I guess Andy thinks that all firearms will magically disappear upon the order of Der Führer and unicorns will pee mocha lattes and excrete Skittles while we all sing camp songs and eat rainbow stew.

There’s no use to even try to educate these imbeciles——at least until they are confronted face to face by a bad guy with with a gun.

The NRA and its disciples believe that they deserve to own guns at all costs. The costs are very high; people are literally killing us, their fellow Americans, because of their gun obsession.

Like free speech hasn't killed anyone? MLK, Malcolm X to name just a few.

The massacres that happen on a fairly regular basis in our schools, work places, and now at a public gathering of an elected official are almost all committed by a person who is a legal gun owner or by someone who steals or borrows a gun from a relative who is a legal gun owner.

AFAIK, few if any of these perps have had CC license, but does anybody know whether this claim is accurate? Certainly Loughner purchased his 9mm legally.

Rwanda comes to mind. Or Mexico. Take your pick...

Actually we American Citizens believe in the U.S. Constitution which is what tells us we have the right to bear arms..
As to sane gun , we have what about 6000 plus guns laws between the Feds and the States? So you think what? We need how mnay more . ANOTHER 20, 40 500?

“And this anger should give thoughtful people the backbone to tell the NRA that the Wild West show that they sponsor is over. “

Uhh, actually, we didn’t sponsor the show.

It was some fellers named Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, I believe. The script they wrote is called the Bill of Rights - its somewhere in something called the
U. S. Constitution.

I like the way you cleaned up your "rhetoric" - LOL!

Walk-in rampages are one kind of crime. Yeah, maybe these crimes would go down if people couldn’t buy guns. However, these are not the only time murders with guns happen. There are plenty of other times people find themselves with a badguy or several badguys and going gun to gun would be a lot more advantagouse then trying to knife fight with them.

Andy better change his diaper -- I think he's wet himself again.

Why, yes, yes we do.

At all costs.

I got some interesting perspective from a former girlfriend some years ago. She was an uber-liberal, and very much against gun ownership (I used to clean my guns while we watched TV together... drove her nuts... but anyway:). Then one time when we talked about it yet ~again~ she finally tapping into what her fear was all about: She didn’t trust herself with a gun. She was afraid of becoming so angry someday that she’d just use the gun in rage. She didn’t understand how anybody could have enough self control not to just kill the next person that made them mad.

That really set me back on my heels. Now, at times I’ve been pretty darn angry at various people over my lifetime... but never even once did it occur to me to grab a gun and kill them. There must be something in the makeup of liberals— since we already know that they let emotions drive their decisions instead of reason. They act on feeling, not thinking. They don’t trust themselves with a gun, therefore they don’t trust anyone.

It’s kinda frightening to get a peek inside somebody’s head like that. And like I said... EX girlfriend.

Andy appears to be firmly stuck on stupid. Maybe a sharp smack to the back of the head with a Buick would cure him.

If the government turns on us, it's all over anyhow, for crying out loud. The government has tanks, jets, and flame throwers.
The government does indeed have that equipment.
Shouldn't the things you mentioned be regulated like guns as well? If it's freedom from death at your fellow man that you seek then logic dictates that the only answer is yes.

Why does anybody in America need a gun that can shoot and blow away dozens of people in only 30 seconds?
Why does the government need equipment that can shoot and blow away thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of it's own Citizens in only 30 seconds?

It's simply amazing that you don't see the dichotomy in your own argument.

P.S. - There are still people running those tanks, jets, and flame throwers. It doesn't seem to worry you that those people might go nuts at any time and they've got more guns and equipment than anybody.

We live in a country where entertainer-public figure Sarah Palin shoots animals for fun to show what a tough woman she is and to prove she is one of the guys.

Actually it was to fill her freezer. Making liberals like Andy wee themselves is just an entertaining side benefit.
