Hmmmm . . . if the people he’s writing for are so thoughtful, why do they need his help in responding to 2nd Amendment supporters?

The college students need to arm themselves and remember that we have gun rights to stop evil government from destroying our first amendment liberties and rights granted in our by our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Obamanation democrats and rino politicians hate Americans freedoms.

•In the last 30 years there has never been a single instance of a good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy intent on killing a bunch of people... 30 years.

Gee, they believe they can lie with impunity.

I recently saw a listing of countries’ gun possession/murder statistics. Without the “gun free” cities with the open season for murders, the U.S. would be near the bottom, on the entire planet.

The second amendment recognizes that a militia may be regulated. Go ahead, regulate it but not its weapons. Those are for the people.

I was referring to ownership.

Would be great if I could read that in a printable format....

Sorry. There should be a link to just the essay or a PDF, but no luck.

[Vendome]

Wasn’t really directed at you but, yeah, a printable or PDF version would be easier....

Those “thoughtful” people are going to be might embarrassed when they find out how specious their “facts” are....

Every bullet point contains an outright lie.
