^^ this ^^ bunnies Sep 2013 #34

until I fuck up, I'm responsible. period. GalaxyHunter Sep 2013 #37

In other words, no matter what anyone thinks of you, you're going to take your gun anywhere you want denverbill Sep 2013 #39

It's irresponsible to bring a loaded gun anywhere, in my book. denverbill Sep 2013 #42

We have licensure for concealed carry. AtheistCrusader Sep 2013 #47

Except you're decreeing it is bad without exception or intent. Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2013 #88

What part of "good or bad" are you not reading? (nt) jeff47 Sep 2013 #101

Good point. We should prohibit those things as well. denverbill Sep 2013 #79

So, carrying a gun is equal to rape. Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2013 #90

Yes carrying a gun is equal to rape. That's exactly what I said. denverbill Sep 2013 #91

You wrote, "When they are caught mugging, raping, violent cretining, or carrying a gun." Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2013 #93

Because it is against the law for felons to own guns. denverbill Sep 2013 #96

If your carrying comment was confined exclusively to duly convicted felons carrying guns Nuclear Unicorn Sep 2013 #97

They are almost always "caught" a significant amount of time after doing those things. rrneck Sep 2013 #95

If they are already in progress, a gun isn't going to help much. denverbill Sep 2013 #98

You got a better idea? nt rrneck Sep 2013 #99

so you actually are scared? that's why you have guns then... GalaxyHunter Sep 2013 #9

Huh? Jackpine Radical Sep 2013 #19

People lump you with killers because you have a gun? hrmjustin Sep 2013 #4

we must call the cops on him because he has a gun! GalaxyHunter Sep 2013 #6

Well that must hurt. I am sorry people treat you like that. hrmjustin Sep 2013 #14

well it doesn't hurt because at the end of the day GalaxyHunter Sep 2013 #18

and what would that accomplish? GalaxyHunter Sep 2013 #10

Question here? atreides1 Sep 2013 #11

because guns are bad and if you have one you are bad. GalaxyHunter Sep 2013 #13

You need more target practice. Jackpine Radical Sep 2013 #21

your concern is noted. GalaxyHunter Sep 2013 #22

You mean the way the NRA and friends always equate themselves with civil rights icons? Yes. It is. Squinch Sep 2013 #104

That will be the old "lie down with dogs" conundrum. It's the lack of support from Squinch Sep 2013 #16

Probably not. jeff47 Sep 2013 #72

yes Reagan messed it up but gejohnston Sep 2013 #74

Exactly how would registration reduce gun crimes? Jenoch Sep 2013 #108

By reducing the number of illegal guns, jmg257 Sep 2013 #110

I think the word you were looking for is fewer. Jenoch Sep 2013 #111

"Reducing" equals "fewer". not sure what you meant there. Anyway... jmg257 Sep 2013 #113

Oh, I get it now... HALO141 Sep 2013 #114

Someone started a thread here with Jenoch Sep 2013 #41

Someone in England once said that Irish babies should be cooked as food. Your point? Squinch Sep 2013 #54

Let explain it to you, be sure to read this slowly. Jenoch Sep 2013 #63

Well, can clearly see why you need a gun jeff47 Sep 2013 #67

Huh? Jenoch Sep 2013 #68

Someone said something mean on the Internet jeff47 Sep 2013 #71

You really should work on your reading Jenoch Sep 2013 #73

Yeah. There's still no point in there. Squinch Sep 2013 #103

The someone on DU who posted the letter said they agreed with it. Jenoch Sep 2013 #107

That's a good point. I legally carry a concealed handgun as open carry is illegal in my state. ... spin Sep 2013 #43
