    Open or concealed carry is insane. You Americans are unhinged.

    This is from a gun owner.

          Nifty. Neither being a firearm owner nor count of firearms in any way invalidates the decisions of those who choose to do so.

            You’re right. It was only a side point to imply that not every gun owner is as loony as certain American ones.

              Unfortunately, the only loony stance here is that legally carrying firearms is somehow a loony thing to do.

              It’s always weird seeing how incapable some people are of considering that a different point of view is every bit as valid as their own.

                Not all views are valid. That should be pretty obvious. I don’t consider carrying a firearm to be a valid view. It’s paranoia on the level of believing lizard people run government.

                  I don’t consider carrying a firearm to be a valid view.

                  It’s interesting that you seem incapable of considering yours may be the invalid view.

                  It’s paranoia on the level of believing lizard people run government.

                  I’d argue being so terrified of the possibility someone might be legally carrying a firearm to, itself, be the indicator of paranoia.

    “I welcome the debate and fight about how to make New Mexicans safer,” she said at a news conference, flanked by law enforcement officers."
    It’s only temporary and there’s bound to be exceptions.
    Seems like she is desperately making a wake-up call to gun owners to come up with a solution to killings.

    Well, its kill or be killed out there. If you’re the only one alive, they can only hear your side of the story

    Ah yeah… Not constitutional.

    She’s just doing this for her image.
