Guns and guns and guns and guns!
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

Just wrong. Pepsi and anything, unless you are devilishly thirsty.
Am really enjoying dabbling in various local specialty gins.

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
I've learned more about Obama from my Alabama kin, today. It turns out he's both a "monster" and an "idiot," and the next mass shooting will be "on him." He also apparently needs to be impeached immediately, and it's also apparently insane and an embarrassment that it hasn't been done already.

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
Did you point out he isn't going to take anyone's guns and will actually just...... gasp...... make gun dealers register and make background checks better?

I didn't point out shit. Pointing's a good way to get shot.

Pointing a gun, on the other hand, is a good way to get shit.

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
So can't anyone explain why it's a bad thing to check who is buying and selling guns?

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
It's all about the slippery-slope argument.
"Now look: They start putting restrictions and regulations on how and when I can access weapons, and next thing you know, they'll start restricting what kind of weapons I can access. At that point, it's only a small step toward banning high-caliber weapons and restricting the use of handguns. Once we've reached that point, they're gonna push it even further and outlaw guns altogether. And then the government can use the military to do to us whatever they want."
Or something like that.

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
It also has to do with what they genuinely believe to be their constitutional right. Granted, their belief in this having this right thanks to personal interpretation of what some have argued is vague language. This is why I think it is good to leave less and less room for interpretation. Since I'm a selfish bastard, of course, I want the lessening of this room to work in my favor.
I know people from Alabama with no preexisting interest in guns who have bought them for reactionary reasons. They were led to believe the government didn't want them to have guns, so they went out and bought them. Out of spite.

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
My father has also seeming become more interested in them in a reactionary manner. There were two guns in the house up until a couple of years ago, when the hard right became convinced Obama was coming for them. Now there are a scary number of weapons and ammunition in their basement...

Most of them (at least fourteen of them) are in Jubbers's youngest brother's room, in fact. He's a high schooler. He's sleeping at night with rifles and shotguns propped up against his bedroom wall. Are they loaded? I dunno. I hope not.

Wilbur and Hank with their semi-auto AR-15s vs. Seal Team Six. I know who I would bet on!

I think in their own minds, each of them is like Rambo, so they can take on an entire military force by themselves.Dalty wrote:They know the govt has F22 Raptors right? And Abrahms tanks, and Ohio class subs, and Apache helicopters.

Either that or they managed to get their hands on a Cobra Assault Cannon.
