    Damn straight. Freedom is vastly more important than people’s efforts to obtain a pretense of security.

      That why you lot are so willing to sacrifice everyone else’s freedom to expect to not be blown away while grocery shopping all so you can have the false pretense of security menacing the public with a security blanket rifle gives you?

        I’m not doing any of that. You are choosing to be afraid, when you have the freedom to choose not to live in fear because it’s never going to happen to you or anybody you know, statistically.

        Enjoy your freedom instead of being afraid to live.

          You’re the one who can’t leave their house without a security blanket rifle to menace everyone else with scaredy.

            Nope, that’s something you made up in your head about me. Most of the time I go out with zero guns and 1 knife, and I go wherever I want without fear because America is generally very safe.

                What, you don’t have a knife? You go out without the most useful tool that can fit in your pockets that can do 1000 tasks? That’s just dumb.

                You fucking morons look at any kind of weapon or tool being carried as a personal threat apparently, but I’m the one you think is scared?

                  You can’t carry knives in Australia for protection. And I’m glad you can’t, imagine those nutters you see on the streets, but this time with a blade?

                  If it were legal I might carry one around, solely because other people could have one and I might need it. As it stands we’re all relatively knifeless, and it makes us a lot more relaxed and jovial. A late night argument is just that, shit talk. It doesn’t end in someone bleeding to death because we all carry weapons.

                I don’t “need” anything to feel safe, you dipshit. I carry a knife everywhere because it’s an extremely useful tool to have on a daily basis and I use it very frequently for numerous things.

                You sure are stuck in the fear-based mindset. Must be a sad way to live.

                    I’m just going to assume that you’re like the human equivalent of a toy poodle, in terms of adult life skills and general usefulness, if you can’t see the basic utility of having a pocketknife with you.
