Gun Nuts

More children dead--from pig oil we get diversions. An attempted coup? Crickets. Such an advertisement for a religious life, eh?

I was being sarcastic when I suggested a bunch of old windsurfers should talk about oil prices instead of the subject of this thread.

Gas prices are high. Meanwhile children are being threatened or killed in our schools.

Since Mrgybe is now back on this forum, maybe a thoughtful conservative will share what he thinks should be done about guns in this country?

Thanks

Coboardhead, don't hold your breath. I have to question the existence of a thoughful conservative in this neck of the woods.

Folks today like to think that Liz Cheney is an honest and thoughtful conservative, but even she recently voted against gun control. But to be fair, she can't afford to piss off any Republicans in her state if she wants to get reelected. Just goes to prove that Republicans are over-the-top crazy about their guns, even the ones that serve no purpose other than to kill people. Somehow, guns represent freedom in their world, and maybe the AR15 represents more freedom.

You were right about that. Righties would rather divert from the subject or run out the clock on discussing reasonable gun control. There hasn’t been an attack on a grade school in a couple weeks. So, we don’t need to do anything about it. I’m not impressed.

There's some heartless liberal idiot pet shelter owner in CA who refuses to accept unwanted pets from anyone who owns a gun. Instead, she leaves many pet owners no option but shelters that euthanize unwanted pets. That's one sick, stupid, misinformed bitch.

A well-educated Canadian friend was very surprised to hear that fully automatic weapons are illegal in the U.S. and have been for generations. So much for what many people regard as "news".

The media have been reporting for days now some politician's (I forget whether it was a Senator, Representative, or POTUS) claim that AR-15s have 300-round magazines.

Our POTUS claims that a 9mm pistol will blow the lungs out of a man. Even if that were true, ISN'T THAT THE PURPOSE OF SHOOTING AN ATTACKER? Why just wound him and piss him off? Cops and citizens alike are trained to put a violent perp down and make sure he can't get up to resume the attack. Nothing less makes any sense in a life-threatening scenario. (My state just passed a law prohibiting buying a pistol that will stop two madmen slaughtering one's wife or child. No WONDER sales of pistol magazines holding more than 10 rounds have increased one to two thousand percent lately.)

Why don’t you explain how an amendment that was written into the constitution to allow slave owners to organize to control their slaves is a basis for everyone to own an AR15. And, while you are at it. How can that fully automatic weapon you mentioned NOT be allowed if weapon ownership is a constitutional guarantee? Do you agree that there needs to be some regulation in guns and can the government restrain some gun ownership? How does that sit with your interpretation of the 2nd amendment?
