Right, because there is zero difference between a gun and a nuclear bomb.

Seriously, come up with some new schtick, because I can’t even…..

Come back when you shoot your kid coming in late.

That's one thing that will never happen in my house.

Yes, because you will be tied up at gun point while your house is being robbed. Shoot your kid - what a dbag you are. Great argument argument. I’m getting my CCW after reading your post.

Spite gun purchases. Do you always buy deadly weapons when you get emotional?

Reminds me of when gun owners go on a shopping spree right after a mass shooting. How many guns were sold after Sandy Hook or Vegas?

It is fascinating, this legend in their own mind thinking. They fancy themselves being good guys with a gun. (Spoiler: They are not).

I’m definitely not a legend in my own mind. I’m 5’3” and weigh 118 lbs and I don’t want to be raped, strangled or maybe beaten to death by a man who could be twice my size and 3 or 4 times stronger than me. I don’t “fancy myself” being able to physically resist or stop someone so much larger and stronger than me.

Serious question (assuming you’re also female) - do you think you could stop a man from attacking you? I can’t. If you think you can, what makes you believe that? Why are you so much more capable than I am?

Do you think you can stop a man from taking your gun from you and using it on you?

I actually do believe I can stop a man from taking my gun and using it on me. And in the unlikely event he’s able to get possession of my gun after being shot perhaps a dozen times, it will be empty by then. I suppose he might try and pistol whip me with it, but I suspect he’ll be too busy exsanguinating by that point.

Well, let's hope you don't mistakenly shoot someone because you were afraid they were coming for you and you had a gun, but actually they were not coming for you. And let's also hope, if someone does come for you and you have your gun, that they don't take your gun from you and use it on you. And let's also hope that your gun isn't used by you or a loved one in an act of anger or despair. It's quite a needle to have to thread. Which is why I feel safer not having a gun. I don't like those odds.

So you don’t buy a gun. OP buys a gun. Now everyone is happy. Seems simple enough.

Everyone is not happy, though, because OP's gun endangers all of us, including those of us without guns.

As it stands, the criminals in this city know that most of us are sitting ducks.

We have no stop and frisk and don't even pull over cars without license plates, so they can carry illegal and rob with impunity. There is ZERO effort to stop this from city leadership.

More people like OP will make the criminals think twice before they stick a gun in your face.

Prevalence of guns is very high in the hood compared to NW. Yet chance of armed robbery is also much higher in the hood. If criminals targeted those without guns then they would be mugging people in NW more than EoTR.

Guess you’re wrong. It sure doesn’t seem like gun fetishists think things through very well.

Did you miss the point that more of this crime happens in bad areas EoTR? Even with crime spreading to “nice” areas, the VAST majority of it happens in bad neighborhoods. It’s not even close.

How many people have you shot while being attacked?

Still waiting to hear about PP’s experience shooting during an attack.

Such a stupid argument from a stupid person.

If it was one or a million stickups EOTR, I still had a gun in my face in NW and had the choice to either surrender my wallet and phone or take one between the eyes.

The PP’s fear of common sense laws is irrational.

Not nearly so irrational as pretending violent criminals aren’t preying on people every day, and it’s just a matter of time until it’s your turn. I would rather face that sort of situation armed.

You are free to choose to face it unarmed. That’s your choice. But you don’t get to choose for me, too.

I don't have an issue with people having guns. I have an issue with people not pushing for better safety measures that will reduce gun violence.

As a gun owner I support laws that would actually contribute to reducing gun violence - prosecution of EVERY straw purchase, mandatory minimum sentences for drug dealing, robberies, sexual assaults or carjackings committed with a gun, making drive-by shootings punishable by life in prison or the death penalty if an innocent bystander is killed. That would be a good start.

I do not support most of the cliched “common sense” gun control measures often bandied about here because those laws are mostly aimed at punishing people like me by greatly restricting the types of guns I’d be permitted to own, rather than deterring actual crime. There’s nothing common sense about that, unless your goal is just eliminating gun ownership on an installment basis.

None of these take away your rights or restrict the types of guns you'd be permitted to own:
https://www.bradyunited.org/the-brady-plan
https://www.bradyunited.org/legislation/code-of-conduct-act

What are your issues with these specific proposals?

I’m fine with Points 1 and 2…. It immediately goes off the rails after that at Point 3, banning “assault weapons” and standard sized magazines. Without even getting into a debate about what the exact definition of an “assault weapon” is, their proposal would outlaw about 80% of all rifles. So clearly, it would drastically restrict the types of guns a person could own.


So, either you’re an outright liar, since you KNOW this proposal would ban at least 80% of rifles in the US, OR, you never even read it for yourself.


Which are you? Liar, or woefully uninformed?

Here’s the difference between you and I:

I don’t live in this weird state of fear and paranoia that I am going to be attacked by strange, large men. Because that just isn’t something that is likely to happen.

But you live in a state of fear and paranoia that someone else’s registered gun is going to kill you?

Well, no. I am merely ridiculing you for your absurd way of thinking.

That's the primary consideration, of course. Making sure you're able to buy as many guns, of whatever type, as you want, whenever you want. Your freedom to buy and own guns is more important than my freedom to go places without fear of people wielding guns.

There are plenty of places of public accommodation that restrict non-criminals like the OP and others in this thread from carrying guns into them. Various stores, restaurants, theaters, hospitals, government buildings, schools, Metro, etc. Certainly enough places for you to spend your entire day isolated and secured from people who already posed exactly ZERO danger to you.


