I’ve never seen a Chipotle in the hood.
He was thinking of Timmy Chan’s or something.
Dudes bringing the rifles into a fucking restaurant got small dicks. Aint no reason to be parading around town with that shit unless you plan to shoot anything that moves. Otherwise wrap that rifle in a blanket, toss it in the backseat, and go get yo ass burrito.
I really have no idea how you’re supposed to be a gun activist in a restaurant by waving a gun around.
The restaurant, matter of factly, should ban you from the premises because you’re interrupting a business from conducting business, and all of society will disagree with whatever the fuck your opinion is because Chipotle has nothing to do with guns.
are you a woman? cause thats some weird ass feminist talk right there.
While I agree that there is no reason for people to bring guns into a restaurant or any place else. To those people from Texas its probably like their cell phones. Just something that they have to have on them even if they don’t use it. If I owned a gun I’d probably want to carry it on me and not leave it in my car to be stolen. Or worse yet someone breaks into my car, hides and uses my gun against me when I get back to the car.
To that point, how many of you bring your cell phones with you wherever you go? To a restaurant? Store? Park? Do you really NEED to bring it with you to those locations? No you don’t. You’d get along fine without it. But something about leaving it at home, not having it on your person at all times makes you feel “wrong”, naked almost. These gun owners probably feel the same way about leaving their gun in the car or at home. So while I agree that there isn’t a good reason to keep a gun on you at all times and you can get along just fine without it. All of you are just as guilty of doing the same thing with your cell phones. Which has killed more people every day than people dying because someone wanted to support their law allowing them to carry small arms into store.
Which again is the kicker, 3,000+ people die every year from cell phones and 400,000+ are injured. Because they have to have their cell phone on them, they have to answer texts, emails and phone calls instantly. And no one has died from someone bringing in their gun to an establishment that’s allows open and concealed weapons because they have to have their gun on them.
i generally agree with this…but an assault rifle?? if it was like a handgun or sumtin…something you can fit into a holdster…thats totally something diff that i wouldnt have an issue with
Weakest analogy ever. How is a cell phone anywhere near comparable to a device created to KILL or at least maim someone? :lol:
chipotle can totally cash in on this by having them check in their firearms at the front counter and charge them like $5 per weapon.
no check in = no burrito.
How the fuck do you compare carrying a cell phone to carrying a firearm?
a cell phone is a tool so is a gun.
I can kill you with either one.
You’re supporting an idiotic argument and you’re doing it just to be a contrarian. Don’t make me embarrass you.
Yeah, texting-&-driving kills more people per year on avg than gun-related deaths.
Never had a reason to go to Chipotle but my city has godlike Mexican food.
I will say that its some bullshit that people can walk around with guns but fucking butterfly knives are illegal. I’ve done hella useful things with my knife where shooting wouldn’t have worked.
As a gun owning 2a supporting NRA member with a concealed carry license, I maintain that people open carrying rifles In private businesses with no reason does the cause no good- the result is usually people freaking out and the business banning guns, meaning legal concealed carry is banned as well. I’ve oc’ed my rifle in public once, and that was to protest fucking Bloomberg and his anti gun tour that came to my town.
I don’t mind guns, but I don’t mind banning them, either. They are a nuisance in the streets. And I know the argument of banning guns means the criminals will be the only ones with them, but there’s no proof of that save for crime going up in Chicago. But banning guns from a city isn’t the same as banning guns in the entire country.
people shouldn’t be flaunting their rifles in public space, because it’s public space. Concealed carry should be the standard if people want to carry these things.
banning or bitching about citizens that fullfil their social contract, and own these tools is dumb and unconstitutional
that granted, folks shouldnt carry open carry firearms in public for the sake of it.
Chicago isn’t the only place with asinine anti gun laws and high crime- lots of big liberal cities follow the same pattern, albeit to a lesser extreme. Banning guns across the country isn’t going to make them disappear anymore than banning illegal drugs made them vanish. Russia and Brazil still have very high firearms murder rates (I should clarify having to separate “firearms murder/crime” from “murder/crime” is the product of a biased media) despite tight gun laws.
Something that’s always left out when talking about guns and crime in America is the fact that crime is pretty much always the worst in big cities, where gun ownership per capita is often significantly lower than smaller towns and rural areas. I believe this is much more of a cultural problem than it is an issue of who’s armed and who’s not (though I maintain that fear of being shot is a powerful deterrent for criminals), but either way it easily deflates the argument that having more guns “on the streets” means more crime- the average anti-gun activist would have you believe that more people being armed should mean every day is like a shootout at the OK corral.
Going further down that train of thought, why it that (in the case of crime involving firearms) the focus is on the tool rather than the actual causes? It seems easier to blame inanimate objects than to face the real cultural problems at the root of crime.
I won’t get into a long-winded debate about this because I seem to get sucked into one every few months on this very topic, but banning guns has had positive effects on countries. Japan, Australia, and U.K. all come to mind, with a few other European countries who fare much better than we do.
Chipotles are private property. Just because anyone who wants a burrito can go there does not make it public property.
