If they are on the straight and narrow they should be packin'.

It's just the "others" that should be unarmed.

If you make a car with no seatbelt, no brakes, that has no catylitic converter or muffler, no windshield or wipers, no blinkers, and has concrete tires, the government regulations will stop you from selling said car. And yet we are not in an Orwellian Dystopia. Or are we?

Nobody jumps off the Bay Bridge because the Golden Gate Bridge is so much cooler. Just like everybody uses an AR-15 assault style weapon, because who wants to look like a dick when you're shooting First Graders in the head?

CLEARLY he was not a responsible gun owner, as he was standing on the other side of a wall separating him from where other gun owners were shooting. If he'd been responsible, he wouldn't have been standing in the path of that bullet! HARRUMPH!!!

I don't think I'll ever stop worrying about him. It's not like the knuckle-dragging shitheads are going to forget about him, you know.

Every time I hear that bullshit about the 2nd being there so "you can rise up against tyranny", I want to slap somebody. I've heard relatively smart people repeating that nonsense, even.

That originalism stuff is just crap as well, translating to "it means what I say it means".

Senate voted down the gun safety measures the Democrats proposed. Anyone surprised?

We stopped gun manufacturers from selling fully automatic weapons "machine guns" when that became a problem, we can do the same with assault guns now that it's a problem.

No. But now it's campaign ad material.
