It is hard to converse with one who has admitted to never being in a life threatening circumstance on any moral grounds whatsoever, while simultaneously espousing moral and technical superiority in the same.
Something about specific lack of knowledge in regards to Donkeys and circular voids.
swine is a egotistical, narcissistic individual who shuns proof when counter to his fabricated reality, but will surely claim moral superiority over any person who is able to provide sufficient counterpoint.
swine has come here claiming open mindedness, much like the claims of his "people" he claims to "represent", wherein his aforementioned narcissistic behavior leads him to believe that he speaks with authority for "100 million people", in this country.
Swine is the epitome of the "oh woe is me, I am so oppressed!" mentality, as he shares his meaningless diatribe about never seeing combat, and making love to other men in the 60's.
He will dictate how trained combat professionals ducked and cowered in fear as he, and he alone, mishandled a pistol on the qualifying range while in the Army. During the 60's, it is far more likely that the other soldiers on the range would have folded him in half, and hazed him back to reality. Training exercises happen. Oops.
He provides himself as the clear cut example of stupidity in America, using his mentally deranged, and dangerous mindset as a platform for why "firearms should not be allowed", projecting his inadequacies onto every other human being he meets.
While clearly expressing an unfounded, irrational, and mentally ill status (He has confirmed he is seeing a Psychiatrist), he will go on and on about how children die from firearms every year, while simultaneously skirting the outright ban of firearms by saying that he is not, "Against firearm ownership in the home".
It's hard to follow swines zigzagging all over conversations and posts.
While admitting he is not against firearms in the home, he tries desperately to cling to "child safety" as basis for not open carrying, patently ignoring that no children have ever died from an open carrier in the act of open carrying, and that child mortality statistics confirm accidental death
in the house as the leading cause of FIREARM related child death.
Which by the way is significantly higher in automobile accidents and swimming pool drownings.
However, he justifies automobiles as "ok" because he proclaims that "firearms are designed to kill", while "automobiles are not".
So therefore it is, to him, morally superior to cause mass death by an object not specifically "designed to kill" as he puts it, regardless of whether or not it is significantly higher than an object "designed to kill".
swine is the shining example of what is wrong with a certain party, or caste of people in this society.
He is his very own counterpoint, and is too stupid to realize otherwise.
All positive points, and clear, factual examples are lost on him. So is historical perspective, and rational thought. He is so overtly pompous that unless it came from his cranium, it clearly does not matter.
What do we know about swine? Some insight:
--He has mental health concerns, and is seeing a therapist.
--He will pull a knife on somebody just because someone else was being loud. He has judgment issues.
--He will purchase a single movie theater ticket, which shows the name of the one movie viewing and time that he is allowed to watch, then demand some sort of fictional, non-existent "inalienable right" to stay and watch a second movie, ignoring all private property rights of the establishments owner.
and above all else...
--He will certainly waste no time projecting his mental, social, historical, and legal inadequacies on you.
swine is clown shoes.
Ignore him.

No. That is actually completely and totally incorrect.
The predominant opinion on this site, and in the open carry movement itself is:
"People are inherently good, and when unified in the exercising of our rights to defend ourselves, the criminals find near no opportunity to exploit their malicious acts."
Hence, "An armed society, is a polite society".
The idea has been, from the start, that the vast majority of this nation is wonderful people, who have integrity, and are law abiding citizens contributing to their respective localizations.
I do not fear my fellow man enough to warrant carrying any form of arms he deems necessary.
I instead respect my fellow man enough, to embrace his right to do the same.
You should try viewing the world like that sometime. It's liberating.
