4. Because I think majority of gun owners don't give a crud about society; majority are racists; those

who buy lots of guns and carry in public are basically polluters; the majority are not much better than Zimmerman or the police we see killing unarmed teenagers; those that say they are "responsible gun owners," really aren't; unless we take actions like other civilized countries, things will get worse and we will see more Bundy Ranch Militia types and open carriers intimidating people; too many gunners profit from them and promote proliferation of guns in society; etc. While I'm sure there are a few exceptions to my beliefs, I don't see a lot of them, hence my use of the term "majority."

I expressed my opinion in the RKBA Forum, and refused to recant to those who were offended.

I don't get too concerned about people who have a gun or two at home for hunting and maybe self-defense, but leave them there. But the majority of gun fanciers don't.


In summary, I think we could do with less of this crud.














And just to head off one of your, and other gunners', usual responses -- I realize nothing above is illegal. But, it ought to be, and it is immoral and is becoming more and more like walking around with a confederate flag or swastika
. Whine if you want to, but you asked.

Does that help you? So, your turn -- Why do you have so many guns, promote them, carry guns, and the like?
