The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

[Jarnhamar]

A pretty classless protest against the PS minister today at the Almonte Gun Show.

Could be some classless firearm owners.

Or, maybe some classless people who don't own firearms.

It a gun show. There won't be any liberals there to get offended.

You are 100% wrong. I voted liberal, hold socially liberal views, and go to every gun show in the Medicine Hat area as well as the regular visits to range.
Maybe if you didn't try to constantly piss off people like me life wouldn't be so hard for you.

I lean more conservative, but this crap pushes me away too.

Where I come from, being respectful is the baseline for communication. If people are disrespectful, they aren't taken seriously. This sort of behaviour, ignored or supported by the firearms community at large, just makes the gun grabbers jobs easier.

Are you referring to the "Don't tread on me" with the rattlesnake in the USA? The flag (or mantra in general) associated with rednecks, hillbillies, those sort of people? I guess it gets results, but we are a country based on civility and righteousness and liberalism (as in the sense of Neoliberalism, not the liberal party)...
When I think of these types of people, I think of the clip of the libertarian talking about how the government wants to make a license to put toast in your own damn toaster

Even in a civil society there needs to be red lines drawn somewhere, it is very important there is. You want to know how that civil society came to exist? It was through a few civil wars to curtail the powers of the king and enforce the rights of the citizenry.

They don’t like reminding the public of that last part though.

Stop. You're going to fracture his fragile world view.

The reason people fought in those wars is because they were legitimate. Not because they were powerful, but because they were legitimate. Paine writes about this in Common Sense.
Nobody would want to support people who act like "don't tread on me." There was a moral high ground that is usually had when a civil war happens, case in point, the American Revolution. They were increadibly charismatic gentleman, not people who piss on pieces of paper.
