A gun shop owner's response to protesters

Spoon makers are indeed complicit in the ingestion of food.

Markers are accomplices of poorly made signs.

I have a question. I have gotten the impression that all of reddit loves guns. Am I wrong? And if I'm not, why is that?

(okay, that was actually two questions)

If you recently saw a submission of the same name, sorry for any confusion. I dun goofed and submitted an image that could be linked directly to Facebook. For anonymity's sake, I deleted that post and created this one instead. Oops.

As an avid marksman (I refuse to hunt) and firearm owner, I'm okay with it being difficult to get access to firearms.

I know this will get buried in the pile of comments, but as a gun owner, I felt the desire to weigh in on a couple points.

1) I see a lot of people making the "why do you need automatic/assualt weapons?" argument. What people don't realize that often a semi-automatic/automatic/assault designation is often times arbitrary. A non-gun owner/or anti-gun person hears "automatic weapon" and assumes it's an uzi or an AK-47 spitting out hundreds of rounds a minute, when some laws and criteria for designating a gun as an "assault weapon" are if they having a removable clip with a capacity to carry 5 more rounds, which is actually extremely common trait in a hunting rifle. Or some states laws say a gun can't have a thumbhole stock or pistol grips, which when you're in the woods and trying to use one hand to move branches out of the way or reach for you binoculars, is extremely useful to have.

2) Just like the war on drugs has failed at curbing drug use, gun control doesn't curb gun violence. Do less people use crack or heroin because it's illegal? No. Same with guns. A person looking to use a gun for illegal purposes will find it illegally. If you are going to commit a violent crime with a gun, you aren't concerned with the legality of procuring or possessing it. YES--guns kill. YES-hard drugs kill. In fact, in 2009 there were 11,493 firearm homicides in the US. [Source] compared to 37,485 drug related deaths [Source] So what is more deadly? You can argue guns are engineered to kill, true. But hard drugs are too. Whether they kill or not depends on who wields them.

Most legal gun owners are responsible citizens and harmless to the rest of the public. Just like people who smoke weed pose absolutely no harm. Yet legal gun owners, like pot smokers, are often persecuted because they are lumped in with a criminal population in which they share a tangential relationship.

FALSE: The foods that made me fat required no utensils at all. (Hamburgers, burritos, fries, nachos, pizza, doughnuts...)

Misusing a spoon won't make someone else fat.

What I don't understand is why so many people can clearly see that gun makers/sellers have nothing to do with the robbery a person commits using a gun, but no one seems to understand that the software makers/sellers/distributors equally have nothing to do with the illegal activities of the software users.

food kills a hell of a lot more people a year than guns.

Those are you in England and worry about our gun laws you have to look to the revolutionary war.

To put it simply, outside governments, and ours, are less likely to mess with us if we are allowed to and have guns.

I think the founding fathers understood this.

I love guns. Its my hobby. But all in all this thread is good just for the debate and everything. Also if someone who has never shot a gun but has a chance, do it! Go to the range and have a blast. Nothing wrong with exercising your freedom.

This gun store (the shooters shop) is only a block away from my house!

I read it as "spooks" and thought it was going to be a racist thread. I signed in and learned I was wrong. I'm glad I was wrong. I support the responsible ownership and use of firearms. Unfortunately, criminals and morons ruin it for everyone. Good for the shop owner.

If we need to get rid of guns as their only purpose is to kill, then we need to get rid of Porsches and Corvettes as their only purpose is to go at extra-legal speeds.
