It is *lighting up* my social media, and I want to tell them to "Stick it". Aren't they comparing apples to oranges?
Hold your nose, if you dare, I am only linking to prove I ain't making this up: http://constitutionalrightspac.com/articles/scotus-ruling-on-same-sex-marriage-mandates-nationwide-concealed-carry-reciprocity

(81,901 posts)Some lawyers may see it differently. They quote this: certain personal choices central to individual dignity and autonomy. The question to me is whether gun concealed gun possession is "central to individual dignity." I don't see why it would be.

The penis-gun analogies are true in their twisted reality???

You've never seen my big guns GGJohn, and you never will.
I was born into a family of strong wild west women, and married into a family of strong women, all who know how to handle guns. Quite a few of the men too...
I understand hunting, putting meat on the table. I'm mostly vegetarian because that's easier on this earth, but I have no great fondness for wild pigs or overpopulations of deer. If a relative makes sausages and shares... oh my, sausages...
I inherited my great aunt's sausage making tools. She did a lot of sausages.
Yum, sausages...
Aside from all that hot sausage imagery, I've been in many rough situations, a few life-or-death situations, at least according to the idiots holding the gun. Not once would these situations have been improved if I'd been another idiot holding a gun.
Your mileage may vary. My mom's family were pacifists. Yeah, I know, that takes a bit of religious insanity. My mom's family, and my mom, have plenty of that. They are pacifists because otherwise they are berserkers. My dad's dad, much to his dismay and love of loud things like guns, bombs, and airplanes, was deemed too valuable by the Army Air Force to risk in that sort of World War II adventure.
Myself, my parents are artists, and I'm like Doctor Who, a very dangerous fellow when I don't know what I'm doing.
It's the times I have known what I'm doing that revisit me most often as nightmares.

Of course, since they equate marriage with gun ownership, it makes the term "ammosexual" even more appropriate

(39,171 posts)The 2A allows strict regulation of guns, including concealed carry.
I am not trying to be a smartass, I promise.

(39,171 posts)Scalia explicitly says that. According to Heller, the only explicit right the 2A protects is the right to own a gun in your home.

(4,612 posts)as compared between states in the decision. The equal protection argument was same-sex marriage seekers vs. hetero marriage seekers, with the SC finding a fundamental liberty interest to get married and same-sex couples being afforded the same right as hetero.
It wasn't that a whole bunch of states already recognize gay marriage, therefore the rest have to as well, what this guy seems to think.
It's just typical right wing ignorance. They don't know how to think.
