    Freedom. Being ready willing and able to shoot someone and choosing not to. Thanks for the clarification there, NRA.

    Because it’s oh so much better to deny the law abiding individual that needs protection from getting a weapon. Oh wait, crooks obey laws in the liberal fantasy world. Got it.

    Could a liberal organization be formed to inform gun safety? No.

    You don’t shoot to kill, you shoot to stay alive.

    It is getting tiresome to comment on this topic, I almost feel like posting links to previous well thought topics. I’ll just have to say that looks like a single shot bolt action rifle held by one guy, and a sharp pointy thing held by the other. Neither would be banned by current legislation.
    This was a new proposal of which I heard. I can’t recall, is it the DC times or post that’s the liberal tool/conservative propagandist?

    I would rather be judged by 12 then carried by 6. If you do have a CC you better shoot to kill in self defense! Less paperwork, less money the tax payer has to shell out for a loser.

    The insurance angle is the winner. On top of setting up a smart regulatory mechanism, it creates a huge new PRIVATE industry.

    Hmmm, see if you can speak with Adam Lanza’s mother about that one.

    One of the four fundamental human rights – Freedom from fear – took a serious hit yesterday. When the best arguments against restricting assault weapons and high capacity magazines are:
    1. Gayle Trotter, Independent Women’s Forum – “that one woman up against 4-5 intruders needs an assault weapon to defend her children.” or
    2. Lindsay Graham, U.S. Senator – “that one young woman defending herself may find that six bullets are not enough and she will need fifteen.”
    - Then you have to wonder if the inmates have taken over the institution.
    .
    I wonder if they have considered that the bad guys are not standing around being willing targets for these courageous young women with high capacity assault weapons?
    .
    And that’s not even mentioning Wayne Lapierre, NRA, who has his own financial and power based reasons for promoting fear and paranoia.
    .
    The most articulate testimony came from Gabby Giffords who is partially paralyzed and speaks with great difficulty because of a senseless attack from a young man with a high capacity weapon while serving her constituents. And the majority of Gabby’s colleagues will find reasons to allow the public to keep their people-slaughtering weapons. Unbelievable!
    .
    The rest of the civilized world who actually do live in freedom from fear are wondering what has happened to the good old U.S.A.

    Guns are 40 times more likely to kill someone in the house than an intruder. But conservatives reject math…

    @ARodney

    And so do you when it comes to math.

  12. roverit

    roverit said, 5 months ago

    When it comes to math law abiding citizens don’t kill people intenually (so I can’t spell sue me) just the crazy people or criminals do. Now do the math.

    @sw10mm

    I’d have 100% gun control, this used as a weapon against crime. Maybe this is waht the libertarians and conservatives fear.
    I fear the NRA and its goons even more than the so-called “bad” guys.

    @ansonia

    Semantics, only semantics…
    The very next sentence is ..“a dead man kills no more.”
    And, I do favor allowing people to defend themselves, using guns; I do NOT want the insane and semi-insane to be able to do this.

    You didn’t get the point of sw10MM, then only criminals would have guns you idiot.
