    WHERE in the US Constitution does the word FIREARMS mentioned? Please show me such. Don't deflect with your silliness.

    In Sweden you get free grenades with your firearms purchase.
    That is how gun control works in the real world. ;-)

    When one in three citizens are carrying concealed guns within a month virtually no one will pull a gun in public. Governments should encourage the people to arm themselves ASAP. It will save thousands of lives quickly.

    Nope, turning policing over to self-appointed CCWs is a disaster that will result in more deaths as the John Rambos kill each other.

    Now add on the retailers charge for doing the paper work which seems to be around $8.

    Since most of my firearms I own there is no record that I possess these firearms since I purchased them back when the transaction records had to be destroyed after three years because keeping such a record by the government is Nazi like, commie like and would be considered to be gun registration.

    Basically I wasn't in the system and I shouldn't be.

    It's none of governments business if I posses a firearm and how many firearms I own or how many rounds of ammunition I possess.

    Anyone who advocates gun registration or conducting a background check to purchase ammunition is likely a totalitarian wannabe. Or are just really low information who has the government monkey on their backs.

    Gun owners tend to be very responsible and law abiding people. You have some weird fantasy image of what gun owners are like.

    You have a fantasy as if you know how this will turn out with John Rambos running all over the place.

    Keep those fantasies to yourself, please.

    I believe any normal American or person will resist. Why? All you need to do is to look at glorious cities of Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Oakland etc...which have bern under Democrats/Liberal control for decades. Carnage, death, gangs, poverty, zero security for common folks etc...Why would anyone accept that shyte?

    You believe wrongly then, not understanding that the average citizens overwhelmingly support BUC and Red Flag laws.

    No one is after your guns, unless you are a mental threat.

    Except for the fact that such is simply not the case. Those who possess concealed carry permits possess no law enforcement authority. They are not tasked with preventing crimes from being committed, they are merely tasked with protecting their own lives against criminal actions.

    Beto O'Rourke already openly admitted that they are indeed after the legally owned firearms of private individuals.

    Modern government policing is the disaster.
    Everyone knows that now.

    The economy is doing well. So I guess you're saying that a good economy leads to mass murder?

    The problem is that our society thrives on separating and alienating people, which is what causes the mass murderers.That's why we get mass murderers of all social bents.

    The rest of your post is just general gun control bull. Basically you want to give the police the right to control you. Do you want to get rid of jury trials next?

    If there's enough support, we can also get rid of the jury trial, and freedom of speech.

    In Florida, about 12% of the population has concealed carry permits. It would be impossible to increase "'a good guy with a gun' a hundred times"

    Yet, it hasn't happened in FL, where approximately 12% of adults have a concealed carry permit. CCW permit holders have a lower per capita rate of crime than most population groups INCLUDING police officers.

    I am talking about Texas where the incident happened, so don't shift the arena.

    The state governments will never permit 'private' policing by 'good guys with guns.'

    Self policing would only make it far worse.

    Several of my police friends say that if they come on a scene with a guy waving a gun, they will shout 'freeze' then shoot. They want to go home at the end of the shift.

    Texas has about a million concealed carry permits, and and overall population of about 29 million, which is about 3.5 % of the population. A hundred times more is impossible.
