Here is the next idiot on the
Guns R Us conveyor belt:
Rep. Ralph Norman pulls out own gun to make a point about violence

Republican Rep. Ralph Norman pulled out his loaded, personal .38-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun Friday and laid it on the table at a diner where he was meeting with his constituents in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
Norman told CNN he wanted to make a point in the debate over gun violence.
"I merely proved a point that guns themselves are not the issue," he said.
Norman said that having a loaded gun in the room should, if anything, have made people feel more safe.
"Given the scenario that if someone had walked into that diner and began to fire a weapon, I told them I would be able to defend myself and them as well," he explained.

Idiot. It's bad enough when people put their cell phones on the table in a restaurant. And now their guns?
This clown made a point alright, just not the one he apparently intended. I wonder what this says about his mentality and suitability for gun ownership?
I have met some people who were emotionally “challenged” and should not be allowed to carry a firearm. One guy was a chess player. We went to his apartment to play a game of chess and out of the blue he pulls out a handgun and yells “Nobody is going to f**k with me anymore!”. I did not feel it was directed at me, so it was easier for me to remain calm. He then put the gun away, we played chess, and I left without further incident. I told another friend about this and we nicknamed the guy “The Fiend”.
I already mentioned in an earlier post about the security guard who felt a sense of loss for missing his opportunity to kill an unarmed trespasser.
I also met a former Louisanna cop who gave me a gun to temporarily store in the trunk of my car. He was at least a little weird and sincerely felt the public considered law enforcement as “public enemy number one”. He said don’t pull out your weapon unless you are willing to fire. If you fire, aim for the center of body mass as you are trying to end the fight as soon as possible.
There are certain actions and mindsets that can reveal the suitability of granting a gun license to someone. Part of the gun licensing process should include several people to vouch for the applicant and a neutral and professional panel that includes law enforcement, a physcologist, and a prominent member of the gun industry to ask the prospective gun owner physcological questions and the like. Each member of this panel approval statistics should be monitored. If a members approval statistics fall below, say 95%, their impartially can be questioned. if an applicant’s gun license is declined, they should have the right to appeal to another panel. However, this new panel should have any notes created by original panel available to them.
I am uncomfortable about creating additional restrictions and a bureaucracy involving gun ownership because although the rules may start out fair, they are likely to be changed such that the rights of gun ownership are effectively repealed. I wonder if domestic terror watch lists where there is little oversight on who or why someone gets put on it might some day be used for this purpose.
It is reasonable for society to want to atempt to restrict gun ownership by nutjobs. If an unlicensed nutjob is found having an gun, that can be considered a serious crime and that person can be taken off the streets before potentially more serious crimes are commited.
It is also reasonable for responsible citizens to not have their gun rights infringed, especially in such a toxic media and political climate.
Is it possible to create a unfied and unalterable thereafter gun regulations that all the parties can agree to that addresses some of the issues mentioned earlier? A possible benefit for pro second amendment citizens is locking down their remaining gun rights. Cities and states have been imposing their own laws restricting gun ownership rights. Part of a possible negotiated settlement on gun ownership laws should be the loosening of overly restrictive local laws.
Gun ownership regulation may best be regulated by a single governmental entity, such as the Federal Government.
Here she is, now she is blind and two dimensional but if you came to Colombia for that MRI study we could get you in a room with her. Notary would let me borrow her I'm sure.
This you won't like because of the dried crunchy pork. Break a tooth on the stuff but it is moreish.
