It is understandable that now, more than ever, Americans want to feel safe. Our basic sense of security has been shattered by the events of Sept. 11. But now more than ever we must respondto our fear and uncertainty with common sense and calm, not hysteria.

She trots out the usual nonsense. Most of which are simple lies, the rest of which are gross simplifications, based on a deceptive assumption that the behavior of a small population with an abnormally high risk of violence is representative of the risk of the rest of us.
I had my flamethrower out.
Guns are not necessary to protect us from foreign enemies. The US military is assigned that resposibilty.
Guns are to protect us from our politicians.
Manifestly false. Any reputable survey would refute this. Quoting a single example (as the author does) is a silly device to attempt to lend credibility to a lie.
Once you see this statement, it is immediately obvious that the author is not interested in the truth, but only in pushing an ideological point of view.
Now,can we learn a lesson from this??
Yes we can! These shills will NOT stop! No matter what happens,they continue to want us defenceless!
And the big question here is WHY!
Because they know that when the people are unarmed>br? the socialist government becomes a distinct possibility,a major probability in fact.

Even if the gun grabbers get the law changed, I agree with a comment from another thread "It's better to be judged by 12 than carried by six." meaning I'll keep my guns until they come and get me.

But fewer guns will make us less safe!
I suspect Rebecca is the kind of person who has a lot of violent disputes in her family.

I will agree if you are talking about your government, the Taliban, otherwise you are ignorant or stupid. (Yes, there is a difference). I'm sorry that you expect GWB to call you personally with all of the military plans but I can guarantee you that he won't. There is much going on (overt and covert) and I am proud to be a staunch supporter of MY government.
Bush43 and his advisosrs are old school patriots and not fools. They may say things that are seemingly PC but this is simple pandering to the liberal media and crowd control. I'm confident that within the confines of 50 years of PC indoctrination these men are doing everything within their power to hold this nation together, protect as many citizens as possible and rid this landscape of the obivious and not so obvious enemy.
Bush43 talked about sacrafice and one of those sacrafices is for all of us to take a few hits while these patriots unravel 50 years of misdirection.
