Shouldnt this man have won some kind of a medal by now??? At least a Nobel or something???It would be disgraceful to insult Thomas Sowell with an "award" deemed suitable for the likes of Yassir Arafat, Jimmy Carter and Al Gore.

“that the police used excessive force”
In some cases they do. I was taught to fire two rounds, check target fire again. Some of these police departments firing 50 rounds at someone before they know what the heck is going on.

People who have never run even a modest little business assert with great certainty and indignation that heads of multinational corporations are paid much more than they are worth.How dare Dr. Sowell describe every single candidate for the Democrat nomination in this way! :.)

At least a Nobel or something??? If offered, I believe he would say "no,thank you"
That won't happen, Nobels are for the likes of the Al Gores of the world.

I agree, Thomas Sowell is GREAT! You are right, my reference to Nobel had everything to do with that moron Gore receiving one.
I don’t have an award to give Dr. Sowell so I will just give him a big attaboy!!:)

Unfortunately, I think Dr. Sowell is too smart I couldn't agree more. Can you imagine him trying to deal with the idiots we have in Congress now?

Nobels are for the likes of the Al Gores of the world. And Yasser Arafats.
I hear ya -- I'd decline, and I'd tell them exactly why.

Only part of the problem is that many people have no idea of the capabilities and limitations of different kinds of guns, much less how much difference it makes if the shooter is in the safety of a firing range or in the stress of a life and death battle. ADDED-ESPECIALLY THE MEDIA.

Any intruder who hears the distinctive sound that is made when you load a shotgun is likely to decide that he would much rather be somewhere else, very quickly. Nor is he likely to return.
We don't own a shotgun yet, but this is the very reason why it's my husband's choice to have at home. He said the sound alone would make a grown man pee in his pants.

He would likely decline, but he still deserves the most highest honors and praise. (And I could care less that those have been going to idyots of late...that doesn’t make Sowell undeserving of what is his due.)

With people like Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and others available, it's Je$$e Jack$on and Al $harpton who are the spokesmen for black people. I know not all, but the majority, the ones who vote rat every election.

I believe there are many who didn't know that or that he was a Marine. The guy is great! Yep. Ed McMahon was also a Marine - a fighter pilot if I'm not mistaken.

It’s why we bought one. Sits next to the bed.
One thought - buy some dummy rounds so y’all can practice loading and “firing” in the bedroom in the dark etc.
Any Freepers w/ an opinion on #1 Buckshot vice #00 for home defense?
