How can the NRA be so anti-2nd Amendment?!?
Drinking leads to fights.
Fights lead to the need to defend oneself.
How is one supposed to stand their ground if they can’t exercise their 2nd Amendment Rights.
–Or so the argument will go… I give this about a day before they start “clarifying” their position…
So I guess what Wayne LaPierre is saying - Don’t forget your “Designated Concealed Carrier” the next time you go out partying.
Every Fish & Game department in the country has proclaimed for years that “Guns and alcohol don’t mix”. But these assclowns need a few days and a little backtracking to get that message straight. They really do need a weatherman to tell which way the wind is blowing.
Who cares if the “good guy” with a gun is drunk? He’s still a “good guy”, right?
Bad guy walks into a bar and starts shooting.
Five people inside are armed and start shooting back, but none of them know whether any of the other four are good guys or accomplises of the shooter
And all five have had at least a couple of drinks and when the shooting starts, are amped on adrenaline
Am I safer in this situation because “good guys” are in the bar?
And when the cops arrive, how do they know which of the six shooters inside are good or bad?
The NRA as usual is full of s…t!
Maybe we can mandate a specific color that only good guys can wear…
there were good reasons Dodge City, Wichita, Abilene, Tombstone and a lot of other towns had laws about checking your guns while in town…
the marshalls and sheriffs recognize early on that guns and alcohol didn’t mix well…
Pure Donald. Pandering in such a sloppy, ignorant, reckless way the NRA has to say “slow down, we don’t think that’s a good idea.” Actually if the NRA has done anything at all worthwhile over the years, it’s been to promote basic gun safety rules, and not mixing guns and alcohol is an obvious and widely recognized one. But if they’ve been in opposition to the recent laws that allow you to carry in bars, among other places, I haven’t heard of it. Because no mere safety rule supersedes the One Great Rule of modern gun advocacy: Guns Are Always Good.
What deny .50 cal. hand guns to guys at drinking game frat parties, bikers waiting in Houston for the meth shipment to arrive, football (either version) fans boiling over from perceived bad calls in the World Cup…what kind of sissy, commie shit is this?
Everybody, every American starts to have – needs to start having a security plan. We need to be able to protect ourselves, because they’re coming.
Wayne is absolutely right about this. “They” are coming, and because of our absurd gun ownership policies, “they” will be heavily armed when they arrive.
If the only way to get a military grade weapon would be to raid the nearest Army base, the chances of some nutjob wandering into a church, school, or nightclub with that kind of firewpower would be vanishingly small, and we wouldn’t need to be worried about it.
And oh, by the way, the designated concealed carrier not only can’t drink, he shouldn’t engage in any enthusiastic dancing, either. If the news reports are to be believed, a lot of these clowns can’t keep their guns from falling to the ground when they get in or out of a pickup truck, when they reach for their phones while they’re seated, when they’re taking a dump, and so on. Dancing? I think not.
I give it less…
The failure in your logic is, well, using logic.
Hot pink. That way we know it’s intentional. Plus, bad guys never wear pink.
Non-drinkers aside, Trump and LaPierre seem to be saying bar owners should be required to allow guns on their private property. Isn’t this the kind of government regulation Republicans purport to hate?
I thought good guys wear white. WAIT! (makes phone call) OK, got it: Trump says good guys ARE white.
By “they” he means we, right?
Donald Trump is too extreme for the NRA. Think about that.
Yes, I’ve been thinking of getting bumper stickers printed that say:
WYATT EARP SUPPORTED GUN CONTROL
