I guess I wasn't done afterall.
Me niether.
Can't help it when I see such shortsightedness.
Let's cut to the chase. You have made comments in other threads about "assault weapons" as the antis like to call them.
Do you support the reinstatement of the "assault weapons ban" that was in effect under the Clinton administration?
Do you support making making new manufactured high capacity magazines illegal?
Do you support making concealed carry illegal?
Do you support making the .50BMG illegal for civilian ownership?
Do you believe that states, counties, townships, cities or municipalities should be allowed to enact thier own forms of gun control such as the District of Columbia case before the supreme court?
Answer any or all of these in a truthful fashion if you want. Some of these are past, present and possibly future legislation in the works.
All these questions on a topic that is about protecting yourself from bears??? You really are a gun nut. Did you mean to post them on another thread, because they seem to come out of nowhere? Regardless, i'll answer you questions....

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.
I'm sure you wanted me to answer yes to these questions, as you seem to want to pin the tag "anti" on me. At one time, I felt somewhat differently than I do now about gun ownership. Although I support someones right to own an "assult weapon", I dont think just anyone should be able to own one. That is why I support background checks.
Can you understand that if someone from the non gun-owning crowd asks you why you carry a pistol wherever you go, and you reply "because its my right", you'll look foolish to them. Yes, it is our right to carry a concealed weapon, but it is not an answer to their question. My girlfriend came home just a little while ago, and after noticing that I went to the grocery store she asked, "why did you go to the grocery store?" If I would have responded "because I have a drivers license", she would have looked at me like I was an r-tard (at least more so than usual), because I didn't answer her question. The real answer I gave her was "because I needed some bananas, duh". Me answering "because I have a drivers license" is just the same as the answer "because its my right"
I guess my point is that you're missing mine. I questioned why people feel like they should be packing at the grocery store, or while walking the dog, and your answer was essentially "because its thier right". Do you understand now how that doesn't make sense? It's not an answer to the question.
Carry your concealed gun wherever you want, Grocery store, mall, church, to get the mail, out to dinner...wherever. I dont really care where you take it. It is your right to do so. I mentioned that several times.
Go find someone who is truly antigun to argue with.
