Like is it in their fantasy for it to one day be legal for anyone to open-carry automatic rifles whenever and where ever?
My question is where do gun nuts draw the line? Like when it comes to open carry, what rules should it have? Should it have no rules? Like some dumb redneck carrying a gun into a bar til 2 AM is okay? Anyone should be allowed to do that?
As usual republicans struggle with nuance when it comes to political issues they are obsessed with. For example, cons will likely reply to this thread and start making the ridiculous claim that I think the 2nd amendment should be overturned. I don't. I also don't think semi-automatics should be illegal. I support laws that are designed to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. I also think open carry is ridiculous.
It doesn't really matter if I say all of that though. In their minds I'm a "snowflake" that is outraged over boys playing with toy guns. I'm nothing but a naive, pretentious "libtard" with a Gender's Studies degree who thinks guns are evil. Cliche is something easy for republicans to grasp I guess.
You obviously are posting from emotion and irrationality because you are not posting from any form of knowledge about gun ownership in this country.
About 40 states allow carrying guns in places that serve alcohol, you simply can't drink when you are there.....also, last year Virginia passed the law allowing concealed carry in bars...and their crime rate in bars went down 5.7%.......
So, that was the first point you don't understand.
We already have rules governing every aspect of gun ownership.......if you use a gun to break the law you are arrested....that is the only real law that we need, and if that one law was enforced with a long prison sentence, our gun crime rate would go down a lot...
More truth for you.....
in the 1990s we had 200 million guns in private hands, and in 1997 4.7 million people carried guns for self defense.....in 2016 we now have 357-400 million guns in private hands and 15 million people carrying guns for self defense......and our gun murder rate went down 47%........
Our gun accident death rate went down....our non fatal gun accident rate went down......
We already have the laws we need, Americans are the most responsible gun owners in the world...we just need to deal with our criminals more effectively.
