That maybe one of your dumbest and most illogical comment, to date. You're beginning to rival IM2 with your illogical bias against firearms and the 2A. Seriously... you might be the same guy at this point.
Your concession is duly noted. Who do you think the "Man Card" ad is aimed towards?
Again, you want it to be a industry gun store thing because you don't want to be wrong. Therefore you latch onto conjecture and hyperbole.
Nope, I look at how an industry conducts itself... and judge accordingly.
Again, you have no proof that the "Gun Industry" want guns in the hands of crooks. None. You're postulating conjecture because you can't be wrong.
Oh, I'm wrong all the time, it's how I get to right. Like, I used to vote Republican until I realized they were full of shit.
But here's how I know the gun industry is complicit. If they weren't, they'd change their practices.
When some maniac poisoned Tylenol back in the 1980's, the manufacturer changed how they did packaging to prevent tampering, and the entire industry followed.
When some people started using antihistamines to make Crystal Meth, the industry insisted on tough standards for selling it.
When the gun industry sees maniacs using their products to mow down schoolchildren and parade-goers, they fight like hell against even the most sensible precautions to keep them out of the hands of maniacs.
As the Good Book says, "By their works you shall know them".
The 2A along with state constitutions support and reinforce our rights to bare (sic) arms with strong historical evidence (that you have tried to refute time and time again). That doesn't mean someone like YOU should carry a gun, because not all men are created equal and if something were to happen inside this country that real men need to standup and fight for, we don't need some men pissing their pants.
I was in the Army for 11 years.... I've done more to defend this country than you ever will. You need to get your Man Card reissued, apparently.
We are not safer because assholes can buy guns. Quite the contrary, we are in more danger because of the crazy opinion that the Militia Amendment gives everyone the right to BEAR arms.
