Gunning for Gun Pride?

krea · Senior Member

i think it makes people more scared of other people. lets just not carry guns yeah?

i think its one of those things where people will feel intimidated (not in a good way) and the more violent people will want a challenge. i'm just not a fan of guns, at all. and i agree with katie, lets not carry them.

I believe in some parts of the country it is understandable that people want to show off their weapons for sport, and i believe this is fine as long as the person is in a desegnated area for hunting or sporting. I don't believe it is necessary to wander about town with a rifle or even a pistol. There are places for guns, but i don't believe it those places should be on the streets and in towns.

Yeah i agree
i think its fine if you have an interest in firearms
just keep it as your own interest
and get a permit

i mean my grand father was a nut
i remeber once we were cleaning out his garage and my dad found a disassembled AK-47

i reference this because although my grandfather took an interest in guns
he never flaunted them
because he was aware of what they could do

they have conventions if you wanna walk around and show off how many guns you have
there is no need to walk around with a colt 45 in your back pocket

I'm uncomfortable with that. I don't like guns and I don't think they should be carried around in public, especially out in the open. True, some people are just expressing their second amendment rights but honestly, some people are dangerous. I know the NRA is all for this. But guns are dangerous, make people uncomfortable, and can cause death if in the wrong hands. I know if (I know this is not happening) I was at Disneyland and I saw some guy with a gun on him, I would freak out. As would most people. Bad idea. People get fired up sometimes, I'd rather have us punching each other than having the capacity to shoot each other.

i think the only people aloud to have guns in public, are cops, and people who work for the government. shoot i know i don't want to see people walking down the street, we a gun in their hand. i also think that people have a right to have a weapon, but keep it in your home please.

I agree with everyone above me, it's just not a good idea to carry guns on the street. It gives you more oppertunity to use them

i think people should keep their guns at home!

If you are a responsible gun owner with a permit than I have no problem with them having a gun with them. But I don't think everyone should be out and about displaying their guns for everyone to see. What's the point? Only bad things will happen if everyone starts to carry their guns with them.

i think guns may be the best and most cost efficient form of home defence, but maybe it would best to keep them in the home

i personally don't like guns but i understand why people carry them so i think carrying a fire arm is ok as long as it's lisensed.

Nothing good could come of this. Only mayhem, midnight mayhem!
