In some respects I agree, we do need 'more gun control'.

Too many bad guys are getting away wounded instead of dead.

How to convince lefties that guns are a good idea:

1) No More Matthew Shepard’s. Shouldn’t the gay community be allowed to protect themselves from physical harm from homophobes, intolerant of others sexual orientation??

2) Shouldn’t women who are about to practice their reproductive rights ,upheld by the US Supreme Court, be allowed to protect themselves from the gauntlet of Christian, Taliban protesters enamored with Sarah Palin, who willing shoot doctors in Planned Parenthood facilities??

3) No More James Byrd JRs! Shouldn’t the African American community be allowed to protect themselves confederate flag flying, racist rednecks, residing throughout the rural South?

4) Shouldn’t our critical,indispensable federal and state employees be allowed to protect themselves from the angry,mean-spirited,,extremists in the Tea Party who create a toxic environment while camped out for months on end, in front of our nation’s government offices and city halls?

5) Aren’t conservatives like drug dealers? They are going to get guns anyway, why not protect ourselves from their unenlightened,backward ideology?

I’ve told lefties these phrases and their heads spin.

There misnomer such thing as an illegal gun. The name itself is misleading as is all they do.

Among the slick, million-dollar ads for the likes of Pepsi and Honda during the Super Bowl this Sunday, viewers in Washington will see a far more modest spot. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino will be sitting on a couch touting an issue most politicians avoid like the plague:
Obliterating God given second amendment rights.

Let me guess. New York City needs more gun control laws. The—what is it now?—$250 permit application? The six to nine month waiting period, the bring each gun in and register it off the serial number on the handle requirement, the three month waiting period between guns, the mandatory membership in a range for target licenses, and carry it around in a locked box. The special long gun permit required nowhere else in NY City.-—These all aren’t enough. What is it this time? Spread the love to all 50 states? Did they find another model of gun that looks scary if you shine the light on it this way, and therefore they want it banned? How much is enough for these yoyos?

Here in Israel, we have a few strictly enforced gun laws, and when I see a big black man walking down the street with an Uzi strapped across his back, I nod hello and he nods back, same as I would the scrawny 20-year-old kid with the acne and the M-16. Can any New York resident say the same?
