Citing shootings, NY sheriff urges citizens to carry guns
Despite all the rhetoric on here about seizing guns, and all the juvenile name-calling by those who would confiscate guns, confiscation is a decidedly minority position that will never happen. In any event, the sheriff in Ulster County, NY, an elected Democrat, "is urging residents of his county who are licensed gun owners to arm themselves when they leave home, citing recent mass shootings in the United States and Paris." In other words, that sheriff thinks it is a good idea for citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights. From the article:

Quote
"I urge you to responsibly take advantage of your legal right to carry a firearm," Ulster County Sheriff Paul Van Blarcum, a Democrat, wrote on the department's Facebook page less than 24 hours after 14 people were shot dead in San Bernardino, California.

The post quickly drew hundreds of comments, for and against it.

"I'm not trying to drum up a militia of any sort," Van Blarcum told The Associated Press on Thursday. "It's just a reminder that if you want to, you have a right to carry it. It might come in handy. It's better to have it than not have it. We're partners with the public in crime prevention."

The largely rural county in the Catskill Mountains about two hours north of New York City has 10,000 licensed handgun owners, Van Blarcum said.

1. I've been told that once you get out of the NYC area,

the rest of NY is pretty pro 2A and getting a firearm license is relatively simple and pain free, unlike NYC.

2. Speaking of NY

Those who think gun owners would hand over weapons like sheep if banned should tell me how the SAFE act is working out.

6. Yes. Let's all be armed to the teeth.


I know I'll feel safer if the person behind me at Starbucks has a TEC-9.

If one did and was intending to rob the place unless you are Hoyt at the DUmp,how would you know?

Come and get em DUmpmonkeys,I dare you.

I'm beginning to wonder if I'll be able to purchase any kind of firearms by the time I get back to Texas this summer?

The way these DUmmies are salivating about repealing the 2nd Amendment and the things the POTUS keeps saying and hinting that he's going to do...I'm afraid that even in Texas it will be illegal.

I am really hoping that this last detour by the left off the rails will hurt the lib agenda permanently.
I heard yesterday that 57% of Americans support concealed carry, and that number has grown over recent months.
With any luck that number will continue to grow.
Also they are being led so far afield by owebuma on terrorism, refugees, and the accompanying rhetoric, that den approval numbers are plunging...as they should be.

I think about 65% is the ceiling.  There is at least a permanently insane 35% in this country.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

O'dumbass isn't going to do shit.  He's blustered and bullshitted about guns for 7 years and hasn't been able to get a damn thing done.  I personally hope he and every other howler democrat tries, though...

Come on now TX, you know getting the second amendment repealed would involve work, something that is an anathema to both our current pResident and the DUches. You should be fine.

You have no clue, none whatsoever, how badly I want Hitlary to win the nomination and run on a gun control platform.

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

Then you will get another ideal opportunity to have liberals disgust you even more.
She is tacking left to get the nomination.
Once she has the nomination, she will no longer talk about what she believes.
She will talk about conservative values then.
It will be hard to distinguish her from a conservative at that point.
It's what libs always do to get elected.
once they get elected, they go right back to being disgusting libs.
Guess what my reaction to that is.

I know she'll tack right to get the middle. It's why I really hope she runs on gun control. She can't tack away from that.

True enough, Carl. I can see your  point,  I was trying to make a joke about the situation.  However,  the one thing I won't do is underestimate the enemies of  my country.  Sadly these are of the domestic variety.
