Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Guns Court Rules in Favor of Second Amendment Gun Right

Phil:I own alot of guns and it makes me feel real safe.And alot of people feel the same.Thank God we live in a country that gives us that right.I just feel that there are to many people here that are willing to give up those rights.That my friend is vary sad.

RB, it is my experience that the people who REALLY believe in being armed and feel safer that way, haven't given it up.
Those of us who don't feel safer with a gun CHOOSE not to be armed.
I don't feel like I've given up any right.

I live in the southern US. We wrote the book on having guns, hunting, killing, you name it. I grew up around guns. In the fall it sounds like a war zone.
Folks fight for their gun rights with a vengeance around here and have mostly won everything they want so I don't understand your bitterness/anger concerning this issue.
You just stated you have lots of guns.
What is the problem?

I was married to a man who had guns all over our house. You couldn't open a cabinet without a gun falling out of a bowl. He had our daughter out in the woods every Saturday target practicing (not what I think of as a wholesome optimistic outlook on life learning exactly).
I don't want to live that way anymore, RB.
But that's just me.
I also think it's a dangerous way to live.

That said, I"m not interested in taking your guns away from you, RB. This country is too ensconced in guns. It ain't gonna happen.
Besides....you might shoot me!!

OLYVE:Trust me im not a a BITTER or ANGRY person.I just feel that many years ago people gave there lives to form this Country and give us the Constitution to make us a free people.And I feel that our government is not protecting us as they should.Plus the american people are so involved in trying to make ends meet that we have lost focus.I just try to keep my focus.

"And I feel that our government is not protecting us as they should."

["Because,maybe?]

'They' are "too busy" "BUSTING US FOR "TRIVIAL PURSUITS"?

right on, mama. isn't that the truth!

Sorry, RB, for saying you're angry and/or bitter. I do respect your opinions on guns even though I may disagree (particularly with early history of this country and I'm not sure about how the government should be protecting us better in terms of guns).

Maybe it was just the tone of your "I get it, you don't" comments.
