re: Liberal outrage- guns were very popular gifts this year

You basically just can't have a fully automatic weapon.

Yes, you can. Class III weapon.

What if your gun is stolen from your residence and goes either unnoticed by the owner or fails to report it acs stolen. The gun then is involved in a crime that results in the death of an innocent person. Does your right to own that gun supercede the victims right to life?
If guns keep you safe, why isn't America the safest place on earth?
In a case of infidelity in a marriage. Husband purchases a gun and finds out he was right anf shoots his wife's lover and kills him. How long does it take for him to realize divorce would have been the better option instead of purchading a gun. How many people who have never committed s crime now sit behind bars thinking " I wish I would have never bought that gun." I say a lot how about you?

Our government could not withstand a rebellion by only 1% of the population with out drastic measures on a Stalin like scale and a long time to prepare.

Meh, I doubt that one percent would be unified.

That would be a rebel opposition of 3.1 million members. Our government would cease to exist within a week.

Not even close.

Long thread. Supporter of the 2nd amendment and gun owner here, but where is this liberal outrage?

Where I live police answer burglar alarms. Since according to you I must be an idiot because I don't believe everyone has the right to own a gun. Louisiana either attempted or did PASS A LAW that convicted felons had the right to buy a firearm. I believe I heard REPUBLICAN GOVRNOR BOBBY JINDL signed it into law. I heard in Texas you can carry a concealed weapon into a bar. Let's think about this men/women/alcohol/ infidelity and of course let the drunk jealous person the rigjt to walk around an entertainment establishment ready to make his point. In all fairness They did say the waitress or bartender who may consider someone to be intoxicated the right to take there fire arm from them. Wow that seems logical I guess to you but it sounds to me like freaking insanity.
In Georgia you now have the right to carry concealed guns into townhall meetings( Brilliant).
In Georgia a police officer during a traffic stop cannot ask whether you have a license for the weapon they found or seen during stop. NRA says that is infringing on that gun owners rights or maybe yours if he stole it from your house.
I would hate to live in a paranoid dillusional world that you think exist. Must be really frightening to feel like I need assault rifles and endless amounts of ammunition to be safe. I wouldn't own one if you gave it to me.
The link put up about the man shooting 2 teenage robbers that tried to run him over. I guess your logical thought process is that automobiles can kill in the hands of wrong people. I would say you are right they can but someone in an automobile can't drive into a movie theater and kill and mame 20 or 30 people ,
Again where I live police are first responders to buglar alarms and all of my merchandise would be insured against theft. So I don't see why I would need to take the law into my own hands.
I do know of a person who is serving 20 years in prison for the accidental shooting and death of his fiancee . Thought she was a burglar and was drunk and believed his abundance of guns made him safe. Today he no longer has those beliefs his life has been destroyed in a blink of an eye.

But, you are probably right I don't know enough about the subject to have an opinion. So live in constant fear and paranoia. For me common sense that I have rationalized is better than being a puppet to the NRA's beliefs.

Absolutely not what I was trying to say at all.

You continue to put forth emotionally charged reasons for why you think gun laws should be more restrictive.

I gave a specific, local example of a man whose ability to defend his life and property rested squarely on him possessing a firearm and bringing it to bear on these two people.

In this situation, you would have been free to sit around in the dark of night, defenseless, waiting for the police to arrive and protect you. No one is telling you that you MUST own a gun.

Likewise, I will remain free to protect my life, the lives of my family and my property with a gun. No amount of irrational fear ginned up by you or anyone else is going to stop me from doing so.

We will never agree on this so I will provide no further argument.

Also - paragraphs, use them.

Ya, you definitely cannot bring a concealed weapon into a bar in Texas.

Saw a film recently about a theoretical power outage in our country. This scenario could in reality happen anywhere at any time. It focused on different individuals and the predicaments they were in - the scary part was those that lived in large cities and didn't have a firearm for protection.

You mean the military that's been at war for what, 12 years? We have a lot of hands on experience. Or do you honestly believe the military would let you take what they have vested: pay and benefits, retirement, lifetime medical benefits.

Most of the current military have the same beliefs as your average gun holder. They enlisted to protect the constitution.
