>>> you can’t tell me this is an insoluble problem.

Well, actually it is a soluble problem... you have 2 choices...

1. Communism

2. Jesus (A God-fearing nation)

Looks like we have made our choice... or rather changed it.

“We have full-time security all the time,” says Fred Nigro, David Letterman’s business manager. “We have it for the show, and we have it for everything else.”

Elitist liberal clowns like Letterman just want to take away your guns. Different rules for themselves.

Is that allowed these days?

Anyone who listens to what this brainless egotist has to say about anything deserves to be a slave.

This thread has just added to the FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".

Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.

Hey Dave...are the nubile young interns that “World Wide Pants” hires allowed to pack heat in order to repel unwanted advances from a certain you-know-who?

How many children are killed in this country by abortion Dave?

And to think I used to think this shmuck was funny and cool in college.

Oh, those were the days. Oh to be so blissfully unaware again. Can’t out that genie back in the bottle though.

California and Connecticut have some of the strictest gun laws in the nation.

Letterman needs to stick to screwing his interns.

The American Revolution began when the British tried to disarm the colonists.

Sorry but it is, assuming he views gun ownership as the problem. The Second Amendment isn't going away.

I’ll bet that Letterman lives in a mansion with armed guards.

Sure, it is not an insoluble problem. You just have to ask the right question.
WHO is committing these murders with firearms?
Well, in well over half the cases, it is blacks and “Hispanics” committing these murders. They commit crimes at a rate far higher than whites or Asians. If the Black and Hispanic populations were removed from the statistics, along with the crimes they commit, the USA would look like one of the more peaceful countries in Europe.
But that really isn’t the answer Letterman wanted, is it?

I want to accord David Letterman certain courtesies and concede the genuineness of his heart as a nice Jewish liberal who was brought up to believe that the application of goodwill and intelligence through government can somehow solve the problems of human nature. I listened closely to what must be described as his ramblings and I heard him say respecting guns that he does not want to "eliminate them but to improve…" or words substantially to that effect.

The problem for Mr. Letterman is that this is an all or nothing problem. He must trash the Second Amendment and eliminate the liberty of people to defend themselves if he is to have his way. That is because the half measures which Letterman conceives of serve only to render the honest citizen more vulnerable to criminal predators who would use guns. In effect, every restriction imposed by people who think like Letterman only make the problem worse.

David Letterman wants to do something about children being murdered and so do we all but he has already done something, no doubt, about the problem of David Letterman being murdered. He is a man undoubtedly worth tens of millions of dollars and it is inconceivable that when he leaves the CBS studios at night to move about New York City he does so without protection of armed bodyguards. Every celebrity of his stature and financial wherewithal do so. They have no trouble getting permits to carry arms both for themselves and for their bodyguards. Sean Hannity, for example, has stated that he carries.

So from his safe cocoon David Letterman wants half measures perhaps without consciously realizing that he will not be affected by the very policies which he espouses. He will remain safe and protected by guns while the night nurse returning from duty in the hospital in the wee hours alone on the subway must travel unprotected and unarmed through the Bronx. She is more vulnerable to crime because liberals have weakened the criminal justice system, have through their policies made it known to the criminals that the likelihood that they will be apprehended is not great, if apprehended the likelihood that they will be convicted of the real crime is not great, if sentenced to a lesser crime the likelihood is they will not serve an extended sentence. These conditions have been brought about by well-intentioned liberals aggravating the problem of violence which so distresses David Letterman

Is it too much to ask well-intentioned liberals to accept the same risks they would impose on others?

Half of all murders are committed by young black men who comprise less than 3% of the population.

Even then I will not comply.

No reason to. Just b/c the law says slavery is OK doesn't mean we have to go along with it.

If he is so worried about children being “murdered” he might want to start at the Abortion factories who have a record of over 55,000,000 murdered since 1973. I doubt there is even 1/100th of that number murdered by guns in the same time frame.

Illegal aliens are responsible for 25 deaths a day in the US yet the left has no intention of doing anything but giving them amnesty.
