Seriously, anyone have any stories of someone pulling a gun at the table? 2nd hand stories? We've had poker and guns for a while where is the risk at?

What is it with Republicans always needing to show their racist side and mention homogenous European counties?
And if you want to draw the conclusion that cities with strict gun laws have insane gun violence, could you please explain London, England to me? A non-homogenous city (44% white), averages about 120 murders per year, of which very few are gun-related.
And why does Japan, a country with over 100 million people, have fewer than 100 gun deaths per year?
Maybe it’s just me, but it sure seems like there are other factors that go into the violence in Chicago, like high poverty levels, etc.
It's funny that you assume I'm racist because I point out facts. I'm not a republican either though it's telling that you assume and use that as an insult. London is very violent, look at the violent crime rate in London. Sure you might be more likely to survive being stabbed than shot. But we agree that it's clearly not the laws that contribute to a higher murder rate in a city like Chicago. And Chicago has a lower poverty rate than London also. So it's not that either, keep guessing.
And you can't compare other countries to US cities. We already have more guns than people in America. Criminals have easy access to guns over here. No laws will change that. Stop being obtuse. People who commit violent crimes are already breaking the law.
Japan has fewer gun deaths because they have fewer guns and they have much less crime in general. It has nothing to do with laws. It's already a crime in America to commit an assault with a gun. Making them illegal doesn't make them *poof* disappear. And honestly I wouldn't want them to. How many tens or hundreds of millions of people were murdered by governments in the twentieth century? The number of violent crimes committed by citizens pales in comparison to the massive scale governments have killed people in the past. Some people at the same time they call Trump a fascist also want to relinquish their 2nd amendment rights to the government. Not smart. Stop being obtuse.
America has a history of slavery. Let's tell descendants of slaves they can't own firearms. Just trust the government. History repeats itself guys, stop being obtuse. The 2nd amendment protects all other rights. How about the jews? Should jews be allowed to own guns? I mean nobody would ever want to hurt them right? Just get on the train and trust the government. Give us your guns and get in the showers. Government's would never do anything like that nowadays right though guys? While I don't think any of that is likely to happen in America if there's a ten thousandth of a percent chance that the government kills millions of people maybe we shouldn't give up our guns?

LOL Americans and I say that as a dual citizen in no universe would I play in a poker game where some idiot is carrying a gun and it's utterly absurd to think it's a good idea in any way shape or form for random gambling civilians to have guns in a casino
If you want a good guy with a gun that's what casino security is for
So you wouldn't play poker with Doyle Brunson? Because he's packing heat when he plays. Are you worried Doyle is gonna take a bad beat and shoot the place up?
