Mr.Vic20 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Well, whatever the answer is, let's not try hard to reach it! Remember, as a nation, we believe in hard work and "American Exceptionalism", but if we can't solve a problem with just one or two steps, or a catchy phrase, then we should just give up! That's how we got to the moon after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We choose to do these things not because they are easy, nor because they are hard, but because they don't require me to lift a finger or have empathy for anybody else.

As a slight aside, we’ve had fire alarms go off at the theater (stupid vaping kids) and we still had to walk into each auditorium to ask people to step outside until the fire department gave the all clear Can you be prosecuted for simply yelling "fire" in a theater? Probably not... can you be prosecuted for disturbing the peace, inciting a riot, reckless endangerment, making terroristic threats and a bunch of other shit that I just didn't think of off the top of my head? Fuck yeah. The police have wide discretion in charging folks andif they show up on your court date after they arrest you, you're GETTING a charge. Probably overcharged with the goal of you pleading out to something lesser, but you're gonna get charged if it comes to that. It's really up to that officer and what kind of day he's having when he responds to the call... and whether or not he met is arrest quote and if he wants a day off in court. At the end of the day, showing him that article that was posted and gonna do you a lick of good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 In other, more realistic news, Walmart is ending handgun and assault style ammo sales and banning open carry in their stores. That's actually pretty remarkable, considering how much of that market they have. I typically buy my handgun ammo from Walmart, but it's probably been a year or more since I bought any since I haven't been shooting my pistols in quite some time and still have a little stockpile at home.

If you think this is me overriding the law because I'm simply pointing out reality then I dont know what to tell you. I look forward to the results of our little experiment. Be sure to inform whatever cops shows up of the case law regarding yelling fire in a crowded theater. 6 minutes ago, sblfilms said: Police charge people for all sorts of actions that aren’t actually crimes Give this man a prize.

The only thing we can do is do everything to ban brown people from this country. I get the point you’re making but maybe don’t leave out the Pulse shooting in favor of making a generalization.

Massdriver Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I grew up in the gun culture and went to several gun shows as a child. I knew people that had been waiting their entire life for the government to make their move on the people. Their first move is to take the guns. Gun shows would sell large pipes that people could bury their guns in that are supposed to make metal detection more difficult because of the material the pipe was made of. These people are extremely motivated and even seem to want for the day to come where gun buybacks become mandatory. They are ready to bury their weapons. They intend to resist with force if necessary because they have it in their heads that any government that would want to seize their firearms is an authoritarian regime. I don't know what to do with these people, but as more time passes and I have to read about these awful occurrences, the less I care about their distorted beliefs and what they would do if the government started clamping down with registrations, licenses, buybacks, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that it would be hard to take their guns away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All bark and no fucking bite. I've had more guns shoved in my face than any law abiding citizen should and I've never felt the need to own a gun for my personal protection. Now if and when I have a family, I can see thinking differently. But I've always looked at guys who needed guns to feel safe as being... well not to tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
