Oh yeah, I get it. Hell, you were the one who posted the text of some burglary law about 28 times. And yet … "We don't need no stinkin' gun laws. Criminals don't obey the law!"
Yeah, it if wasn't so stupid, it would be hilarious.
Oh right … you have no special responsibility to keep your toys out of the hands of children, felons and the mentally ill. There's nothing special about machines that can kill from great distances and instantly! Yeah!
So much for the "gun owners are sooooo responsible" meme. We knew you didn't really mean it.
Your mental, me thinks. I didn't say anything llike you said above. Is it smart to take "extra' precaution to prevent kids and criminals from getting access to firearms? YEEEEEESSSS. It's a smart move. Should it be required, no. Putting a gun in my vehicle or my house/garage is the only standard I should be held to. It is secure, and anything else is just extra.
You all completely missed the point. YOU are the hypocrites. "Wahhhhh, it's the burglar's fault that the gun was stolen because he should have obeyed the LAWS against burglary!"
Really. Dozens and dozens of posts. When I asked how you could expect burglars to obey the laws, I was shouted down …
No big surprise, though. Gun nuts' principles are whatever you feel like on a given day.

I don't get it. Why is it the fault of the homeowner when a criminal goes into a home and steals something?
So it's ok to steal from a home that has an unlocked door but not a home that has a locked door?

You pretend to be a moderate conservative. It's clear that you are a flaming liberal with a single item or two that you can relate to conservatives with.

I can't believe the stupidity of people not understanding that when my door to my property is closed, it is not an invitation for someone to walk in.

But criminals don't obey laws, so gun control laws are useless?
If it was against the law to steal things this wouldn't of happened!
