Great trigger finger discipline. They watch a lot of special ops movies. A few points off for revealing their faces, but maybe they wanted to make sure (in the pic right above) that they are clearly not the Floyd protesters they are prepared to mow down if things get out of hand.

I'm persuaded that my mother's S&W .38 may not be enough. I don't want or need an army weapon, but some kind of long gun. 

This is an unbelievable time to be an American.

And your answer to that concern is..? to disarm the people that are willing to turn in their arms?  ..Do you see the issue?

the leader in the clubhouse for "why do we need guns at all" seems to be, "because it would be such a pain in the ass to get rid of them."

This is just not a realistically likely scenario, and in the super fringe infinite-universe instances where it is, what percentage of those times will you be awake, aware and positioned just right vs an intruder?

Alternatively, what’s the likelihood that you or someone in your family faces a mental crisis and uses the gun to harm themselves or others? 10x? 100x more likely?

The home invasion justification is gun manufacturers’ marketing masturbation. It’s the ginsu knife cutting your shoe in half.

 

53% of gun deaths were suicide.

Which is why a “safe storage” law would probably cut the number of deaths more than any other single measure. Keep the guns out of the hands of other members of the household. And bonus for the gun shops - they get to sell more gun safes!

Police are useless, government is useless and in steady decline, protect yourselves. 

What is “self fulfilling prophecy.”  I’ll stick with truth behind nihilistic conservative ideas for $800, Alex.

You’re burning your UT degree, right? Since government is useless and you’re getting no utility you received from a government institution.

Pubs scream government is useless and make damn sure to self-fulfill that prophecy every time they gain an ounce of power.

basically across the street from a bunch of frats on campus. it would be like a shootout in west campus. 

Quote

"It’s just kind of been like a war zone on weekend nights," Phi Sigma Kappa President Ben Thompson told FOX 9 on Saturday. He was in bed next door when shots rang out overnight. 

"It’s been a nuisance, it’s just been kind of crazy," Thompson said.

Friday night’s shooting is only the most recent in a wave of violence neighbors say the home brings every weekend. Police dispatch data shows problems in the area almost nightly, at least 35 calls just in the last month.

"It’s just random people showing up and causing havoc," Thompson said.

Four of the surrounding frat houses say they’ve written letters asking the City of Minneapolis to take action. They’re also regularly calling the police and contacting the University of Minnesota, but they say nothing has worked.

"We’ve felt like we can’t do anything about it," Thompson said.

The university last told FOX 9 that it’s aware of the issues and deeply troubled by what is happening. It’s their understanding that no current students or employees live in the building. 

The property owner, Student’s Cooperative Inc., claims the people living there were squatting; and as of Saturday they’ve been evicted, "It seems like finally now they’re leaving, for good," Thompson finished.

I'm not sure what can be done, but until we figure it out. MOAR GUNS!

Dude at 0:23 firing four stray rounds into the dark of night is not a "good guy with a gun", even though I know he thinks he is.

15 dead and over 60 injured in mass shootings over 8 different states just this weekend alone. Wtf is going on?

John Oliver had a good segment last night on the ineffectiveness of more armed cops in schools.

Picked up mine this weekend. Academy had / has a sale on a safe and couldn’t pass it up. I inherited rifles and didn’t own a safe prior.

I also think the Dems need to link Mass shooting "Gun Freedom requirement" to the "women can't choose what to do with their bodies" because of sanctity of life bullshit.

Something like this. "Each day there is another Republican Sponsored mass shooting. While at the same time the same politicians that demand total freedom for fun owners to the access to the guns for mass shootings, believe a women's right to personal freedom ends at her ovaries. THink about that for a moment?"

I would repeat this over, and over, and over.  It is a very difficult position to defend. Because there is no logic to it at all.  Women are the biggest swing block of voters, and IMHO this likely the best way to motivate younger voters for turnout in an off year election.

McConnaughey just published an editorial calling for "gun responsibility legislation" -- https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2022/06/06/matthew-mcconaughey-editorial-time-responsible-choices-guns/7523836001/

The TLDR version: it calls for 1) universal background checks, 2) 21 years old to buy a gun, 3) red flag laws with due process, and 4) waiting period to buy an assault rifle (I'd expand that to include handguns, but that's what he said).

Seems reasonable.  MM tries (much to my frustration) to walk a "middle path."  I certainly think this 4-point position is a middle path sort of thing.  In fact, we could draft a piece of legislation, call it the "Matthew McConaughey Firearms Responsibility Act," and introduce it in the Texas Lege and US Congress tomorrow.  

And everyone here knows that the bill would be killed more quickly than an American elementary student facing an AR-15.  It would be killed by one party.  And we all know which party it is.  So does MM.  

As long as there is a GQP, not one of MM's ideas will come to fruition.  Not a single one.  His editorial is a masturbatory waste of time.

I've still never heard a valid argument why AR-15s should be sold to civilians. The best compromise I'm willing to make is that you can have the gun to show off in your fancy gun room trophy case but you can only get bullets at a licensed range and can only shoot it at said range if it's really that important of a hobby. It's not going to be used for hunting or home protection.

Something something freedom. All the while it is not legal to buy a claymore mine. Clearly there is a reasonable standard of regulation but the right has turned the AR15 into a rallying cry all while children and killed in school for their “freedom” to own a gun that has little practical use.

Using an AR-15, I’ve shot dead 4 pigs in the last 2 weeks.  
 

They are used for hunting.  In my circumstance, used more for  eradication.

Are you contending the GOP is currently NOT a death cult?  And I think people saying something on an internet message board is not quite the same as ACTUALLY trying to murder people and at the same time refusing to wear masks or get vaccinated to combat a deadly virus, but you do you.

AR is a platform, not specific to a single cartridge.  The 5.56/223wylde is the most popular, but far from the only one. Only shooting an AR  at the range is a possibility. Restricting cartridges used in all other sorts of rifles would be more difficult.
