If you saw me walking down the street, you wouldn't give me a second glance. Why should you? I carry my gun concealed. But if my gun were on the outside of my waistband, instead of on the inside, I'm suddenly a menace to society?

Y'all need to get a grip, and work to address your phobias. While you're doing that, leave those of us that are actually mentally and emotionally stable alone.
Probably as when people don't see you wearing a gun, they assume by default that you don't have one.

Yes, so as long as people keep their alternative lifestyle out of public view, we are pretty much fine with it.

I mean if you see this guy walking on the street. You should treat him as you would any other. After all, he has the constitutional right to carry that weapon in public. This dicrimination has gone too far. They want and deserve their alternative lifestyle to be respected.

The assault weapons ban sunsetted a few years back.

And it did nothing to stop the sale of AK type rifles anyway.

It did make gun fearing idiots FEEL better however.

A heavily armed paramilitary swat team goon carrying a machine gun is a much more scary image than that one. Guns are here to stay so buy some and have fun shooting target practice and or hunting instead of being scared of them.

I have guns. I am Marine Corp trained sniper and certainly not scared of them, but there is a time and place for guns, and walking around town with an M-16 would certainly cause some people a little concern, as it should. Anyone who needs to constantly carry a weapon in plain view has mental problems.

Where the hell have you been? The "Assault Weapons" ban, expired in 2004.

And it wasn't an outright ban, just on ridiculous cosmetic features like pistol grips. The manufacturers found a way around it.

The Corp sure has you brainwashed, don't they?

This is common place in Israel. I saw 20 year old females in Civilian clothing walking around with M4's and Galil's. Nobody thinks anything of it.

If the retards in this country would stop being so afraid of an inanimate object, maybe we could start doing that.
