Re: The FAST Approaching Gun Ban
Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it.”
― Mark Twain
Obamacare, Abortion, Internet porn, Freedom to be as gay as you wanna be; these are Democratic experiments.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
The facts hate guns, cops hate guns, every other country in the world hates guns.
But guns are so twisted and entangled with Freedom, I say pick your battles.
Obamacare and Gay rights, gays in the military, gays getting married, these are huge.
As a people ...it is real easy to find something wrong with somebody else, but harder to find something wrong with your self. Don't go into Dino's home and take his gun. It's too similar to going into his house and taking his weed, his porn, his tranny whore girlfriends.
Freedom is fucking Dangerous. Not mine, yours.
Re: The FAST Approaching Gun Ban
I adore maxims.
Curtailment and limitation is having to carry a gun where ever you go, while looking over your shoulder. In the anarchic days of our western expansion we experienced that.
Freedom is being able to walk unencumbered and without worry into every corner of the nation. We fairly recently were pretty much achieving that.
Paranoia is a virus. The NRA has weaponized it, for profit.

Are you saying by stealing my guns you'll start scratching and thinking bugs are crawling on you?

It was actually the second time in less than a year that someone shot up the Wilshire Station. They never caught the guy from last year.
And this former police officer walked into Frank's Gun and Taxidermy Shop in Pennsylvania, stole a weapon from a display case, and shot Frank to death:

You may be right that there have been no intentional shootings at gun shows in recent memory, but hardly a week goes by without someone being accidentally shot at one. You get an auditorium full of firearms and firearm enthusiasts, you're pretty much asking for an accidental discharge.
LOL. Have you ever even been to a gun show? "Hardly a week goes by without someone being accidentally shot at one". I went to gun shows in Las Vegas. If you choose to bring your firearm into the show, you must check your guns at the desk, where they inspect to see if they are unloaded and then use a ziptie to keep the slide and magazine well locked up so you can't load it while walking around. There are no loaded guns in shows. Display guns are unloaded, chambers are locked or blocked with zipties or other devices, have no magazines nearby and bullets are sold by separate vendors. It's not like it's a fairground full of people waltzing about with loaded assault rifles and pistols.
That police officer was an active duty cop when the murder happened. So much for "only cops should have guns." As for the guy who shot a cop in a police station the other day... he was met by a hail of return gunfire. You can't simply walk into a building with armed people and go on a spree. You'll be put down fast by the good guys with guns. Not so much for every school, theater, church and mall shooting spree in the past few years. No one shot back. Not even armed security or a school resource officer were available... Just unarmed victims everywhere.

It's more the opposite.
Curtailment and limitation is having to watch where you go and worry who might attack you, knowing you are unable to defend yourself from rapists or muggers, because cops are too heavy to carry around on your hip and bodyguards cost too much to hire.
Freedom is being able to walk unencumbered and without worry into every corner of the nation, because when you are well armed and well prepared, everywhere you go is a safe zone.
Unfortunately, there are many areas across this country, that people are forced to live in, because of expenses or other conditions, where crime rates are high and merely walking out your door exposes you to gangs, muggers, sex predators and drugs. In some places, being locked inside your own home is no longer safe, where criminals or even hordes of them, are willing and able to smash down your door to take your things, even your life. And even more unfortunate, is that you can have police to help you... in about 15 to 20 minutes.
I can spend 3 minutes on the phone with 911, giving them my address and telling them what's happening and wait another 15 to 20 minutes for them to arrive while intruders are breaking down my door.. or I can draw, aim and fire in less than one second, forcing the intruders to flee.

D V: Am I the only person on here who can't get GIFs to work?
KIT: I lived in a bad neighborhood and gangs DID break into my house.
They were like 9 and 10 years old.
Twice my place was robbed, teenagers.
Now then.....
1935 Social Security,
1964 Civil Rights,
2010 Affordable Care Act
Without 60 Senators and a majority in the House Obama would only give the NRA an Erection of Steel if he tried anything related to gun control. Yahoos who had no clue where the schoolhouse was would find it if that's where the voting was taking place this November. The battle for the USA takes place one kid at a time. In school.
There is no security, only opportunity-Gen MacArthur.

Unarmed, I could not enter many areas without constant fear of harassment or assault. I used to have a gender therapist who had his office in a ghetto area of a nearby town.

It's fucking scary when you are alone, unarmed and it's night out, in the ghetto, with groups of assholes walking around or loitering about. The area is the worst in my entire county. I stopped going to that therapist because of the shitty neighborhood.
Knowing I have a means to defend myself from a group of attackers increases my freedom. The burden of fear and paranoia that I could be attacked by a crackhead or mugger was gone when I had a gun on my hip. I had the ability to protect myself anywhere I went and didn't have to worry or even think about the possibility of someone attacking.
Like I've posted about other experiences in high crime areas, it is liberating when you can walk around anywhere, even in ghetto, crime ridden areas, because I have immediate defense at my side.