Of course, the actual armed criminals - the people who DO pose a danger to you - they’re absolutely undeterred by such trivial things as laws. But hey, at least you’re safe from the people who were never going to hurt you to begin with, so…

Libraries, for example? You seem to believe that the only people who ever shoot anybody anywhere, ever, are people who were already convicted criminals before they did the shooting. Unfortunately, that's not true.

https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/video-released-of-shooting-that-killed-special-officer-during-training-exercise-in-dc-library/3422274/

Clearly, DC library police should be vetted at least as well as CCW permit applicants. And this shooting is why. How this idiot managed to stay on then force long enough to become a Lieutenant is testament to how low the standards for these police are. We’d be safer with random citizens with permits. They’ve at least been vetted.

I actually do believe I can stop a man from taking my gun and using it on me. And in the unlikely event he’s able to get possession of my gun after being shot perhaps a dozen times, it will be empty by then. I suppose he might try and pistol whip me with it, but I suspect he’ll be too busy exsanguinating by that point.

So… you ARE a legend in your own mind. I mean, you clearly have an active fantasy life.

Your ad hominem personal attack-snark is getting tiresome. If all you have to contribute to this thread is the belittling of others, I invite you to leave.

Or what? You’re going to shoot me?

You have mental issues. A gun isn’t going to fix that.

It is fascinating, this legend in their own mind thinking. They fancy themselves being good guys with a gun. (Spoiler: They are not).

I’m definitely not a legend in my own mind. I’m 5’3” and weigh 118 lbs and I don’t want to be raped, strangled or maybe beaten to death by a man who could be twice my size and 3 or 4 times stronger than me. I don’t “fancy myself” being able to physically resist or stop someone so much larger and stronger than me.

Serious question (assuming you’re also female) - do you think you could stop a man from attacking you? I can’t. If you think you can, what makes you believe that? Why are you so much more capable than I am?

Here’s the difference between you and I:

I don’t live in this weird state of fear and paranoia that I am going to be attacked by strange, large men. Because that just isn’t something that is likely to happen.

But you live in a state of fear and paranoia that someone else’s registered gun is going to kill you?

Well, no. I am merely ridiculing you for your absurd way of thinking.

Or more to the point, it isn’t the someone has a registered gun that is alarming. What’s alarming is the bravado about it. That’s derangement and deranged people shouldn’t be armed.

I think that you’re still more likely to shoot yourself or your kid than a bad guy, but if you go through a basic personal and household sanity check and a permitting process, get training and acknowledge that you’re responsible if anyone in your household who commits a mass shooting, I’m fine if you have a gun. Have 10 guns. People like you occasionally going postal or killing your spouses might be the price of freedom.

But it irritates me when very obvious loons who could have never joined a well-regulated get guns.

It also irritates me when we see that NRA became part of Putin’s effort to infiltrate the United States, the gun lovers are the kind of people who try get the United States to shaft Ukraine, and to that most of this thread is probably managed by bots or sock peppers trying to help Putin win WWIII.

We have a right to bear arms to protect us from people like Trump and Putin, and then it turns out that a lot of gun owners are fine with a Putin Trump takeover the United States.

Compared with the fact that gun ownership is now part of an effort to destroy the United States, the suicides, spouse killings and occasional mass shootings are a minor nuisance.

And none of them belong in the home. They are weapons of war, came as tanks and hydrogen bombs.

Right, because there is zero difference between a gun and a nuclear bomb.

Seriously, come up with some new schtick, because I can’t even…..

Come back when you shoot your kid coming in late.

That's one thing that will never happen in my house.

Yes, because you will be tied up at gun point while your house is being robbed. Shoot your kid - what a dbag you are. Great argument argument. I’m getting my CCW after reading your post.

Do you think you can stop a man from taking your gun from you and using it on you?

I actually do believe I can stop a man from taking my gun and using it on me. And in the unlikely event he’s able to get possession of my gun after being shot perhaps a dozen times, it will be empty by then. I suppose he might try and pistol whip me with it, but I suspect he’ll be too busy exsanguinating by that point.

So… you ARE a legend in your own mind. I mean, you clearly have an active fantasy life.

Your ad hominem personal attack-snark is getting tiresome. If all you have to contribute to this thread is the belittling of others, I invite you to leave.

Or what? You’re going to shoot me?

You have mental issues. A gun isn’t going to fix that.

It is quite apparent to anyone following your contributions over the last 17 pages where the mental issues reside.

Personally, I’d like you to continue posting stuff like this - and other similarly veiled threats - because it’s doing a fantastic job of illustrating your character. You’re representing anti-gun people fabulously as far as I’m concerned.


Carry on.

See, toots, now you are just embarrassing yourself and conflating posters. I didn’t post at all until about page 12 or 13.

It’s so painfully obvious you are not a responsible gun owner. You are a delusional one. Responsible gun owners don’t take to forums to prattle on the way you have with weird bravado and pronouncements about how you would use your gun in these fantasy scenarios that clearly play in your mind every day. You sound like a 7 year-old boy who dreams of being a soldier or something.

People like you, who was so performative about it all and so strident, tend to piss their pants in a live fire situation. Been there, seen that, it ended tragically.

If you’re that concerned about TrumPutin taking over the US, then don’t you owe it to yourself, your family, and the rest of the country who opposes that sort of thing (me among them) to arm yourself and be ready to resist such a thing?


What was the very FIRST thing Ukraine did when the Russians invaded?

They gave away hundreds of thousands of fully automatic AK-47’s to anyone who stood in line to get one.


Ukrainians are courageous. They armed themselves to resist Putin. Shouldn’t you be willing to do the same?
