...sigh. Its not a bad thing for the military to shoot people. Its what they're PAID to do. I didn't say it was a bad thing.
All I'm saying is armed groups of people usually equate to people getting shot. I'd be the same if the just had knives. People would get stabbed.
Tell ya what...get back to me at the end of April and let's see how well your pessimism holds up.
1,000+ Minutemen are betting you're wrong, and the ACLU is betting you're right.
Love to stay up and continue this discussion, but I'm going to call it a night.
That's total B.S. spread by the likes of Handgun Control for years until most states passed concealed-carry laws that directly resulted in LESS violent crimes being committed. If you want to be a conservative you've got to start by comparing the facts to what the liberals have been selling you. Your heart seems to be in the right place - look further into these issues before laying out presumptions.
I've always felt safest in the company of armed law-abiding citizens. Had one armed person been present in a Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas one day many untimely funerals could have been prevented. I dare say if antigun standards weren't so pervasive some young man or woman would have gotten a hunting gun out of their vehicle's trunk and significantly reduced the body count at Columbine.
Disarming law abiders just makes them easier prey for criminals and the violently insane.
BFD!
Normally, large groups of felons commiting felonies in public view lead to mass arrests.
With respect to both activities, you've got to expect losses.
Hmmm. Never been to a range, match, or event involving firearms, have you?
The key to controlling any tool is discipline, not many guns have minds of their own.
Your assertion is contradicted daily by million of law abiding gun owners.

So what you're saying is that million or so CCW holders should have a history of shooting people. Sorry CJ but your laundry stinks and it just won't wash on this forum.
