One Man's Common Sense...
...is another man's kiss my ass.
Meet Mike Hargreaves, a gun collector and firearms instructor from Toronto. He had some guns stolen out of his house while he was away on vacation, one of which ended up being used by some gangbanging scumbags in a triple-homicide.
Gee, he of all people should have known better than to leave them unsecured, right?
Yeah, um....never mind.
This is what we're up against in our struggle to preserve our rights. This is the result of what the gun control movement refers to as "compromise".
"We don't want to ban guns - oh, far from it. We just want to enact some common sense gun safety measures. It's for the children."
Fuck.
That.
Have you noticed that whenever these assholes, like Kennedy and Schumer, talk about "common-sense gun safety" and the need to reach some kind of "middle ground" with those of us on the good side of the fence, it's always the last compromised upon position that gets assigned our starting point, while theirs (the end to private possession of all firearms) remains unchanged.
I swear, sometimes it feels like we're taking snaps deep in our own endzone, and no one seems to notice, or worse, care.

Hargreaves admits to being "devastated by the news" that the gun had been involved in a homicide and almost as devastated by the fact there is now a warrant out for his arrest for unsafe storage of those weapons...
Gee, he of all people should have known better than to leave them unsecured, right?
...despite the fact they were stored in a 771-kilo [1,700 lbs! - ed.] concrete-and-steel safe and that it took the industrious thieves two days using blowtorches and sledge hammers to gain access to it.
Yeah, um....never mind.
