Mega-Thread: Gun Control Thread

[Grizzly Willy]

If you don't like the new gun laws, move to a different country?

[FusedMass]

Wait so we're really into "if you don't agree with us just get out"?

How American of us, truly.

Exactly. How kind of them to offer if I don't share the majority view's that reflect my state. I should instead of trying to make a difference simply move. It's sincerely quite amusing though the pure notion that they suggested it. I assure you there are many people in my state who share my view and they still live here despite not agreeing with all the laws.

Odd I know.

[Sicarus]

That sounds like an excellent idea. In fact let's separate all Liberals to live in the North and all Republicans while we are at it. Just because I do not agree with some of the United States law's like the assault weapons does not mean I should re-locate outside my state or even outside the country. The supreme court is highest law in the land and till they explicitly say they will not ban this weapon.

Then it is up for debate. The great thing about America it's a very diverse background with cultures and different people from all over the world. We do not all share a similar view. Even the President of United States is arguing for common sense gun laws. Should he move to Kenya as many Republicans have suggested. That is an insult to the integrity of the President.

Though if you mean why do I stay in Texas. Why not. Are you suggesting a certain place inside the United States I should go. I always wanted to live in CA though. I live though in a very small town and I understand that this state is mostly republican. In fact in the elections Obama never even bothered to campaign here. I don't see the connection what I believe in should direct where I live to be honest.

So you don't like the laws here.

You didn't start here by choice.

But you want to stay.

Have you been known to stay in abusive relationships? That's not mentally healthy.

So what would you say if I lived in California, have well enough opportunity to move, but stayed even though I don't agree with all their laws?

It's not that I do not like all the laws. I do not agree with Gun Laws here. However as of now they do not affect me either directly or indirectly it's not that big of a deal to actually pack up my things or serious enough that I should move simply because I have a different point of view then some people on a certain law. Why are you so aggressively suggesting I move outside of Texas.

Assault weapons are legal all over the United States. Texas just has a more relaxed position. It doesn't irate me to point I actually need to move because of it.

A lot of people don't value the freedom of movement apparently. I never got that line of thought myself.

Force is a drug.

[Rocko9]

So if the gun laws don't really affect you directly or indirectly, and you don't mind living in a state with a buttload of them, why are you so vehement to change gun law?

[GreatOak]

We don't like your kind 'round here, so 'git

It definitely irates you to the point of having an absolute unwavering opinion on "ban all gunz!" despite saying you're "open to discussion", which, you've been proven wrong a lot, but still have that point of view.

Why do you aggressively suggest I not allow myself to be safe?

I haven't been proven wrong alot that is factually incorrect sole decider.

Secondly. I never said ban all weapons. I said assault weapons then I said at least background checks and High Capacity Magazines. Till this point the suggestion I should move outside of Texas because of my position on guns is different then some have been amusing. However I do not feel this is an actual debate on anything serious.

We're pulling the thread off topic and focusing solely intent on me. While I am flattered by the attention. It's throwing the entire debate off topic. I regret to inform you Texas is stuck with me. I believe it's my FREEDOM to live where I want.

You sure love talking about yourself, then claiming others are derailing the thread when you.... keep talking about yourself.

You actually have been proven wrong often. You kept saying how dangerous "assault weapons" are, yet you were proven wrong about that and the previous ban.

You said fully-automatic rifles were better for long range over semi-automatics.

That's blatantly incorrect.

Do you mind showing me the exact quote where I said that in detail. My memory is a bit foggy. If you can do so I would be happy to respond in detail.

I take issue with this line of thought, at least at a national level. The whole point of our government is for the people to decide, if indirectly, what laws are put in place. You don't get to tell people who don't like the laws to just leave. They have every right to fight to change them.

I'm a liberal person who moved from California to Texas. There are a lot of reasons to live in a place where the majority don't hold your viewpoint. This is especially true when it's easy to find places where you can find like minded people within that area. I live in the center of Houston in large part because I enjoy the culture of Houston's center more than the outskirts.

[GreatOak]

Who said anything about freedom of movement?

Anyone who thinks people should move because they're different from the majority would have issues with it I suppose

[Frank Garrett]

i have crossbow does that count as a gun?\

[Extrazero8]

Negative.....

[Grizzly Willy]

So you're not arguing that people should move if they don't like the laws?

[oxymoronic]

So you are attacking gays now all for wanting equality?

nah man just pointing out its human nature to want more, whether its good or bad...
