Tennessee legislature passes permitless handgun carry bill

[parousia70]

Why would I want my guns taken? Is that gonna make me safer?
Maybe more unhealthy because I have to eat store-bought meat?

Three truths that expose this one Fallacy:

1)You don’t have to eat meat. Nobody does. And you’d likely be healthier if you didn’t.

2)Bowhunting is also a thing.... takes a lot more skill tho, so you may not be up to it.

3) Statistically, Gun owners are less safe than those who don’t own guns, as they are exponentially more likely to be shot.

Hogwash.

Maybe not everything is about you?

Nice try, but I don't need another challenge, and I already have the bow hunting option. I'm an expert trapper and can start fires from rubbing sticks together.. I don't need any more Macho challenges.

So I could ask the same question about all my neighbors.

More hogwash.

Yes, people who practice the ammosexual lifestyle tend to push it on their kids at a very young age, as they’re much easier to indoctrinate at 7 than they are at 17, or 27....

Ah, ammosexual, a new word meaning

A person obsessed with owning guns; a zealous supporter of the right to bear arms.
Ammosexuals are very protective of their fetish, and attack even the slightest gun safety measure on the grounds that they interfere with their pleasure.

IOW a vulgar and derogatory term for several million citizens who support the Constitutional Amendment to own and bear arms.

There are many people, perhaps half the population, that do not connect a sexual term to the Right to Bear arms

I will defend you right to say what you please, that is in the Amendment right before it, and happily recognize both of those rights.

Yes I support all the Constitutional amendments. I also train my children how to respect and safely use weapons. I have carried since 1982. Not one shooting, no one has died, but there is one lady who isn’t rapped.

Horrors!

We also:

We also believe in God
We also pray as a family
We also go to church
We also hold our children accountable for their words and actions
We also believe in hard work and praying for our employers
We also support our local police
We also encourage membership in the military.

anathema to some, but a basis for this and future generations to live by

Are we are the only developed country in the world where we think that having more guns prevents gun deaths?

 

[GoldenBoy89]

Well it gives something for mass murderers to think about when they go to a grocery store, theater, or church with the intent of killing everyone in sight.

A person willing to murder indiscriminately probably isn’t thinking too hard or for too long about the consequences of their actions.

Nonsense. I support the 2nd Amendment, but I do not match the quoted description. I accept the slightest gun safety measures.

However, I will grant you that there are probably several million Americans that do match the description.

I do not match the description either. I think there are an extremely few sick people who do.

Iowa just did something similar.

Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a bill Friday that will make handgun carry permits and background checks on unlicensed sales optional in Iowa.

As of July 1, people can buy handguns from private non-licensed sources such as websites, gun shows and individuals without a permit or background check. People also will be able to carry a gun into public places such as grocery stores and malls without prior safety training or a permit.

personally,I don’t like the idea of not doing background checks. There is nothing wrong with that and I think it would be part of due diligence.

I am not in favor or gun registry.

Do you have something that is actually statistical and not from a far left internet writer who called for all Americans to be banned from buying guns?

Vox writer calls for Obama to ‘unilaterally ban all Americans from purchasing guns’

Yup. Then again you're also the country that voted for Donald Trump for president and started QAnon so its not like anyone is particularly surprised.

Texas House passes similar law.

The Texas House passed a bill Thursday that would allow people to open carry handguns without a permit. If approved, it would make Texas the largest state in the nation to allow no-permit handgun carry.

The bill is advancing through the Texas legislature despite opposition from local police chiefs, who said it puts officers at risks and lets citizens carry guns without proper training and vetting.

I agree with the police chiefs. Many of the people I know who have concealed and carry permits have the training for conflict resolution and treat their weapon as the last option. For too many yahoos, it is the first.

Indeed -- they'll think about how perfectly they'll blend in.
