Thought I’d play a quick bit of word association for you.
“If you are going to spend three, four or $500 on a stylish outfit, spending $50 on a burqa is not a big deal,”
I mean it would stem so may societal problems of having woman-flesh exposed wouldn’t it? Of course you can read the origonal quote here. Of course locking up a defensive gun just for the sake of locking it up is pretty foolish, as I’ve illustrated. And demanding it is about as legal as demanding a woman to cover up. Oh and FYI Burqas are in fact about $50 with shipping.
This is the world they want for us.
The blue brings out your eyes!
a) Agreed on all points. Secure storage when children are present is one thing, but locking it up just to lock it up is pointless. I have no children, so my guns are secured against theft to the best of my current ability, except for my pre-positioned defensive guns – because those need to be accessible if they’re needed, and it’s extremely unlikely I’ll have more than a few seconds notice if I do need them, so they need to be immediately accessible. If I ever have children over, I’ll have enough advance notice to secure those before they arrive.
b) “I mean it would steam so may societal problems[…]” Not to be a grammar nazi, (or at least hopefully being a friendly grammar nazi) but I believe you mean “I mean it would stem so may societal problems”.
I only mention it because I saw you do the same thing in your “Notes from Oz” post yesterday, too, and just assumed it was a typo.
Yep, if you don’t have young children (9 or 10+ should know how to shoot and how to behave ) or guests wandering about, all you need is to keep your doors locked. I like to keep non-defensive firearms locked up just for safe keeping, and good sense (if I don’t need them in a hurry, what’s the harm)
Its no different than your cleaning chemicals. Lock them up of there are toddlers about, say “do not touch” to everybody else.
BTW, thanks for the typo notice. Odd that I made it twice in a row, the two words don’t even look or sound alike!
Don’t forget to demand that all women are held accountable if other women are raped or if a woman doesn’t wear the burqa.
It’s for their own protection, so therefore the women should be policing themselves, right?
Maybe we can get a friendly Congress critter to introduce a bill redirecting some of the hundreds of thousands of tax dollars sportsmen and gun owners pay each year — let’s introduce a program that provides quick access safes to any gun owner.
I’m sure the Brady Campaign and the Joyce foundation would provide matching funds, right?
The day they come to put me in a Birka is the day I go down with the very LAST bullet I have left in my ammo stash. I spend less than $50 or $100 on my every day clothes. Plus one of those things would be a bitch to wear in the winter. And I’d still have to spend insane amounts of money for a comfy bra in my size. Not to care about looks, but hello back problems.
Not a bad allusion between the two.
Agreed. Keep them in the kitchen where they belong. That’s “safe storage” right? *
*I kid of course.
“Safe Storage! ” LOL I’m totally going to use that next time I want to get smacked.
Ahhh… for the good old days when men were men and women were property…
I KEED! I KEED!
Once we do something to better preserve our Constitutionally-protected rights, we really are going to have to address this growing trend to blame the victim in specific circumstances… I will largely agree that leaving my front door unlocked and the keys to that multi-million-dollar sports car I do not have visible on the kitchen table may not be the smartest thing in the world, but punishing me when someone walks into my house uninvited, steals the car, and drives it through a crowd of tailgaters is just plain idiotic.
If I were to personally hand a firearm to a known criminal who then went and killed a host of people, sure, string me up on charges of accessory to murder and whatnot else. But holding people responsible for the actions of individuals that they had absolutely no control over is wrong no matter how you cut it.
I have to wonder if this is a contributing factor in our grandparents leaving everything unlocked, and us locking everything – the knowledge that not only can the criminals get away with it, but also that someone else will be blamed.
