Gun interests WANT criminals to have guns

[Decoy of Fenris]

132. I think you're distorting a bit, mate.

Having read through the post about the gun safe issue, I think you've distorted the point. The objections raised by the Gungeoneers in that particular thread have little to do with gun safes themselves and more to do with legislation -requiring- them, selectively, in addition to gun locks. While the legislation is noble and would indeed save lives, effective gun safes are expensive, and certain gun locks simply won't work on some varieties of firearm due to mechanical incompatibility. The legislation requiring the purchase of a gun safe and lock are, for all intents and purposes, a "poll tax" on the exercise of a constitutional right, sharing almost identical similarities with requiring a valid form of identification to vote. This is the sort of legislation I myself am against, and would prefer tax rebates and incentives for positive action such as voluntarily purchasing and utilizing a gun safe/lock.


In regards to the felon-NRA letter, after a brief bit of digging and examining his psychological reports, Gary Bornman has had a great history of mental illness, demonstrated an inability to live outside of prison, and has apparently gone on numerous crusades both in and outside the criminal justice system against perceived slights. If he thinks something is "wrong", he simply does the most attention-grabbing act he can, regardless of whether the system in question is in need of reform. Apparently, he has a history of such things, and I would humbly state that using him as an icon of "Truth" is about on par with citing Ted Nugent as an authority on firearm safety.
