More like drowning in a sea of criminals who laugh at the judicial system. Liberals think midnight basketball and establishing a meaningful dialog is the answer for thugs and drug addicts who terrorize innocent citizens.

Nope, it ain’t too many guns, it’s too many psychotic drug-addled Obama supporters.

These guys will get to show us how it's done when we cut New England loose and send all these guys packing to their new liberal paradise posthaste -- with nicks in their ears and perpetual tattoos on their foreheads, and an everlasting interdict of exile on their heads.

Time to split the sheets. Time for these guys to go, forever.

No.

Washington DC is drowning in a sea of thugs and criminals, but the country is not “drowning in a sea of guns”.

In fact, I do not think ENOUGH law abiding citizens are stepping up and accepting the responsibility of owning and bearing firearms for self protection.

Too many people, especially those in large cities, are far too reliant on the police to “take care” of them.

Residents of large cities are typically liberal, i.e. the non-criminal types. The criminals are simply criminal and apolitical, and are overdue for punishment.
