Oh yeah. Smoke free for almost a year but I know the "look". 😹🍿🍻🚬🇺🇸

..remember what happens when you attempt to compromise with people whose ultimate goal is your obliteration and why no amount of compromise will ever be enough.

Truer words have never been delineated.

The property rights of restaurant owners are not the only ones that have been abridged. The crux of this matter is the stealth elimination (unconstitutional in its method) of the 2nd Amendment. One has only to look in horror at England and Australia to see whole populations of citizens bereft of their rights to self protection.
In these countries, examples abound where not only are citizens stripped of firearms, but their governments have criminalized any attempt at self defense.

I hope we, the people, do not surrender to such tyranny.

Disarming law abiding citizens will not deter crazies, criminals and terrorists.

[Celerity]

We already gave in. Lets not even talk about the actual laws, but lets talk about our minds and hearts.

When we called out for “Mental Health Issues” and even we have zero specific idea of what a mental health issue is - we’re opening that door.

[Kaslin]

It will only encourage them. Perhaps that is what the gun grabbers really want.

This article is spot on. If you point out the obvious true goal, they accuse you of making a straw man argument. We have to counter that with evidence of the true goal.

I find it kind of ironic that if the true goal was not total confiscation of all firearms, they might actually get some of the legislation that are proposing.

The “Look!”

[rktman]

LOL! Yup. THAT LOOK. The one that says you’re the scum of the earth. Cause you smoke, own guns, are conservative, disagree with “them”, etc., etc.,. Proudly wear it.

[rktman]

Not in recent years have the Aussie or Blokes had the “right” to protect themsleves.

[rktman]

But somebody will “have done something”. Yes, the walk the streets and they vote.

[Big Red Badger]

Did Ben Franklin say,

“Fart Proudly!”

[red-dawg]

I remember when you could smoke on a plane.

You would go to jail now.

[grumpygresh]

Absolutely. No expanded background checks. I do t want some BS where Feds can troll through medical records or controlled substances databases to look for “mental health” issues. That would destroy 2nd and 4th at the same time.

[rktman]

Hey, I smoked on a plane! I also smoked in the movies way back too.

[Retvet]

If the left wants to get rid of crime and something that doesn’t help public safety, get rid of criminal correction. Bring back the death penalty and expand it.

[ExGeeEye]

I smoked

on the job in a clothing store

while shopping for groceries

while walking in a mall...if I ran out the tobacco store had singles for a dime.

[rktman]

LOL! Remember the (I think) little 4 packs the airlines would give out? And 9 out of 10 smoking docs preferred Camels or something? My how times have changed.

[ExGeeEye]

I never got freebies other than some samples being passed out in a mall about 1984.
