On Open Carry

second amendment lunacy that's going to get advocates killed

Okay so which guy shot 5 police officers killing three of them in the Canadian town of Moncton yesterday and which guy is suffering from a Rambo complex? If you were on the ground and heard the shooting report on the radio and saw both of these guys within three city blocks of each other what would you do? Back when me and all my friends carried open weapons you know what we did when we saw civilians carrying weapons? We f*****g shot them. Okay, I'll admit to extenuating circumstances with regards to what in the hell we were doing in Iraq to begin with but that's not the point kids. I've seen some seriously fucked up s**t happen with weapons because the persons wielding them were "Jittery." Sooner or later these open carry dip s***s are going to start getting shot by "jittery" police and scared private citizens. Try arguing second amendment rights with a bullet lodged in your cranium. It's kind of hard to do. All these guys insisting on carrying weapons in plain view, sure, it's their legal right in some states and no it's not going to make a hell of a lot of difference in violent crime (Anyone who thinks it'll decrease violent crime needs to put the crack pipe down and get f*****g real. The vast majority of shooting deaths in America are accidental) but hey, why in the hell does anyone need to carry a weapon in America? Maybe in the hood and guess how long you'd last shouldering a weapon on MLK BLVD before the cops were beating your a*s with night sticks because you're a moron. A high powered rifle isn't a Goddamn toy or fashion accessory. It's a machine designed to kill, period. A true, responsible gun owner knows this and wouldn't stroll through the local shopping mall with an AR-15 strapped to his back. Mark my words kids, I've been to this rodeo before and it's going to end very badly for someone.

It's a very powerful argument you're making but i completely agree with it. In beautiful England we had a similar situation where a police officer shot someone before he could be shot and there was outrage, but had the little b*****d not had a gun in the first place and not had the police looking for him there would be no situation. This truly raises the point that guns are intended to kill, no-one should be carrying a knife, baseball bats should only be carried when intended a game of baseball, otherwise you're asking for trouble.

that's for sure. Thanks for stopping by

Well, there is always going to be creeps out there that use guns for the wrong purpose. I guess that is why we are now enforcing gun control.

Thank you Troy

You always get right to the point so aptly Mark...have no clue why anyone needs to carry firearms, especially in clear view for no apparent reason other than to act the fool and scare the bejaysus out of people...

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Frieda

You are right. Hard to tell a real gun from a fake. Where I work. We sell B.B guns that look like real weapons. I believe world will get more loco. My daughter graduated from High School. Her friends are scare to death. No work and parent broke. I hope the leaders learn. Kids and old people need hope and dreams. Could be a wild world when people become desperate. Thank you for the story. A wide open subject with no easy answer.

You are like the prophet telling a story everyone knows...
I wonder why there is even a debate here.

[Baby Ricochet]

Because some people are idiots

[David Scott]

You have a point here. :)
I guess we all have been idiotic at some point in our lives and most likely will be again. Sometimes it becomes a permanent state of mind however... Like the case in point.
