filled with a lot of the documents that our founding fathers used, and wrote.

So am I busting on you? Yes
Do I want not only you, but everyone to see why we have the second amendment? Yes
Will I continue to bust on you? I doubt it

So welcome to this great place, I hope you come back often.
