    My personal favorite take from the 2As is that ‘well regulated’ used to mean ‘well supplied’ so we shouldn’t put regulations on weapons because we should stick with what the Founding Fathers meant. Then they’ll say that we should use the modern day definition of ‘arms’ because the Founding Fathers were looking into the future and wanted us to keep innovating.

    I’d like to think that even the guys who were raping their slaves daily would be a tad upset about school kids being massacred.

      The gun nuts have made it perfectly clear they’re not willing to budge on any legislation. It’s going to get to the point where their opposition totally adopts the polar opposite viewpoint of just taking them all away.

      I’m there already, fuck guns. I’ve lost all sympathy for their arguments about “home safety” and “keeping the government in check” (fuckin LOL at that one). They should be illegal and anyone caught with one automatically sentenced to 10 years. I think harsh penalties and zero tolerance are our only options since the gun lobbies won’t even consider anything reasonable. They backed us into this position and this is going to keep happening until we do something meaningful about it.

        Some people live way out in the woods and need to defend themselves from bears, moose and to hunt for food. Bolt action, shotguns and revolvers should be acceptable. This blanket ban all guns rhetoric from people is incredibly nieve and comes from sheltered city people. Guns are a tool and they have their place. Ones designed for killing people do not belong.

    This wouldn’t happen in an open carry…hmm “Nevada has no laws prohibiting open carry of firearms in the state. Nevada state law does not require the registration of firearms.”…hmmm

      UNLV is a gun free zone. Looks like another failed application of gun control.

        If only YOU were there, right? You’d have stopped them with your gun that wears a superhero cape!
