No Bart, I am not anti-gun, i used to hunt, went through gun safety as a kid, been on a trap league, and shoot target practice, I do own guns. But I do not see the need for everybody to carry a gun everywhere they go. When was the last time you had a gun pulled on you? When was the last time you got shot? It is a risk and reward system, I do not see the risk being high enough that I need to carry a gun at all times, however if everybody else starts to carry guns around the risk goes up, too many people have short tempers and the ease of access to a gun will be a power trip they can not resist. Maybe we should all start wearing bullet proof vests everywhere too if it is such a danger? May be we should all start wearing PFDs (personal floatation devices) in case we fall into the water and drown? This just gives thugs an easier way to run around with their guns. The liberal prosecutors in big cities have already stopped prosecuting low level gun violations, and they have turned their heads on contact stops such as traffic violations that used to lead to other major offenses or warrant's. So these thugs are still running around on the streets with their guns, or will be out shortly to do so. If you were not so trapped in your box you would see that this ruling favors the liberals that want to keep these dead beats on the streets as much as it affects the conservatives. Same with the anti-abortion, that just means more people on welfare, not that there are not conservatives getting abortions too, they just don't want anybody at church to find out about it, it's all about keeping that image.
I would have had no problem with more people being shot when they stormed the Capital, I also would have liked to have seen more force including guns used during the "social justice", BLM, "civil unrest" or whatever BS term they want for those riots. If somebody is looting or burning a building shoot them. There are those who say "it's just property, it's not worth taking a life over". Well the United States is "just property" and if we are not willing to fight for that property we may as well just hand the keys over to China, Russia, or BLM. I have no problem with defending the country, or myself, I just don't see a reason for many people to run around with loaded guns, that just means we are failing to either put criminals in jail, or get them the help they need.
You have said many times that thugs and criminals aren’t going thru the legal route to possess a gun, but now it does matter? Just because you don’t see the need to carry one doesn’t speak for everybody. So you are worried about people being shot over heated arguments but you wanted more unarmed protesters shot and killed because YOU don’t have a problem with it…Not everybody will be carrying a gun but you will never know who is . And believe it or not that is a deterrent, that is why they only beat up or rob the elderly, women or children…. Not wanting my rights taken away is not being trapped in a box.
