Those are not "society"; not when only the thugs are armed. In the 3rd world only the thugs have guns. We have a Constitution (if we only used it) and a 2nd Amendment.

I quit Starbucks because of their politics and then their policy re: CCW just made it ironclad.

how about calling them "do-badders" instead?

They just never stop. MADD has spawned much more socialism and evil than any other group in the recent past. If you can't pass a law that bypasses natural rights--shame them with the Moms. How absurd.

Women like this mouthpiece for a liberal bunch give women a bad name.They overreact, do not study the issues and they jump at events as excuses. Columbine was a tragedy waiting to happen, and it was NOT guns, rather psychotropic drugs and values clarification in school. The curriculum was never studied after the incident, but we studied it a year before and said it was a disaster in the majking.
Sandy Hook? No there is an incident with some conflicts in truth. The so-called weapon was taken from the trunk of the car - AFTER the shooting. The government was conducting tests just down the road that same day. One publicized dead girl was in a photo op with Obama a few days AFTER the shooting. Some of the so-called parents who went on camera were members of the actors union.
These women better start doing some research instead of freaking at the word gun. They should be more concerned how their kids are being brainwahsed in school and overmedicated on psychiatric drugs.

I once bought an AR-15 at a Birmingham Civic Center gun show. I handed cash across a table and the man and the man behind it handed me the weapon. No receipt.
I was carrying it in full sight to my car. So were other folks carrying semiautomatic weapons.
A beggar actually asked for money, saying he had missed lunch at the local homeless shelter.
I was afraid he wanted to snatch my rifle and run. He was bigger and looked faster.
I declined and kept my distance.. Saw a security guard and reported the beggar.
The security guard ran after the beggar. Buh-bye, beggar. That's a story I like to tell..

Hurray for Kroger!
Looks as if they have a set. Let's hope that castration is not in their future.

If you've submitted a NICS check when buying the firearm, you're "registered as owning a firearm". The federal government knows who you are and what firearm you have (type, caliber, and serial number).
If you have gotten the firearm without a NICS check, then your point is worth considering. Then you have to go for the concealed carry, but then of course, you had to apply for that permit, so you're "on record" either way.

Kind of interesting, isn't it - a "private" business cannot refuse entry or service to gays, transvestites, muslims, aliens (from outer space or outside the borders), but may and is often encouraged to refuse it to a person legally exercising their constitutional right. Welcome to the New Amerika!

Don't think that would help FFA, that implies logic and rationality and she has already OD'd on emotionalism and megalomania

"Coalesce into a stupid storm"

Excellent image invoked

+1 for you

Funny thing I did NOT see in that article.

Bearing arms is a constitutionally guaranteed right

Something that cannot be said about the feelings of "mothers"

A very valid concern. Becomes a toss up of protecting your self (as much as feasible) from the Big Brother later or from the little bro's now. Plan A for now, plan B on the shelf.

So then what's the point of making it legal? If every private business can make it illegal, why not just make it illegal? If there is enough public support to make it legal then I think that should be the consensus and those in opposition should leave the businesses alone and deal directly with the government (good luck) :)
