Does Anyone Believe I Should Not Be Allowed To Own Firearms?

Well let's hear it, and please provide a good reason for your opinion.

Are you a felon or a section 8? If so then you should not be able to own a firearm. Otherwise lock, load, be merry.

I don't know you. How could I make that judgment?

I don't know if you've got a felony past, or are a drug addict, or have been adjudicated mentally incompetent. I don't know if you're a hothead.

There are indeed certain people who do not live up to the level of responsibility where they should have firearms. But they also should not have automobiles. They can do just as much damage. It would be nice if we could somehow prevent them from having matches and bottles filled with gasoline, too, but what it comes down to is that we can't. We have to live, as a society, with a certain amount of unavoidable danger.

If you are a normal, level-headed person who is not a criminal, then by all means, I think you should have the right to have firearms.

No felonies, no arrests, no drug use, no drinking problems, no mental problems, no problems controlling my own emotions in any situation.

Thanks for pointing out what the disqualifications are.

I may or may not own quite a few firearms.

Some might just make certain anti-gun people on this forum hyperventilate, or lose sleep.

You are welcome. But I was wondering, was your post a "test"? Were you waiting to see if I'd say, "SURE you should be allowed to own firearms" as a knee-jerk without knowing anything about you? Isn't that what anti-gunners want to believe we pro-gunners believe?

Being warped is kinda like being a looney, so no, you shouldn't be allowed to own any.

Exactly my point, now for the anti-gun crowd to come up with some emotional plea for me to be precluded from having my second amendment rights.

A form 4473 does ask about mental illness, being a fugitive from justice, drug use etc.

What is up with people like you who swoop in, call someone wrong, but refuse to say why they're supposedly wrong?

Let me point out that I did not claim to be making a comprehensive list of the disqualifiers in the first place.

But what was wrong, anyway?

It doesn't ask if you're a "hothead".

Of course, but I was answering about whether I thought he should be allowed to own firearms. Where did I represent "hothead" as part of any official criteria? It would be part of mine, but I never said it was on the 4473, did I.

No looney in the definition

Different than the norm YES

Do you truly think I should be disqualified?

Or were you just having a laugh?

Yep, looks like you're A-OK. Until they "improve" the rules (for safety's sake of course), anyway.

Gimme a break. You've seen my posts on the subject. Just messing around (think ".... another looney with a gun...").

Hey, so called NORMAL people are pretty fucking scary.

Those are the same people who profess to know which of our rights we should be allowed to keep.

[warpedskydiver 0]

I know, just checking to see if you have had a change of heart in regards to me.

No Problema

For all we know Kallend abducted you and took over your keyboard.

Damn have all the hand wringing, fearful, anti-gun zealots gone to bed already?

Or are they just cleaning their false teeth?

Interesting point. Legal-restrictions-wise, it's way easier to become President/Senator/SC Justice, etc., than it is for you or me to buy a gun.

They're hugging their trees goodnight. Or hiding from the imaginary bullets.

Fuck, I'm pretty drunk - time to go shootin'.

That's rich, from a guy who refuses to answer the issue of innocent people being executed in several recent threads.
