I was thinking about this on my way in, and I've decided that it's not about "who would/should/could win." Bottom line is you better hope you've got a few armaments in place when you need them.

Yeshua is coming to DESTROY when he returns, per what I've read in Revelations. So get right, get armed, and get extra ammo!! :) Because between then and now, we have forces of darkness to contend with.

Rev 19:15 - And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

That's your opinion. Others, like myself, aren't constrained by myth. I am, however, concerned that there are people out there determined to bring about their versions of the "end of times" -- or whatever their books call it -- by means of self-fulfilled prophecy. It's a scary thought when ancient ideologies pair up with modern technologies.

If someone can not be trusted with a gun, why are they free?

When I'm on the road, it's inevitable that I see yahoos doing nutty things with their cars. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has encountered a nitwit behind the wheel. Now think of those who can't drive -- either because they can't pass the tests or because some action caused the revocation of their licenses. But in most cases, they can still get guns.

Those who are gun enthusiasts are not the problem. They have knowledge, training, experience, etc. While I don't personally own a gun, I have hunters, military, and amateur gun owners in the family and among close friends. I've gone shooting with some of them a few times -- and enjoyed it. Not a one of them would be someone I'd say "you shouldn't have a gun." And I'd wager that most on this thread would fall into that camp. Those gun owners should be proud, and consider their "club" to be one of earned proficiency and responsibility. Why you'd want to diminish that by fighting for the freedom for any wacko to be able to buy firearms without passing some sort of test is beyond me.

I'm sure you've all come across various YouTube or Facebook videos of stupid people doing stupid things and getting hurt. Do you really want every one of those yahoos to be as easily able to own a gun as someone who knows what (s)he's doing, like you? Do you want to live in a world where everywhere you go, people are armed "because it's their right"? Think of how many times someone "got the wrong idea" and flew off the handle. Now add the finality of a bullet. You can all talk about how fast you can draw and how dead-on your aim is, but that's in a controlled situation where you know what's going on. Do you go through life constantly "on guard"? Do you want to? After all, someone out there may have a "sincerely held religious belief" that you resemble the enemy and must be taken out.

In reality, this "they're coming to take your guns!" is fear-mongering by the gun lobby because they don't want to lose ANY potential customers, regardless of their proficiency, responsibility, or sanity.

What I don't understand about gay people getting married and buying wedding cakes is why do they have to have just that one cake or that one license? If someone doesn't want to sell me a cake, I just go on to some other bakery. There are thousands of bakeries out there that don't care.

Likewise, there are other counties down the road that will sell them a marriage license.

There are justices of the peace and clergymen that for a hundred dollars will marry a cat and a dog.

It is not a live and let live situation, but almost seems as if the gays are looking for an issue to complain about. It looks like they are trying to force respect from others, and in their case, that just isn't going to happen.

It's a case of wanting their 15 minutes of fame.
Why drive 10 minutes down the road, when I can be on T.V. here.
I would wager that some may have drove pass a place to get one to go to this office.
It's also the clerk wanting her face time on T.V.
