I also get the same vision, :lol:

Just put well-trained armed security at venues where people are expected to gather in numbers. "Gun Free Zones" don't work. Gun Free Zones are just putting up signs that tell gun-toting psychopaths the area is clear for a shooting spree against defenseless people. Murderers that want to kill, or robbers that want to rob, choose low-risk targets that wont fight back. That's how cowards and bullies operate. A well-defended building is a safe building.

I was more aiming at pun intended their idea that you can just hammer away on full auto and it won't affect your aim one bit.

I do agree with certain regulations, but I would never ever support anything vaguely "gun grabby" because I love my guns and being able to have them. However, I do agree that the right to have firearms is not unlimited and does have restrictions just like any other right; it's just where those restrictions are that most sane people seem to debate with a minority calling for near-total or complete bans

Intent is tricky. On its face, a pro-2A open carry-in wouldn't be intended to intimidate, but its a pretty context-based analysis. It doesn't strike me as unconstitutional on its face.

The issue is the presence of guns is considered inherently intimidating by the left.

Well, no. That's like saying "LGBT marriage is considered inherently intimidating by the right."

I lean more left on most things than right, but I still exercise my Second Amendment rights and would always argue for my right to have them as well as any other law-abiding citizen's. Too many people see political ideology as mutually exclusive rather than a spectrum.

Eh, I'd have to side with Emerald on this one. Of the few times I've had co-workers in my vehicle, those who lean way left throw a fit that there is a firearm in my vehicle and seem generally scared. In all of my life I have never understood the illogical fear of a tool as if were some talisman born from the fires of hell.

Because they've been taught to fear guns and to see firearms as tools capable of death and destruction. Which they potentially could be, but the ridiculous fearmongering only focuses on what could happen in a worst case scenario. I remember when I was in elementary school how they'd use fear tactics and try to scare the shit out of us with what could happen if we (10 year olds) found a gun and used it, how if we so much looked at it wrong it'll explode or something. Obviously this is to keep little kids from letting curiosity get the best of them, but a lot of people don't move past this and it sticks with them (which shows you how childish a lot of the stigma against guns really is).

However, like I've said before, it doesn't excuse the mindset that the Second Amendment is unlimited and somehow more special than the other amendmends in the Bill of Rights; they all have their limits and rightfully so.

What most people on the left fail to realize is that a firearm is only as dangerous as the person who wields it. If I were to wield a gun, regardless if it's a rifle, shotgun, or handgun, I would only ever use it in a lawful manner. The mainstream left seems to think that all guns are always dangerous, no matter who it is that uses them.

Your elementary school did a great disservice in that regards and should be rightfully ashamed. When I was in elementary we were taught firearm safety and a general respect towards firearms.
Each enumerated negative right is just as important as the other, however, the 2nd seems to be treated as a cast off/red headed step child/privilege instead of its rightful place as an enumerated negative right. The amount of limits govts place on the 2nd Amendment is a gross violation that they would never heap upon other negative rights.

If by "the left" you mean American liberalism and the Democratic party, then you're misusing the term "left". What you mean is liberal, which is center-right in the USA. If by "the left" you mean some communist boogeyman like in the Cold War, then no. I will now proceed to shoehorn in that quote from old Karl Marx himself.

Honestly the only thing I disagree with AOC on gun control is her proposal to ban semiautos and high capacity magazines. Otherwise I do not see a problem with mandating safe storage of guns, UBGC's, and disarming people convicted of domestic abuse. Here is her tweet.

Yeah, i'm no fan of Robert Francis, and i'll admit I don't know much about AOC, but I wouldn't consider Robby all that leftist. Just a particularly impotent liberal. As for AOC, yeah, she's a lot more to the left, as far as I know. I'll admit, it's tough that American "socialists" take anti-gun positions, antithetical to the position they really should be taking.

Honestly the only thing I disagree with AOC on gun control is her proposal to ban semiautos and high capacity magazines. Otherwise I do not see a problem with mandating safe storage of guns, UBGC's, and disarming people convicted of domestic abuse. Here is her tweet.

The relevant portion:

1. Teaches or demonstrates to any other person the use, application, or making of any firearm, explosive, or incendiary device, or technique capable of causing injury or death to persons, knowing or having reason to know or intending that such training will be employed for use in, or in furtherance of, a civil disorder; or

3. Assembles with one or more persons with the intent of intimidating any person or group of persons by drilling, parading, or marching with any firearm, any explosive or incendiary device, or any components or combination thereof.
