Do you know the gun owners in your circle?

It's inevitable when my husband and I visit family these days that the subject of violence in Baltimore comes up. Often, I'm the one who raises it. But when it came up last week on a trip to see my parents in Georgia, I got my back up. I thought of the 11-hour drive south and the billboards we passed along I-81 boasting guns for sale ("A Glock for Christmas"!), and of the story my brother-in-law, who lives in Florida, told of a neighbor stopping by to shoot the breeze in his suburban driveway, a handgun holstered at the man's waist as their kids played nearby.

Yet another dumbass LIEberal idea.

If you subscribe to the Baltimore Sun, you probably want to let them know this is a dumbass LIEberal idea and that you'll be reading the Washington Times FRom now on!

Sure, because all of them are.

Wow, can they get any more retarded? Don’t answer that, we already know the answer.

I think a database of those who do not own firearms would be more helpful. (Particularly in Baltimore)

Knowledge is limited. Stupidity is boundless.

...and criminals need to know the houses that aren’t protected.

"but how about adding something immediately useful: a gun owner registry available to the public online - something like those for sex offenders. I'm not equating gun owners with predatory perverts, but the model is helpful here; I want a searchable database I can consult to find out whether my kid can have a play date at your house."

Gun owners need to shun non gun owners. They have no defense plans to protect your kids if something happens at their house or wherever they are. Hiding under tables and hoping they don’t find you,,or going through your day hoping evil doesn’t find you unprepared, is not a defensive strategy.

Time to roll it vack on them. Give them something to think about why gun owners will not let their kids around them.

They don’t even get how offensive their flawed assumptions are about others. Hope theymdon’t fall off their horses, they are up pretty high.

Idiots. That database will not list the violent criminals who have guns. The non-violent people got a permit and are on a database even if they don’t have a gun.
The liberals’ goal us to take guns from non-violent citizens while leaving them in the hands of violent criminals.

My reply to the quote:

Keep your kid home, lady. It might be contagious.

Besides, if your level of intelligence is passed on genetically to your offspring, I don't want your kid near my place. Too many moving parts.

Remarks are great.
Esp the one with her arrest record detailing her drunk driving.
Couldn’t resist sending her a message with the arrrest linked with a hypocrate tag.

Hey lady...

If you really want to protect your kid, enroll them in Eddie Eagle gun safety course.

The NRA won’t bite.

“I have the luxury of being white...”

Ah ha! Her filthy white privilege explains it all.

The comments at the source are entertaining - especially the ones that did a cut-and-paste of Tricia’s DUI charge (she pled guilty). I hope she hasn’t been offering the neighbors’ kids any rides without first disclosing that bit of info to the parents.

Circle? All I ever had was a formation and we were all armed.
