Keep it hidden until needed no need to show it off.

Now if this was rural area? Carry over your shoulder. Who cares

PS i would bet my life savings this gentleman knows zero about 2A rights and was not on his way to the range. Just a hunch

Maybe a good hunch. If you're lucky enough to cross the gentleman's path, you could drill him on 2A rights.

Carrying a long gun is a nice conversation starter.

All would be grand if rappers changed their lyrics into something better. About sexual healing like Barry White/Marvin Gaye (provided a verse about contraception is added to it :-), or science fiction and fantasy worlds like Jimi Hendrix. Just not glorifying violence and flashy stupidity.

Can we get law breakers to obey laws by making more of them?
Can we get alcoholics to cut back by providing more beer?

Lol typical sheep.

They also beat the living daylights out of their prisoners. Bleeding hearts would have none of that here.

Criminals in Singapore get "caned" if that is determined legally to be their punishment. But it is one-time event, they do not beat prisoners otherwise. They actually have vey few prisoners - they mostly either cane & release them, or execute them. Of course caning will not be used in the US, but it surely works as a crime deterrent in Singapore. Nothing wrong with living safely in an orderly society (what you bizarrely call "sheep", but is much more accurately called freedom from dumb danger). But go ahead, by all means, do get killed at an early age, or become paraplegic for the rest of a pathetic life from a bullet through the spinal cord, if you consider that much more cool!


Have you been to Singapore (or in fact any place other than NYC)? It is equally or more thrilling and cosmopolitan than NYC, but totally absolutely completely safe, at any hour of day or night. I would live there in a heartbeat if it weren't for complications of moving overseas in my 60s, and restrictions on immigration.

It seems so idealistic, however we would never punish people like they do in singapore. Crime does pay here. A police state is a dangerous place to live for free thinkers in my opinion.
Guns wouldnt be on our streets if other states would make gun transfers more documented. There was a time in Va. that private second hand sales were undocumented. Not sure if that is still the case. Va. was a funnel state for firearms on the streets of NY. Loopholes.

Glad to see this man following the strict Gun Laws in NY. You know what we need? STRICTER LAWS!

Then maybe he will start following them. Yep that's the answer.
Ask yourself that same question but think of yourself as the criminal, and then maybe you will get your answer.

Most people commit crimes ALL THE TIME and don't even realize or do it and just don't get caught. The US is number 1 among developed nations when it comes to incarceration. LOL.

So would you say that the key to a peaceful society is a huge police force and corporal punishment?
