Things havn't changed since Dr. John Lott published the results of his exhaustive research in his book "More Guns, Less Crime".

When law-abiding citizens possess firearms ALL forms of violent crime decrease. Will some people ever face reality?

July 28 shooting spree at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle

Never reported by broadcast media in my area.
Fortunately, I'm a Freeper.

Just as the fact that a few pedophiles use the Internet to trade child porn should not move the society to restrict access to the Internet for the public at large, neither should the right of the vast majority of responsible, law-abiding citizens to own and carry guns be sacrificed in the false hope that criminals would then be constrained.

Very concise! I love it!

So who is to determine who is “responsible” … the second amendment doesn’t concerned itself with “responsible”, just that all citizens have a right to own and bear arms.

Actually, we can limit ALL forms of violence in the following manner:

1. Respect and ENFORCE the 2nd amendment. If I have a rocket (firearm) in my pocket, it's no one's business unless I commit a crime. And that includes if I carry it on government property or on YOUR property. My right to breathe does not end at your property limits. My right to life does not end at your property limits. If you don't want me to carry a weapon on your property, then do not let ANYONE on your property. That is your right. If you invite me on your property in any sense of the word 'invite' INCLUDING hiring me for pay in any way, you invite my INALIEANABLE RIGHTS with me.

IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU LET ME ON YOUR PROPERTY FOR ANY REASON, COMMERCIAL OR OTHERWISE, MY GUN RIGHTS COME WITH ME, JUST AS MY RIGHT TO BREATHE COMES WITH ME.

If you don't want my right to live, my right to defend myself, my GUN RIGHTS on your property, then don't let ANYONE on your property.

Do not think you can exclude me, for I happen to have a racial minority component in my blood. I can do the "they are racists!" thing if you try to deny my gun rights. And I will definately take it to the media, the new media and the local media.

Even better, my skin is 'white'. You can't see me coming you liberal-limousine racists! Hehe. Go ahead, anti-gun-rights folk. Make my retirement RICH.

Take special note, DU trolls.

For those of my FR FRiends who disagree with me:

I bet msst of you are cops or old ladies.

I can't do or say anything to change the mind of an old lady.

As far as cops go:

The bad guys already have machine guns.

If you are stuck in some place and backup is tied up in some more "high priorty" departmental thing.

Would you not welcome a citizen with a pistol coming to your aid? Have the words "Officer, I am with you!" lost all meaning?

Or is only the politically correct, unarmed grandmothers whou are acceptible to the FR WOD stormtroopers?

"We can limit gun violence by empowering responsible citizens to defend themselves"

Okay, as a responsible Citizen I hereby authorize every other responsible Citizen to defend themselves using a force superior to that being used against them The field of self-defense is always tilted in favor of the innocent.

Government can't give you the right to defend yourselves. I'm only reminding you of the right you were born with.

I guess a good dose of sheep wolves and sheepdogs is needed.

"Then there are the wolves," the old war veteran said, "and the wolves feed on the sheep without mercy." Do you believe there are wolves out there who will feed on the flock without mercy? You better believe it. There are evil men in this world and they are capable of evil deeds. The moment you forget that or pretend it is not so, you become a sheep. There is no safety in denial.

An armed society is a polite society.
