Moderator: Dictators in Training
I personally would outlaw guns a la England if I had the power.
Half our population can't walk and chew bubble gum at the same time, and our government is fine with mass arming these people. It's somewhat amazing.

Senate bill would allow anyone 18 or over to openly carry a gun without any training or license.

Welcome back to the Old West.
House bill would allow anyone with a protective order to openly carry for self defense. It also allows any past or present military to have a lifetime concealed carry license.

So what do you guys think about everyone walking around with a gun on their hip like it's 1889?
I don't think 'guns' are a right. Technically the second amendment can be leveraged for any amount of weaponry for your safety. It really is an outdated and misinterpreted article of our constituion.

No dude it cant. Arms are something one man can use and carry to defend himself. It cant be used for bombs cause thems is ordinence It also doesnt give you the right to combat vehicles .
Like i said its your opinion and you got the right to it but i might not be standing here typing to you today if it wasnt for my glock so i really odnt agree with ya.
I shoot least i used to when i had time and money. I hunt. I live in a shitty part of the world. Guns are part of my every day existence and i fear for my safety when i dont have them ( still fighting with the westland pd over that matter). In a few weeks I have to go to court to testify against my neighbors and then i have a feeling that shit is going to get pretty fucking real.
All this debate really comes down to in my mind is where you live. If you live in a safe place where people dont get assaulted and robbed all the damn time you prolly think they are silly and dangerous. If you live in a rougher part of town where having to defend yourself or your people is a very real possibility they seem like a good tool to have around.
Lat but not least we already live in a nanny state and I really dont think any of us need the govt telling us anymore things that we cant do. Ill take my freedoms ..... all of them and the ones I dont have ill continue to wish for. I hate to sound like flink but if whatever im doing isnt harming you than i should have the right to do it.
One last thing before I go . Cars kill like a bajillion people a year and I dont hear anyone hollering about banning them how dangerous they are or people needing mmore "training"

Neither of those sound look good options to me since im not fuckin insane or suicidal. .

eh, people can be responsible with them until they commit a crime. kind of a dumb statement

They definitely won't if they can't have a gun~

Drem wrote:stupid dude, you're thinking so situationally. like maybe if you didnt' have a gun you'd actually become a real human being and learn how to use your body. people like jet li were probably the average for the human body in the past
