You have to wonder why there is no possible way to have a conversation with an anti gunner....well see below, he is speaking the way he/she was taught to think and believes every word of it. Now, any person who owns guns does not talk like that, nor is it the wild wild west and bloody streets and anything else the anti gunners spew...

Congrats...your doing a GREAT job for your anti gun stance....and your anti gun side...lol...

BTW for a person who does not care you have 20% of the posts in this 71 post thread...

So many guns in so many places, with so much unlimited ammo that they don't know what to complain about. Guns on the hips of every kindergartner, all of it. Sure, there'll be collateral damage but when has that bothered them before? Good guy with a gun and all that. Just flood the streets with them, no limits whatsoever. Just go with the assumption that everyone has an assault rifle by the time they can walk.

And don't tell me I'm wrong. After Sandy Hook, the NRA said the best solution was more guns and arming schools so you know I'm right.

If everyone in that theater in Aurora had a gun, they could have just had a big shootout. We need more guns, not less!

Connecticut is rated #6 in strictest gun laws out of all 50 states. I don't know what else we "collectively" could have done to stop that tragedy, unless you are talking about violating the Constitutional rights of Americans.

The blame should be put on that lunatic's mother for allowing him to have access to her firearms.

What should have been done to prevent a Sandy Hook is have a trained adult with access to a firearm in that school. We have armed police in the high school where I teach. Obviously in a small community like Sandy Hook, you wouldn't be able to keep a full time cop on school grounds. A well trained administrator, or teacher would have given them a fighting chance.


Btw, Illinois has the 9th strictest gun laws in the US...

It's collectively dead because you and your ilk cannot back up any of the common sense laws that you speak of....just throw more laws on top of more laws, yea, that'll fix it...more laws...

And why does your ilk keep going back to school shootings? Is it the "Fear factor" narrative you are trying to push?

Of the 10,000 people killed on the streets, why are those shot at schools anymore important than the 1000s shot on the streets of inner big cities....

And before you answer, thee have been mass shootings at colleges also....

All lives matter, right....well only if it fits the fear factor narrative of the agenda you are trying to push...

Yes, take ant-gunners seriously. While some of the "recommendations" may seem silly, unneeded, redundant, nonsensical, counter productive or even downright dumb, the reality is that they are serious about enacting every single one. If one thing should have been learned it's there is absolutely no middle ground or negotiating with gun banners.

I think I'll go and make a Pop Tart into the shape of a gun now.

To protect the children anti gun groups now want to ban the gun emoji from the iPhone.


New Yorkers Against Gun Violence kicked off their “Disarm the iPhone†drive this week with a website, video and press release targeting the popular mobile devices. The group cautions that the emoji, one of hundreds on the product that come preloaded from the factory, reflects the ready access to guns in the country.

“We realized that many Americans unknowingly carry a gun with them every day. The one that was given to them without a background check: the gun emoji,†reads an open letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook.

" Anti Gun Groups can no longer be taken seriously"

"Can no longer" They NEVER were taken serious by MANY!

It's pretty simple. Just google guy stops crime with a gun or, man defends hi self or robber is thwarted....there are thousands of real life video clips of some d-bag being stopped by an armed citizen on YouTube. Don't take my word for it, research it. The real message there is imagine how many crimes would have HAPPENED had they not stopped the idiots perpetrating them.

Plenty are shown being shot and in some cases, killed. What people forget is that it's not the crime they were committing but rather, how manynMORE crimes that one individual would probably have committed if he or she weren't stopped at some point??? Most thugs don't commit just one crime. They commit many until they are stopped?

If not by the police or frankly an armed citizen or shop owner, then by whom? When?

Spend 30 minutes reviewing the footage. Then make your decision. It's a personal choice and it doesn't make one an ordained LEO. I get that. However, it does give one a varying margin of safety, or danger, depending on skills, wits, physical condition and level of training and proficiency each one receives. But, above all, the myth that anyone can stop the proliferation of guns in the hands of private citizens is beyond laughable. Good luck with that to those on the left/gun control side. Like trying to put the genie back in the bottle.

There are over 300,000,000 guns in private circulation that we know about. Juuuuuust slightly less than one per every man, woman, and child in the US. If gun production ceased today entirely, it would take several hundred years for them to disappear. In short, it simply won't happen.

If the anti gun crowd gets legislation passed to prevent the sale and consumption of weapons the,

Black markets will thrive
People will simply ignore it and hide a few
Administration of any change is difficult
Revolvers will become popular again as they do not eject evidence/spent cartridges
Zip guns will become popular
Knife sales will skyrocket
Kuboton sales will increase
Tasers will become cheaper
Shootings will be replaced by bludgeonings and more blunt force trauma
Violent assaults will skyrocket
Crimes will sky rocket

In the end, the crime rise will simply push the laws back next election cycle after any are passed. In short, gun laws are not going to change and if any minor modifications are made they will be ignored or repealed. In short, we gun owners won. So Peolosi, "we won" and that is that.

Try toughening the thug laws. Probably get better results. No one, save the thugs, are against it and they don't tend to vote?

Well I would certainly hope they wouldn't go for their gun over some insults. But if some guy starts dissing me, my girlfriend, or my daughter, I'm going yell back at the jerk. And if it comes to a physical altercation so be it. Maybe I'll kick his ***, maybe he'll kick my ***. But my girlfriend will know that I at least tried to defend her honor.

If I'm not carrying a firearm, I may react in a similar manner. But NEVER, will I escalate such a confrontation whilst I am armed. For one thing, that's the law, for another, I've really no time nor inclination in abiding stupid people. I've no need to prove anything to my lady, either. She knows, in her heart, I would lay down my life to defend her from harm.

Some cretin, trying to get a rise out of me, will flip my defensive perimeter switch. But isn't going to get any reaction from me. They will not realize the danger they have put themselves in, by turning on that defensive mode, and it would be prudent, for them to cease and desist, and let us go on our merry, at which time they can continue to hurl invective, at our backsides.

Try to block our retreat, especially in a hands on manner, and their doing themselves no kindness. When you're carrying a weapon, you're operating at higher, much higher, standards. The law requires that, and even if it didn't, I would still adhere to that standard.

Why mouth off to them? Go to a barrio, start mouthing off - in the same manner - and tell us of that experience.
