Open Carry Tarrant County Kills Two.

2. I'm opposed

to the emotional sniping at "extreme gun-enthusiasts" referring to small penises or, in this case, "penis-envy".

By using this type of taunt, "extreme gun-enthusiasts" can deflect criticism as coming from "gun-grabbers" talking-points.

Much as I understand the desire to wound these annoying and irresponsible people, this type of personal attack isn't productive.

I own guns. I sometimes carry a gun, usually in wild-areas where there is a threat of animal attack or attack by human predators.

I object strongly to the proliferation of guns by mentally/emotionally unstable "extreme gun-enthusiast" especially those who are living a "wild-west" fantasy or wish to intimate the community, and most certainly by arrogant types like Zimmerman who crave notoriety and mistake reasonable fear of the insane as "respect".

I feel that law violations involving guns should be harshly punished, including reckless endangerment and negligence. I think that carry-permits should be limited to a proven need, not handed out to anyone that wants to convince him/herself and the world that they're bad-asses.

I think firearms are useful tools for limited applications, not a multi-tool to be hung openly on the belt to be used for any and all situations.


We will never achieve realistic gun-control as long as we can be portrayed by "extreme gun-enthusiasts" as hysterical, overly emotional people who want to compare or discuss sexual organs all the time.

Just my opinion, and certainly not meant as criticism. I'm pretty sure we share the same goal, eliminating guns in the hands of the mentally/emotionally unstable, the self-styled vigilantes, and the so-called "good guy w/ a gun".
