Well. Off the top off my ample head I can think of a few:


You don't believe policemen should be armed either, right?
“There were mothers who took this [Rodney King LA riots] as an opportunity to take some milk, to take some bread, to take some shoes ... They are not crooks.”

This liberal would be about socializing . . . uh, umm. . . . Would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies.

You don't think Chinese people make a decent goulash, right?

Thanks for bothering to do some thinking on this, Doc. Majax doesn't consider the lives of young people worth the effort. :rolleyes:

suppose you have several guns yourself and live on the outskirts of town A, a gun-friendly town where the entire population is armed to the hilt for self-protection and trips to the range. there are gun stores all over, the pawn shops are brimming with guns, and all kinds of gun events and rallies. If a cop pulls you over, your AR-15 on the back seat and 20 filled clips may get you out of the ticket as a chat about the range ensues. The schools have an armed cop on patrol and 70 percent of the teachers carry. Town B has a full gun ban excepting a few LE who reside there. Possession of firearms or ammunition will get you jail time. On the road between town A and B, there are daily random stops and searches; chances are you could make it to B with a gun, but it's risky.

Since you're on the outskirts of A, you have the option of taking your kids to school A or school B, which one do you pick?

Any of the ones that actually exists. Not the ones that only exist in your fantasy land of liberal “straw towns” comparisons.

17 people were brutally and tragically murdered because our governments refused to act upon specific and repetitive warnings and information on this psycho that was hand delivered and laid at their feet.

But clouded thinkers, such as you, would rather convince us to believe that the government will continue to protect us, turn over our arms and abandoned our right to protect ourselves.

Yep - you definitely qualify to spend your life posting here.

You're way off on this. I consider all lives worth the effort. That's why I support our right to protect ourselves. For you, it's a matter of statistics. If fewer people overall are killed by guns (including street pharmacists and pimps who embrace the lifestyle because it's easier), you're ok with a significant minority of law biding citizens being left defenseless in their homes or in their car against burglars and other criminals. They're just collateral damage to you. They're lives are of no more value than the gangsters and criminals who choose that lifestyle or in many cases perpetrate the crimes. You probably think their crimes are our fault for not having paid enough taxes and thus the reason they had to embrace the gangster lifestyle. Who wants to pick lettuce for $10/hr right? Whatever the murder rate, it shouldn't take away my right to defend myself nor force me to rely upon a government or a tyrannical majority who honestly does not care about me or my family. That's what the intent of the founders of this nation was when they wrote the 2nd amendment.

What, specifically, do you think "governments" should have done with those warnings? Walk me through what you think should've happened.
