when Trump showed up. Moral of the story is that don't invite people running for POTUS to your convention.

Demanded this per the link.

Mmn, nothing like you posting information that you do not bother to read.

That would have been a good question.

They obviously worry that they might be attacked wherever they go. How sick is that?

Anyone who feels unsafe without a weapon should be disqualified from owning one on that basis alone.

the knife I carry isn't really a weapon, although the Secret Service and TSA might disagree. It looks something like this.

You hold the handle and punch with both "razors" out. That's how it works, right?

Sitting static in a holster a gun isn't anymore of a weapon than a pool noodle.


This it the knife I carry 100% of the time these days...

That the secret service did not allow pocket knives around a presidential candidate.

what are our politicians so afraid of that they cant even leave their house with out an armed bodyguard? don't they know a gun is more likely to be used against you if you're ever attacked.

I would've added more, personally, but it wasn't mine to write.

... then give a mocking laugh and say "those paranoid idiots think we're coming for their guns".



You reap what you sow. Your side put "assault weapons" front-and-center 25 years ago and now there are several hundreds of thousands, if not millions, are produced and sold per year because people informed themselves on the issue and embraced, rather than shunned, semi-automatic rights with detachable magazines and modern ergonomic features. Your side got the exact opposite of what you wanted.

Along the way they learned how your side thinks of guns and gun owners and what you plan was reduce gun violence. Your side looks to Australia's gun-confiscation in the 90's and California's oppressive and ineffectual regulatory system as beacons of progress.

So in one sense they're not paranoid; you're really coming for their guns. Their ability to buy new guns and their ability to keep their current guns.

Of course some of them are lunatics. The Branch Dildonians are one example, and those idiots in "militias" are another. And some of your side are so terrified of guns they panic at the thought that, maybe, somebody, somewhere, will get into an elevator with them while carrying licenced concealed pistol.

The social and economic agenda of progressives will so far more to cut crime, cut murder, and cut suicide than any gun control law. But making guns the focus is preventing it from getting done because it puts Republicans in the Federal and State legislatures and executive offices.

Again, you wind up getting the opposite of what you want, abdr we're all the worse for it.

They so, so, so, want to sound tough on guns and gun owners, but don't know jack shit about the issues and show it frequently in their posts and comments.

To repeat my point from years ago that still holds true ...

Gun control people are benevolently ignorant on the facts of the issues.

Pro 2nd people, on the other hand, are malevontly well informed on the issues.

Hmmmm. Maybe that's why they still can't get anything done after 20 years in the wilderness.

So it seems voting GOP is just fine with some DU folks, as long as they are sufficiently anti 2nd amendment.

"... or those politicians on both sides of the aisle who corruptly take their blood money for a favorable NRA "score."

That's not a nice thing to say. But Skinner has his hands full these days policing the primary battles.

Except I knew for a fact one of the senior VP's had a gun in his vehicle and I know of two people who took loaded firearms, in their purses, (yes these were females), into the workplace. Their reasoning? "If someone goes nuts, I'd rather be fired for breaking the policy and defending myself than getting shot in a cowering position".

Anyone who personally knows me knows I keep my mouth shut. About that, I kept it doubly shut.
