Do you think open carry should be restricted in Montana because it's illegal in NYC?

Like I said it's just practical common sense. It's a big old country we have. There are just some things that are not a "one size fits all" with the diverse population in the United States.

Yes, and No.

Who would hijack airplanes if we passed out Glock 17s at the gate?

Try to keep it real here Waldo. No one is going to pass out Glocks at airports or anywhere else for that matter.

But say you were able to carry on a plane and some drunk jerk thought you were making eyes at this girlfriend. Are you willing to shoot it out with him on a 747 at 30,000 feet?

Do you think it would be a good idea to sell automatic weapons at Wal Mart to anyone that has enough cash? Do you feel your 2A rights have been restricted because you and the crackhead down the street can't buy machine guns without background checks?

That's kinda where I'm going with this common sense thing.

Some people don't have any. We don't need to let them have guns in order for us to ascertain they are idiots.

Do we?

Who's "we?" You got a mouse in your pocket?

Now how many times have the liberals, and even a few moderates, and yes.. even the board cynic railed NEWXD for repeating over, and over, and over again that liberals want to take away/restrict your and my right to bear arms?!

Well... I say NEWXD hasn't pounded it home nearly enough! Liberals do want to take your guns! Oh, they want them for themselves.. Ask Diane Fienstein... As difficult as it is to get a concealed handgun liscence in California... guess what, she has one!! She doesn't think you or I should carry a gun because "we" (there's that "we" again) aren't responsible enough... and yet..



Notice anything wrong here? Hmm.... lets see, the breech is closed, and her finger is on the trigger.. well... that's not good. Thank goodness she knows what's good for "us" though eh?

She is for "sensible" restrictions on my rights though, because she, like you bd, know whats best for everyone else.

If it weren't for restrictions those boys might have had a .308 instead of a pellet gun too.

There are already laws against shooting people indiscriminately with a pellet or a 308... restrictions were not a factor.

This is like a preacher preaching to preachers. If funnygun wants to preach I suggest he go find some stinking sinners to preach too (anti gun people). I don't need or want someone babbling to me about gun rights. Especially someone who's incapable of understanding simple facts. Listening to him is like one preacher getting up in the middle of a sermon and shooting the preacher giving it cause he don't like the sermon. Just a little common sense when you post, that's all I ask.

Come on guys!...Stop pissing on each others Wheaties and stay on topic.

If we allow the Democrats to frame this as a "hunting" issue...we lose.
We must force them to discuss a constitutional right...not a recreational activity that less than 25% of the gun-owning public participate in.

But why leave this up to the Democrats? The Republicans hold all the marbles and supposedly the Second Amendment is their bread and butter.

Why try to shape the opposing party's platform when you can do it from your end?

I'm not trying to shape the Democrats platform, they are trying to make people they have some interest in protecting my 2nd ammendment rights. I know they don't mean it.. they no more want me to own a handgun, then they want abortions to be rare!
