I don't claim to know this storeowner. You might.

Alright! Now hold it right there, why do you have to pull the "Car Salesperson" card!!

I'm just say'n...

Personally, I don't know anyone named Bubba. You must be stereotyping - how very narrow minded of you. You really should expand your mind a little- try to be liberal for God's sake.

Like I said before, if we Bubba type Americans are so disgusting to you, please feel free to go on up to Canada.

Hey, it’s not because somebody wants to go to the United States that the United States will let them in. Ditto with Canada. They don’t accept Americans trying to get in with guns, and they are restrictive about the others. Tell them you want to go live there forever, and you’ll stay south of the border. If you’re Mexican and tell a U.S. Border agent you’re coming in to stay, he won’t let you in. You’ll have to sneak in through the fence. So forget about my going to Canada, it can’t be done. (Gun-toting nitwits have funny ideas about a lot of things.)

So far as guns are concerned, I have read more reports of children finding guns at home and shooting one another than I have of people successfully defending themselves from an attacker. I have also read reports of drunk neighbors getting shot trying to get into the wrong house. Guns can cause more trouble than they’re worth. The Second Amendment was adopted in 1791, long before you could pick up a phone and call the cops. It’s obsolete and even ridiculous.

So far as my right to bear arms not being infringed, my right to bear arms is infringed each time I go to the State Capitol or a courthouse or the airport. In fact, more than my right to bear arms is infringed each time I go to the airport. My right to take a bottle of water or even a nail file is infringed, all that so I can be protected from the nuts with guns.

Mapleleaf, your points are valid and yes even the best of intentioned gun owners end up as the victims of the business end of what it is they're trying to maintain. Guns and self defense to many Americans run hand in hand and I would agree that a reasoned mind and being physically capable of protecting one's self would negate the overwhelming majoity of gun instances.

Those of us who fervently support the right of gun ownership would agree that many Americans simply do not possess the mental acumen of gun ownership. Laws can restrict the law abiding among us from gun ownership, but those same laws are ignored by the criminal element within our society. When those bad guys are stripped of gun ownership, then come talk to me.

I am a gun owner--just in case. I learned to shoot them once upon a time and can still do it.
I never carry them away from the home unless for practice. No even in the auto.
I have yet in a long life needed a gun to shoot someone. (well, other than military) I do prescribe to the theory however, that if you pull your gun, have a target in mind and use it immediately. Just exactly like fist fighting, immediately get a two by four board and really thump them. Don't let some bozo beat on you!

I'm not sure what you are saying although it is in the usual military formation of: some for this and some for that.

Should we demand that all good citizens (you pick them, I suppose) be properly trained to use them so as not to get shot themselves, maybe?

It ain't never worked for several to have something that everyone wants! Earned or unearned!
Be they guns, money, clothes, women, religion, whiskey, beer, food, autos, pensions, health care, and children!

Gathering up the guns is exactly like gathering up the 40 million illegals--can't and won't be done!

That is the liberal way.

People only fear what they have no knowledge of. Instead of taking an NRA safety class, and becoming educated it is easier to call people bubba.

I just want to let you know that you are not alone in your views about guns.

I share your views and many others do also.

You will not win any arguments with the gun lovers on this site. They are absolute believers in the NRA propaganda. Guns are like a religion to them--a matter of absolute faith.

They are convinced that Obama will show up soon, knocking on their doors to confiscate their guns. Could happen any day after January 20, 2009.

They are afraid to go to WalMart, Target, their favorite restaurants, or any park without their trusty six-shooter with them.

They live in a sub-culture of fear that most of can not understand. They think that the rest of the community wants them to be Clint Eastwoods and save us from the evil-doers.

They have a fantasy life which most of us do not share.

So thanks for your posts. I am glad to have you as part of our community.

..absolutely believe everything the NRA says. (I'm not a member)

..pray to guns.

..believe that President elect Obama will be knocking at my door.

..worry about shopping where ever I want. (Within reason)

..live in a sub-culture of fear.

..have a fantasy life.

But I do...

..own guns.

..believe in the right to keep and bear arms.

..believe they're some that wish to take my guns.

..believe they're some that wants us all to conform to their beliefs.

So if I'm a Bubba because I want to keep my guns then, so be it. Call me "Bubba Cy" and I'll keep my guns.

Wow, you 2 sound so whiney/liberal like. Good for you. I'm glad you don't want to have the ability to protect your own lives or the lives of your family members if you have any.

Please, please, please, put signs on your property that declare your homes gun free zones. I want our poor little criminals (oooooppppps I mean our "differently specially, challenged" little people who don't want to work for a living), to know that your homes are safe to break into. I don't want our poor little criminals to be afraid of you. Please do everything you can to help them out.

If you lose a couple of people you love in the process....you know at least you have the comfort of knowing how liberal and smart you are not to own a gun for self-defense. That alone should give you comfort.
In order to further the "theory of evolution" the Darwin Society is giving away "Gun Free Zone" signs to every liberal who whines for one.
