In reply to the discussion: Gun extremists’ ghastly new low: A fight over “open carry” turns vulgar and scary [View all]LynneSin
(95,337 posts)Sure, I'll call someone a numnuts. I'll even reply to a post and call someone an idiot and that person might call the same back to me. This happens on these forums on the internet.
But I would never ever EVER steal personal photos of someone and do disrespectful things like these assholes are doing. I would never drag someone's child into an argument to protect my rights!
If I was defending my right to choose, my right to vote, my right to marry the person that I love, or even my right to carry a gun into a store - I have so many other ways to defend those rights without doing something so absolutely low and insulting such as these gun nuts are doing.
I respect the right for people to own guns but I also have the right to be able to shop at my local grocery store without wondering if that guy carrying an automatic rifle is just a gun enthusiast or some crazy off his meds wanting to go human hunting. I shouldn't have to live my life in fear and smart gun owners respect that and leave their weapons at home or carry something small enough as to not frighten those people around them.
