christelsabine 1 #2008 March 6, 2018 yoink ******Do you have an issue with Ron thinking the people he disagrees with are un-American? Do you have an issue with Ron thinking the people he disagrees with are the enemy? You do not really understand what being an American means. An enemy is anyone who attempts to impose his will on me, my family or my community in such a manner as to make me feel threatened. Why do YOU get to define what being an American means?? You were born into it. Some of us had to WORK to become an American. Do you know where Ron's ancestors came from? His family name does not really sound *American* Perhaps his beloved president's and his own ancestors met somewhere in the middle of their way to the new world .... dudeist skydiver # 3105 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nolhtairt 0 #2009 March 6, 2018 Quote I believe the problem isn't the weapons so much as it is our society. We glorify killing in movies, TV, and games. Have you seen the John Wick franchise? Either way, in another 20 years most of us will be gone and forgotten. Fatalistic view? Yup. Then there are the hypocritical actors like Liam Neeson, Sylvester Stallone, et al, who do a lot of shooting in movies, but rail against gun violence in real life. Practice what you preach, and maybe people will actually listen. Then again, probably not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know! There are even gun _owners_ who shoot all the time - with real weapons, rather than fake Hollywood guns - and claim they are upset by school shootings. What a bunch of hypocrites. The difference is, most gun enthusiasts who spend time at shooting ranges are responsible gun owners. There are a few thousand fully automatic rifles owned by US citizens, yet not a single one has been used in a mass shooting. And they are rightfully hard to get, not to mention expensive.

No, wait, how many times has this happened to anyone you know? Actually, let's make this even easier - how many times have you ever even HEARD of one person with a gun fighting multiple armed robbers? Take that number and compare it to the number of school kids murdered in just the last couple of years. Is it worth it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually used to keep my 50 cal blackpowder rifle under my bed with two speed loads between the mattresses.
