I Choose to Own a Gun. [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by SunsetDreams (a host of the General Discussion forum).

That is my choice, and thankfully the SCOTUS has told me I can.

It's not any business of yours. Period. I won't use it on you unless you try to kill me or someone in my family. So the only objection you have to my owning a gun is that it makes it more difficult for you or anyone else to hurt my family.

But you can't deal with that, so you call my choice to own a gun 'irresponsible' and 'murderous'.... and you sound EVERY BIT like EVERY anti-choice wingnut on the roster out there.
