I also try to behave myself in public, but not because I am afraid of getting shot.

I am glad to live somewhere where I have a he freedom to be an ***, whether or not I choose to exercise that freedom.

People where I live are generally polite I think, but if the penalty for sarcasm was execution there’d be no one in England left alive

Is this some kind of " gotcha" ? Because you know there will probably be plenty of armed people there, correct? You can't carry during Trumps speech because of a rule by the secret service , not the NRA.

That is an authoritarian dictatorship. If you are not allow to carry around a suitcase nuclear weapon, you are a slave to the evil state and government and you have no freedom at all. I knew it, you have a slave mind like the rest of us. We are all cowards and not good guys with weapons. ;)

Here is an idea for consideration concerning the upcoming NRA convention.

Everyone attending should be required to carry a gun. No admission unless you can show that you have a loaded gun on your person, rifle or hand gun doesn’t matter, just as long as you can kill someone.

According to what I have been told that should make it the safest place on the planet. All these good people with guns, what could go wrong?


Do you think that would be a safe place to be?

There is no "safe place" on the planet.
Any where you go you can be killed, or injured.
So you idea does not hold water and is nothing more than click bait.

So apparently the secret service doesn’t think it would be safe.

But no, it was not intended as a “gotcha”, it was intended as a thought experiment, an “intuition pump” if you like.

The secret service isn't the NRA. Everyone carrying at a NRA convention is allowed. I thought that was the question.

You should stop worrying about that. In practice if it was that bad, there would be no humans.

Those things probably won't start a gunfight.

Are we still talking about an NRA convention or the wild west? Is Wyatt Earp going to start shooting at the O.K. corral? Or perhaps you have it confused with some locations mentioned in rap songs like Compton or something. I think you'd be fine.

Just like every one having nuclear bombs and delivery systems.

Obviously in an ideal world; no one would have nuclear bombs. However, once pandour's box is open it can't be closed. The only way to beat them is to join them. To defend yourself against nuclear bombs; you need your own nuclear bombs. Unfortunate, but true.

I find the subject very interesting. So many people evidently carry guns for protection. :) Hope they don't have a loose trigger finger. It's ridiculous. And that's all, they say.

that's your belief. Mine is that the box will certainly and absolutely be closed. Because that's what the Bible says, whether anyone believes it or not.

Just watching a documentary about WW2. Quite a few people were killed during that war. Couldn't figure bigger and better guns, hmm, finally the scientists figured how to make a bigggg....bomb....and now, of course, they're predicting that the climate change is gonna make a big deal. :) So as the human race moves along, not only do some carry guns for "protection"(?) but according to science, it's all gonna be over anyway. I'm glad I believe what I believe about the Bible and the future.

Yeah, you have found a way of coping. That is good for you.
