[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you even know how to use it?[/quote] DC requires training to get a CCW.[/quote] 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. [/quote] 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? [/quote] DP. The differences is that they are fighting to protect their fellow citizens, not trying to kill them. I'm down for a legit militia with training and central storage of weapons. National Guard lite. [/quote] There is a machine gun and ammunition in the home of virtually every Swiss citizen of military service age (18-65). Yet the Swiss somehow avoid having the crime involving guns that we have here, despite our own draconian gun laws compared to the Swiss. How do you explain this? [/quote]
