The state of Tennessee revoked a gun nut's carry permit because he made threats

[jpak]

I hope we see more of this.

Dumbass GOP/NRA "Shall Issue" carry laws should all be repealed and no one except law enforcement should be allowed to carry a concealed firearm.

yup

[Tippy]

1. Saw this jerk on the news last night

He made Michell Bachman sound almost sane...however he backed off his positipn almmost imediately...so we will see how soon charges are dropped

[Bay Boy]

2. No link?

I'll be willing to agree with you that if the person made threats he should be punished, possibly with something more than the revoking of a permit.

4. Here ya go...

The douche canoe got what was coming to him.

Let this be the first of many.

yup

[krispos42]

3. If there is due process to revoke permits....

...then the law does not need to be removed or changed.

[jpak]

5. All concealed carry laws need to be changed

No one but trained and qualified law enforcement should be allowed to carry a concealed firearm.'

yup

6. the oligarchy supports your position nt

[ThatPoetGuy]

8. No, the oligarchy supports yours. As do white supremacists, paranoid lunatics,

and various other shades of right-wing ideology.

Give me a list of people who have argued that poor people shouldn't be allowed to vote, and it'll also be a list of people who support gun proliferation. So why is it that all the oligarchs are also pro-gun? The answer is based on ideology.

9. throw crumbs to the common people

to put up the facade of being for the working class esp rural working class, a block the Dems pissed off. They don't like Evangelicals, white or black, but are more than happy to exploit them for their purposes. Same thing with gun owners. That is why GOP talks about family values but that is it. A lot of old time conservatives were and are anti gun. Bill Buckley, Ron Reagan, Mitt, George Will, just to name a few.
Besides, by depressing wages they get a de facto ban for the rest of us, while they can still afford all the guns they want. In short, they want a UK style gun culture, just by other means. Trust me, in the UK the rich have all the gun permits they want.

[Straw Man]

12. All the oligarchs are pro-gun?

You mean like Michael Bloomberg?

Give me a list of people who have argued that poor people shouldn't be allowed to vote, and it'll also be a list of people who support gun proliferation.

Well I guess you've got me there. I strongly believe that everyone should be allowed to vote, and I do not support " gun proliferation." I do, however, support the right of every mentally healthy, law-abiding individual to own and carry a gun if he or she chooses to do so.

14. Michael Bloomberg is VERY pro-gun.

His security detail has many.

[krispos42]

13. And the people that would move out of their house if their neighbor owns a gun?

They're not paranoid?

How about the people that think the buffoonish caricatures created by editorial cartoons are real, and fear them so much they demand that the government disarms them?


Do you really think that you are at any risk of being killed by a member of a "patriot militia"? Trust me, if the remote chance of you dying from a gunshot would come through, there's a damn good change the gunman isn't old, isn't white, isn't wearing camo, isn't waving an "assault weapon", and doesn't care about your political ideology.



The oligarchy support them only because they can control them, convince them to vote to make corporations stronger and government weaker. Trust me, if liberals were the ones buying most of the guns, you'd get all the gun control laws you wanted.

15. I would never tell my neighbours ...

... that I have firearms in the house.

I'm much too fond of surprises.

[jpak]

11. I am the oligarchy and all your permits are us

yup

[DonP]

7. ... and what are you doing to repeal CCW?

Besides sitting, whining and posting juvenile gun porn online?

No petitions? No LTTE? No community grass roots organizing?

[spin]

10. Produce some reliable statistics that show that a large number of those of legally carry ...

are actually threats to society and I will reconsider my view.

I'll make it even simpler for you. Simply produce some reliable statistics that people with concealed weapons permits misuse their firearms more than "trained and qualified law enforcement."

[holdencaufield]

16. Many Tennessee Democrats ...

... in the state legislature support RKBA and "Shall Issue" -- are they "gun nuts" too? Or, is it just the Republicans who take the same position?

Maybe this is a question that transcends party?
