The FAST Approaching Gun Ban

[95racer]

Just tuck it in your waistband.

I prefer to secure my guns better than that. Tucking in waistband means rubber grips or a bunch of rubber bands on the grip. Guns sliding down and out of your pant legs onto the floor can cause unnecessary issues.

To tuck or not to tuck. That is the question.
Whether 'tis enhancing in one's own mind
To suffer the risk of manhood
Or take arms holstered into the public square
To exercise an ancient and misunderstood right,
One that is a daily source of heartache
And causeth many of us innocently to die.
Who would bear arms would that others die of them
Put but himself and his family at death's dark door,
And thereby puts their dreams to sleep at muzzle's end.

That's funny..

I prefer not to tuck when ever possible.. Wear a long loose fitting top that just covers it so you can't tell.. way more comfy than trying to hide it..

But sometimes it needs to be concealed..

Eventually.. I hope there is some type of regulation of firearms in the USA.. Then you can be more civil like us Canadians and just use a knife or your bare hands rather than waiting 6 months for a firearms license..

If you are intellectually inclined, and reason and logic are not only your guide, but the guide you feel everyone should follow, then it just follows to reason that guns hurt much more than they save.

Lots of Republicans think Democrats talk down to them, just because they went to some fancy schamcy college.
Lots of Republicans think Democrats not only want to take their guns, they want them to hug trees and suck cocks.

Since half the country is PRO-GUN (or whatever) it seems like game over. Unless you want gestapo brownshirts to start kicking down doors. You almost have to hope a gang of 10 year olds attacks a city, with automatic weapons, and kills thousands of people, that might be the only thing that shakes people enough to yell for stricter control of guns.

At least in Iraq they shoot people in the name of Allah, over here we kill people for stupid personal problems, or accidentally, or for street cred.

As a country, we may be crazier than Iraq. Or, maybe Wise Men shun the Govt for good reason. Maybe all this gun violence is Justice, USA-GOD Style.

I know whenever I'm kinda lost, and don't know which way to turn, I ask myself "What would Jack Bauer do?"

I know bum fuck Ohio rather well. No need for a double barrel 10 gauge there, nor any other kind of gun. Relax, set aside the paranoia and read a book.

Except a majority of Americans are for more stringent regulations governing the ownership of firearms, access, carry, magazine capacity, etc. A decade ago over 50% of homes had a firearm. Today it's below 40%. What stands in the way of sanity is not the populace, but NRA and gun lobbyists.

Amen brother.

I've heard both FDR and Obama say "You've got to make me do it" In other words, people come up to the President and say WE"VE got to do this or that, when in fact the Prez can't do anything until both the House and Senate sends him a Bill to sign or veto. In that sense, the people have to yell louder than the gun lobby, but they don't. Congress doesn't do anything unless it has a gun to it's head.

So true. Even though the majority are for stricter firearm legislation they aren't as loud as the belligerent gun toting minority. Sane people have better things to do with their time and their money than spend it lobbying congress on a single issue. With gun nuts its an avocation__ writing letters in local newspapers, trolling comment sections, facebooking their diatribes, writing representatatives, buying gun magazines thus financially supporting the industry, buying more guns, toting them in public spaces__ it's exactly what they want to be doing with their time. Ya want to tell 'em, "Get a fucking life and stop supporting the taking of life."

My shotgun sets on the mantle, unloaded. I am reading a good book "Our Bodies Ourselves The Boston Women's health book collective"
