The comment section is already a gold mine of angst!
To the two forum members who have used lines from my posts as their signatures, can't you quote Jesse Ventura or some other great Minnesotan instead of stealing mine? - LePetomane

I see mod buttons for Like and Reply, but there are no "You're a frakking moron" buttons on the board to mod down some of those comments.

My favorites were "...recipe for a mass shooting" And "retarted"[sic].

If we were as anti-anti-gunner as the anti-gunners are anti-gun; there wouldn't be any anti-gunners left because, well, we're armed and their not. Given the chance, I think the hypocrites would shoot us. It's a good thing we're in better control of ourselves now, isn't it?

Denny who?

EDIT: ok, searched Google on the chance this was some well-known person and not your average Joe... football coach...which explains why I've never heard of him. I don't follow sports at all. I still don't get the humor in the comment, but that's ok. Just like sports, it doesn't matter to me.

Did Fox News buy the Strib or something? Huge bias spin on it. I'm all for OC, and yes, there does need to be more public awareness, but I think this is really the wrong way to go about it. I see it as being akin to someone thumping their bible vs. just going out and doing the work. In other words, don't have an Open Carry Event or attach such a thing to another event; just go on about your daily lives and OC. Take the kids to the park, buy milk, get gas, live your life and carry your gun because it's normal.

This may work against the OC and gun ownership cause(s) really. What I see actually working for gun owners in general is when people get fed up of everything being blamed on guns, when pop tarts with a bite out of them and the thumb and fore finger "guns" are dealt with nazi-like "justice" due to zero-(in)tolerance policies. EVERYONE shot the thumb and fore finger "guns" as a kid. Everyone.

This idea is bad. Just as bad as when AVTM was going to do his gun march on Washington.

However, this is just my opinion.

I won't be OCing there, but I will be in my every day life....and that's where it really matters.

If you want to talk about him being Denny Green, then you and I can talk about it, which we're not going to do - then you can do that.
