    Unfortunately, the only loony stance here is that legally carrying firearms is somehow a loony thing to do.

    It’s always weird seeing how incapable some people are of considering that a different point of view is every bit as valid as their own.

      Not all views are valid. That should be pretty obvious. I don’t consider carrying a firearm to be a valid view. It’s paranoia on the level of believing lizard people run government.

        It’s interesting that you seem incapable of considering yours may be the invalid view.

        It’s paranoia on the level of believing lizard people run government.

        I’d argue being so terrified of the possibility someone might be legally carrying a firearm to, itself, be the indicator of paranoia.

          You’re making a lot of assumptions. I have considered both views and formed an opinion. You also seem to be implying that I’m “terrified” that someone could be carrying a gun, but I’m not sure how your jumped into my brain to figure that out.

            I have considered both views and formed an opinion.

            And yet, it’s somehow unfathomable that a person might simply wish to exercise their rights in carrying a firearm - to you, the only possibility is such absurd hyperbole as paranoia on the level of believing lizard people run government. Truly, deep consideration.

            You’re making a lot of assumptions.

            You also seem to be implying that I’m “terrified” that someone could be carrying a gun, but I’m not sure how your jumped into my brain to figure that out.

            I find one’s absurd hyperbole to be an apt indicator. For example, seeking to portray those with a different view as unhinged and paranoid for - by all appearances - simply not agreeing with you.

            That aside, it’s simply the ironic mirror to your assumption of paranoia in others. Unless, of course you jumped into their brains.
