I didn't mean it as an insult, more as an ironic comparison on limiting rights as infringement.

WHat constitutes an arsenal though?


If you watch the news, everytime the seize 2 or 3 guns from someone, the media proclaims it an arsenal and someone comments "Why does someone need that many guns?".


If a guy legally collects WW1 or WW2 firearms that have significant historic and monetary value, then would that be an arsenal?

If a guy competes in marksmanship competitions as a hobby, and has 2-3 rifles/handguns set up for each class he competes in, would that be an arsenal?

When in fact it is a "defense" weapon. Most law abiding citizens purchase firearms for defense purposes. I doubt many career criminals procure firearms through the legal channels.
If I paint the black stock of an AR pink and put cute stickers on it does it magically transform into a Hello Kitty weapon rather than assault?


10 round magazines for ARs are known as defense magazines. If I have 3 am I more than defending?

Oh shucks, licensed gun owners can no longer eat bad imitation Mexican food. Somehow I don't think that was Chilis target demographic. Their customer base is more along the lines of fat families with a gaggle of annoying children.

Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for the gun dementia crowd...make love to your rifle. Marry your street sweeper, have carnal relations with your claymores, but just do it at a gun range or go back home and torment your neighbors. Gun are like a colostomy bag, no one wants to see them anywhere....

AGAIN, get over your "anti-gun phobia" christine! You have no clue, about any of this. I eat there a couple times a month, with a concealed weapon and no one is the wiser, and NEVER any problem BECAUSE the manager is ALSO a licensed CCW holder! So try again christine! Chili's is a NON-issue for many of us as is ANY restaurant, plus WE make it a SAFER place to eat!

Guns just put a face to the fact that we are a violent species. These soft hearted liberals like to live in la la land where someone must use a gun to kill them, the reality is that a steak knife is more then sufficient if someone were so inclined. It's people that are dangerous, guns are just a tool. Seeing a gun on someones hip is like a punch to the gut for these people, how dare someone have that kind of potential power? This shouldn't be allowed, this isn't necessary, if it weren't for guns everything would be great.

Good news is almost everyone who carries a gun does so in a concealed manner, so it won't insult your precious illusion of safety and peace.

So gun packers never have fat families and never have annoying children by the gaggleful. How superior of them.

Why, then, did that bunch of Texans feel the deep need to carry rifles into a Chili's in the first place?

Most likely. Since Texas is full of honest to God Mexican food, it couldn't have been the cuisine.
Penis envy is a terrible affliction.
