Quote of the Day: It’s All Relative Edition

July 7, 2012

“I’m not saying that we should sit back and rest on our laurels or anything, because we need to keep fighting for the 2nd Amendment. But when you look at where we are now in terms of where we were in the late 90s, it’s no wonder we have all this free time to get riled up (about) open carry or Kel-Tecs.”- Caleb Giddings

The morons that own firearms, really need to stop showing how stupid they are to the world. Who(?) in their right mind, is going to carry a lever action in such a fashion, as the numb nut in the picture? If these guys were truly as tough, or as bright that they believe themselves to be, they would be in the Rangers, Marine Recon, or one of the other elite units that proudly serve this nation.

Instead we are subjected to idiotic pictures, with idiots carrying a firearm that has neither the tenacity, nor the temerity to use it should the need arise!

  I believe Caleb has pulled a gun on someone. I think it was in response to a hostile demand for money.

  The morons that dont understand visual humor, really need to stop showing how stupid they are to the world. Who(?) in their right mind, is going to miss obvious jokes and get bent over it, as this numb nut in the comments? If these guys were truly as tough, or as bright that they believe themselves to be, they would be in stand up comedy, bloggers, or one of the other elite units that proudly serve this nation.Instead we are subjected to idiotic comments, with idiots who cant understand humor that has neither the tenacity, nor the temerity to use humor should the need arise!

    Agreed.
    
    It’s better to remain silent and be thought of a fool….. then to speak, and remove all doubt.

WTF sling is that? There is really a single point shoulder holster style sling out there?

But when you look at where we are now in terms of where we were in the ~~late 90s~~ early 60s or 30s or the 1800s, it’s no wonder we ~~have all this free time to~~ get riled up (about) open carry or Kel-Tecs.

Fixed it for you.

  And who is riled up about Kel-Tecs, other than their inability to find a RFB/KSG on a store shelf?

    Haha I’m assuming that’s what people are riled up about, but don’t quote me on it. They make excellent products at an excellent price, but they do not keep up with demand lol.

It looks like a gun bra that lifts and separates.

Guy has the right idea, and the immediate internet trolling response of “omg he has a gun slung stupid why isn’t he in the arglebarglemmmasdagfjdgfljwbeb” just kind of proves his point. I’ve said similar things, we need to be vigilant, the fight ain’t over, but we are winning, and I do wonder how some people maintain the insipid paranoia. It must be exhausting.

Over on his own website, Caleb has made a few posts lately in which he has tried to promote a happier, less stressed, less contentious environment. I agree with him, although it is hard to tell whether he is having any effect.

How many times have we seen a virtual shouting match over some inconsequential detail? Lighten up a bit, folks.

Everything isn’t great in my state, but things certainly look good overall. I wish we had an NRA for our other Constitutional freedoms. It’s impossible to imagine, for example, Congress passing something equivalent to the NDAA affecting gun rights.
