I have been arguing with liberals all day today. They think what they think for purely emotional reasons only. They won't let you have a moral argument, and once you give that ground up to them, they keep changing the subject until they've got you.
I'm done talking with commies about gun control. When big government comes to take mine -- and they must eventually to reach their goals -- I will go out in a hail of bullets, but not before I send several of them to hell.
Until then, I am just going to stop arguing with liberals about guns.

The fact is that if Zimmerman had not had a gun, attempted murderer Trayvon would still be alive. And Zimmerman would be dead.

Adam Winkler points out in his delicious book, Gun Fight, what we call the wild west had some of the strictest gun control laws weve seen as a nation. The shootout at the OK Corral took place, after all, because Wyatt Earp was trying to disarm the outlaw cowboys in accordance with a Tombstone ordinance. Arizona didn't become a state until 1912. The Constitution does not necessarily apply to territories. The author is an ass.

A while back I read a whiny liberal story about the skyrocketing rate of defensive shootings in Detroit.Some people just can't quite get the hang of that "Stand down and let the hoodies have your neighborhood" thing. Go figure.

Just like cutting taxes doesnt increase revenuemaking gun ownership unlimited doesnt make us safer. This is all I needed to read to know that this loon doesn't know what she's talking about.

I am not interested in discussing the subject with you, Tina. Come and take my guns, be the first one through the door, or STFU. ;-)

Most of the Defense stories out of detroit are elderly blacks killing the hoods who prey on them.

It wasn’t until the late 1800’s that the government and courts began to really hammer on the rights of people. Until fairly recent times there has been no need to clarify that it was a Constitunional right, it was a given! People have become educated IDIOTS in recent history.

"The fact is that if Zimmerman had not had a gun, attempted murderer Trayvon would still be alive. And Zimmerman would be dead."
And the race pimps and the media would have yawned at the killing of a "white guy" by yet another innocent black thug.

The bullobama in this screed made me dizzy. Do you need a journalism degree to become this willfully ignorant?
The KKK was among other things, a gun-control organization. They were trying to keep guns out of the hands of newly freed slaves
but still gun control.
Yes, racist Democrats, but let's gloss over that. Would those newly freed slaves have been better or worse off if they had been able to be armed? Not to mention that the KKK wanted to disarm newly freed slaves for the same reason leftist still want to disarm those they would control.
A recent gun buyback drive in Los Angeles resulted in someone turning in a rocket launcher. Comforting.
Cite? Of course not.
Theres no reason a Neighborhood Watch captain should be patrolling his block with a criminal record and a pistol.
Which may be the reason he wasn't....
Zimmerman was a catastrophe realized. Even in the wake of new evidence about this case, the fact remains if Zimmerman didnt have a gun, 16-year-old Trayvon Martin would be alive.
And Zimmerman likely wouldn't be alive.
The United States is number one in the world in civilian gun ownership. And since were not last in gun violence (were the 14th highest in deathsway higher in just injuries) its safe to assume that increasing the number of guns doesnt decrease the number of gun deaths.
Not so long as Holder People and other Democrats ignore laws against murder, robbery, burglary, carjacking and felonies in general. A good deal of those gun deaths occur in Democrat bastions with just the gun laws the author advocates. Many of the dead are disarmed and defenseless in the face of these criminal thugs.
Just like cutting taxes doesnt increase revenue...
Actually it does. But why would the author not be ignorant about that as well?
What a brain dead parrot.

Too late, lady.
The Supreme Court already ruled your view obsolete.
Sorry about your luck.

A while back I found some old prison records from the civil war era. It listed items returned to inmates upon release. Among those were guns, knives, clubs etc. I'd like to see that. Like in the movie "High Plains Drifter" when they let the bad guys out of prison, they handed them their gun belts back as they left the gates.

“regulated” meaning “government facilitating the most effective use & application”
In 1786, well-regulated meant well-trained. Town and State militias routinely met for drill and shooting practice.
This author is scary stupid!

Yes, well regulated its in the Constitution!
Well regulated didn't mean banned nor goverment controlled.
It meant functional.

Speaking of Eastwood films, remember "Unforgiven"? Little Bill made sure that everyone turned in their guns at town's edge.
Wouldn't want "violence", you know.
