(14,337 posts)This is what these pro-gun people simply cannot understand. They think guns are the answer and refuse to believe that other people don't think the same. I will include people who have witnessed violent crime themselves. Members of that church wanted to carry guns there? How about peace and prayers have no place for bringing Glocks into?
It has taken 40 years for my NRA gun owning husband to finally give up on me. No, I do not want to learn to use your guns. No, I do not want YOU to buy and gift me a gun so I would not have to wait or go through a background check. That one really infuriated me, only a few years ago. IF I wanted a gun for myself, I could pass my OWN BACKGROUND check.
This is my own personal pet peeve; which relates both to Lanza and Roof. Relatives giving guns as gifts.
Personally, I think these pro gun people do need not strangers, but their own FAMILY members, making them see the light.
