Open carry: how many guns is too many?

[vibise]

Lets trade, you allow guns if the citizen is trained in "military" fashion and you intuition the same measure of verification for every single vote cast.

My understanding is that in the military, soldiers do not carry guns around while on base. They carry guns only when on sentry or on the battlefield or during training.

 

[christ_undivided]

But requirements for gun registration and training are minimal to nonexistent in much of the country.

What little you know.... That isn't true anymore.

What national elections are decided by a few thousand votes? The last few Presidential elections had differentials of millions of votes, although the anachronistic Electoral College gives some votes more weight than others.

Like I said, a few thousand votes. I don't care if you like the Electoral College or not.

Prohibition of firearms, in the US?
When?

It's worked for us for a long time - check those murder rates again

So keep your behind in the UK

Notice how she tries to change the subject

They certainly do. Most military have concealed carry rights.

Even so, is this about training or not? You don't care if everyone is trained, you still wouldn't allow it.

Alcohol. You lack a knowledge of history.

Why do you think I asked about firearms?

"We can't ban firearms, because it didn't work with alcohol"

is an irrelevancy.

Wtong. The bottom line is human behavior, not the item

What do you think would happen if such a bsn were put to a vote?

The requirements to repeal the Second Amendment would never, ever be met.

So?
"Must be a good idea, because people want it"?

Given reports that mass murderers dress in body armor and use AR-15s,

Not all of them.

it is NOT irrational to flee when such a person enters a bakery or barbershop. And foolish to stick around.

It's rational to make the assumption they're a mass murderer?

Panic is still irrational.

That is called the will of the people

 

[Carol]

If nobody had guns, there would be no mass shootings,

Someone proficient with a crossbow could.

and nothing to protect yourself from.

"We have to have guns because all the bad guys have guns"

is a poor defence of the Second Amendment... why do all the bad guys have guns...?

 

[Carol]

Your "counter" argument reinforces his point that the people who engage in an activity (gun owners, voters) are the ones who can abuse it.

Some people abuse rights.

Let's take away everyone's rights.

 

[Eightcrackers]

Never said it wasn't.

John Wick is good with pencils.....

 

[glenlogie]

Never said it wasn't.

So you admit that you have an unpopular view

 

[Eightcrackers]

Someone proficient with a crossbow could.

Really?
How many shots do you think William Tell could get off before somebody tackled him?

Or, are we talking about a semi-automatic crossbow?

 

[Eightcrackers]

So you admit that you have an unpopular view

No point having the popular view - by definition, there are plenty of people for that.

 

[Carol]

Do you have the right to swing your arm?

I have the right to swing my arm.
I have the right to bear arms.

I do not have the right to go around punching or shooting people.

Which is a restriction, not an impingement, on the aforementioned rights.
