Why are most liberals afraid of guns?

[shibumiseeker]

Yabut, liberal politicians are the ones who have open plans for confiscation, and they get elected. So no matter how "pro gun" your Democrat friends claim to be, if they vote Democrat then they don't really give a damn about the 2A. There are always exceptions to every rule, but big city liberals in particular are always attacking the 2A.

My general question could also certainly apply to conservatives. However, conservatives by definition don't vote for liberals, and therefore they are not my enemy. I want to understand my enemy so I can expose and destroy them. That is the point of this thread.

Since no conservative politician has ever voted to restrict the RKBA.

And they all lived happily ever after.

Glad to know that people out here actually understand what I understand. This is why I have guns, and why they don't...

It's another form of convienience. Why make food on your own when you have someone else that you can buy it from? Why own a gun when you can call someone that has one?

It all boils down to Self Respect, and Self Preservation. They trust that they'll always have this convienience. That's why I love power outages, because they can snap people out of the Convienince Trap!

Here's another way to see this. Because I don't have to spend my day growing my own food, going off to war, policing the neighborhood, and generating my own power and maintaining power equip't, i got to go to school, learrn chemistry and contribute to the gen'l welfare withI the discovery of a drug to treat pancreatic cancer.I give up a certain amt of independence in this specialization. I also have more time to play with my kids and wifey.
p.s. were you disappointed when the sun rose on 12/22/2012?

You can also do these things and still accept personal responsibility for your personal safety and that of your wife and kids, which I assume you do, I mean, you're freakin Popeye.

Or you can CHOOSE not to accept this responsibility and depend on the State to take care of it. It really doesn't matter to me until you demand that your choice be forced on me.

Me takes care of me own (when I'm not fighting that big fat guy wit da whiskers).
As much as I want to be Jeremiah Johnson ( can you be a mtn man in Indiana?) Btw, I tried walking barefoot in the snow, and gave up after 5 minutes. I made the compact to be part of a society (seems more efficient, ask evolution*) where if I learn to do A,B,C really well, I can leave it to you to do the same for D,E, & F. Then we can trade.Then I have time to watch 'Justified' and search for internet porn. Personal safety is another matter. I do the best I can considering the threat, but I won't spend all my days training to hit the guy (whose holding my wife) in the eye with my 9mm, but I will badmouth his mother and do the best I can to resolve the situation. I don't have the time or desire to prepare for that Hollywood moment no matter how well Bruce Willis can do it. YEMV

* evolution seems to go from organisms that do it all (one celled animals) to specialized tissues (kidney, heart, liver) that have given up that one-celled independence) and depend on other tissues (lungs, stomach pooper) for supply of other life functions. That's my book in one paragraph. So what would you rather be, an amoeba or a man.....
Now can anyone tell me how to replace those windshield wipers in less than 2 hrs?

God made man. Colt made them equal. We've heard this all our lives, at least I have, and the far left liberials (socialist nazis) want you to not be equal to them.

When Free America is no longer alive and the country belongs to the left, the anti-gunners want a piece of the action by being a good Nazi. These people will let themselve be chipped so they can earn money, shop in elite shops and have things we remaining freedom fighters will not have access.

Nature vs. nurture surely plays some part. Their brains are probably wired in a way that makes them very untrusting of others. But let's focus on the nurturing aspect of what upbringing results in a lifelong fear of guns?

The tradition of safe and responsible gun ownership is usually passed down from father to son, and in cultures where the father is not around, or may be a felon, this is clearly not possible. While not being taught gun safety at an early age is a detriment, I do not believe it necessarily promotes an outright fear of guns. In fact, fatherless inner city youths seem more likely to lack a healthy respect for guns (not enough fear).

So what promotes an unhealthy fear of guns? Can anyone help explain the mentality of people like Cuomo and Bloomberg? Do you have friends or relatives like them? What makes them tick? Are they emotionally retarded, overly effeminate, or is there some other reason they do not respect the right to self defense? Did they get bullied on the playground, or were they the bully?

Does it all boil down to the liberal hippy ideology of a utopian society? Did these people simply take too much LSD in the 70's? Or is it something more sinister, like a desire to dominate or fear of true equality? I really would like to see some scientific studies on the common backgrounds and characteristics of those who fear guns.

I was born and raised in a very liberal part of America. There's no fear of guns. Gun ownership is alive, well and thriving in liberal America.

There is however an abundance of weariness when it comes to innocent people getting killed by people with guns.

I think everyone is weary of the killing of innocent. Some just choose to protect themselves rather than depend on local law enforcement making it on time. Maybe you live in a urban environment where there is a policeman on every corner or maybe you don't? Some of us live in a rural environment where if your really lucky when the unthinkable goes down the nearest deputy is 20 minutes away and perhaps the nearest state policeman is 30 or more minutes away. I choose not to have my options for self defense limited. Maybe your ok with having yours limited and that's fine by me, that's your business. Please allow me to mind my business. Let me decide what's best for me and my situation. I have a wife and 3 year old daughter and I can't take a chance or hope for the best. The consequences are to great and it's not a price I will pay by taking a chance or hoping for the best.

So true. My sister was out of power for a week. She called me asking how to grill hamburgers. Ummm. Light fire. Put on meat. Meat not pink, eat meat.

Fire, meat, good! Burger no pink, steak go moo!!

 

[KellyinAvon]

Sorry about the threadjack. The libs who are huge anti-gun types with money hire their own private armies to protect them and their families. It's ok for the "employees", not for the peons.
