    Open or concealed carry is insane. You Americans are unhinged.

    This is from a gun owner.

          Nifty. Neither being a firearm owner nor count of firearms in any way invalidates the decisions of those who choose to do so.

            You’re right. It was only a side point to imply that not every gun owner is as loony as certain American ones.

              Unfortunately, the only loony stance here is that legally carrying firearms is somehow a loony thing to do.

              It’s always weird seeing how incapable some people are of considering that a different point of view is every bit as valid as their own.

                Not all views are valid. That should be pretty obvious. I don’t consider carrying a firearm to be a valid view. It’s paranoia on the level of believing lizard people run government.

                  I don’t consider carrying a firearm to be a valid view.

                  It’s interesting that you seem incapable of considering yours may be the invalid view.

                  It’s paranoia on the level of believing lizard people run government.

                  I’d argue being so terrified of the possibility someone might be legally carrying a firearm to, itself, be the indicator of paranoia.

    “I welcome the debate and fight about how to make New Mexicans safer,” she said at a news conference, flanked by law enforcement officers."
    It’s only temporary and there’s bound to be exceptions.
    Seems like she is desperately making a wake-up call to gun owners to come up with a solution to killings.

      The worst part about this dumb ass talking point is that it implies that the Supreme Court is the source of our inalienable rights

        By talking point, you mean how the US constitution was written and the whole point of the supreme court?

        Edit: Until congress does their job and pass legislation on these matters, this is unfortunately how the cookie crumbles.

            They’re only declared inherent human rights on the very same sheet of paper that defines the rights and codifies them into law. Without the government backing them, they don’t mean anything and are just words written on a piece of paper.

              The constitution doesn’t bestow those rights, it just defines how the government interacts with them

            I agree in principle, but not in totality (largely due to bad faith arguements). Everyone should have the right to privacy and basic essentials, to carry a glock around wherever not so much.

    Ah yeah… Not constitutional.

    She’s just doing this for her image.
