Any half-intelligent critical-thinking human being can see the article for what it is....a total bunch of bull-crap. That's not saying very much for the idiots that swallow that spoon-fed regurgitation.
The more we insist on facts to back up their blather, the more they'll have to retreat back into the shadows like the cockroaches that they are.
Purchase another firearm to add to the WTR family arsenal, or
Go shooting, particularly if I can take a new shooter with me, or
Write a letter to the editor of my local newsrag, or to one of my elected representatives.
You get the picture. Don't get angry. Get even.
Never mind that the more guns bought the greater chance they will fall into
the hands of people who can truly use them to defend themselves and their families!
Genius may have it's limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped...
I am responding to Mr. Thomasson’s editorial on lax gun laws. I find several errors in it. First off, he thinks that us gun owners are going to shoot all those of Middle Eastern Descent. I find that his personal attacks take away from any logical point that he is trying to make. It shows that he has no facts to back up his venom.
Secondly, the National Rifle Association has 4.5 million members. The NRA represents those members, not the gun industry.
Third, why would these terrorists buy semi-automatic weapons here in the US, when according to the United Nations, they can buy a fully automatic AK-47 in South Asia for $50 or less. A semi-automatic clone of the AK-47 would cost about $500 in the United States.
Lastly, the comment about most crimes occurred by guns bought at a gun show is a falsehood. The department of Justice says that 0.7% of criminals get guns at a gun show.
Let us combat terrorism by tightening up our borders, and not play up the atrocities caused by terrorists with box cutters as an excuse to trample on the rights of law-abiding gun owners.
Even in relatively "gun-free" Kenya (other than the NFD), if you knew the right person, you could get a full auto capable AK at certain local night clubs for a modest amount.
Liberal gun grabbers are NOT mis-informed or mis-directed, they are agents of traitors and terrorists, and traitors themselves.

The terrorists do NOT buy US guns for use abroad, they buy them from places in Africa and the Middle East, where they are dirt cheap. The only weapon I can think of bought in America and shipped out are high quality sniper rifles.
I don't see how putting more guns in circulation will increase the number the terrorists use, if there were 10 million guns in America, the terrorists would buy twenty and ship them out. If there were 500 million guns, the terrorists would buy twenty and ship them out. More guns does not mean more terrorist guns.
Shame on you Dan.

Seems that this moron forgot boxcutters, they have got to be counted as lethal weapons!
