Opposition's Premise

[GunJunkie91]

Hello everyone.

I wanted to write this to say this. I have just started shooting guns this year, semi auto pistols and rifles to be exact. And I have notices that a lot of people have fallen for our opposition's premise. The premise is "gun safety". I hear this over and over again. Yes, we as gun owners should be safe especially using dangerous tools. My main issue is the opposition to firearms using "gun safety" as a starting point of slowly stripping away our rights to defend ourselves. We have seen too many people that is suppose to be on our side capitulate (ie. Safer Communities Act) and give an inch. As we give an inch, our opposition gives a mile. In fact, when we gave the inch, they responded with "we did a good thing, but we aren't finished". That right there let's you know they are coming for your firearms and its industry. There is no such thing as safety. Danger is around us all the time. Just because danger is around us doesn't we we shouldn't prepare. Hell what do I know. I am just on the internet.

I have been in the game a while now, nothing will stop evil people from wanting to control you.
They have shown complete disregard for the laws of our land with bogus pandemic mandates to get people to diaper up.
Those people are evil in every way

No gun owner I know has fallen for this false narrative.

You would be surprised.

As gun owners you should always remember:

THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WANT YOUR GUNS ARE YOUR ENEMY.

taking away my guns definitely does not make ME safer.

i think the analogy goes, all males should cut off their junk to prevent rape.

also, why is NO ONE fighting to ban booze and phones despite all the drunk and distracted driving deaths? somehow all that carnage is just ok, why?

Are you sure you don't know any gun owning FUDD gatekeepers that want you to have to earn your rights while giving them cash?

You know, for "safety!"

So your username is "gunJunkie" but you just started shooting this year?

All of your threads are about politics of gun control or skirting gun legislation. Are you from the Mommies group or a politician?

Made me look .

13 of 55 posts are purely gun, optic , or shooting range related without any legal/ political overtones .

Made me look at myself too , at the catagorization of my recent posts , into Directly gun related , Political/ Legal , and Other ( including discussion of Virginia Physicians Assistants , and rocking PGPD cruisers as Other )

Purely gun - 6
Other -16
Legal/ political - 16

In my defense , between the real time follies in New Mexico , and activity in the MSI lawsuits , lots of breaking news that is of importance .

I guess I need balance in my gun forum life . Later on I'll jump over to the S&W Collector forum . ( Where it's guns , gun minutia . ammo , handloading , and very minimal politics .)
