It's funny when you consider that most of these rich pudgy socialists are tax exempt and/or movng their businesses offshore. They are anti gun, anti America, anti second amendment, anti prosperity etc.
He doesn't care, because he's got ARMED guards around him. Same goes for all those other anti second amendment types.

They don't fear guns wielded by people they control, they fear when people they can't control can carry and own weapons.

I am anti-gun

I've lived in 8 countries. 2 of them are full of guns. Both are very violent with high murder rates.

I am probably anti-gun because I was raised in a country with no guns.

What are the two countries you mention?  And are guns legal there, or just in the hands of govt and criminals?

Thailand & USA.

You can own guns in Thailand and the police carry guns. You do need a license to own a gun.

I don't think so, they are just conditioned to think that guns = violence = bad. They have never had the thrill of hitting a target at 200m or breaking a clay bird in midair.

They also never seem to appreciate that when guns protect the innocent they aren't "evil" in that case.

Second admendment is here to stay. To remove it would be political suicide. Ranting about it is just far right talking points to charge up their base of uneducated middle american voters.
Background checks are a good thing and has nothing to do with your "freedom" to own guns.

This is coming from a liberal who loves his guns. Its a good idea to look past the Hannity noise and come up with your own thoughts.

Pro gun though I would not glamorize them.

To me it seems that many anti gun people despise fire arms because a deadly weapon means power and responsibility(training, handling, care)... lots of it actually.

The, thankfully few, criminals I've met in my life were well equipped with black market guns/ammo. It's pretty disappointing to see the filthy underbelly of society brimming with power and many citizens unaware of that they are just sitting ducks.

If you're own a gun here you are required to only use it for self protection, registered and routinely checked - ammo type, loaded or not, locked away. I would prefer open carry but unfortunately the agenda is against it unless you're a taxi or lorry driver on long distance routes.

p.s.: and yes, we all know that the champagne socialists can only roll their eyes when it comes to guns and other uneasy matters that life slaps upon us

One of the biggest anti gun politicians is Senator Schumer from New York.  He has a carry permit for his handgun. It's only okay for elitistist liberals to have a firearm in his eyes.

If i lived in the USA i probably would have a gun or two. Not just because criminals but also because of a possible tyranny regime in a near future.

[Svengoolie]

Better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.

[Mawse]

Despite coming from a beta, socialist , gun fearing country I'm very pro gun ... Especially as there was an armed home invasion just this weekend next door.

Living close to Guvmint Hebrew Housing you'd have to be functionally retarded not to keep at least one gun in the house in case they decide to claim some reparations for new Nikes and rims

[BigCyp]

Good point. Any politician from now on who is openly (as in campaigning or voicing in public) anti-gun, must only have bodyguards that carry a baguette.

Well - I'm English and we have lots of shotguns there - so I have been "clay pigeon" shooting. I agree it's a lot of fun and by no means easy. I've also shot rabbits and pheasants in the UK. I sort of don't even see shotguns as guns to be honest. More as a tool for farmers!

I've also fired rifles in rifle clubs as a kid, (nor air rifles, real ones) although I'm not sure what the story is about rifles now in the UK. I think it would have been 1982 at 12 years old I last shot one there. Never had much interest and never got the opportunity after that.

I don't think I've ever seen a rifle outside of a gun club but shotguns are common place where I grew up in Staffordshire and then later in Hampshire, it's not at all uncommon to see a farmer walking along with a shotgun over his arm and a few bunnies in his pocket.

I've never shot a pistol though or any sort of automatic weapon. Obviously whatever the laws are with guns in the UK - you could NOT defend yourself with a legally owned gun in your own home.

The antii-gun nuts are looking for an easy target to blame for very complicated social problems.  

[240 is Back]

I would love a world with zero guns.  But that toothpaste is out of the tube now.  
Therefore I have carried legally for 17 years.   And I watch others.  I stay guarded.  I fe safe though.  Just pack heat, look like a handful that's ready, and bad guys will usually bother someone else.  I see a threat person or group in a room and I keep gun on ready, I usually come to them.  Establish thru posture or eyes or hand position that "I ain't the mtherfcking one".   I play scary places and pass thru horrible neighborhoods.  Stay ready and don't smell like prey.

I strongly agree with both of these statements.  Well done.

I keep an air rifle next to my bed, next to a golf club (neither are my sporting interests  ) I just figure if someone tries to steal my car again, or breaks in during the night I'd like to point something at them, before it turns into a fist fight.

Funny. Like most of the folks in my vicinity, I keep a semi-automatic rifle (an "assault weapon") near me at night along with a plate carrier that has 4x mags, pistol and light.

Strangely, we never seem to have any crime. Occasionally, I have to ventilate a porcupine before it ventilates the dogs.

It's almost like you are hoping to be put into the position to shoot someone.

Are you volunteering?

I'm a happy firearms owner, i like the engineering, how they work, how they are made, the history, and so on... I'm against hunting, not against having a firearm...

You remind me of that movie where Michael Dougless just goes postal on everyone.

Kind of look like him too.
