Leftists Now Clamoring To Get Guns And Finding Out It's Not That Easy

[satrebil]

"First came the panic buying of hand sanitizer. Then, people panic bought toilet paper. Now, food shelves are emptying and firearm and ammunition sales are through the roof. The COVID19 outbreak might be bad for the stock market, but it’s certainly been a boon for very specific sectors of the economy. The gun industry, used to such boom/bust cycles, knows how to respond – but other sectors might not be so acclimated.

Here at Omaha Outdoors, we’ve been inundated with inquiries from out-of-state folks – many from California – asking if we can ship them a gun directly. The answer is, of course, no. Despite what politicians and many in popular media claim, you can’t buy a gun online and have it shipped to your house. Well, you could, if you were a federally licensed firearm dealer (or federally licensed curio and relic collector) and your home was your place of business. Other than that, no, you can’t buy a gun online and have it shipped, especially across state lines, to your home."

I never tire of proving these anti-gun idiots wrong.

No leftist should be allowed to possess a gun. Period!

Make that, no Democrat voter.

I've never owned a gun, nor have I wanted to. And yet, I have survived for nearly 70 years somehow. I did shoot a gun once, in about 1965. It wasn't that exciting.

Its ok with me if you choose to not own a gun

just keep your hands off my civil right to self defense

Your civil right to self defense ends at my right to live.

Dude... what?

[2aguy]

you do understand that if you get a CCP or a buyers permit, you already are undergoing a background check....

Not in my state. I can buy a firearm at a gun show, and conceal carry with no background check OR permit.

not according to federal law...
Hillary's 'Gun Show Loophole' Proposal Is A Joke

Flat out, false.

nope

I will wait patiently while you point out the wording in the law that requires a private seller to ask if the buyer is legally authorized to own a firearm.

They don't have to .....why should they have to....they aren't cops. Does Best Buy ask everyone buying a computer if they are a convicted pedophile or sex trafficker? You doofuss.

I think bruce is harmless

and as long as he can convince the home invaders to wait till the cops arrive I dont suppose he really needs a gun

Well, hey, let's take a survey: How many people reading this have had their homes invaded? Hundreds, probably. So let's hear from all of you!

[Daryl Hunt]

And you idjits can't accept we change what we can change. You seem to believe that some magical Gun Fairy is going to cure everything. Let's start your narrative with "'Once Upon a Time" or "And there I was"

Take your hopey-changey feelgood bullshit and shove it up your ass. There have always been criminals, there will always be criminals. The real "idjits" are the dumb shits like you who think you stop criminality by restricting and/or disarming the honorable. Nowhere has this ever been the case in all of recorded history but you cling to this completely asinine notion like flies to shit.

Think about what you typed in the second sentence. That is the only part of your response that makes any sense. There have always been Criminals and always will be Criminals. And More Guns don't make fewer criminals or deter crimes at all. In fact, all studies state that more or less guns have absolutely no change in that. But what it does change is making the average American safer even if from him or herself. Common Sense Gun Regs are designed to do just that. They are not designed for the hardened criminal, they are designed for the average person and the person who "May" decide to do a felonious act out of anger, mental disability or pressure. You want to control the Criminal, good F###ing luck with that.

"And More Guns don't make fewer criminals or deter crimes at all. "

This has got to be one of the dumbest statements I've ever read. Every single time a firearm is used in justifiable self defense, a crime is deterred you retard.

"Common Sense Gun Regs are designed to do just that."

WE. ALREADY. HAVE. THEM. YOU. IGNORANT. FUCK.

Yah, all those guns that people had in that Texas Walmart really helped didn't it. It took the cops to end the slaughter. And don't tell me that there were no personal sidearms there. It's Texas.

Good guys with guns cannot possibly be everywhere at all times, dingus. But go on, make some more inane arguments. Maybe next you can blame firemen for not being immediately on the scene of every fire.

"It took the cops to end the slaughter."

So, other guys with guns? IMAGINE MY SHOCK!!

Way to stick your foot in your mouth, genius.

It was a Texas Walmart. About 1 in 4 where armed. And yet, the only thought these armed "Good Guys" had was to flee.

Well, this "leftist" (that's what I'm called by most Democrats and almost all Trump supporters anyway) doesn't have to rush out to buy a gun...

I've owned a rifle most of my life and have a carry license for my pistol. I don't appreciate idiotic comments like the one above. My father was a proud Rooseveltian Democrat who fought in WWII. He taught me that rightwingers who talk about -- or even just joke about -- disarming people they disagree with are usually either Klansmen, professional union busters, John Birchers, or just fools already taking the first steps on the long road to fascism.

Everyone has a legal right to bear arms under the Constitution, but reasonable regulation and registration and even restrictions, are entirely appropriate.

The "Good Guy" defense is bogus. What good does it to have more guns on the street if the ones that have them are incapable of using them effectively. They are more a danger to the innocents around them than to the "Bad Guy". I'll say it again, I am not against citizens being armed but they should go through the CCW training first.

Lawyers Guns and Burglars

C. In Homes and on the Street
Rengert and Wasilchick's book about how burglars work reveals that fear of armed homeowners played a major role in determining burglary targets.
