80. Gun love
Sat Apr 27, 2013, 03:38 PM
Apr 2013

This cowardly creep sounds like a lot of NRA members that I have met- brandishing a gun to threaten and intimidate others. The NRA has made sure to change gun ownership laws for felons so that pedophiles, wife beaters and murderers are legally heavily armed. What makes anyone believe that gun nuts from the NRA have a problem with thier fellow cowards using guns to threaten and intimidate others? Right wing extremists live for the rush of unlawful gun use and brandishing- The NRA ought to use this guy as thier poster boy to show how gun nuts are being picked-on for attempting to terrorize thier neighbors with thier proudly owned gun collection. Poor little gun nuts are so unfairly treated for thier murderous, violent solutions to every day problems.

That's a tad of an overreaction. octothorpe Apr 2013 #1
Sometimes those people need to park close. proud2BlibKansan Apr 2013 #13
Yeah, those are valid points... octothorpe Apr 2013 #19
I feel perfectly comfortable judging people who wave guns around in parking lots. n/t pnwmom Apr 2013 #65

The guy pulled up next to her to wave the gun, so clearly there was room to get around her Beaverhausen Apr 2013 #48

And then he drove off as she called 911--so, yeah. she *wasn't* blocking him at all! nt tblue37 Apr 2013 #126
That is the question that I had. He could have simply drove around her car. I do that often at bluestate10 Apr 2013 #160
I've had this experience. I stop to wait for someone Beaverhausen Apr 2013 #161
We don't even know why she wanted that spot. Maybe the lot was very crowded. pnwmom Apr 2013 #75

I completely agree that this guy should lose his right to own a gun. Alva Goldbook Apr 2013 #36
And I completely disagree that she was being inconsiderate. proud2BlibKansan Apr 2013 #45
I second that--he was too impatient and way over-reacting. nt raccoon Apr 2013 #100
Properly trained gun owners are "forced" to have more consideration for others? What? uppityperson Apr 2013 #57
What are you saying? That a properly trained gun owner wouldn't wait for a parking spot? pnwmom Apr 2013 #73
