No offense, well I guess there's some offense involved, but there are many societies that thrive and/or are on the verge of thriving with their ever so strict gun laws or zero tolerance gun laws for the general public. i.e. UK, Hong Kong, Australia just to name a few..

I wonder what kind of debates go on in those countries regarding such restrictions that more so mirror our ongoing debates on the subject but from the opposite end of the stick....

That's it for my rant, carry on.

Why? Do you want the police to be able to pull over anyone on the road and harass them just because they're driving a vehicle on a crowded public road?

You only think you don't need a gun until someone is trying to kill you.

My wife used to answer emails for the Georgia Aquarium, and she used to get all sorts of very, very heated emails saying how unsafe said person felt since they weren't allowed to carry in the aquarium. I cannot imagine have my life ruled by a firearm.
And I can not imagine any place being so naive as to think they have 100% air-tight security, especially a private venue, and especially when there's the walk from the car, or from transit to consider.

An M-16 today is just as deadly as a Thompson back then. An F-4U Corsair screaming in at 300mph is not significantly less deadly to a group of people than an F-22 blasting in at Mach 2. There was still a theoretical overwhelming discrepancy in force. Plus look at the insurgent situation in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It enforces the protections of the 4th amendment against unreasonable detainment.

That pd the officer just breesing by him was funny
You have to be right every single time for your point to hold. You only have to be wrong once. All that needs to happen is something like the fictitious scenario depicted in CoD:MW2's "No Russian" mission to become non-fictitious, even once, and a massive ****storm would ensue.

The APD played this remarkably cool. They let him abide by state law while ensuring that nothing got out of hand without warning.

Taking my government away by force and replacing it by God-only-knows what kind of replacement? That doesn't sound like "liberty"; that sounds like treason against the United States of America. No wonder they call your type, GUN NUTS.

That deeply, deeply bothers me. The gun nuts don't like that policy? And they wanna boycott the GA Aquarium? Fine, that's their freedom of choice. But their acting like that is classless and reveals a thing or two about their character.

FWIW, I think that most local police jurisdictions are grossly unaware about the epidemic of online threats, and they almost never take them seriously enough.

The antis!?!

Are we creating terms about groups of people now? Is that what these conversations come to?


I'm sorry Matt there is a line somewhere in the mix. There is the ability and right to have a firearm, the legitimate debate over the lawful regulation of firearms, and then there is someone who is troubled living amongst many people in an advanced society.

If you can't go to a public gathering that has security and nearby police in an advanced society and feel so uncomfortable/unsafe because you can't carry a firearm amongst the crowd, then that person has some serious issues and should seek therapy. That isn't a gun control debate, that is a personal issue. Not to mention many feel much safer when every person in the place does not have a gun.

In the Far-Right land of complete and uninhibited gun privileges, there exist exactly two sides to the debate: No private citizen can own any gun, or all private citizens can own every gun. They deliberately choose to ignore those of us who lie somewhere between those bizarre extremes.

Wow. Just wow. Most if not all constitutional rights are subject to sensical regulations. A nuke is an arm. Why can't the whack jobs have those?
