To be sure, there are many defenders of people's right to bear arms, most notably the National Rifle Association.
Isn't the NRA just a group of people like any other “Special interest group”. When it's ACORN or some other Leftist whiner group, it's people. When it's law-abiding gun ownership, it's a faceless entity
FTA:When people get scared .. they resort to self-defense tactics.
That's because you need to maintain parity with the criminals, it wouldn't matter if you're a black belt in Karate if the thug has a gun does it?
FTA:It's interesting that a society such as ours that is domestically conflict free is driving the market for small weapons.
Always amazing when someone can stare at a fact and not get it. It should be freaking OBVIOUS why our society is “Conflict Free”.
Domestically conflict free? Try explaining that to the tens of thousands of crime victims. More Americans have died on the streets of the United States since 2001 than on the streets of Iraq, the majority being innocent victims of armed criminals. This reasoning belies a belief that guns are only instruments of war. The author's anti-gun bias is seen by everyone but him.
You know that. I know that. I'm sure even the a**clown who wrote the article knows that. But being as the truth is kryptonite to the anti-RKBA agenda, they have no problem stooping to outright lies.
You can't use a rational argument against a liar. That's why I've stopped arguing with them and simply tell them that if they want my guns, they should have the courage of their convictions and come to my house to take them. I tell them don't send a cop or ATF agent to do their dirty work, they themselves need to come to my door and demand I turn over my weapons. That usually stops the debate in its tracks.
