Do you know what really amazing me in this, "the land of the free"? Its that the liberals (and other ignorant people) just can't grasp the fact that the more people are disarmed the worse crime gets. Why can't they see whats happening right in front of their eyes?

Look at Australia. The government went on a gun graping rampage and seized (plus a lot of ignoramuses turned in their guns) millions of privately owned guns, and yet did the crime rate fall?, no just the opposite happened. Yet the liberals (and other ignorant people) in this Country still scream GUN CONTROL.

Sammy ''The Bull'' Gravano has, by his own admission, sent 19 men to their graves. So it's safe to say that the former underboss of the Gambino crime family knows a thing or two (or 19) about guns and violence.

That's why his recent remarks about gun control, published in Vanity Fair, have resonance.

"Gun Control? It's the best thing you can do for crooks and gangsters. I want you to have nothing. If I'm a bad guy, I'm always gonna have a gun. Safety locks? You pull the trigger with a lock on, and I'll pull the trigger. We'll see who wins." -- VANITY FAIR 9/99 page 165 Sammy “the Bull” Gavano

Yep, it's pathetic....they want to lighten sentences for criminals and abolish the death penalty for youthful murderers, then take away the means to defend ourselves from these depraved creatures. Dial 911 and die

The answer is not disarming.
The answer is arming.

This is a difficult concept for some to grasp; it cannot be said to often.
An armed society is a polite society.

I am armed everywhere I go. That includes Church.

If just one other member of that congregation were carrying a gun, lives would have been saved.

It must be the worst kind of death to know death is coming to you, a family member, a loved one, and feel completely helpless to prevent it.
What kind of a sick mind can believe that that is the most "civilized" way to live?

Not that I mind at all, if it were limited to a personal choice. When it is forced upon everyone else due to insanity or any other reason, that anger overtakes me.

"A man walked into a church in Wisconsin two weeks ago and shot dead seven people before turning the gun on himself.

I agree with most of the article but I am sick to death of the above media-perpetuated lie. It was not in a church, it was church-group in a hotel.
