Smartphones are computers, and most blacks I see have more expensive ones than my own; I can’t help that they use it for different purposes.
People want guns because they no longer assume anyone else will protect them, and some suspect those paid to protect them have become the enemy.
If “Guns kill people” and guns are so dangerous how does anyone survive going to a gun show?
The predicted bloodbath did not occur when Texas authorized open carry. I have yet to see an instance, though I do not get out much.
“Current “progressives” live in a bubble, and have a limited view of reality. They are very smug about themselves. “
The Left signals its virtue by spouting what is held by the Left as a virtuous position. They bask in the praise from people they want to impress and ignore the response from people they don’t care about. Their position is fashionable and sets them above the common folk. They are the Dixie Chicks of our culture, seeking praise and attention. Unfortunately they vote.
Repeating a post I made on another thread =>
Northern Europeans are better armed than most think. According to a 2007 survey cited by wiki, gun ownership in Germany, France, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden is just over 30 guns per 100 residents. That compares to 45 guns/100 residents in Switzerland and 112/100 for the US.
A word about the survey. It looks like the source is one of the usual suspects, so the figures are probably way low. However, it seems reasonable that comparing ratios would be more accurate. Looked at that way, the northern Europeans have 2/3 of the guns that the Swiss have.

..........read/listen to the news much, a$$#ole??
Wrong question. The question should be:
Why does the Government want to take them away?
What's the take away from this? It is Obama himself sending it and can't understand the difference between "by" and "buy". Or, he just has some other flunky racist think up this crap and tweet out.....take your pick.
True. I have zero compassion for these jerks if and when they are raped, mugged, stabbed, or shot. I say, “tough-titty, you deserve what you got because you’re a moron.”
The best reason ever was given to Senator Feinstein. “Because you don’t want me to...”
Add in “students of history” to the list of people who want guns.
One of my lingering Walter Mitty fantasies is to go back in time and arm the european Jews in 1938.
Question for Obama. He says “we” flood communities with guns. Who is we?
This is excellent writing, Dean.
There is a fundamental difference in cognitive abilities between leftists and normal people. Leftists believe the worst of people, especially themselves. They do not trust their own self-control. It's easy to see because they are the most willful people on the planet.
Normal people are cognizant of impulse control, exercise reflection (thinking about actions, reactions and consequences) and practice delayed gratification.
It's no wonder leftists want to ban guns - as irrationally frightened as they are of everything around them (including themselves) firearms represent the epitome of responsibility - a concept that leftists never learned and are utterly incapable of possessing.
A disarmed populace lives at the mercy of criminals and politicians. Praise the Lord and pass the ammo.
That tweet was even stupider in its original form:
"We flood communities with so many guns that it is easier for a teenager to buy a Glock than to get his hands on a computer or even a book"
Most of those Brazilian submachine guns look like variants of the STEN. Many of the illegal Australian guns are also STENs. The gun grabbers don’t understand that once disruptive technology has been released, in this case by the British or the AK by the Russians, you can’t go back. A couple of STENs and AKs would have stopped that truck/lorry in Nice long before that ISIS terrorist killed 80+ people.
why do people want guns?
Start with BLM and work out from there.
“...Why do People Want Guns so Much?...”
Hmm... that one’s easy.
Because there are Democrats around.
