Want to pass a gun control law that would actually reduce gun crimes? Disarm Democrats.

[NorthMountain]

Repeal all gun laws.

“Shall not be infringed.”

And any cop with “Nemo Me Impune Lacessit” on his badge should be dismissed from the force with prejudice. He obviously lacks the proper temperament for a civil servant.

[Kaslin]

especially those in government.

[Timpanagos1]

Even in the chaos of the Dallas Police massacre, Texas Open Carry was a positive force and may have saved lives.

[Kaslin]

The translation of "Nemo Me Impune Lacessit" from Latin into English is: "no one attacks me with impunity"

Now what do you find wrong with that?

Who the h*ll is Charles Blow????

After reading his “statement” above, I have come to the conclusion that my 3 year old grandson has more intelligence than this guy...

That was one of the most incoherent comments I’ve ever tried to read...

[Bubba_Leroy]

Even in the chaos of the Dallas Police massacre, Texas Open Carry was a positive force and may have saved lives.

To be honest, I am not a big fan of open carry. I agree that the right to open carry should not be infringed, but personally I prefer concealed carry.

Open carry makes you the first target. I don't want any criminals or terrorists to know that I am armed until I fire.

[Kaslin]

It probably did.

[NorthMountain]

I know what it means.

A more colloquial translation would be "Disrespect me and I'll kill you".

Now, what do you find wrong with that?

The open carry law in Texas is fine...it’s the DUMMIES that do it. Look at me, I’m at a BLM protest, I’m wearing a cammo shirt and this is my AR-15...look at me, look at me, see my gun? (I call it BS and BLING!)

[longtermmemmory]

does prada make a holster?

[trisham]

I doubt it, but some of these are nice:

[longtermmemmory]

when women can open carry with designer holsters open carry will be mandatory.

[trisham]

:)

[ptsal]

Kaslin... Yes. I agree..... What the heck is "wrong" with the phrase "Nemo Me Impune Lacessit"?

[BBB333]

“I know what it means.
A more colloquial translation would be “Disrespect me and I’ll kill you”.”

It’s Latin and it has only one meaning.

You deserve a guest host position on Hardball with Chris Matthews as you are finding ‘dog whistles’ where there are clearly none.

Then State Troopers in my state, Montana, all have on their uniform and vehicles: 3-7-77 - it means they’ll dig you a grave 3 foot by 7 foot and 77 inches deep. Does that make you wet yourself?

[Jack Hammer]

Any capacity to employ the very simplest logic is considered an intellectual defect in the anti-firearms world.

[TXnMA]

What is wrong with a "civil servant" wearing the Scottish national motto, "No one attacks me with impunity!"?

If I had to wear a uniform that makes me a moving target, I definitely would want to warn the "public" against acting on that temptation.

Or -- don't you believe in self defense?

“You all be nice now.” Welcome to Texas. A bunch of us carry weapons and really do know how to use them and when to use them and more importantly know when not to use them.

You can not carry weapons in Chicago. Why do so many people die there at the hands of criminals?
