Gun law changes and reality

[FanTC]

Moby's right. It's different in Texas, and the South as a whole for that matter. We don't like the idea of feeding and housing criminals and giving them A/C and cable TV for years just so they can get out and do it all again and again.

As for Cleo, it looks like alcohol is the common denominator. Perhaps Florida should toss their drunks keys so they can terrorize the roads instead or do like they do in Moby's neck of the woods and give them ballots so they can vote for crackheads for mayor.

It's also different in parts of Canada, I'm from a rural area in New Brunswick where everyone has guns, long guns though, nobody has handguns. You grow up with them, hunt with them, shoot sick animals with them, but you'd never really think of using them on a person, even if you're really drunk and really pissed off.
But, if your house is broken into, the shotgun is handy and sometimes the thief gets shot. If you're the shooter you'd likely go to jail, but not for very long. Probably get more time for shooting a moose out of season.
If you shot a guy in the back though, you'd be fucked.

Florida invented the "Shoot First" so guns will be there for a long time.

Don't forget, DC usually has the highest percentage of gun deaths in the nation. It often goes back and forth between DC and Detroit but DC is a heavily armed city.

I grew up in the rural south USA where everyone had guns but nobody ever got shot. We hunted, shot tin cans and such, but that was about it. Guns are a huge part of the culture in the south, but society has changed a lot. People just seem more angry these days...at least that's my preception. Some of it is justified, but I think we are sometimes made to feel threatened by the powers that be.

If I was elected to Congress, I'd push forward a proposition stating that guns should only be owned by licensed hunters and drug dealers. No one else has a practical reason for owning one, unless, of course, the hunter gets drunk and starts shooting at you, or the drug dealer gets pissed when you ask him to please stop trying to sell drugs to your kids and raping your wife. Otherwise, I can think of very few practical reasons to own a gun.

Being a rural New Yorker is a lot like being a mid-westerner. Lots of hunters around here, people without dental plans, and even the occasional Confederate flag on some ne'er-do-well's rusty old piece of shit pick-up truck which has been burning oil for the last three years, yet somehow, mysteriously, still runs and passes state inspection. I'm not a gun person. I don't feel the need to own one, though I do sometimes wish I had one - mostly when my neighbors are being noisy and obnoxious. I do, however, feel that everyone has the right to protect their family and their person as they see fit. I don't agree with what that paranoid nutjob in Texas did. He killed two people over STUFF. Not even his fucking STUFF. He really wanted to be the neighborhood hero by taking lives to protect his neighbor's possessions. Douchebag. I bet he feels differently about that now.

Guess I'll never vote for you

Yes - I own guns and I will shot your ass if you enter my home without my permission. I still have a hole in the floor from the last time I was burglarized - shot the fuckin fridge - that will teach it to run when I shout "Freeze"

I bet that refrigerator will never try to steal from you again!

Honestly, no matter what weapon I have in hand, whether it be a pistol or a kitchen chair, if someone breaks into my home while myself and/or family are here, I'm not going to waste time on sizing up that person's intentions - I'm going to open up my mini-sized can of whoop-ass and see if I can break a bone or two before they either flee or kill me and rape my sleeping dogs. I'd much rather shoot my appliances as a stern warning than take the life of someone who wanted to steal my 10 year-old VCR or broken DVD player. (They better not touch that XBox 360! My son would kill them.)

If I witnessed someone unlawfully entering my neighbors' homes, well, that's just too bad for them. I'd call the police and probably hit the panic alarms on our cars to sort of let them know that a pussy like me is watching them from his dead-bolted house next-door. I'm not going to look for a tangle with television thieves who aren't harming anyone except the insurance company.

If the g'ment outlawed all firearms tomorrow, I wouldn't care and I'm not paranoid enough to believe that all of us/we semi-law-abiding citizens would be gathered up by gun-toting crack dealers and shot. I also don't care if they remain legal. I'm not one who cares about the true intention of this alleged Right to Bear Arms because most of the gun owners I know, excluding PapaGMP , are uber-patriots and believe every word that drips out of Bush's idiotic flapping cunt. The only way those people are going to revolt against the government is if religion, tobacco and sex with your sister is outlawed - or perhaps if an intelligent, well-spoken black man becomes president. But what's the chance of that happening?

Hell - I'm not paranoid - never carry mine even though I have a carry permit. My German wife was a completive hand-gunner and her dad trained the police in the German state of Saarland on proper handgun use. He was the only German civilian I ever knew that had a carry permit. But nothin gets a bugler out of your house quicker that a hissing radiator on the back of a dieing fridge.

And I don't give a fuck if they ban tobacco but I feel sorry for the church-fucks that try to ban me from having sex with your sister.......
