I don't know about Allen West, but the thought of a bunch of metro-sexual liberals, with all of their hyper-emotionalism and hysteria, walking around armed doesn't exactly give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

I realize the analogy and it's purpose, but still, does anyone really want the denizens of OWS carrying firearms???

The spineless weasels who support Obozo and his domestic and world socialism plan wouldn’t know how to use a firearm.

They’d shoot their eye out!

Quite the contrary, I think it would be a good thing to arm Liberals. I am very close with numerous ultra-left-wing, European-style socialist liberals who are proud gun owners and espouse their American freedom to keep and bear arms as the best of the bunch. They, like most conservatives, are responsible gun owners who enjoy everything about America except when a Republican is elected.

“Metro-sexuals” might bring a certain flair to the bearing of arms. Perhaps a market for “fashionable” concealed carry rigs would burgeon. Can you imagine Giorgio Armani or Prada making S&W j-frame IWB holsters? I wouldn’t buy em, but the metros might.

All of that aside, it’s been my experience that introducing firearms to a person changes something about them. Provided they’re not psychotic or sociopaths, oftentimes those first few shots down range awaken something inside a person. That feeling of power and control is addicting. People want more, and with that power, they realize there’s a great responsibility upon them to ensure that the firearm is well-cared-for and safely stored.

I think the mandating of firearm ownership is a great idea. I used to joke that there should be a law that says along with a social security number, every baby born in the country is provided a firearm, obviously to be handled and stored by the parents, and when that child reaches the appropriate age to utilize that firearm, the parents are to allow that child/young adult to practice with it at a local range. Can you imagine the generations of responsible citizens we might raise?

Sure you’re going to hear of incidents where children are shot and potentially killed due to misuse or mishandling, but if the Liberals can mandate the purchase of a service that would eventually mean having to apply to a lottery for heart surgery, I don’t see a difference in providing firearms to the nation at large. Heck, the Liberals should pile on! It would mean more gun-related deaths, but that would mean fewer people needing healthcare through the span of their lives. It’s a win-win!
