Exactly. I don't hate guns, I hate the idea of Maximum Guns. People who defend the gun rights of lunatics who are known to be violent, who run into schools and start blasting away, who stockpile weapons because of nutty conspiracies, who point at them at federal workers to "defend" some nut who won't pay his taxes, and insists that he doesn't recognize our government while flying American flags, who fire on black kids because they're listening to loud music, who fire at other gang members, or perceived Gang members like Hadiyah Pendleton, and who run around shooting at people because they're cops or relatives of cops...and for that matter, of wild, over aggressive cops.
Responsible gun owners, most of us are fine with. But groups like the NRA push for irresponsible, violent gun ownership, which is not. I'm fine with most people have them for protection (not that smart, but okay), or for hunting (around here, many of the hunters donate the meat to food shelters, which is great), but I also think it's perfectly reasonable to discuss gun safety as a health concern, and that is a single gun store is a major source of illegal firearms being used for murder, then that should be investigated.
We don't defend them, we defend our rights, and protect them from knee jerk reaction to these rare events..
Maybe if Gun Free Zone were not Gun Free Zones maybe you would not have a free fire zone for these freaks..
"Maximum Guns"....Are you kidding me? It is maximum freedom.
You view of "responsible gun owners" are just gun owners who are willing to give up their rights and smile for the privilege, we are not compromising our rights any more..
How is the NRA pushing irresponsible, violent gun ownership? They promote safety and responsible gun owner at every turn.
You telling me a thug culture amplified by a entitlement culture, poverty and illegal immigration and moral relativism does not play a part in violent crime in America?
Gun Stored are not a major source for illegal firearms, that is the black market, which will never be shut down..
You don't want to own a post May 19th 1986 Machine Gun, fine
You don't want to own a AR15 with a stranded magazine size, fine
You don't want to own a sound suppressor, fine
You don't want to own fill in the blank, fine
Dont buy or own it, dont force your warpped, emtionalistic views on me..
Why do you think the Left hates guns? After all, the World's most commonly produced Assault Rifle the AK-47 was conceived and built in the Soviet Union. Do you really think the late Mikhail Kalashnikov was not a member in good standing in the Communnist Party of the Soviet Union? Comrade Lenin once said "Power flows out of the Barrel of a Gun". Leftists actually like guns just as long as they are pointed at the right targets. Kapeesh ?
Well, the author of this article was spot on until he went off the rails and endorsed the "Judeo-Christian heritage" of America and made it about religion.
He also denounced "secular" leftists.
I'm an atheist who lives a secular life, I'm also a big proponent of the Second Amendment. I guess my support of gun rights isn't wanted because I don't kneel at the foot of my bed and worship an invisible deity.

WTH is a secular leftist?
Never mind, it's just another lame-assed RW buzzword.

It was Mao who said "power speaks out the barrel of a gun". Not Lenin, though the philosophy is interchangeable. Truthfully, this rabid anti 2a stance is as generally associated with the left as religious fundamentalism is with the right. Neither are accurate and are far to general. Even folks in the middle are slammed into one side or the other, depending on party affiliation. Very divisive stuff.
Biden said to get a shotgun and shoot it in the air to scare thieves.....Oops! be charged with assault if you follow Biden's advice. Not a peep from the media to admonish Biden. Good way to lock up citizens who actually believe what their VP says. tha'll get guns out of the hands of private citizens... maybe they do hate guns?????
You are either joking or you have fallen for the big liberal revisionist lie.
George Washington, our first President, did not believe in Jesus Christ.
He believed in God, the creator, but not a myth of a fatherless baby.
He was a deist.
There were several Quakers and a few Tory's(Muslim)
Even a Black Founder signed the Declaration of Independence.
I'm a "lefty" and I don't hate guns. I just don't fondle them.
Neither do I. I do clean them, by nessesity, handle them and of course, shoot them.
