No idea what you are saying. None. Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #55

You advocate violence against gun owners. What level of violence is acceptable to you? hack89 Jan 2015 #57

Again no idea how you get from A to Z. Your logic is imperfect. Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #63

So tackling gun owners in public is not a violent act? It is not assault? hack89 Jan 2015 #73

No idea what you are saying for the third time...Is there an "attempt" limit? Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #75

Oh, I 100% agree with you! But the LAW would have Security do NOTHING. WinkyDink Jan 2015 #114

Yep. Concealed gun owner is legal, so the gun holder walks away and sues the mall..... Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #121
