Science Right-to-carry laws make us less safe

Some day, You may catch on to why I prefer to arm my companions when I want too.

 

I won't ask how you know this...I sure wouldn't but your entire post was a childish insult and is full of shit....but maybe that's how you intend to talk with people...get off your anti British horse cowboy....this is an international community whether you can handle it or not..I know plenty of hunters and war vets who don't agree with gun laws as they stand....you might want to stop leaving them out in the cold because your Soldier of Fortune magazine subscription is feeding your vitriol...people are not as shallow as you seem to need them to be bucko

 

When you consider the fact that you are the only person responsible for protecting yourself and those that depend on you, it is foolish to be unarmed when you need to be.

 

When's the last time being armed saved your life?

 

Just in case you all missed it.

 

If I was stupid enough to go to the concert this happened at I'd sure as fuck want to be armed.

Every moron there has no right to complain or sue...

 

I own guns

Don't want to see them banned but want stricter controls, especially if guns are stored in a house with a minor (Locks should be required) or to carry open or concealed (proficiency training and range time should be required).

 

If you grew up in that neighborhood you may not have a choice

 

....where the hell did I say anything about your politics? Calm down.

There's nothing "common sense" about gun control. Nothing. It is based on emotions, false and misleading advertisements, and uneducated and outright stupid opinions.

No they don't. And they have been debunked hundreds of times before.

"NRA Propaganda"? That is the typical label of someone who has never dealt with the issue of firearms ownership personally. The typical response of someone who bases their opinions about guns and gun owners based on what some nerd on Twitter says about them.

And while we're on the issue of "opinions"...

You should definitely hear what my personal opinions of people like you are. It would get me banned from this site.

But hey....they're just opinions....right?

And yet you seem pretty quick to lump a bunch of gang bangers in with the majority of gun owners in this country. Are you saying that the majority of gun owners are criminals? That is what you meant by "gun toting Americans", right?

Carried illegally. That's the part everyone who's against gun ownership continues to conveniently ignore. As they usually do.

If I need to explain to you the folly of that of your post, and why you cannot take a gang shooting of this nature seriously as a model of the majority of gun ownership in this country....then I'm wasting my time.

Yet it's NOT full of shit. Every single post, he demonstrates a CLEAR and immature bias against anyone who's not an elitist European asshole like him. And I'll call it exactly how I see it. We are ALL sick of him on this forum, and he can fuck right off.

There. How is THAT for being blunt?

You mean someone like you? Someone who was born and raised on a farm, then went into the Military.....yet now hates the majority of those who lived that very same lifestyle? Because I'll tell you: the majority of Vets and hunters in this country are NOT Democrats or Liberals. And those are the very same people you continue to sneer at and scorn time and time again on this forum.

I've never understood that about you, river. It's utterly baffling to me. Not many people who grew up on farms and went into the military later went on to hate Republicans and gun ownership. That's truly baffling to me.

The only thing wrong with the gun laws as they stand is the belief that you can put more laws in place (which only effect the law-abiding) without addressing the very root causes of violence in this country. How fucking stupid do you have to be to fuck that up in this country?

You know who has a history of doing that when it comes to the issues of firearms? DEMOCRATS. Because they operate on emotion and cherry-picked statistics.

There you go.

This. And they DO NOT represent the majority of gun owners int his country. They are NO friend of mine in the fight for legal firearm ownership!

Holy shit. See, THIS is why EVERYTHING you've said is utter bullshit. There are countless instances in this country where being armed saved a person's life. Surely even YOU can admit that. Come on River....show me that you have that much common sense. That's not an insult; I genuinely want to know if you can just admit that yes, there are times where having a firearm is actually a SMART thing.

I pers0nally know a man who used a firearm during a road rage incident many years ago. He survived (the other guy didn't), and went on to have a good family (his son went into the Navy....ahem....), and he himself went on to be a doctor. He also owns more guns than I can ever hope to have.

Guns have absolutely saved countless lives in this country. Only a fool denies this. Hell, I'm quite sure even that dictator Michael Bloomberg can admit this.

 

Hard to say.

 

We've all heard this many times......you are a name caller....nobody gets banned from OT for insults and you know that

 

LMAO, really? Going to a concert where you KNOW there will be trouble brewing, and choosing an immature and dangerous lifestyle with firearms is absolutely a choice.

 

Make it easier....in civilian life has being armed protected you or your dependents on a daily basis.....? Even occasionally?

 

I don't name call; I imply it. Just like you and everybody else does on this forum. Get over yourself.

So because it might not happen to him, it will never happen to anyone? Give me a break.

 

I've heard enough Jade....sorry dude....good luck with all that maturity

 

Might work out better if they cleaned up the police dept there

 

By all means, if you want to discuss this topic then you come on back. But I won't stand for implied insults and bullshit theories.

Holy shit, something we agree on!
