The FAST Approaching Gun Ban

[Prospero]

Does it say something about the nature of those fascinated with firearms that a shop I passed yesterday, devoted to replica guns and the like, also featurde Nazi memorabilia, daggers with Nazi symbols emblazoned on them, T shirts about the joy of gunning people down etc....

I think you have spotted something here - never made the connection before. Seems as likely as this newspaper headline

This.

Those who openly carry are utter assholes, but at least they're not also cowards. Those who carry their guns furtively are too cowardly to show the public the toys they can't be without.

I think you guys are being a little close-minded here, .......
100 million Nazis CAN't be wrong!!
Personally, I draw the line at ALIEN Nazis with machine guns.
Those guys are just beyond rude.

Open carry - yes, favour this

Saw a great clip on The Colbert Report from Monday night, where they do a spot on an idiot in the Florida Keys who set up a target range in his driveway. The guy is just as thick-headed as can be, firing live ammo in a suburban neighborhood, much to his neighbors' dismay. When you see his parents, you'll know where his stupidity comes from - the apple did not fall far from the tree. I am unable to post the video here from Comedy Central, but go here: http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos then scroll down and look for the clip entitled "Difference Makers: Doug Varrieur" from 6/2/14. Very funny, and a little scary.

A good bit. Thanks.

Very funny, and a little scary.

Scarier the closer to Doug you happen to live. Imagine having a school age kid who has to walk past that nut's house everyday on the way to and from school. That his backyard range is apparently legal, demonstrates the laws regulating firearms are way off-kilter and need to be brought back into the realm of sanity.

I thought that had to be inaccurate...that there would be local ordinances, at the very least, about noise and perhaps distances allowed to fire near a home....but I was wrong. http://www.miamiherald.com/2014/01/2...r-has-gun.html

Wow.






P.S.....wanna see something scary...check out the poll that's attached to the article.
