I thought this was a joke thread... then I read a bit...
Marshall is an anti?
Ok... like I thought... joke thread.

No, you didn't call me anti. I've no issue with your posts.
And the bolded part was a good point, which I accepted (I dropped that line of thought as invalid and focused on social pressure). Discussion is great, and what is discussion without disagreement?
Its one thing to tell someone his an idiot and should stop his actions (long arm carry style).
It's altogether another thing to vocally support the application of the states coercive power.
...nobody agrees with me, and the ratio of folks calling me an anti is 100%...
I've always thought of myself as very "pro", as there isn't a single gun law I can think of which I support.
However, apparently, because I choose to voice displeasure over guys who can't be bothered to ensure that their slung rifles are pointing in a safe direction (i.e. not sideways at passersby), I'm an anti who "spouts the same rhetoric as the Brady Bunch".

Ordinarily I'd take this with a grain of salt, but by the sampling so far, nobody agrees with me, and the ratio of folks calling me an anti is 100%.
I sincerely don't mean to whine over a disagreement, but... Clearly, if I'm an anti I don't belong on this site, now or at any point in the future. If the community considers me an anti, then it must be so.
So, unless anybody can be bothered to convince me otherwise, I'm going to take another hiatus from this site, one likely to be permanent this time, given the circumstances.
Sorry for being such a little girl, but I have invested quite a lot of my time and energy into this movement (and this forum), and if I don't belong then I really need to place my energies elsewhere.
I didnt read the OPs first response but to me its that he was complaining about OCing a long gun and the muzzle was not pointed in a very safe direction? If this is true, I would have to agree. The first and very most important thing to "gun safety" is muzzle control is it not? Why all the negative responses to common sense?
Because starting a new thread about an existing thread is drama queen behavior -- and border line troll behavior.
And the OP endorsed a criminal solution to a 2A issue -- where the actions had no true injured party.

Starting a new thread about a topic divergent from the original thread is proper respect of the original thread. Change the topic, change the thread... more of us should be so disciplined.

Social pressure leads to legal pressure, who does not understand this fact. Either a person supports all rights or they don't, not only those that favor their own bias or fears.
Both the Brady Bunch and MOMS exert social pressure, go figure...
As does VCDL, GRNC and OCDO and these are most effective too.

Is OCDO anti for only advocating the carry of a properly holstered handgun? I should be able to tie a shoestring around the trigger guard and skip down the street bouncing the handgun like a yo-yo, right? If OCDO doesn't condone and encourage this behavior, they must be anti. I mean, it has a firing pin block, what could possibly go wrong?
You're twisting promotion of safety into interference with rights. Still stretching the truth.
