Reasonable Restrictions on Rights

[PegLeg45]

6’3” to 6’4” with me boots on and 270lbs with a 54” chest isn’t conducive to “blending in”!

Minimizing my online footprint...more better!  Worrying too much about what the gubmint is going to do next is a waste of energy!

As I said previously, f..k em!

I think in a way it's getting easier. 80% of the population is walking around glued to phone screens.
I'm in the same boat size-wise....6'2"....300 lb ...and look like Santy Clause...... but more often than not folks just don't pay attention. I pay attention overly so.....usually well enough that I easily notice the ones who are paying attention to me.
I've had many instances where I should stand out like a turd in a punch bowl and folks just didn't see me.

I think the most dangerous people to many of us are our neighbors. People can be unbelievably petty, jealous and vindictive. If a national red flag law is passed and publicized, I think a lot of false reports will be used to settle petty disagreements over what color you painted your fence or I don't like that you park your work truck in your driveway.

That's how the Stasi ran East Germany.
They didn't need thugs on every corner, they had snitches in every group.

You have to remember this whole, "reasonable restrictions" deal goes both ways. As Ronald Reagan once said, "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter". Pretty soon it will become, "reasonable" for these ass wipes to be found, shot full of holes by nobody knows.

shot full of holes by nobody knows.

Has a nice poetic ring to it.

Reasonable acceptance of homosexuals has lead to Gay marriage and wide spread pedophilia.
Roe v Wade "safe and rare" has lead to abortion on demand ,AND YOU PAY.
You keep being "reasonable".
You'll deserve it.

This reminds me of the line from Airforce One:  "If you give a mouse a cookie, he will ask for a glass of milk."  The context of this line was concerning negotiating non-negotiables.

This is why I refuse to give in to the "assault rifle/weapon" terminology.  They have redefined firearm vocabulary.  The mindset they are using for this redefinition leads directly to the argument that assault is an action word that is attached to the person, not the tool.

The debate angle that I use when talking to "gun" guys who buy into the "reasonable" pitch is to point out what they are really after.  I used to own a S&W AR-22.  I purchased it for practice and competition, and fun plinking, and I used it in many of my safety courses.  I would put that rifle on a peg board, and next to it I would put my Ruger 10/22 (wood and blue).  What is the difference between the two?  Unbelievable the anti-gun verbage that fly.  After listening a little I would reach up and change out the 10/22 standard 10 round magazine to a 20 round magazine, but the rants would continue.  Finally I would stop everyone and point out that the only difference between the two was the materials they are made of and their finish:  Black plastic vs. Beech wood; Black barrel finish vs. bluing.

Removable Magazines - Same on both
Pistol Grip - Ruger 10/22 stock has pistol grip, just not as pronounced
Heat Shield - The wood forestock is also a heat shield
Adjustable stock - Safety feature that allows the rifle to be safely shouldered by people of different sizes with easy adjustment
Action - Both semi-automatic - One trigger pull, one shot
Rate of fire - Same rate of fire

At another point I will put a third rifle on the board - AR-15, and I will add a target (Standard NRA AR 5/1) shot from each of the three showing the size of the hole left.

Put the false narrative in context!  These are nothing but basic semi-automatic firearms that they are after.  If you give up the "assault" you are giving up everything that goes with it!  Don't believe it?  Look at all of the legislation they pass or bring forward.  They are not satisfied with just features.  They will finish every list of items with an even longer list of specific firearms they are banning.

Assault RIFLE is a specific reference, like  "Support weapon".
Assault WEAPON is just BS.
When I meet some gutless Fudd, I just insult them
What are the pussies going to do ? Make me take their shot guns ?

Time to all get our youtube videos saved and articles saved of Biden's great firearm safety and self defense advice:  If you hear something, just stick the shotgun out the door and shoot.
