(12,751 posts)this "law abiding gun owner" transported it to New York. That's one thing I've found about our "law abiding gun owners" over the years: they don't think the rules apply to them when the subject comes to their Phallic Replacement Devices, thanks to the bogus cover they imagine the 2nd amendment gives to their every whim when it comes to guns.
I've even seen this rule-breaking phenomenon over the years, amazingly enough, on my favorite liberal discussion board: a conservative feels aggrieved that a good number of liberals on a progressive discussion board do not share his enthusiasm for guns, so he signs up to that discussion board pretending to be a "pro gun progressive" for the explicit purpose of pretending there is such a thing as a liberal RKBA advocate in the NRA sense. There is no such thing, of course, and it is a violation of the site's stated rules for that poster to even be there. Said poster doesn't care, by Gawd: some things are just more important than being truthful and following rules in someone else's house. He's going to double and triple down, and keep right on pretending to be a "pro gun progressive" all the while bleating NRA talking points - which is to say, right wing talking points.
This "pro gun progressive" canard isn't really fooling anybody, and we all know it.
