Then what is your issue? I'm happy to show you mine, friend! (I posted this on THR.)
His statement is an opinion, it's a
perfectly valid (because it is HIS) opinion, and he has a right to have it.
You know, things like AR-15's
are assault rifles. Assault rifles are -- without question -- readily used in terroristic (force change through fear, intimidation, force, et al) fashion, including by our military.
Does that make anyone who carries/uses one a terrorist? "Of course not."
The rabid gun world -- including the variety of knee-jerk nutjobs in this very thread who have gone nuclear with their comments -- is reacting as if it
does.It is
this emboldened and radical dogma, spilling out in "Cold, Dead Hands" fashion, that creates the firestorm and burdens responsible gun owners with ridiculously horrific stereotype: not the single-note opinion of a lone blogger. (Bah!)
In general,
gun owners give firearm ownership a bad name, not those that seek to limit it.
Own what you desire, use it for it's intended purpose, and don't be a dumbass by appearing the knee-jerk radical. It's not complicated.
I suggest you read the blog replies over there, Ezekiel. Your opinion is outnumbered by about literally 5000 to 1.
