Y'know, I was thinking.
I noticed a few guys here mention that they don't carry their guns on campus, because of school policy.
TAPCO, a gun parts dealer, has recently announced that they will no longer ship to college campuses... Even though the customer is entirely legally permitted to own the things he/she ordered.
I really, really don't get this mindset.
I mean, here we are. Gun owners. We all get up and talk about the end days of gun ownership, and some grand final stand.
I know it is cliche amongst the supposed enlightened amongst us to say
"When the guns are called for, they will be turned in"- which meets with a hail of "FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!" replys.
I am really, really thinking that this is the case.
I mean, if our community doesn't have the sack to defy these laws now, how can we expect to fight the "gun bans" when the conciquences are a hell of a lot harsher than what we face today?
And before you try to turn it around on me, and say "Well, why don't YOU! do so-and-so", i'll answer you ahead of time by saying I DO defy these laws.
I don't think a rifle is any more lethal with a flash supressor- so I don't follow that law.
Carrying guns at college?
Well, look at it like this.
If your son/daughter was in my class when a madman entered the classroom and opened fire, you would be thankful I was there. That's all i'll say on that.
I'm not asking anyone to elaborate on exactly "what" they do to fight the power. I know that there are a lot of guys who go about their buisness with their goodies, and keep their mouths shut about it. That's fine.
What I am putting into question are the gun owners who passivley support these laws by agreeing with companies like TAPCO, or by hollering at students who break school policy in order to protect themselves.
I know these people reside amongst us.
What do you think?
