I'm thinking this will cause a slight decrease in crime

I've always been of the opinion that an armed society is a polite society.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (32 children)

And a dangerous society. There are polite people who don't want to live in the Wild Wild West, or Texas. There are unarmed societies that are much more polite than Texans.

The United States is a nation infested with niggers and nigger dogs so we don’t exactly have the luxury of being one of those safe gun free homogeneous countries like Japan.

If you live in the United States you basically have to be armed all the time because there’s niggers and pitbulls around every corner. We’re the only ‘first world country’ with cities that have homicide rates as high as cities in Mexico and South Africa.

Vermont is pretty well armed and pretty polite too.

And responsible gun owners, with licenses. And they elected Bernie, and they have Ben & Jerry’s. They can do no wrong.

[–]hej 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

THEY HAVE BEN AND JERRY????

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOO (consoom face)

[–]Jesus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Ben and Jerry's is full of Glyphosate and owned by two Zionists. They also give a lot of money to Zionist causes. I boycott that company. Bernie is like the okay guy for the middle class when he isn't embroiled in theft (in the past), throwing protestors of Lockheed Martin in prison, advocating about how women want to be raped, or, as I have shown in my past post on how Samders is a Zionist, being pro-war!

All these things are true of Bernie Panders. He's nevertheless no where is bad as say Abbott.

Where are you from, Socks?

Mogadishu

Doesn't the US have a shit ton of refugees from there? I can't tell if you're shitposting.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (17 children)

Not sure. It's easy to get an AK without a license, however. It's awsome. I hear gunshots all the time, and no one cares if I fire a few rounds at the local cats.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (3 children)

You shat yourself over people talking about that watchpeopledie sub, and you're shooting at cats?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

There may be no end to your questions. At some point you'll have to admit that you won't understand some of the comments on Saidit. You could have autism. Ask your parents.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

If asking questions to clarify context and information in a place where there is no clear display of body language or voice changes is autistic, guess I win that award in your mind.

[–]FuckMasks 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (12 children)

Hold up.

You're out hobby-shooting at cats and going on about polite society? You're so full of shit 🤣

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (11 children)

Says the 'FuckMasks' genius. Seems there's much you don't understand.

[–]hej 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (8 children)

Seems to me he understands freedom of breath and freedom of speech. Do you have a problem with those freedoms?

[–]FuckMasks 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

That's my name! Say it louder!

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Then shut the fuck up about Texas.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Fuck off. Texas is the next Mogadishu. Dumbasses elected officials who are turning it into a banana republic, and now you can look to central and south American for evidence of the outcome of that kind of move, of essentially raping the 99%, for the sake of the 1%.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

You don't know shit.

You are so stupid, Socks. Brick wall level of stupid.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Return when you have something to say, rather than your usual, pathetic, knee-jerk insults.

[–]jamesK_3rd 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (10 children)

This is true for a moral and religious people, whose tendency would be towards respecting God law and those made in his image.

I do not think this same principle applies to a more atheistic one, where roadblocks on based human nature and carnal desires are removed or only enforced by/on certain groups by their god, the state/experts.

That's not to say being armed isn't a good thing. As we saw in texas recently and elsewhere over the past year, the state god may have it's enforcers protect the perps(BLM) at the cost of the victims (highway travelers). So being able to protect the lives of those you love even if it costs your own is the last recognition by a failed state/govt that you have individual, not communal value.

Moreover, it will be much easier to arrange for a shooting - of one or many people - if you don't have a gun license.

Regarding the church, there are some who go to church and still want to arrange a mass shooting.

As usual, you have no idea of what you speak of.

We used to have a bad carjacking problem here in Houston until the gun laws were relaxed. It didn't take long for thieves to realize trying to steal might be fatal. All in all it has been good for reducing crime.

And as StrategicTactic pointed out, those concealed carry classes were just a $300 tax, nobody actually failed them. This doesn't represent a material change.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

If relaxed laws nonetheless included some form of training and license, I think most people agree that this is an arrangement for responsible gun ownership.

Now let's say you want to buy an M2 Browning without a license or training. Also not a good idea.

Now let's say you want to buy an M2 Browning without a license or training.

Here ya go.

I am totally for gun safety and training, we should really make firearms classes mandatory in school. Beyond that, the guns are already out there and easy to get, and anyone who wanted to carry them just paid $300 for a license.

[–]Jesus 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Imagine growing up with a family that hunts and trains you as a child?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

They may need remedial training to unlearn bad habits but I'm sure it won't be a problem. I know that's not what you meant, but I'm serious, the dumbest shit I've seen done with guns was by guys who were around them all their lives.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yes, I've seen well-trained ex-military guys act like fools with their guns.

[–]RightousBob 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

The anti gun, pro experimental vax, statist shill/bot raises their ugly head again. Talking out your ass on another subject you know nothing about. Responsible gun owners are some of the most "polite" people you will ever meet. By the way, criminals don't follow gun laws, so that renders them ineffective. Go crawl back under your rock shill.

[–][deleted] 6 insightful - 4 fun6 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 4 fun -  (1 child)

But a slight increase in accidental shootings.

[–]hennaojichan 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Agreed. That goes with the territory. I knew a guy in high school who had a derringer and managed to shoot himself in the arm with it. Then a couple of weeks later while driving with one arm, had a minor traffic accident. He's still among the living so must have learned his lesson.

[–]Akali 4 insightful - 4 fun4 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 4 fun -  (5 children)

I feel like this isn't a good thing. Like, I'm pro gun, but I feel like safety training should be mandatory before carrying a gun. Those license are kind of that. Proof of mandatory safety training. It's kind of like a driver license, but for gun. Like, I wouldn't want a 19 years old drunk student who had never had any safety training wave a gun around whithout safety on. (I know, my example is far fetched, but you get the point).

[–]GaiusHelenMohiam 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

We should just add gun training to the senior year of high school.

[–]Akali 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

You know what, that's a good idea!

[–]crackerjack 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

if you are old enought to suck a dck, you are old enough to carry a firearm.

[–]RightousBob 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Socks sucks tons of dick. Does that mean they are entitled to own many guns?

I'm actually happy with the CCL system Texas had.

It made sure people not only understood their legal responsibilities and safety requirements, but necessitated them being introduced into a local circle of firearm enthusiasts who could sort of serve as a check on bad behavior.

There's an entire etiquette around handguns that I feel people need to be trained in before they can be trusted to carry one around.

[–]StrategicTactic 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

The system we had was a joke. I have had three people I work with get CCLs in the past two years, and each reported stupid stuff happening at the class. Just as an example, one said there was a father/son duo who came in with loaded guns, no holsters or bags to carry them in. Another had a guy do two "misfires". There were no failures in the classes, because the salaries of the teachers depend on the reports of the class. Can't fail a guy and expect a good grade, so everyone always passes.

The licenses have become just another monetary barrier to owning and operating a firearm. The classes will still be available, and more likely will have more responsible people in them now as they will be voluntary and not compulsory.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

That is an excellent point, I have never heard of anyone failing those classes.
