(11,638 posts)So tried of every serious debate being shutdown by any moron that can say "2nd amendment". When the fuck did your so-called "right to bear arms" supersede my right to walk around in public without feeling like my town is under some sort of paramilitary marshal law?
Nothing says "feeling safe" like being in a store and have 3 strangers in tactical gear, rifles and pistols on their hips walk in. Not to mention there is no conversation I am having with someone I know is armed, including a cop, in which they are not always going to be "right". That is bullshit. I don't give a shit if you tell me you are "a good guy with a gun". Don't care what you say, you are one argument or one beer from being a "bad guy with a gun".
You can only continue to deflect or hobble these conversations saying "2nd amendment" for so long before the ability to shape and effect real solutions is taken out of your hands. Eventually we will all tire of it and change the rules without your input.
