Thoughts on the Concealed Weapons law that was defeated today?

I already have that right with Full Faith and Credit, and the second amendment, I didn't need it handed to me from Congress. What I need is a judge to tell everyone what the Second Amendment actually means, and how all gun laws are unconstitutional as it is.

it's not local cops' job or authority to tell every American whether they can or can't own a gun and carry a gun. Any law that gives local jurisdictions the power to tell all Americans what to do, is an abuse of power.

Therefore, no New Yorker or New Jersyan or Massachussetteian or other gun-hating state has the right to tell me what i can or can't do, when it's explicitly stated in the U.S. constitution that I have the right.

There should never be state or city laws that trump the Constitution. Always err on the side of freedom, not tyranny.

Finally, you said it yourself, that people still get shot. No law could EVER stop a criminal from bringing a gun into New York, or even owning a whole arsenal of them inside their Manhattan apartment.

Criminals will get guns, no matter what the f-ing law says.

You want to turn law-abiding gun owners into instant criminals, even though they're the ones who might save your *** if a crazy muslim terrorist goes berzerk again, in your city.

The very fact that New Yorkers are pussified and cowards of guns is why muslims like to attack you. You are weak, and scared and unarmed . You are the perfect victim.

You will never see large terrorist attacks in Texas or Oklahoma or Arizona.

Criminals don't drive down to Alabama to buy guns and then drive them up to New York. A criminal gets his guns on the streets, literally a few feet or few yards from where he lives. He just tells his HomeBoys he needs a Glok or a AK, and later that day, there is his Glok and AK47.

If every state had the exact same gun laws as New York, the guns would come from Latin America or even Russia or Czech Republic. Do you think that since cocaine plants don't grow in Manhattan, there must not be any drugs in New York?? You are a fcking moron.

And the attack in OK City was revenge for Clinton's unconstitutional actions. It had nothing to do with muslims trying to attack an American landmark. The pussified cowards on the planes that were highjacked could have stopped the scrawny muslims from even taking over the planes. The sissies on the plane were terrified of box cutters - weapons with a 1/2-inch blade. LMFAO

I live in a state where concealed weapons are permitted, and have yet to see any news item where someone just up and got nervous or over reacted and shot someone. Yes, people travel with their guns, especially those in law enforcement. Because, yes, they are that "scared." They seem to have this little thing about running into criminals with a chip on their shoulder who have been released playing at getting even. Something most other people don't have to be "scared" of.

For me it's not a big deal to not carry a weapon across the country, I don't usually carry a weapon. I, however, found my hubby's 38 to be very handy right after Katrina when looters entered my house while I was in it.

I agree in rejection of the bill.

First if NY citizens have a hard time to get a gun permit then, why a non-resident tourist should be given special treatment?

Second, the bill would take away regulatory power from the states, since would be very hard to verify if each out-of-state visitor meet state regulations.

I'm sure the proponent of the bill was only thinking about his personal benefit and just wanted to use his seat to pass a bill so he could carry his own gun wherever he wants.

I'm conflicted over it. On one hand, I think that any reasonable person should be allowed to carry a weapon in self defense anywhere. Situations of over-reaction as you describe are definitely more rare than situations where armed self-defense would prevent a violent crime. Besides, if someone is going to kill another man, would he do the paperwork with the state first? That just seems kinda silly.

On the other hand, I believe that a state should have a right to pass laws it feels are best for its situation. I think of America more as 50 countries than one.

Shame on the idiots who voted no. I travel with a firearm, never seem to have a problem. Been as far north as Alaska and as far East as New Mexico, never over reacted, never had a problem with the police etc.. Why should some idiot in New York get to decide if I'm worthy of protecting myself when traveling to their city?

The key word here is "rural village". Not much to do in small villages but to go to church and hunt for dinner. Yes, guns and bibles are the main focal points in many "rural villages" in America... That and Billy Bob's hemi Dodge Charger. I mean to tell ya, slicker 'n deer guts on a door knob there, Jim Bob...Can I get an "AMEN"?!!!

While I understand the individual States view that testing and qualification are not consistent nationwide, it would be nice to be able to protect yourself in all states. I could see it working if there was a national test that all states agreed upon for qualification.

It still plays into the right and wrong of a day(in the life)..

I personally look at my fellow man..and really chuckle---

That this FAT---head could possibly weild a GUN..

..or that some militia of over weight--fat weilding sexually--not satified..could get past first base..

===

Most American men can't get outta' their own way.,.!!!

Have you've checked the latest in FAT-Harley Rider's..

The freakin' fat head would need a GUN--since his manhood is flyin' out his backside--so reguarily..

Fat American Men..and a GUN...what a JOKE.

the Constitution,state given rights Shall Not be infringed........... Does that sound familiar. Most states do have agreements with other states with same qualifications.
