Now your point is that crimes happen. Well, no shit, sport. The original point: Yet millions upon millions of Americans go about their day without being strapped and it's somehow fine.Using Chipotle as a single example, there are over 2,000 restaurants in the US alone and 10's, if not 100's of thousands of people go in and out of them on a daily basis combined without having to worry "should I bring a gun?"
You failed at your fool's errand, you won't be able to accept this and you'll continue to puppet about.
LOL I love how it triggered you. All it was...was poking fun at you cuz you brought up Chipotle. You have had a meltdown over it. Love it.

Let's be real for a moment, we both know that Surt will jump off the Trump bandwagon as quickly (or quicker if it were magically possible) as he jumped on it only after Trump won if things start to really go South for Trump in regards to the investigation, scandals, policies etc.; when that happens; you won't be happy with Surt's fickleness. I'm sure you recall that before Trump won, he used to call Trump a 'lying piece of shit' and other colorful remarks, because you called his ass out on it.

You can argue the merits of open carry, that isn't what I'm doing. The point is some places have such laws where you can do so.Actually, the larger point is that you wonder why people don't want to be forced to register guns, when we already have some places pulling shit like this. A law abiding citizen did nothing wrong and yet was punished. For staring at people?
More states are talking about enacting similar laws like what allowed Seattle to do this. Even if you don't get open carry, surely you can get why this would disturb people? This just seems like it could be abused, assuming it already hasn't been.
Maybe it is just me, if someone is carrying a gun...I'd rather know.
Thanks for the response but nowhere did you address my one simple question...
What is the main purpose of open carrying a gun in public?
And your "law abiding citizen", by numerous complaints was acting suspicious. Enough reason for the police to be called & confiscate his weapon.
But don't be outraged because I bet what was left out of the article was the most boring yet logical outcome...he was given a background check, deemed not dangerous & had his gun returned with a simple cautionary advice as well.

I still remember when Star blew his gasket on me cause I laughed at someone's joke.
He sure was a nutcase (or a dam good troll).
He came over to HeroChat spouting all the same shit.
LOL placed over half the members on Ignore then got banned for threatening someone with violence.

You're trying too hard again, you need to reel it back 30-40%, Kurkyps How many times have you rage-quit KMC, saying you're done and never coming back because you're going to achieve some nonsense or other? Four? Five? or is it up to six now?
Funny that the guy who spends his days trying to go after another user is qualified to give me life advice.

Agreed. I would also like to apologize for my mostly one word responses to your points as I was looking at your list through the lens of "how would this prevent gun crimes" and thus I was being a little dickish in my responses.
We are good. 👆
As it always is, we all agree:
Robtard: I want to reduce violent crime.
Silent Master: I want to reduce violent crime.
Blindside/TI: I want to reduce violent crime.
dadudemon: I want to reduce violent crime.
We just disagree on how to address it.
I think Robtard's idea could address somewhere between 1%-5% of US Gun Homicides. This is not an ass-pulled number. It is based on the research they did on Assault Rifles back in the day.
However, that is gun homicides. And we all know how adamant I am about Gun Homicides being a shit measure. It needs to be JUST purely homicides. If implementing a regulatory requirement that costs billions (for all states, together) doesn't reduce homicides but just shifts homicides from guns to other implements, then it's a very stupid dumbass law.
If this new regulatory requirement can reduce homicides by 5% and comes out as financially net-positive program (by putting the fees on the people instead of digging us further into the hole of debt), then it seems like it is one of several good ideas to address the violence in the US.
However, I think the solution will never be found in regulating guns. Regulating guns is only addressing a symptom, never the problems. I will always frown on gun regulations as being the solution to homicides and violence in the US. I will summarily dismiss all of the ideas, however: there could be merit in some ideas.

I personally think that open carrying is stupid. so no, I do sometimes carry concealed. but probably well over 95% of the time I leave my guns at home.
Have to agree there, concealed is a better option to open, if it's an either or situation. Some O/C badboy may stupidly react to another O/C badboy and then we have potential bullets flying in public.
Where do you go where you feel you need to C/C to defend yourself or others? Edit: I ask, because I've never been in a situation where I felt a gun would have been beneficial
