well, I was not able to post my full comments because of this stupid moderation/filter system so you did not see what else I had to say. So everything I was able to post is lacking the necessary context to fully understand what I was saying. I don’t even know if this will post, it seems so far to mostly be affecting this one comment section although in another comment section I did have a ghost post and didn’t retry.

Because I can’t afford to keep my own personal cop in donuts.

Maybe because of all the places the city, state and federal governments tell them they can’t carry in? So either they just stay defenseless the whole day, or they have to leave them in their cars when they visit one of the myriads of “protected” places.

I wonder if anyone’s ever done an analysis of exactly where the cars are that are having guns stolen from them? Seems to me, were I a bad guy looking for guns to steal, I’d be hanging out in places where law abiding citizens are required to leave their guns in their cars.

.40cal,

Yes, in general, late teens (say 16 – 19) are less stable, and less mentally developed, than, say, a s5 year old. Contrariwise, I know PLENTY of 25 – 30 year olds that don’t have the brains God promised a doorknob, or the mental and emotional stability of your average pink-haired college undergrad, and plenty of 17 – 18 year olds who are dialed in. Now, if you want to have ‘qualification tests’ to test for mental ability to exercise the rights we are given, I’m not in favor of it, but I’d live with it if it extended to voting, alcohol, etc. Where is the Constitutional basis for treating the RKBA as a “second-class” right??

Welcome to the hell I had to go through, after ten years of no issues. Only way I could escape the mod goblins was to transition to a different form of my legacy username and a new email address. Oh, and I post comments sparingly nowadays, too.

Ahh the heck with the rest…this is getting very tiring so just gonna give up on this one and not post the rest – can’t even get to the point in the posts. It should have gone in one post but it didn’t and kept up with that stupid ‘ghost post’ thing. So I tried testing it by separating it into separate posts with heavy edits to add extra spaces and * in words to break them up, and a few parts posted but the rest would not, but anyway it rendered the thing basically unreadable and it still ghost posted for the rest – and there are exactly zero moderation-offensive words in the whole thing. So disregard what I have already posted above in trying to get the comments across because its useless without being able to post the rest or being able to post cleanly without the heavy edit adds of * and spaces.

FIX THIS MODERATION/FILTER SYSTEM – ITS BEYOND STUPID AND RIDICULOUS!!!!

Oh, and 17 is hardly a juve* nile in terms of crim* inality.

Now, we have something to work towards and define instead of using the non-functional ‘sh*otg* un sc*at* ter’ technique of imposing more bur* den and infrin* gem*ent on, and posing laws crimi* naliz* ing, law abi* ding gun owners who did nothing wrong.
