    The reality of gun control

    Are you referring to something being used by private citizens to intentionally kill other private citizens? Just attempting to stay within the context of this discussion.

    The reality of gun control

    Is that the weapon of choice of mass murderers? Those weapons aren't as deadly as assault rifles; probably the reason they aren't the weapon of choice for whack-job mass murderers. For me, handguns make a ton more sense for self-defense than the AR-15.

    I recognize demand has significantly increased since last year which will impact the bottom line..but I also recognize the highest oil price increases probably occurred since March....I guess we'll see how this impacts profits. According to this article, oil companies have experienced some...

    The reality of gun control

    I would stop the sale and make it illegal to carry and offer voluntary buybacks. IMO, trying to collect these weapons would be a debacle and mission impossible. This isn't difficult. The bottom line for me - enough folks and especially children have been mass-murdered with these weapons that...

    Smartest people in the room propose another ignorant idea

    One point was there are times govt makes laws to correct untenable situations....like child labor laws. And I never said additional costs weren't incurred with these legislations, but they were needed to correct some real societal problems created by industry. Another separate and unconnected...

    That's fair....wages have gone up...the same with health insurance and other employee benefits. And the price of materials have certainly increased. But those are within the norm for all businesses today. Not sure staffs have significantly increased...or if there are new expenses tied to...

    The reality of gun control

    There are 21 reasons in Uvalde, 28 at Sandy Hook, 61 at Vegas, etc, etc, etc. Below is a list from 2012-2019...doesn't include assault rifle mass shootings in '20, '21 and '22. The 2019 Jersey City, New Jersey shooting The Midland-Odessa interstate shooting in Texas in 2019 The 2019 Dayton...

    Smartest people in the room propose another ignorant idea

    It's not unusual for govt to step in when business practices begin negatively impacting the population. That's why we have child labor laws, antitrust laws, clean air and water legislation, collective bargaining laws, banking regulations etc. I'm sure when those laws/legislation were...

    The reality of gun control

    I mentioned using rifles to overthrow the govt was a reach in light of the weapon systems the govt has at its disposal.

    The reality of gun control

    There's plenty of Afghanistan threads. Throw this trash into one of those. SOS... any discussion concerning any new reg, law or impacting a class of weapon/ammunition = disarming.

    The reality of gun control

    Perhaps we should share this with Remington. Didn't they just pay Sandy Hook victims $73 million for their marketing?

    The reality of gun control

    Attempting to figure out who's post is less relevant to our discussion of gun ownership in America - yours or KY Jelly. Since you posted twice about Afghanistan, I'm guessing yours is twice as irrelevant? DEFLECTION!!

    The reality of gun control

    Now, I understand why some here have been upset about our aid to Ukraine. Hell, they don't NEED stingers, javelins, artillery, switch drones, air defense systems and aircraft to fight the Russian army! All one really NEEDS is a semi automatic assault rifle with a 30-round clip to fight a...

    Smartest people in the room propose another ignorant idea

    Now, that's what I'm talkin' about. Let's give the oil companies another tax cut. It's a sure-fire way to bring down the cost of a gallon of gas. You know our oil companies will pass along the savings. It's a pretty nasty rumor they're that into profit maximization. Sure, libtards will say...

    We should probably lower their corporate taxes a bit more. They seem like decent guys; I'm sure they would pass along the savings to the consumer.

    The reality of gun control

    I don't know anyone who get their kicks like that. Holstered side arms are no big thing - I have friends that carry. I was just struck about the rifle inside a 7-11. Seemed stupid

    The reality of gun control

    I think the guy who needs to bring his AR-15 into a convenience store to buy his candy bar has bigger fear issues than me.

    The reality of gun control

    Personally, folks like you having those weapons don't bother me. It's just too many whack jobs get their hands on them and conduct mass murder. Perhaps responsible guys like you should offer some sort of parameters for ownership of these weapons. Perhaps a license like a driver's license...

    The reality of gun control

    You probably live in area where the folks are reasonable and handle guns responsibly - congrats. I've had Michigan militiamen enter my local 7-11 with loaded AR-15s. Apparently, they felt a bit threatened to buy their orange Gatorade in suburbia without being locked and loaded. Outside of any...
