BF2S Forums Gun politics, firearms ownership, and US 2nd amendment discussion

All the cop had to say was "I suspect you of XYZ" and he would have been in the clear to take the gun, arrest the guy on suspicion etc, but no - he wanted the guy to bow to his authority and do what he was told. He was being a dick.

I haven't had a cop look up by bum, no.

such a great point omg

Well, I already got my fix of shooting people.

10/10 Highly recommended. Even got a paycheck for it.

5-year-old shoots 2-year-old sister in Kentucky


I don't know which one the "trained" kid was "playing with" while the mom who knew he was "playing" with it stepped outside, but here's the brightly-colored, attractive lineup marketed for children:

Examples -





pew pew pew pew *boom*





wtf america




Anyway, the whole story stinks of bullshit. Either they're lying about the kid being properly trained or the kid is being framed by his own parent.

We should turn rural Kentucky into suburbs and force the poor rural people to live in government housing if they can't afford to live in a newly built suburban complex.

Nothing. I'm just saying what I think about the rural South.

have you even been to kentucky

So lets blame the manufacturer who makes a rifle that is sized for a kid, that seems like a good idea. Forget holding the parents accountable and keeping the firearms out of reach when adult supervision is not present....


It shouldnt be wtf america, it should be wtf were the parents thinking. If the way of life in the rural areas of Kentucky is for young kids to learn to shoot, hunt, and fish then I see no issue with children being able to use a firearm. The issue here isn't that the 5 year old had access or even that he knew how to use it. The issue should be that the gun was not properly stored and the 5 year old had unsupervised access to it.

no, it should be "wtf were the companies thinking". some people are stupid. many parents are irresponsible. however making kiddie-sized rifles, or stupid multicoloured 'accessories' that make a gun look like a toy... is sinister and manipulative. there is no need for those products to exist. it is literally marketing a lethal weapon and trying to make it desirable to someone who, really, shouldn't have any interest in it.

i swear 40 years ago kids would play with replica, toy, plastic guns. nowadays they play with real guns that are made to look like they are plastic toys. the toy companies started giving over their profit to the real gun companies - you see, it's just so much more lucrative when you get a 'customer for life' snagged at age 8. and that is all this is about: making this 'gun culture' seem normative to people from a very young age. give a kid a toyish looking gun when they're 8, you can bet they'll still be giving you money when they're 25.

Aaaaand cricket.com (the sherbert guns-are-toys people) is down for maintenance. I wonder if they'll go back up again.

but the gun companies shouldn't take responsibility for making accessories or weapon-kits that appeal to children, right? "freedom", and all that.

what utter tosh. these companies want to sell guns to young kids for the same reason mcdonalds want to entice youngsters with happy meals. it's basic business #101: people are creatures of habit, people don't like change; acquire a customer from a young age, and they will tend to keep coming back.

heh...
Apologies, I typed that a bit too quick and had to hunker in at work... But, I was poking fun at that camo color as it being a setup for a soldier should he/she find themselves involved in combat in a barbie factory.

I don't see anything wrong with making a product that appeals to the ladies.  I'm not too sure that firearms companies are targeting the youth.  I submit to you that it is the culture and media that glamorize weapons.  Look at hollywood movies, cartoons, video games, toy guns (water/nerf/laser/paintball/airsoft/cap/disc).

What really going on with the children though.... Indoctrination from the hard left through the liberally skewed public education machine has instilled and cultivated generations to be fearful of firearms and loathe the Second Amendment.  The false ideology they are taught is largely unchallenged but when it is.... If memory serves correct a student was recently arrested for wearing a t-shirt to school that depicted a picture of an AR along with the verbiage "I support the 2nd amendment"...  Another child was suspended because the teacher thought he bit his poptart into the shape of a gun.  Yet, another was disciplined because he had little green army men atop his cupcakes.  It is sheer lunacy.  When I went through school, it wasn't like that.  Young men had rifles on gun racks in their pickup trucks in High school parking lots.  We didn't freak out when johnny dressed up like an army man and brought a cap gun on Halloween to a school event.  Our schools weren't labeled as gun free zones.  We also didn't have these kinds of spree shootings. 

I can't even begin to get stared about the potus that wants to confiscate all firearms, and has the DOJ wrapped up in a scandal caught authorizing straw man purchases for running guns into mexico, and killing US agents.   Damn, I'm jumping gears so I'll shaddup now.

Why do we need guns?  Blah blah civil liberties blah.  The constitution is like a million years old now.  So fucking backwards that these "patriots" are still defending a "right" that is obviously outdated and only meant for its period.
