to curb gun deaths just like the “No police state,no way”. The NRA. Police state is no way near a stop, frisk, release if no law is violated. They do it around major drinking holidays and nobody is protesting police state. Random roadblocks and checking for drunk drivers. Certain minor infringements to save lives is not police state tactics.

No thanks. WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2019 #2

Did anyone see the 60 Minutes piece on gun legislation? Ohiogal Nov 2019 #3

No thanks. Not interested in living in a police state. nt hack89 Nov 2019 #4

Wouldn't even be a consideration if gunners would voluntarily give up toting, assault style weapons, Hoyt Nov 2019 #8

Handguns are the killers by a huge margin. hack89 Nov 2019 #14

Exactly, yet gunners insist it's OK to walk around with them in public. Hoyt Nov 2019 #15

As do criminals. hack89 Nov 2019 #18

There're detectors that help. After licensed gunners have been locked up a few times, they'll quit. Hoyt Nov 2019 #19

Licenced gunners are legal gun owners. hack89 Nov 2019 #20

If it's a no tote zone, leave em at home. You can also voluntarily do that. I support no more Hoyt Nov 2019 #23

I support no toting. I think I've made that clear. Hoyt Nov 2019 #26

No toting. Do you support people walking around with gunz because they are scared of boogieman? Hoyt Nov 2019 #29

Unlike you, I condemn stop and frisk as a solution to gun violence. hack89 Nov 2019 #32

Why not support no carry, with very limited exceptions? Hoyt Nov 2019 #36

Because legal CCW is not a problem hack89 Nov 2019 #38

Nope. George Zimmerman, Michael Dunn, etc., all had licenses to carry. Hoyt Nov 2019 #41

So is the OP the solution to the problem of toting? nt hack89 Nov 2019 #45

Fuck that shit. Piss on the fourth amendment? Never. n/t X_Digger Nov 2019 #6

Again, if gunners weren't so bent on toting, etc., it wouldn't even be a consideration. Hoyt Nov 2019 #9

Unfortunately our 4th Amendment went the way of the dodo MagickMuffin Nov 2019 #10

Thank you. nt crickets Nov 2019 #12
