I will make it my life's goal to litter your parking lot with my old factory reloads that I've stopped using.
please post your home address?
No, do some re-reading and you'll see that I was talking about the office building in which I work. I have PM'ed Gunsmith, anyone else who wants my work address can come leave rounds in the parking lot, just PM me and I'll send it out.
Incidentally, I'm right outside of DC, where there's this minor 2nd amendment related debate going on, and my work building is about a mile from NRA HQ. So please PM me back your real names and addresses. When the police cross-reference everyone in the building with CHPs, hunting permits, and commonwealth lists of firearms sales, they're going to find ME, and I want to point them in the right direction, and I want you all to get the proper honors for pointing out in such a great location exactly how safe unchambered live ammunition is.
I have a daughter who is not allowed to play with live ammunition, so you guys won't be visiting me at home.
You spend too much time worrying about what others think and carrying water for strangers.
You can poo-poo the banners if you want, but I think it's counterproductive. But answer the questions: how does dropping live rounds in random locations not send the message that it's ok to play around with ammunition? And the follow up question, how does that currently help our cause?
The way I understand this is that you have complete government control on one end of the spectrum, and complete personal responsibility on the other end of the spectrum.
The banners are talking about shifting ammo ownership toward the government control end.
You guys are rightfully arguing against that, but you're not constructing an argument that includes how you're going to be personally responsible. You're simply stating facts that have nothing to do with the argument.
If we put up signs that say 30MPH, and took away speeding laws, we'd expect everyone to be personally responsible enough to adhere to that guideline. As soon as someone drives 35MPH, though, they kick the hornet's nest and everyone comes down on the rest of society like a ton of bricks and we get speeding laws back.
Whether or not the 35MPH driver ever put anyone in danger is not the point. The point is that society in general has decided that 30 is the speed limit.
I don't know how many times I can say that the point isn't whether or not the ammo is dangerous.
I assert that society in general has decided that they don't want live ammo being left around in random locations. Truthfully, I don't know why you're fighting that. I don't understand your motivations here.
I also don't see what point leaving live rounds all over my work's parking lot is going to make. You're not going to hurt MY feelings.
And when the grabbers come arguing that we're not personally responsible enough to own firearms, I don't see how it would make us ALL look like anything other than a bunch of wannabe Rambo slobs: basically the poster children for why the public shouldn't own guns.
Am I seriously the only person who thinks like this?
