What must it be like to live in fear 24/7
The people who think it’s wrong to restrict the general public’s right to carry guns are the scared ones? The ones who trust most people to legally own and use guns responsibly?
Private businesses have the right to deny service to anyone and do whatever they want, except when it direcrly affects me.
OP didn’t say businesses shouldn’t have the right, they just said they wouldn’t patronize any business that did. If I walk into a joint and they start randomly insulting my parentage, genitalia, and genetic viability, I’m not going back there again, even though they’re just exercising their free speech rights.
This may be hard for you to grasp, but many people think people should have the right to do things the first group considers wrong.
Was at a festival this past spring and saw a group of people open carry and they all had shirts on with “you’re welcome for the protection.” There were cops at the event and I really wouldn’t want grandma who couldn’t come close to the corn hole boards taking any life or death shots.
Okay. Were any of the people in question grandmas, or are you just making that up?
People who want you disarmed don’t want you to be safe.
They want you to be defenseless.
“oh you silly geese, there aren’t going to be any mass shootings in that restaurant.”
You know who else thought that? The people who went to Luby’s in Killeen, TX on October 16, 1991. The people who went to Twin Peaks in Waco, TX on May 17, 2015. The people who went to McDonald’s in San Ysidro, CA on July 18, 1984. And the tournament gamers at Chicago Pizza in Jacksonville, FL less than 2 months ago.
FOH with that bullshit.
Or Waffle House, when they banned guns and explicitly stood by that policy even after incidents involving criminals and guns in their joints, even though someone armed nearby intervened on more than one of those occasions.
Getting shot at Waffle House is practically a meme now. I personally know at least one person who was involved in a shooting at one of our local Waffle Houses I’m sure there are more.
I’m gonna scream.
The ignorance about guns is just too much and it’s really affecting the gun arguments. I don’t even blame all the individuals espousing it so much as the media that’s been feeding them bullshit and confusing terminology to make things sound scarier.
- Rapidfire does not mean a gun fires more than one bullet at once
- Rapidfire is pretty much just another way of saying semiautomatic
- Most handguns are completely capable of firing rapidly
- Handguns are much more commonly used in violent gun crime
- “Full semiauto“ is a meaningless term. The gun is either fully automatic or it’s not.
- Most modern guns are semiautomatic
- It just means you don’t have to manually re-load the bullet in the chamber each time you fire
- Many “hunting rifles“ use rounds that are much, much bigger than the ones found in “assault rifles”.
Please please please before you make a declarative statement about guns, make sure you get your facts straight. It’s fine to ask for clarification if you need it, this is not an attack on anybody, but understand there is a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to guns.
“I’m pro 2a to an extent” I already stopped reading right there. And next, “something something muskets"😑
There were literally Machine gun prototypes floating around in the mid-1700s. This idea that the founding fathers could never conceive of weapons more advanced than muskets is asinine and needs to die.
Bolt-action rifles of the Second World War:
- Mosin–Nagant
- Karabiner 98K
- M1903 Springfield
- MAS Modèle 36
- Arisaka
- Carcano

Ted Nugent Just Dropped A Truth Bomb On Gun Control Advocates Everywhere
“When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force. The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunken guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.”
Libs are still trying to grasp the first sentence with eyes glazed over.

Thanks for pointing out that gun control is inherently racist.
I see shit like this all the time, and it leads me to believe that a huge percentage of gun control folks aren’t so much against guns; they’re against a stereotype of gun owners.
They stereotype Second Amendment supporters as a bunch of rural folks in “flyover states” with pick-up trucks and shotguns and American flags, playing hard rock and country music, who believe very strongly in God and America and Supporting Our Troops. And since they all know that everyone like that must be a stupid racist redneck, in their minds, gun ownership is “racist culture.”
It’s why they blue screen when Second Amendment supporters say that they want black people and gays and trans people and other minorities to arm themselves; that the right and ability of vulnerable people to protect themselves against oppression is the point of the Second Amendment.
As far as I’m concerned, everyone who is physically and mentally able to own a gun responsibly SHOULD. Period. No “except them blacks” or whatever.
