(24,853 posts)Is a "gungeonite" in your opinion anyone who owns a gun, thinks the Constitution guarantees the right to own one (Notice I didn't say confers the right to own one; it merely guarantees the government cannot infringe on a right known to exist before the Constitution was written), or DOESN'T own a gun but STILL thinks the Constitution guarantees that right can't be infringed upon?
Eject those people from DU, is that right?
I joined DU BEFORE there was a daily debate about guns. Before there was an irrational fear. You can take your "eject them" bullshit and put it you know where.
Do you suffer from the fact that I own guns? Suffer? Not suffering from the absence of gun owners at DU means you think you suffer by our presence.
You and your kind will drag me protesting under the water of defeat in the next election even though I'll be doing the thing every lifeguard is trained to overcome: I'll be fighting you all the way as the weight of your bulletproof vest makes the both of us sink. You'll be wearing the vest due to an irrational fear whose odds of killing you are about the same as those of dying by being killed in an automobile accident.
I support the banning of "private transfers commercial or otherwise" and would subject each and EVERY transfer of a gun to a background check. I support size limitations on magazines. I support a law requiring the safe storage of guns AND ammo, including biometric locks. I support subjecting anyone who violates the private sale ban to the same punishment a criminal faces if their gun winds up in criminal hands and criminal acts are committed with it. I support including stolen weapons that are not reported in the previous sentence.
"ejected, lock, stock, and barrel" Fucking bullshit of the highest order.
