sadly it is not so much of a joke any more .
Yes, it's up to the states
No, there should be no Open Carry Gun Laws Anywhere

That is why we are supposed to have state sovereignty, It does make it harder to keep up with when moving about, but it is better for each state to run themselves.Originally Posted by panama hat

Seems like I remember of the crime stats going up since the gun ownership has been outlawed, has it not??Originally Posted by panama hat
I don't know about your ideas on it as I do not pay much attention to your posts., but it does seem that most real liberals and forward thinkers do want the constitution to cover all criminals, even the illegal alien murderers and the terrorists held in jail at Gitmo.Originally Posted by panama hat
If the public of a country need to carry side arms, the public of that country need to have a good look at themselves!
HAHAA! Texpat? Really? Yes I am drunk and soon off of to lala land..
Keep in mind lads that I am not a right wing dipshit. I support Obama and all he stands for. I am sure its hard to understand why I still may back the second amendment but I do. Maybe this quote will help;
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!"

^Thats why you have Armed forces n police. Not the public popping out for a coffee...!

Found an article that supports this thought:
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2010/03/01/john-lott-supreme-court-guns-chicago-ban/
The failures of gun bans in the U.S. are frequently blamed on lax gun restrictions in other states. But the experiences of other countries, even in island nations that have banned handguns and in countries where borders are easy to monitor, do not support this claim. For when handgun bans were enacted in Ireland and Jamaica, in 1972 and 1974, respectively, murder rates doubled over the following decade. And take the more recent example in England and Wales, where handguns were banned in 1997: deaths and injuries from gun crime more than doubled over the next seven years.
also:
Washington’s Mayor Adrian Fenty warned: "More handguns in the District of Columbia will only lead to more handgun violence
But Armageddon never arrived. Quite the contrary, murders in Washington plummeted by an astounding 25 percent in 2009, dropping from 186 murders in 2008 to 140. That translates to a murder rate that is now down to 23.5 per 100,000 people, Washinton’s lowest since 1967.
Take away law-abiding citizens right to bear arms and that brings about an open hunting season for the criminals.
Life is a state of mind.
as opposed to getting 5 years in prison because you found/turned in a gun in a country where it is ILLEGAL to posses a gun... Thats funny man... Those enlightened, progressive, *forward thinking* societies ehhmm..Gotta love it.

I like guns, I like bows and arrows, I like stuff that blows stuff up.
I used to carry my own rifles and pistols back and forthwhen I was working in southern Mexico in the early 60's,Originally Posted by Aguda
Everyone there damn near carried a pistol and owned rifles and shot guns and everything was cool, then they made it a gun free country and every son of a bitch started to kill someone else and now for a empty 22 rimfire case laying under your floor mat will get your car confiscated and you ass in prison,, and look what it has done to the country.
Officials wanted to up the drug trade with a gunless population and those that have guns are bad guys that use them..
What a fatuous argument . . . one that is dis-proven all the time but still gets rolled out periodicallyOriginally Posted by Aguda
Excellent, Jonesy. You found an article to base the whole gun issue on . . . well done. From FOX no less . . .Originally Posted by AjarnJonesy
Reagan again? Do you people never tire of using his name to advance everything that was good and holy, irrespective of how inaccurate it is?Originally Posted by AjarnJonesy
Care to check how much Reagan's small government grew?
The Free Market: The Sad Legacy of Ronald Reagan . . . among many other sources cited on TD countless timesIn 1980, Jimmy Caner's last year as president, the federal government spent a whopping 27.9% of "national income"
So how did the Reagan administration do? At the end of the first quarter of 1988, federal spending accounted for 28.7% of "national income."
Even Ford and Carter did a better job at cutting government. Their combined presidential terms account for an increase of 1.4%—compared with Reagan's 3%—in the government's take of "national income." And in nominal terms, there has been a 60% increase in government spending, thanks mainly to Reagan's requested budgets, which were only marginally smaller than the spending Congress voted.
the size of the bureaucracy has also grown. Today, there are 230,000 more civilian government workers than in 1980, bringing the total to almost three million. Reagan even promoted the creation of a new federal Department of Veterans' Affairs to join the Departments of Education and Energy, which his administration was supposed to eliminate.
. . . etc etc etc etc
Anyway, the thread is about guns despite BM and Jet's attempts, as usual, at derailing it by trashing Slackula.
One question: Does the Open Carry Gun Law prohibit concealing it?
Oh, here are some other countries where guns are carried around in the open:
Notice the similarity between the US and adventure holiday destinations like Somalia, Liberia etc.... with the difference that the US government executes more people than either of these two randomly selected places.
Being facetious, of course, but if he economy continues to slide, more people lose their jobs, no social structure to ease the pain . . .
To tell the truth, I did not know of any state that did not permit carring a gun as long as it was not concealed,, even Portland and Multanoma county does not recognise a concealed carry permit, but open carry was OK, but not with a round up the pipe.
Here is the last 4 holdouts to the open carry laws.
4 states, among last holdouts, eye open-carry gun laws - USATODAY.com
That is because of the similarity's of the country's, all have niggers running things, and in most, murder is not again the law and laws are not enforced and some even have no acting government.Originally Posted by panama hat
and the USA with an over active govt. being the only difference.
