The FAST Approaching Gun Ban

[notdrunk]

I would tend to agree that openly carrying rifles and pistols into most public places is not the best way to go about things. On the other hand, if people are really so frightened of the open display of a weapon then states should ease the restrictions they have on obtaining concealed carry permits.

I believe much of this goes back to the mid-1800s when states began to forbid concealed carry and left only the option for openly carried firearms.

I believe the main goal of OCT is to get the legalization of open carry pistols in Texas. As well, there was an incident in which an individual was arrested for open carrying a rifle that led to unnecessary drama between the police and the individual. So, there is an educational aspect to their protesting too.

I would be shock if Texas restricted instead of loosen their gun laws.

It would be great pleasure if they DID restrict weapons but not much chance.

When it come to the law challenging those who openly carry the law must take precedence. Why would some sick gun obsessed morons feel carrying deadly weapons around was nececessary.

Indeed -but in what context?

Being from the other side of the pond, I have some difficulty with the abbreviations - OCT, for example.

So it's about being able to carry openly in public your complete range of assault rifles, automatic weapons, etc. It seems to me that most of the nerds who demand their rights to do this are attempting to make up for other shortcomings in their personality and the relative size of some of their body parts (big bellies, small cocks).

Here's thought. Let them openly show off their weapons but make them expose their tiny cocks in public as well. We might well have a laugh while feeling threatened.

Except for those whose job requires it (e.g. military, police etc.) every single man who carries in public (openly or furtively) knows himself to be deeply unsatisfied and personally deficient. Many will deny it vociferously, but they are the one's most inextricably caught up in their own inadequacies and most feel the need to express in public that it is not so. If their collective attitude wasn't such a hazard to public health, I'd feel sorry for them.

Man (using the word loosely)...is rejected by woman, then goes on a Second Amendment rampage to compensate for his inadequacies. Her fault, right? Couldn't be that the gun culture in this nation has gone totally bonkers.

Of course nothing will happen here. Not when 20 second graders are murdered by a crazed gunman along with 6 adults and Congress is so obsessed with their obstructionist agenda they refuse to pass one single jot of firearm regulation. They call this a Christian nation. Yeah, right. Suffer the little children.

It's Politically Correct to blame the toothless old redneck for the Nation's gun woes, but don't forget about the teen gangstas in the hood that account for half of the fatalities, including kids playing, and even people sleeping in bed, these ghetto gunslingers aren't very good shots. And when they do kill somebody, there is a "don't snitch" policy, which is every bit as stupid as inbred morons eating at Dennys with hunting rifles.

Trish said it, the only real solution is to get rid of the guns somehow. Just like cigarettes are still completely legal now, they cost 5 bucks a pack. There's more than one way to skin a cat.
