"Supporting the Second" and "not being a counter-productive idiot" are not mutually exclusive states of being and implying they are does not enhance one's credibility.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414687981098467556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-88868306717582670102014-05-25T01:14:55.561-04:002014-05-25T01:14:55.561-04:00I'd rather a business just come out and ban fi...I'd rather a business just come out and ban firearms, so I know where not to spend my money...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-34516417310173980502014-05-25T01:11:52.395-04:002014-05-25T01:11:52.395-04:00They were ASKED to pose for a picture.

If you use the word "but" after the phrase "I support the 2A" then you don't support the 2A... What part of "shall not be infringed" do you disagree with? We either support people using their right to open carry where legal, or you might as well sell all your firearms now because yours will be the next ones on the moron anti-gun agenda. They want ALL guns banned from civilian hands, except for the police of course, so if you don't support the rights you have now then you might as well be one of THEM...

The OC rifle crew turned neutrals into apparent, and thus meaningfully in the eyes of non-gun people whose votes or apathy we *must* have, anti's.<br /><br />Every "own goal" win we hand the Moms and Bloomy on a platter, by being actively stupid, gives them press time and momentum. If we act smart, like OC TX is now getting around to doing, we never give them that press, and thus momentum, in the first place.

Something blued with wood furniture, on a sling behind one's shoulder or across the back. For the uninitiated/uninformed, "grandpa's gun" is a LOT less intimidating than an AR/AK variant.<br /><br />Can't go wrong by displaying empty holsters, either.Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378629103793458871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-11434631194124843482014-05-22T23:38:56.718-04:002014-05-22T23:38:56.718-04:00Now THAT makes sense!
