A couple of observations...
We as gun owners have to be really careful with the "criminals will do it anyway, so it's no use to make it illegal" argument...because that applies to every single law ever made. Murderers know it's illegal and do it anyway, so do heroin dealers who sell to teenagers and white collar criminals who steal all of our retirement funds.
That argument sounds really great until you realize that it's meaningless.
I appreciate the slippery slope arguments, but sometimes they make gun owners look like we don't give twoshits about anything except our guns, and in a lot of cases it looks that way because it is true.
There's a legitimate fear about giving an inch and them taking a mile...there should also be a legitimate fear about not giving an inch so eventually they will take ten miles, fuckyouverymuch.
Next, being stupid and ripping on gun control advocates, some of which have been the victims of gun crimes, only makes you look like a stupid redneck...which is fine, if that's what you are, but it won't help the rest of us gun owners who wish you would just shutthefuckup.
Need some concrete examples? If you want to speak in favor of gun rights read anything that Dogfish ever writes about it. If you want to sound like a jackass and screw the rest of us gunowners with your profound stupidity just write most the stuff that most of you do.
Fish on...
