Support for more gun control fading

[Pipeline 1010]

But I don't get the double standard. None of the more anti-gun leaning crowd has directly answered me on that, either.

There really aren't different kinds of dead, dead is dead. Why is alcohol celebrated and accepted by so many when it kills far more people every bit as dead as guns? Why are guns so vilified? Is it really just an emotional thing because of the intent?

Because they're scurd. Alcohol is fun, but to someone who has never owned or shot a gun, guns are scury. To a psychopath in government who wants absolute control over people, guns are really super duper scury. In California, they are literally trying to ban a gun part (barrel shroud) who's only purpose is to cool down the barrel of the gun. It will literally make the gun safer to the gun user and anyone else who could get injured if the user accidentally touched the hot barrel and his reflex reaction resulted in firing a shot unintentionally. The assholes trying to ban this part don't even know what it is for. They think it is "that thing that goes on the shoulder". And yet there are people in control who think that they should get to throw people in jail for owning something that they don't even know what it does. These are assholes. No other noun quite aptly describes them. Gun control is NOT about safety. It is NOT about protecting people.

Jesus H Christ, I get so sick and tired of seeing that same crap over and over.

If you want to make progress on preventing gun crimes, take the criminals off the streets and keep them off.

If someone is a multiple violent offender, take them to an island, drop them off, and leave them there forever. Problem solved.

Leave the law abiding gun owners alone.

Or send the gun nuts there and in a few weeks they murder each other, solving all kinds of problems.

I think it depends on which state you live in...

Washington Initiative 594 passed with 59.77 percent of the vote, according to the Washington Secretary of State's official website. The successful ballot measure requires background checks for all gun purchases from both public and private vendors. The state’s current laws require background checks only for sales from licensed vendors, Fox News notes. The Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility spearheaded fundraising efforts that amassed more than $11.2 million in support of Initiative 594.

Meanwhile, Alabama voters soundly passed Amendment 3, a measure which specifies "that every citizen has a fundamental right to bear arms and that any restriction of this right would be subject to strict scrutiny." With nearly all votes counted, the measure prevailed with 72.5 percent in favor, Politico reported.

Gun control is utilizing both hands.

Gun control is utilizing both hands.

And keeping your booger-finger out of the trigger guard until it's time to shoot.

It is not the law abiding gun nuts who are doing drivebys.

I sleep with an AR-15 next to my bed. Funny thing, that rifle has never shot anyone.

I was at a Foster the People concert a few weeks ago. And, they refused to sing "Pumped Up Kicks" because a school shooting occurred earlier that day. Which, I was OK with (not singing Pumped Up Kicks,...). Not thrilled, but, I could understand him not wanting to sing it.

But, then Foster then went into an anti-NRA "speech". I was frankly disgusted - it put a damper on a really excellent show and was totally unnecessary.

Thank you for your post. It is a great example of the ignorant thinking that anti-gun people use. I've walked in society numerous times with a Sig P290 in my pocket. Never killed anyone. I'm going to the range Friday night with my eight year old son, a coworker, and a mutual friend. Going to be a lot of shooting... brass flying everywhere. Love it. If you want, I'll update this thread with a rough count of how many people I see shooting, how many guns, and how many of us die. There will be a good number of guns, ammo, and 'gun nuts' there, so obviously someone's going to die.

Make song about shooting people, then go into anti-nra rant?

Wow, just wow.

Maybe they should practice what the preach??

It kills me when rich and famous celebs, who can in no real way relate to my life or that of average everyday people, tell me how I should feel about an issue.
