    What?

    You don't think some of these idiots we read about haven't participated in discussions centered on gun control? You don't think they haven't trotted out the company line, "Don't punish good gun owners for the actions of bad gun owners"... until they became a 'bad gun owner' themselves?

    Specific to this incident? Or somewhat more generally?

    Beginning from stand point of where we are in agreement is better than opposition isnt it?

    think about it.

    the gun store should theoretically be the safest place on earth. nobody goes there except people who are proficient with the basics of how to safely use a gun.

    or does this prove my point that there should be basic gun control steps taken?

    You're implying that it's inevitable that all gun owners are going to kill someone. That's pretty nearsighted and ridiculous.

    Fuck your guns, shove them up your ass and pull the trigger. You are too fucking stupid to have kids, and damn sure not responsible for a deadl weapon. I hope you fry and rot in hell. ENOUGH IS FUCKING ENOUGH.

    THIS ISNT AN ACCIDENT!!!!!!!! ITS AN EVENTUALITY.

    So I'm going to go fire some guns at a range in a couple of weeks. I figure I should know what it's like if I'm going to debate against being a gun nut. I am not into it - i feel no curiosity about what it is like to use a deadly weapon at all to be honest - but a friend convinced me I ought to try it if I feel strongly about the subject and want to speak against gun culture. I dunno... it'll be weird and TBH i feel a little guilty fornsome reason. Like I'm helping to propagate the culture. Strange. But it'll be educational, definitely. Know thine enemy, so to speak.

    It's like republicans caught in gay affairs. They are also just knowing the enemy.

    It's nothing special. People who love it are nuts. They have to be having Rambo fantasies or something, otherwise I don't see what the big deal is at all. I grew up shooting (Boy Scouts and with family) and it is so overrated it isn't funny.

    Don't be surprised if you really enjoy yourself. I have taken many people shooting for their first time before and now they have 10x more guns than me. If you want to take it seriously and are looking to shoot well, try to relax and control your breathing. Its hard because you will be amped up, trust me on that one. Match up your back sights w/ your front sight and don't jump on the trigger. Pull the trigger with a smooth consistent trigger pull.
    Now of course none of that crap matters if you get yourself into a gun fight….

    I wonder how many times had one of these two idiots argued against gun control citing responsible ownership to make their case?

    It's always someone else. Until it's not.

    Gun store incident demonstrates many gun owners mentality.

    "Come and Take it"

    "Don't tread on Me".

    "I Don't call 911 call smith and Wesson".

    As to shooting guns, yeah gives many sense of empowerment. Instant gun muscles. Unfortunately it's these exact folks that shouldn't have guns. Oh well the foolishness will continue.

    They were saying how ridiculous it was to kill someone over money.......especially such a small amount. Too many people who shouldn't own guns do. There should be more education and training mandates for new gun owners.

    Things along that line.

    I have no idea what that is supposed to mean, lol. Sounds like you are saying perhaps I'm in the closet about being a gun nut, lol.

    Both. A lot of gun owners agree with much of what is greenly the outcome of our discussions about guns on AMT.

    Changes should be made. Too many people who shouldn't have guns do.
