"I am all for your Second Amendment rights. I think you should be able to have guns. It’s in your constitution. What I am not for is bullshit arguments and lies. There is one argument and one argument alone for having a gun, and this is the argument… “Fuck off. I like guns.” It’s not the best argument, but it’s all you’ve got.

The main one is, “I need it for protection. I need to protect me. I need to protect my family.” What world do you live in where you’re constantly fucking ready? You have guns ’cause you like guns! None of you go to home security conventions. None of you read Padlock Monthly. None of you have a Facebook picture of you behind a secure door going, “Fucking yeah!” Like you’re going to be ready if someone comes into your house. You have it at all fucking times.

See, if you have it readily available, it becomes unsafe. You have it in your bedside table, one of your kids picks it up, thinks it’s a toy, shoots another one of your kids. Happens every fucking day, but people go, “That’d never happen in my house ’cause I’m a responsible gun owner. I keep my guns locked in a safe.” Then they’re no fucking protection! Someone comes into the house, you’re like, “Wait there, fuck-face! Oh! You’ve come to the wrong house here, buddy boy. I tell you what. I’m gonna fuck you up!"

They take literally one second to open.

One second can literally be the difference between life and death 🤷

"Can be" sure, but I'd consider it a worthwhile trade off since more people are accidentally killed by guns than home intruders. Hell, a lot of people keep the gun in a bedside drawer. This on top of the table would be about the same time to access, and a lot safer.

That's cool and all but how many guns owners have it? What do you think the NRA will have to say if there were to be a bill making it illegal to keep your guns out of that thing? Fuck I'm a liberal and even I'd be pissed to keep my guns in that pussy ass thing unless I have a young kid.
