But here's a MAJOR problem Robbie: States in this country have been passing laws called 'Stand Your Ground'. Meaning, if you FEEL like you are being threatened - by a look, some bad words, the color of someone's skin - then you can pull out your weapon and blow the fucker away. Then, on the stand in Court you say, "But Your Honor I felt threatened!"
Case dismissed.
So having all these armed citizens walking around, sometimes with weapons on their hips like they are some kind of cowboy and it's 1856, does not make me feel safe.
I feel safer in fucking Europe than I do in the US. At least if I get in a confrontation there (not that I ever do) at least I don't have to worry about some asshole cowboy pulling his piece on me.

Bullshit.
Courts don't do that. They will arrest the person and they will take it to court. And then the person who used a "Stand Your Ground" defense has to prove that they were actually in danger.
You make it out like Judges just send them along their way. Bullshit.
Further reality check for you: If I had a carry permit and owned a handgun...I could CARE LESS if there is a "Stand Your Ground" law or not. If somebody were to attack me or my family...I would shoot them. Pretty simple.
You just said you would rather have a gun to protect your wife...but yet you want to take them AWAY from other people.
WTF? Perfect example of "elitism".
You think you are better than other people and should be more privileged...and you don't even realize that you feel that way.
Here's another one for you: Let's say you have a young daughter in her mid 20's.
A man starts coming at her with evil intentions in a deserted parking lot.
Do you want her to have a loaded gun in her purse or would you rather her be unarmed and no chance at all to protect herself?
We both know the answer to that.
Look, I'm not "pro-gun". But I AM pro-constitution.
The older I get the more I realize that Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and the rest of the Founding Fathers were fucking visionary's and geniuses.
They created a Constitution on which EVERYTHING about the U.S. is built on.
And they included a way to CHANGE it by Amendment.
IF we want to disarm ourselves...including YOU and any member of your family...then Congress needs to change the Constitution and repeal the 2nd Amendment.
ANYTHING else is illegal and un-American.
