"...even high-powered military-grade assault weapons...."

No red meat at Krogers please!

[cripplecreek]

But, if you’d like to peruse the produce aisles with a semi-automatic rifle slung across your shoulder, go right ahead.

That depends largely on which Kroger store I'm in.

Well if there were a crazy person about to try to shoot everyone in a Kroger store, I would be happy to know he had company in carrying his gun into the store.

[JRandomFreeper]

In Michigan, as in many other states, people can easily buy rifles, even high-powered military-grade assault weapons, without a criminal background check.

There's a lie.

Everyone gets a call to the BATFE if they buy from a dealer.

How would someone possibly know the difference?

The good guy will be comparing prices and ingredients on chicken soup or something... the bad guy will be doing various bad guy stuff.

Linda has some vapors. Maybe hysteria.

Someone should call a doctor for her. And maybe an editor.

Lol. The part where the author says you don’t know how to discern a good guy from a bad guy is laughable. The bad guy will be shooting at you. Morons. They act like guns are poisonous snakes.

[cripplecreek]

I prefer meat that I kill so keep your head down in that department.

[Billthedrill]

despite polling that shows 92 percent of all Americans and 74 percent of NRA members support background checks on all gun sales.

Another lie. 74 percent of NRA members support background checks because they're already in place for dealers. NOT for "all gun sales".

Instead, shoppers are left to determine whether the person in aisle five with an assault rifle is a “good guy” with a gun or a “bad guy” with a gun.

The "bad guy" is the guy who is shooting at YOU! Idiot! The "good guy" is the guy shooting at the "bad guy"! Idiot! Geez. This isn't rocket science.

It is very simple. The bad guys are the ones that are shooting everyone else.

[cripplecreek]

In the little town I grew up in, we didn’t think anything of it if we walked into the story carrying a shotgun on our way to the woods. The same was true of every other business there on Main Street and that was well into the 80s.

[Nuc 1.1]

Generally speaking bad guys try to use you and kill you and good guys don’t. That ‘ show you know who is good and bad. Kinda digital. If it wasn’t for dims and their corruption and immorality we wouldn’t be in this position.

Here is a hint, Linda, you stupid dolt: The bad guy is shooting the place up. The good guy isn't. Oh yeah, and the bad guy ignores "Gun Free Zone" signs, or rather looks for them as identifiers of a Target Rich Enviornment.

Mrs SLB and I just returned from a quick trip to Kroger. Was I carrying? No one knows except me and Mrs SLB.

I’d like to know where “Linda” got her 6.6 million private transfer figure from.

>>We need groceries, not guns at Michigan Krogers<<

False dichotomy, standard libtard writing stock in trade.

Krogers will have groceries (and in the same type and quantity) irrespective of the presence of guns.

[Fungi]

And the other guy intent on doing harm will soon find out, as it should be.
