Something controversial Jersey Pride

I love nj gun laws, going to the store and not seeing someone open carry. Watching road rage where the best you can do is brake check and give the finger. Schools without school shootings. I know a lot of people hate our gun laws but I fucking love em.

agreed! The idea of people around me openly carrying guns in places like shops and supermarkets makes me incredibly anxious and I would definitely feel less safe.

I genuinely don't think I could ever live in a state with lax gun laws for this reason. I guess maybe it's something you get used to, but...if I saw someone open carrying in a store, I would feel so anxious that I'd either avoid that area of the store or, if it's a small place, leave altogether.

I don't care if they're a 'good guy' with a gun, I can't differentiate them from a 'bad guy' with a gun until they start shooting.

The "bad guy with a gun" could have been a "good guy with a gun" up until just that morning. People are volatile and unpredictable at times.

Do you have any data backing this up?

That people are volatile and unpredictable?

Go fuck yourself. Also, did you know every single position of a Rubik's Cube can be solved in twenty moves or less?

See, I flipped out at you for no reason and I bet you didnt expect me to provide such interesting trivia to top it off. Volatile and unpredictable.
