Gun apologists are swarming DU today.

27. Thanks for the tip.

Oh-and do you expect those millions of troops coming back from battlefields all around the world will give up packing a gun?

Are you seriously justifying the carrying of a firearm in civilian life on the basis that you needed one while actively serving in the military? Do you know how crazy that sounds?

Since you decided to pull rank, here's how I'll answer: while you're serving in the military in a military capacity (i.e., not on leave and not in reserve on US soil) then you're welcome to wield whatever firearms the chain of command has deemed appropriate to the situation and setting. But when you're back in the civilian world, where there is no fucking need to own an AR-15, then I expect you to behave like a civilian.

Had you been an explosives expert during military life, I wouldn't give you the thumbs up to stockpile C-4 just because you feel like it.

If you feel the need to pack an AR-15 in civilian life, then perhaps it's best that you not have access to one.



Reply or don't, because I sure as hell won't see it.
