This is why we can't have nice things

That's neat but all of you would call 911 and arm yourselves if your kid came running into the house and said "daddy daddy there's a stranger walking around outside with a gun". lol

If it's the same guy every day, over and over, who isn't doing anything. Then I think you need to have a chat with your kids for flipping out over nothing. If you have kids who believe the only people who are supposed to be carrying firearms are the cops, you're part of the problem.

A guy who needs to carry a gun to pick up trash is mental.

I guess my neighbor should be mental because he was shot taking out the trash.

Because there's no requirement to have served in the military to exercise your 2nd amendment rights.

As far as taking a rifle to go pick up trash, so what? Methinks you've got a bit of an anti personality. It's not like it was the kid contacting the media to go parade around the starbucks open carrying.

BTW, it's also a

what I'm saying is that if he feels the need to make a difference and he likes carrying guns, why doesn't he go to the next level in the proper way and join the armed forces? I'm glad we have the 2nd Amendment, but I bet each and every person on this site knows at least some people who they would not feel comfortable with walking down the street with a rifle, plenty of loaded mags, and a big knife.

You are totally right. I feel like such an ***, we should take guns from everyone because I know someone.

Again, you go back to this idea that someone needs to joined the armed forces to be able to exercise their 2nd amendment rights. That's not how the US works. I'd like to see you try explaining that same misguided logic to the population in a constitutional carry state(without getting run out of town being chased by everyone with torches and pitchforks for sounding like a stereotypical anti 2a liberal from CA that can't understand "shall not be infringed").

no we should just take them away from you lol

So should I never pick up trash? I mean I have a gun on my hip and I drop my napkin am I released of the duty to retrieve it when I am armed? So that I may remain non-mental in your views?

Im punching out...5 too many pepsi maxs today.

Dupe!

yes that's exactly what Im saying. Please do not pick up any napkins. It makes people nervous.

Do we really need tacticool geeks like this pressing the 2nd amendment? I think he's a neighborhood nuisance that makes gun owners look bad.

He gets big respect from me; he's doing something I'm too chicken-crap to do unless it was actually SHTF or I really had a threat outside my door (which I suspect others are as well). I've got too much to lose over "principle" by demostration only, but should that day come, hopefully I haven't failed to respond on principle enough times that I (or we) won't have our guns by the time SHTF happens for when needed. We NEED guys like this. Just is.

NoSpam - several of your posts in this thread are so akin to an Anti-2nd Amendment activist mantra, you are making me sad and doubtful of your motives, ESPECIALLY when you quip like Charles Schumer, Al Gore, John Kerry, Michael Bloomberg, or Joe Biden and say a favorite Anti-2nd Amendment cheer like:

....what I'm saying is that if he feels the need to make a difference and he likes carrying guns, why doesn't he go to the next level in the proper way and join the armed forces?

That is not a lick of what the 2nd Amendment is about - actually, quite the opposite.

Just my opinion of course, but the kid is just playing soldier in the street with live ammo. Again, I'm not saying that he has to join the armed forces. I'm asking why he doesn't join the arm forces if he likes to play soldier so much. Seems like he likes the power trip of being armed to the teeth. I draw the line at the 2nd Amendment when a citizen causes more terror in his community than a terrorist.

Seems to me he's just keeping the trash off the streets...

He reminds me of spiderman

I come from a family of doctors (ok I actually don't), but have no training myself. Would you like me to volunteer at your hospital? I can perform whatever operation you would like.

So carrying a firearm is equivelant to operating?

Wouldn't you say it's more equivelant to wearing scrubs, a facemask, and maybe jumping in and using first aid if there's an emergency?

Why does having live ammo matter? He doesn't appear to be doing anything irresponsible with it. Let me guess, you want ammo restrictions too? Stop hanging out with Feinstein.
