Well, I sure hope YOU don’t own a gun. At least, if that is what passes for reasoned discourxe in your neck of the woods.

Fuck yes! Accountablity! That is something that is lost - more so than “Gun Control” because - blame the other guy/object, that is the American way!

I am pushing for gun education sir. Just like you need a license to get a car, you should have to get one to get a gun. Classic USA, well that is where I live asshat and yeah - I am okay with that. What about crossbows and bows and anything else used to hunt?
Slightest off? Not really. Not at all

And example of “unreasonable” gun restrictions would be those of Illinois and DC before the court decisions. And any subsequent ones that a plaintiff could successfully claim that stand in the way of his exercise of the right in a manner that doesn’t meet intermediate or strict scrutiny.

With all respect, I have repeatedly been called “paranoid” for carrying, yet you are driven by fear of events that are extraordinarily rare, far far less likely to happen than me needing my gun in random street crime. I also have kids. My oldest was in school while I watched Newtown unfold and literally had to stop…

I’m a gun rights advocate and I agree there is zero rationale for carrying an AR-15 in Walmart. That said, you know WHY they carry them into Wal-Mart? Because rabid anti-gun activists like ‘Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense’ and Bloomberg’s ‘Everytown for Gun Safety’ keep trying to smear and denigrate *lawful* gun…

Thuthfully, I’m glad you don’t own a gun, Beard - you seem to have anger issues.

Uh, here’s how: offer incentives for citizens willing to turn in their firearms.

If someone decides to carry an ar-15 into wal-mart, it would be very easy for someone to call 911 and have the bozo arrested.

Yes, gun ownership we have today is a constitutional right. Heller decided that and McDonald incorporated it as applying to the states.

This. Right here. Getting to the root cause will save us a great deal of tragedy. We shouldn’t stigmatize mental health, we should increase treatment for those in need and maintain the policies in place to make it at least inconvenient to acquire a firearm.

I carry one of these “disgusting machines” because there are criminals who will and have harmed me and my family. The firearm offers me the best advantage when I want to preserve my life and the lives of my family. What I don’Nott understand is why there are people - who I have never met and never wronged- that want…

Yeah, and that made sense in 1789, when the strongest a military could be is an army of a few thousand men, unarmored, firing slow-loading muskets that had terrible aim. There were no automatic weapons, or planes, or bombs, or rockets, or grenades, or tanks, or night-vision goggles, or nuclear weapons. It also made…

Yeah, and how is our battle going with people that literally dwell in caves to escape our technology? Huh? What? I CAN’T HEAR YOU!

Typical liberal keyboard warrior rhetoric, what do this guy, batman theater guy, and every other shooter - hell - every other KILLER (lets just broaden this scope of conversation) - like nurse mom who dismembered her fucking son, have in common?
THEY ARE MENTALLY ILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No amount of background checking…

Weird, I own guns and have never had the inspiration to kill anything, people or animals. They aren’t for protection. They are for shooting clay discs as quickly as possible. OR shooting targets from close or long ranges (depending on which of my guns we are talking about).

As a veteran of Iraq, I witnesses first hand how a small group of urban guerillas armed only with AK-47s, RPGs, and bombs made from supplies you could buy at a local hardware store can cause difficulties for the most technologically advanced military in the world.

Similar lesson was learned in Vietnam. So, this idea…

You sound like an individual with whom rational, measured discourse would be impossible.

this sounds like you’ve never been around, fired, or understood guns. maybe take some time to learn both sides of the story before you make brash statements.

for instance, i’ve spent time in gun-less cultures (Denmark, France) and I live in a gun proliferated culture, I carry one every single day, rain or shine.

once…

I don’t know what everyone else thinks, but the people who wrote the Constitution and Bill of Rights are smarter than 99.9999999999999% of the people who have ever lived.
