Nope. There would be 9,999 dead black folk and open carry would be expanded in Austin.If 10 thousand armed black people showed up at the capitol in Austin open carry would be illegal the next week.
Then stop saying I said shit that I didn't say... kapish?I'm not trying to misquote you. I just responded directly to your quote
It's a bad idea.Let's clarify...
Is the new law a good idea or a bad idea?
That's verging on "but her emails" diversion. Why not bring up their piss poor regulation of their electrical power system also?Texas is now moving to make it harder to vote while at the same time making it easier to obtain and carry firearms. Even driving requires some training. Apparently they think it's not necessary for guns.
"Constitutional" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Lack of Regulation seems odd for an Amendment that specifically mentions "well regulated" as part of the rationalization in enshrining the Right in the first place.
Nice strawman mixed with victimhood. No one claims all gun owners are irresponsible, but a shit ton of them are.I went through classes to obtain my CC permit. I was also in the military, where we received small arms training. Some people would still call me a "gun nut" despite doing everything legally to purchase a pistol and to be able to carry it concealed. If you consider the current laws in order to buy a pistol, must be 21 years old, pass a background check, etc. it amuses me that the uneducated think we are all walking around foaming at the mouth waiting to cap someone's ass.
That could not be farther from the truth, but again, lots of misinformation floating around. I don't frequent gun forums, as they seem to be filled with Trump-humping fucking militaristic nutjobs. But some of the reasonable manufacturer forums and Facebook pages I am on are entirely in favor of rigorous training in order to obtain such a thing as a CCW permit. Idiots that run around untrained and thinking they are now free to fire at will only make responsible gun owners look bad, and further perpetuate the myths in the minds of those already vehemently against firearms of any type.
I am 100% against Constitutional carry. I firmly believe in education and training, and weeding out those that shouldn't own a firearm. I'd like to see firearms classes be brought back into schools as an elective. Some kids never receive proper training, or even the ability to hold a gun and at least learn whether they are interested in not. It's all about education, and the education can be non-political, in fact it should be.
Apparently having their guns is more important to Texas then everyone having the right to vote and an adequate electrical grid.Then stop saying I said shit that I didn't say... kapish?
It's a bad idea.
The reasoning; people untrained, that don't know the laws regarding the use of deadly force, or have even proved proficiency with a firearm. I went through all of that to get my carry permit.
That's verging on "but her emails" diversion. Why not bring up their piss poor regulation of their electrical power system also?
Give us one reason why this is a good idea. One reason besides "my freedumbs"
So basically because we have other problems it means we can't do anything about gun violence. Got it.Really you use a country of just over 1 million people as the model to follow?
Wealthiest and most powerful? Well yes and no. Our per-capita GDP is 5th in the world, however that "most powerful" crap makes that a fucking joke. The US spends 39% of ALL military spending on the planet. We are like the man with a new $80,000 pickup in parked beside his single-wide trailer with a house full of hungry kids because he can't afford food.
We squander that wealth by spending more than the next 15 countries combined, including China and Russia. We really are a poor country, and the fact we don't have healthcare is proof. Our education system is a sick fucking joke, and the country's infrastructure is a fucking disaster.
But her emails...
But he has a gun...
Are nothing but a fucking diversion from actually admitting the country is chin deep in a cesspool, and the guns are irrelevant.
Well everyone knows that cars don't kill people, people kill people so therefore no one should have to take a test and cars should be unregulated entirely. I mean at the end of the day nothing can be done to prevent one driver from deciding to kill another driver and so it's all pointless and not even worth trying because car deaths are all due to mental health problems anyway in this country which is the real Boogeyman to go after. Am I right?I had to take a drivers exam to get my license to be on the road. Should we require gun training to prevent assholes like many in this thread from blowing my brains out because they can?
We can agree to disagree.And it's a dumbass idea because it goes against a societal norm

In 1996 Australia banned and bought back many types of guns. Gun related murder and suicide has gone down, but overall murder and suicide are rates are virtually unchanged, with suicide actually going up.

The Effects of the 1996 National Firearms Agreement in Australia on Suicide, Homicide, and Mass Shootings
Australia’s 1996 National Firearms Agreement (NFA) banned several types of firearms and resulted in the government buying hundreds of thousands of the banned weapons from their owners. This essay analyses the evidence from studies examining the effect of removing so many weapons from the community.www.rand.org
Criminals ain't going to change, and disarming honest citizens only empowers criminals. There are many self-defense uses of firearms, they just don't get the headlines, or the hysteria from anti-gun nuts.
Also, everyone is a Responsible Gun Owner™, until they do something they shouldn't; when that happens, they are immediately and retroactively disowned by the other Responsible Gun Owners™, and the denial continues.Nice strawman mixed with victimhood. No one claims all gun owners are irresponsible, but a shit ton of them are.
Cool story bro, keep on crying about how the "uneducated" feel about your guns.Goddamn you're dense lol.

Indeed. In a perfect world, you would need to walk around armed to the teeth according to these people. They basically want society to look like something out of mad max or an old western.Imagine wanting to carry a gun to go grocery shopping, and thinking, this is the advancd civilization we aspire to be.
What a bunch of shit eating douchenozzles these people are.
If we ban all guns, it'll solve the economic and mental health issues that create almost all gun violence.
Just look at how banning drugs has worked.
Keep on keepin' on.
Hopefully sometimes in 2022, SCOTUS will rule that being able to be armed in public is a right and not a privilege, i am looking at you California and New York.
Seriously. If this guy would just move to Alabama to be with his people, we'd all be better off. He doesn't belong in a more advanced state like NYFuck you nutjob!
