Scruit Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Why go out of your way to appease those that fail to grasp any intellectual concept of this argument? Just because some uppity bitch in Washington thinks we should turn in our guns doesn't mean she's owed any apology' date=' compromise or explanation. She can go to hell, along with anybody else that believes she's right. [/quote']If enough people believe she's right, she will win.Regarding your other post... you're perfectly alright with a law-abiding citizen being fined for not breaking the law? If you leave your car running unattended then you ARE breaking the law.http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4511.661 You'll never find common ground with meApparently.

Scruit Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'm not out to solve that problemThat's your problem. The people who ARE out to solve it are going to solve it with bans unless we meet them halfway.What is safe storage? Under so much lock and key that it's inaccessible when I need it? Fuck that.Do you read my posts? I advocate quick-access safes when not in a holster on your person. I can get to either loaded pistol or semi-auto rifle within 10 seconds from any room in my house. I shouldn't have to forego my individual rights because of the actions of someone else who takes from me, and then does harm.All gun owners have a moral duty to not allow their guns to wind up in the wrong hands. How you achieve that may be up to your own personal judgement and sense of responsibility... But that doesn't help when you see the stats on how many stolen gun wind up being used in crimes. How is storing your weapons, loaded, in a quick-access safe (when not on your person) a violation of your rights?No it won't.Care to explain why you think that? what's important is that the person who uses them for harm is punished, not me.Personal responsibility is a two-way street. You can't just say; "Bad guy took the gun I had propped up next to my TV while I went on vacation and shot up a school with it, therefore not my fault."

Scruit Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Out of curiosity, if during this [THREAD], someone broke in and stole this firearm, is that your fault?The rifle had no bolt and was monitored at all times. It was safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingset Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 That's your problem. The people who ARE out to solve it are going to solve it with bans unless we meet them halfway.Bullshit. We've been passing half-way "reasonable restrictions" since 1934, and what's been the answer? Ever more attempts to take it all and incrementalism enabled by people who think just like you.Do you read my posts? I advocate quick-access safes when not in a holster on your person. I can get to either loaded pistol or semi-auto rifle within 10 seconds from any room in my house. And those are not sturdy enough to stop any determined thief (I know, I own them) and still a personal choice that should not be mandated by law.All gun owners have a moral duty to not allow their guns to wind up in the wrong hands.Bullshit. You're making guns more "evil" than a set of car keys. The thief has a moral responsiblity not to take other people's belongings and harm with them. Thieves use cars to injure, even to kill, and commit felonies every day. Do you suggest locking up keys in a quick-access safe? No? Because you're thinking just like Magz. And, it's bullshit. They steal knives too, need a knife safe now too do we?How you achieve that may be up to your own personal judgement and sense of responsibility... But that doesn't help when you see the stats on how many stolen gun wind up being used in crimes. How is storing your weapons, loaded, in a quick-access safe (when not on your person) a violation of your rights?I don't care how many are stolen, that's the criminals fault. 100%. Not one iota of responsbility belongs to me once they break into my abode and start stealing...whether it was in a safe or gift wrapped on the kitchen counter with some cookies for their long trip back to crime land.Lots of cars are stolen and used for crime, but I still consider it a violation of my individual liberties to store my personal belongings in a manner that YOU would dictate to stop the unlawful from gaining access to them. It transfers the culpability of crime to me, and that's wrong and absurd. How many times do you need to hear that before it cracks your skull? You're making ME to be the villain in a one-way crime, dude, and it's bullshit.Care to explain why you think that? I already did. You won't stop determined thieves, or even slow them down. War on drugs didn't stop drugs, and making me lock guns up won't stop gun thieves, it'll just change how they operate and hinder me and others.Personal responsibility is a two-way street. You can't just say; "Bad guy took the gun I had propped up next to my TV while I went on vacation and shot up a school with it, therefore not my fault."Yes, I can say that with complete honesty. If a thief steals my car while I have it idling in the driveway and mows down a toddler with it, it's not my responsibility. I did nothing wrong, showed no malice or negligence, and the thief did every criminal act. Same with if someone steals my kitchen knives out of my drawer that's not bolted and locked, and stabs a pregnant nun.Thieves bear 100% of the responsibiliy, and guns are not "special evil objects", Magz.I reject your mindset, your methods, your philosophy and your goofy morality. It's bent, and wrong, and very liberal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help keep them organized and helps prevent a thief stealing my cars.

You should try it. Primary purpose is to mitigate loss in the event of a break-in (thief doesn't have piles of keys to access everything.You're making guns more "evil" than a set of car keys.I'm acknowledging the indisputable fact that guns are more deadly than a set of car keys.

Uncle Punk Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 That's your problem. The people who ARE out to solve it are going to solve it with bans unless we meet them halfway.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Firearms_Acthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_Control_Act_of_1968http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearm_Owners_Protection_ActEnough compromise already, we have twenty thousand other laws that don't stop criminals. None of them are needed to keep me from committing a crime, and some deprive me of opportunity, some of them would make me a criminal for possessing something that would never cause harm to anyone. The slippery slope is already here and compromising from the last set of compromising is a loser’s mentality.That's the difference between you hand me, and why we won't see eye to eye. I'm more cognizant of how my actions could affect others.Someone commits a crime by stealing something from me and I'm complicit? Let's play that out to the gun/bullet manufactures and make them complicit as well. The crime couldn't happen if the tool was never built. I know others have gone down this path and it's a stupid deflection of responsibility away from where it belongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsuMj Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 The rifle had no bolt and was monitored at all times. It was safe.So, you wouldn't take responsibility if a CRIMINAL (say wearing a mask so you couldn't identify them in the video) committed a CRIME and stole your gun? doesn't make sense to me.Your point about safe storage is legit. We should all advocate safe storage (what that means is obviously going to vary from person to person). I disagree with making victims of a crime responsible for the criminal action. Where would it stop? Are we responsible for stabbings when they steal kitchen knives? Drunk driving if they steal car keys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't possibly expect the rest of us to consider you pro gun; I find it comical that you are under such a delusional impression that it makes me sad for you. You are the agnostic fence sitter without any real convictions either way and think you can talk out of both sides of your mouth trying to pacify the two sides when in reality both of them hate you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 (If you refuse to argue, then what are you doing right now? Arguing in your spare time? )Not at all. Just providing you the service of pointing out how stupid you look to the masses here. To argue with you your opinion would have to matter to me. It doesn't. It just pisses me off that screwballs like yourself are running the asylum while so many good members never log on anymore because this place has turned into a bunch of douchebag trolls arguing incessantly about shit they have no control over. I'd have to say that I know of just as many good people that never log onto this site anymore as people that do. Look at our mods list. Most of those guys and girls never log on and the ones that do rarely comment on anything because no one wants to swim in this fucking retarded shark tank.

Pokey Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 None of the laws you are advocating would have saved any of those children.Truest statement made yet. Laws are made to be broken, and there are many who do just that. There has always been and will always be those that "choose" not to obey important laws and set rules, and yes the rest of us suffer for that. So I think it has been proven time and time again, that more legislation doesn't fix anything. I still like my idea of having commandos taking out the scum in this country, when the bad guys actually have something to "FEAR" they will start to get the big picture.
