I'm carrying a gun - Am I looking for trouble?

[Teddy B 17,252]

Thanks to all who replied here.

The main issue I saw was folks said ccw holders should be better screened and/or trained. My question is, do you want the government having the authority to say who can and cant be privately armed?

Im also wondering how everyone is against a poll tax (and showing ID) when voting but has no issue with creating a database of ownership and licensing for the right to bear arms. Why the double standard?

Yes, I want the gov't to have the authority to say who can be armed. in a lot of states, they already do to a certain point. When it comes to public safety and guns, I'll take my chances with govco over the gun nuts.

I'm in favor of voter id laws.

They should be able to use something. Every one should have access to some form of ID. Maybe this is what all the pushback is from.

From what I have seen the pushback has been two three things:

1. IDs cost money. So most of the states implementing this law have said fine, people can get IDs for free that can be used to vote.

2. Transportation to get the IDs.

3. There is no reason for it, since voter fraud is practically non-existent.

You need an ID for almost everything. I can't imagine not having access to one form of acceptable ID.

NAACP

ACLU

Democrat Party

Eric Holder

Barack Obama

Why would you need transportation to vote in the precinct where you live only?

Voter fraud is under reported. See above.

What other rights do you want the government to be in charge of? Im continually amazed people want the government to control any rights at all. Why?

Isn't that the whole point of these rights? To have a government, but limit it's powers The judicial branch is part of the government. isn't it?

Without the govt., where am I gonna get my cheese?

[slim 1,533]

I guess that's what it's all about. Without the government, how would we know what we're allowed to do?

Anarchy sounds like a great idea, but it lasts about 30 seconds. Even the OWS folks started forming committees and creating rules as soon as the lady with the clipboard showed up.

I just sent my 15 year old niece the book Animal Farm in Thai. I'm wondering if she'll get the meaning of it, or think it's just a funny book about pigs running the show.

For now, I'll be fine with just the guns, that appears to be the only part of the constitution that gives below average intelligence people the right to walk around with my life in their hands. I'm not sure what it's going to take for you gun nuts to realize that every citizens right to live and breathe is more important than your right to play cowboy.

I'm continually amazed at how many of you believe the boogeyman is real.

[slim 1,533]

Youve never looked the boogey man in the face, have you?

I don't believe in the boogeyman, so no I haven't looked him in the face. Have you? If so what did he look like and did he say anything to you?
