"Hey yutz, guns aren't toys. They're for family protection, hunting dangerous and delicious animals and keeping the king of England out your face"(nm) - Brian Sep 17, 08:19
2/2! Woo hoo! Where's my gun? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 17, 08:11 2
- Question 1: What's your name? Question 2: Are you planning on shooting anybody/ (No lying) -- nm - znufrii Sep 17, 08:24 1
  - Are you nuts? no really? well ok then -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 17, 12:41
I am sure there is more involved in the class than that sample test. - groiny Sep 17, 08:11 41
- I don't know why you would think that. We live in a state with relatively (relative to many other states) restrictive gun laws where they're at least - pmb Sep 17, 08:21 35
  - I really do not understand why this is a state by state issue. - groiny Sep 17, 08:23 34
    - NRA would never allow that -- nm - amoxy Sep 17, 08:27 10
      - hey, guess what, the NRA isn't an elected body and they don't actually get to decide things. - Andie Sep 17, 08:28 9
        
        The NRA have a knack for getting gun rights supporters to call/write/contact members of Congress like few organizations do -- nm - con_carne Sep 17, 08:42 2
        
        then counter that. get the other side to write. -- nm - Andie Sep 17, 08:44 1
        
        Bloomberg is trying. But the NRA successfully got a Colorado pol recalled and replaced with a GOP shill for guns rights. -- (link) - TWuG Sep 17, 08:51
        
        Their power, plus outraged people has meant that Congress has voted down almost any kind of gun control. -- nm - Inigo Sep 17, 08:30 3
        
        Plus, if you're a politician, at the end of the day, who are you going to piss off: the people with signs or the people with a cache of guns? -- nm - JaxSean Sep 17, 08:45
        
        yup -- nm - Epiphany Sep 17, 08:41
        
        I read that since Newtown, gun laws have overall become LOOSER. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:31
        
        You are right it is not, but they have bought many powerful Politicians in Washington -- nm - amoxy Sep 17, 08:29 1
        
        Not just bought. The politicians' constituents like things the way they are. -- nm - Roger More Sep 17, 08:33
    - because the states fought a war to retain their right for that kind of thing. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:27
    - because the feds are only going to come and take away your guns! states rights! 'merica! - znufrii Sep 17, 08:26 20
      - can you imagine the response if the feds imposed gun laws? -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:28 19
        
        I do not think a standardized testing process to get a conceal carry permit would - groiny Sep 17, 08:29 16
        
        You would think a standard system for background checks would be something everyone could agree on, and yet.. -- nm - Inigo Sep 17, 08:31
        
        *snort* - znufrii Sep 17, 08:31
        
        THE GUBMINT wants to take away our guns!!!!! - loosilu Sep 17, 08:31 4
        
        no one is taking away anything. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 17, 08:33 3
        
        but they THINK so, and that's what matters. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:34 1
        
        FOX News will make sure of that -- nm - Beaker Sep 17, 08:35
        
        tell that to the NRA and Tea Party. -- nm - znufrii Sep 17, 08:33
        
        are the streets paved with chocolate where you live? Cause people would go fvcking bonkers if Obama tried that - Beaker Sep 17, 08:30 8
        
        but why? - groiny Sep 17, 08:31 7
        
        vocal minority of crazies has always trumped the silent majority. -- nm - Beaker Sep 17, 08:35 4
        
        this is why I could never be in politics. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 17, 08:36 3
        
        word. and every issue has there crazies on each side who would come after you no matter what you did/do -- nm - Beaker Sep 17, 08:38
        
        I think it might go all the way back to the civil war, honestly. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:37 1
        
        things change, you have to adjust. - groiny Sep 17, 08:39
        
        there's a whole culture of people who go apeshit if the federal government touches guns. - loosilu Sep 17, 08:33 1
        
        Yeah, the responsible citizenry. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 17, 09:05
        
        less dead people. -- nm - Andie Sep 17, 08:28 1
        
        if only it were that easy. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:29
    - The why is because of the NRA, imo. - Inigo Sep 17, 08:26
- it's a $20 online class, there probably isn't. -- nm - mafic Sep 17, 08:14 3
  - well, I have a major issue with Virginia law then. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 17, 08:16 2
    - it's not unusual, as state laws go. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:17 1
      - I am unaware of Illinois having online courses for this. - groiny Sep 17, 08:18
- read their material and the state law. Gun safety test, that's it. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:12
Texas just recently changed from a 10 hour class to a 4 hour class. - Epiphany Sep 17, 08:10 5
- I would hate to inconvenience potential future killers for six more hours. -- nm - David Sep 17, 08:14 4
  - I am fine with 10 hours, plus yearly evaluations of mental state and gun safety re-tests. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 17, 08:15 3
    - I am sure that the good people of Texas are exceptional with their evaluations of mental state. - David Sep 17, 08:17 2
      - *snort* -- nm - Epiphany Sep 17, 08:24
      - just saying, I am cool with making it harder to get one, instead of easier. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 17, 08:20
If "armed loosi" doesn't get groiny quaking in his boots ........ ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:09 3
- that should scare everyone. especially if she shoots like she posts. - Dr.Vermin Sep 17, 08:13
- I can't hit a golf ball on a tee with a club. I literally can't. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:10 1
  - *quaking.* -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:10
