Gun Control & RKBA

You have to keep in mind that you and I have philosophical differences on the matter of guns. I'm going to offer a pro gun rights opinion, and you tend to argue the case for firearm restrictions. This issue aside, you and I would probably be good buddies and would probably agree on most other important issues. I have a few friends who favor gun control, one or two of which hate guns.


That Crickett rifle is marketed to adults. Specifically parents or grandparents. A guy walks into the gun shop, sees the Crickett and thinks about it being a good opportunity to spend some time outdoors with his daughter while also enjoying fond memories of learning to shoot with an old single shot or break action with his father. The kind of memories you cherish for a life time.

The gun company doesn't run ads on cereal boxes, look at their website....very boring yet responsible.

Of the forty or so people killed by police while in possession of an "imitation firearm", how many were actively attacking the police, engaged in violent crime, or setting up a suicide by cop? Probably damn near all of them...exceptions being cases like Rice and Crawford. Crawford's death was the byproduct of a swatting troll and law enforcement negligence.

A 13 year old kid was shot a week or so ago in Baltimore, he decided to car jack a retired LEO with an imitation firearm and got LEOSA'd. Sad, sure....but why the hell is a 13 year old out jacking cars? That's what I would like to fix.

I agree with you on the NASCAR comment. But I can't think of a scenario where LEO would be able to immediately ID the object, citing the people who have been shot and killed for holding a phone or reaching for a wallet. There is always spray paint too.
