Gun owners living in gun control states

Exactly what kind of responses are you expecting from a thread like this? Are you trying to divide this country even further?

 

There has been mass exodus from New Your and New England into the Carolina's in recent years. You have plenty of people there to ask these questions of. Anyone lacking a southern brogue is likely from the NE, ask them. That way you get first hand face-to-face answers to your questions. Hopefully those migrating to the Carolina's are those from NE who are conservative to moderates that are tired of the strict laws and higher than Pike's Peek taxes. Good luck.

 

Japan, Australia, UK, Germany has no 2nd Amendment and no NRA. And you can only own a gun there under stringent circumstances. Somehow......must be a coincidence.......the gun homicide per capita rate is minuscule compared to the US. They don't have weekly mass shootings.

The USA gun culture is perpetuated at its core by ego driven people who think having a gun is a good thing that's going to protect them. Yet all the research shows the more guns in a society, the more unsafe it is.
My neighbor went to Las Vegas and never came back. She was shot in the head while dancing at a country music concert. Having a gun wouldn't have helped her. A law that prohibits someone owning/purchasing AR-15s might have. In Nevada it's legal to own 32 of them. Does that sound like common sense?

People flip out all the time in all societies. When someone decides they don't want to live anymore and are going to take others with them, in the USA, they have access to a gun and go from a "good guy" to a mass murderer. It happens over and over and over. Needlessly.

The 2nd amendment has no relevance to today's world and wasn't written based on private gun ownership. It's a crutch for the delusional to manipulate.
Guns are a cancer to the USA. The NRA is a cancer. Australia has had ZERO mass shootings since their gun ban. The USA and their delusional anti-factual beliefs and thoughts and prayers mentality will ensure that mass murder continues here. It's despicable.

 

Never ever will I give up my right to own firearms. On another thread months ago I went into detail about a scenario where some ass clown almost had his way with someone close to me...family. My mother stopped him dead in his tracks and he's still paying the price for trying to rape my family member. My grandfather came here in the early 1900's from Sicily and by the 1950's he was the head of the liquor board of the state of Maryland. He always said ''When the government tries to take your guns, it's time to worry''. Our right to bear arms is intended for us to fight off tyranny from our government, not for hunting or target shooting. The need for a 30 round magazine is obvious...if an angry mob is coming at you, do you want a bolt action 5 shot dear rifle or that 30 round magazine?

Nomadic, you have a right to your opinion, but I completely disagree with you.

 

Let me break this answer down, first I’m a gun owner yet my ownership is absolutely NOT driven by some gun toting ego trip so thanks for your liberal generalization. Real gun statistics not altered or manipulated to support a liberal agenda ACTUALLY show that places where legal gun ownership is supported show less gun crime. Third the world and unfortunately this country is full of crazy people who will find a way to commit they’re crimes ... gun or no gun. Have you not seen the people who were mowed down by vehicles intentionally? Evil will find a way to commit evil acts regardless of what’s available. Liberalism,socialism are the true cancer to this country AND world ! By reading your response it seems clear your infected as your able to regurgitate every mindless liberal talking point. ANY MURDER is tragic and that is truly tragic that your neighbor never came home but to truly solve senseless acts of violence people need to stop blaming the weapon and start blaming the perpetrator. Start asking why people are so driven to unspeakable acts and maybe just maybe we can begin to understand and prevent future horrors. Otherwise we’ll have to ban cars,knives,bats,hammers,sharp objects in general,anything that explodes or can be made to explode,ropes ,poisons of any kind,hands, and inevitably humans all together since libs feel taking something away is always the solution.

 

Where did you read this? Democrats only want gun control, not confisacstion.

 

They want confiscation. Just read what Nomadic posted. The politicians can't say what they really want. Just like they are now finally admitting they want socialism, but I'm not sure that will fly with the public.

 

I don't disagree Interceptor. The way I see it we are at a turning point in so many ways. We either get our house together and work towards correcting what seems too far gone to correct or we take the other turn and we're screwed for certain. The youngsters have it all wrong and the grown ups have destroyed the playing field.
