(12,194 posts)""I'm not a gun grabber or controller" - I stand by that and challenge you to show where I have ever advocated taking guns away from people."
Do you really not remember saying this:
"Yes, thank you. All of those should be banned along with all handguns. You can keep the Mossberg if you change barrels."
Of course, now, you're going to try to play the "it doesn't really mean what it says" game, with your own words, just as you do with the words of the framers.
I'd like to be proven wrong on that count, but I wont be holding my breath...
"That is a behavior that I think should be illegal, solely because of the current out-of-control proliferation. Has nothing to do with banning ownership of guns."
AKA Because people are doing it. LOL. Too many, in your view. And you can't be bothered to objectively show why this is a problem. I think I know why. It isn't.
You just don't like it being done.
"As the madness continues, more folk will start to realize what is going on. I discuss this topic regularly with friends and acquaintances. You'd be amazed how few are aware of the loosening of gun laws. The irony is that I believe in the same individual rights as you, but I am far more realistic in my assessment. The gun nuts and compulsive carriers are ruining it for everyone else. The stupidity of these people is mind numbing. Like most societal excesses, there will be a breaking point, when government has no choice but to intervene. The writing is on the wall and you and those who think like you serve only to hasten the inevitable backlash."
You believe in the same individual rights as me? Really? You believe that that the right to keep and bear arms is protected from the great majority of governmental interference by the second amendment?
Do I really need to search you quoting "a well regulated militia" to chuck that one out the window as the misleading garbage that it is?
"Compulsive carriers" again...
"Ruining it for everyone else"? Really? They're going to ruin your ability to carry a gun? Please.
Oh, the backlash. Now I see. Tell you what, look at todays posts for some of the backlash you speak of... Say in Maryland...and get back to me.
"It isn't about me, young man."
Rofl @ young man. You could have thrown a BeEvil in there for good measure, couldn't you?
"I'm not the wolf in your cartoon."
So you claim, yet, your statements paint a different picture. Not my fault, and not my problem, my pleasure to point it out, however.
"You may well be the lamb, and if so, you need to learn not to flirt with the wolf."
I don't even know wtf that means lol. Perhaps you can randomly string together sentences of jibberish to make the same point.
"You seem to be intelligent and I'm sure that eventually the penny will drop."
love the smell of patronizing in the morning, do you?
What I find funny - "funny haha" - about the gun rights debate, is that the grabber types feel they have to hide, conceal, or soften the "gabber type image", lest they be percieved as grabber types. If being such is so reasonable and mainstream, why not embrace it - openly and outwardly?
What I find funny - "funny strange" - is that they think nobody will notice them doing it.
I suggest you read back through the archives of the gun forum, clear back to 2001, before you proceed with this foolishness any farther.
