Concur. I had mixed feelings about this. I thought Shapiro is a great guy and did a reasonable job trying to assert himself, but I too was very, very troubled with how much he was ceding in this debate.

I am not sure if Mr. Shapiro just needs some more seasoning or if he really holds these unacceptable concessions as acceptable. I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he just needs some additional stage practice, but if he really does support what he says, then I’m off the Shapiro bandwagon.

Absolutely NO registry of any kind, under any circumstances!

Shapiro also said that if we ban so-called "assault" rifles, we should ban handguns.

But that was not a concession...it was a stratagem to expose the illogical, even hypocritical, nature of the Left's position.

After all, you can buy a 30 round clip for a Glock 26.

Nothing was ceded in this debate. Confusion was sown among the Left.

Even the usually pushy Piers Morgan looked sheepish.

He will not sleep well tonight.

It has been said that the modern reason why Switzerland has not been invaded is not the Alps...but the weapons owned and loved by the citizenry.

That is what Shapiro was trying to say...we are trying to defend our freedom, our independence from those who would take it away.

And Obama definitely wants to take it away!
