Only fat people can conceal carry a potent gun. Their fat and cushy seat also lessens the pain of having a gun on their backside.

Then by all means, don't.

As it applies to other free men, mind your own business.

Not true. Skinny people have baggy clothes that conceal a gun much better.

Thankfully NY's gun laws protect innocent people from danger, oh wait.

Pharmacy shooting victim had ominous feeling, sister says - TODAY People - TODAY.com

This is what some people will NEVER understand. Gun laws will never prevent killers from getting guns. N E V E R. Will not happen. Gun laws only prevent law abiding citizens from being able to protect themselves. What murderer ever said, well, I guess I wont go on another muderous rampage because if i do, Ill be breaking this gun law.

I cant tell you how often I stop and have to go back to my car to put up my gun because some ignorant business owner put up a sign that will throw me in jail if I keep my gun in my pocket. Its always the last time I go into that business, Ill tell you that.

By the same token lack of gun laws simply make it easier for the mentally unstable to procure firearms.

Im all for limiting the ablility of crazy people from buying guns. But somehow, by some miracle, the crazy farkers keep getting them.

In that case, Ill continue supporting the rights of all law abiding citizens to carry firearms wherever they want.


Latest news flash, criminals dont care about your laws.

There is not a token lack of gun laws. Some states do not submit their mentally ill records to the federal government for privacy reasons.

Sorry, there should have been a comma between token and lack.

By the same token, a lack of gun laws makes it easier for the mentally unstable to procure firearms.

Actually they do. On texasCHLForum, there's a whole subsection called Never Again dedicated to this issue. Gun safety is on top of every responsible gun owner.

The whole "mentally unstable person thing" is a rarity no matter how you spin it.

The bulk of the issues, which almost everybody conveniently ignores, are daily criminals: robbers, thieves, burglars, rapists, etc.

How many people wackos kill in a year? Not many. How many criminals are killed in a year by law biding citizens? In the thousands. That's on top of the millions of crimes deterred by merely showing the gun to the perps.

Very fair trade in my opinion.
