Is the current gun safety training course you have to go through to get your concealed carry permit really so excessive?
I realize you may not need it, but I think the people of the state of Texas take some degree of comfort knowing that people carrying conceal weapons in accordance with the law are not completely unfamiliar with gun safety.
A concealed carry permit is not very difficult to get in the state of Texas. I like that we have this small amount of mandatory safety training for people carrying these weapons.
How about we implement a test for voting rights also, would that be ok? How about anyone wishing to speak freely on a forum or blog take a test first? How about mandatory background checks,fees and licensing for anyone in the media, would that be ok with you?
Why is it only the second amendment that faces these ridiculous test, fees, licence's?
Far, far more deaths are caused by rabble rousers throughout history, Hitler, Lenin, mao, etc. even before guns existed.
Just look at the radio broadcast during the Rawanda genocide, many historians link these broadcast to hundreds of thousands of murders.
The 1st amendment is far more dangerous than the second.
Take comfort, the latest CO shooter will be assured of casting a vote in the next election. Bernie told us he would even support the boston bomber to cast a vote. It is Sanders and company now running the country using biden as a front man and harris as a screen saver.
If Usurper Joe REALLY wanted to curb gun violence, he'd ban left wing DA's, Mayors and Governors and anyone who accepted money from George Soros to campaign.
The thing Joe, is this. You're a senile old dumbass and you've never made a sound decision in your life. On top of that , you're not even POTUS and everyone knows it. So kindly take your EO's and shove them up your ass.
Joe Blow praised the "Red Flag" law in Delaware that is named after his dead son Beau, but his crackhead son owns a gun even though he was dishonorably discharged from the military.
Joe Blow says that "Red Flag" laws will prevent people from using guns to commit suicide, but at the same time says women should have the right to murder their own children by aborting them calling it "choice". Isn't committing suicide a "choice"???

It's also a little ironic that it tends to be progressives who support euthanasia/assisted suicide.

Democrats also claim "my body my choice" but then say "get a vaccine or die."
The founders were very smart when they came to the conclusion, only property owners could vote.

People with skin in the game, getting told what to do by people that have no skin in the game under the threat of violence, is straight up coercion, bordering on extortion.

The debate over gun control can be summed up thusly: Those of us who don't like guns in the hands of our non-costumed brethren, will vote to ensure men with guns, under the guise of the "law," will come and take the property that is rightfully yours, killing you should you resist our will sufficiently.
This is what we call "violence by-proxy" and makes the voter for violence no less culpable in the extortion and death that will ensue.
As Stefan Molyneux correctly observed; if a person claims they are non-violent and are for “gun control” they are not truly anti-gun nor are they non-violent people - because the reality is that guns and violence will be needed to disarm innocent law abiding people.
This is because those people who claim they are anti-gun and anti-violence, who claim to support “gun control,” will need the credible threat of police violence and the police’s guns to take away other people’s guns should they resist the attempt to further centralize their monopoly on violence.
So those who claim to be anti-gun and anti-violence are really very pro-gun and very pro-violence. They ultimately believe that only government officials (which are of course portrayed as reliable, honest, moral, and virtuous) should be allowed to have guns. This obviously flies in the face of reality as the 20th century has proven once and for all.
It’s important to note that those who advocate this type of centralized monopoly of violence do so as cowards, because it’s not their lives on the line, rather they advocate others using violence on their behalf in order to force their misguided views on innocent people who wish to do nothing other than protect themselves and other innocents.
There is no such thing as "gun control," there is only centralizing gun ownership in the hands of a small, political class and the forces they control which, as recent history has proven is a murderous nightmare for the peace loving, disenfranchised, and disarmed citizenry.--Ron Danielowski
This is a little confrontational, but it's absolutely correct. It *IS* time to pick a side. Either you support gun rights, or you don't. We need to break out of the clique mindset. It's fostered by the anti-gun people to divide us.
You don't have to agree that ARs are particularly useful, or that anyone needs a 30 round magazine, but those are small details in the overall scheme of things. Support gun rights, if you support gun rights.
