I mean, if it’s a security blanket or something, whatever, although a dog would achieve the same result. But if you were ever in some situation where you felt the need to use the thing, you probably would be in more danger than if you weren’t carrying. I mean half those idiots would likely shoot themselves in the foot.

Sigh. I don’t own a gun yet I’ve shot several. If you have the mental capacity to shoot a water gun, you can shoot a firearm. It’s not that difficult....

Posts like this actually give the mental crazy gun owners ammunition (no pun intended).

What percentage of gun wounds and deaths were accidental?

Did they show up?

The only people who said white supremacists were planning to show up were the mainstream media. The same people who told us there would be bloodshed today. The same people who said two weeks ago that we'd be in world war three with China and Russia over Iran. The same people who told us we would have a historic stock market crash within days after Trump winning the election.

Those are the people who said white supremacists were coming to Richmond.

Facts!

+1 they are mad we have the right to assembly

Nope. You go and assemble as much as you want. Everyone has the right to assembly. (Including ANTIFA by the way, and the women's marchers, don't you agree?)

When you put on your brown costumes and bring your big loaded machinery with you, it makes me think you are very insecure about your manhood. That's all. You'll never convince me otherwise.

And still, 86% of Virginia voters support some gun control. Sorry fellas.

Yes, I'm proud of that bunch for carrying around assault weapons but not shooting anyone with them.

Before you get too full of yourselves, however, you might want to also acknowledge that no violence includes both sides of the debate.

Facts!

Fact - the #1 media source (doesn't get more mainstream than that!), FoxNews, reported yesterday:
"Also seen Sunday roaming the Capitol grounds was Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist behind InfoWars.

Members associated with the Light Foot Militia, some of whom were banned from Charlottesville, Va., following the deadly 2017 "Unite the Right" rally, are expected to attend Monday's protest. Richard Spencer, a prominent white nationalist, has also indicated he might make an appearance."

Here is the difference. Fox was reporting facts. Who was there... who may attend.
Other media hyped the "white supremacist" angle of this story as seen in the montage posted earlier.
The difference cannot be more stark.

I was just disputing the quote from PP:
"The only people who said white supremacists were planning to show up were the mainstream media"

Which is clearly untrue.

And FoxNews LOVES to stir up trouble, even included this quote in bold: "All of our freedoms as Americans are under attack. We have to stand up for our rights."

Um. That was the whole point of this rally. Appropriate for that quote to be highlighted.

Please explain how ALL of your freedoms as Americans are under attack? Bonus points if you can do it without sounding paranoid or hyperbolic.

Yep I support certain gun legislation, just not most of the crap the crazies try and push through. Plenty of us there support common sense gun laws. But not crap like SB16.

For a while I bought the media paranoia around this event.
