(PS - it's the last letter on the page)

There you have it folks!

Guns are impulsive! They will jump off the table and into your hand then fire themselves!

This enlightened individual also wants a return to the black powder & lead ball days and he's not just talking about historical reenactments.

Thanks and good night - you can all go home now. Frederick Rokasky of Banksville PA has written the last words on the subject.

Sarcasm aside it saddens me that this kind of ignorance and naivete can still exist.

It's not ignorance or naivete. The left wants us disarmed because it's easier to force a disarmed populace to submit to tyranny. That's all this is about.

It was a 9 mm Browning automatic with 14 rounds in a clip

In 1979? This is code for "I am a jagoff who watched Serpico too many times."

WoW

I’ve never seen a Browning automatic in 9mm that used “Clips”

I have fired a “semi-automatic” pistol produced by Browning that uses “magazines” however.

Wait until they join forces with the SUVs. Then nobody will be safe.

Guns are “impulsive”

I don’t believe this person ever carried.

Before the handgun permit was enacted in Alaska people were sure it would lead to all kinds of new statistics. However, it appears to have made no difference whatsoever. Snowmachines, though, are very, very dangerous.

Yeah. I mean everyone knows that CCW holders are sooooo impulsive. They would shoot you for just being rude.

Thats why they have a lower rate of law breaking than, say, cops.

This is why our country is doomed, because good people like us allow others to get away with abandoning personal responsibility. The irresponsible deserve to die...

Anyone that impulsive and prone to a “what-the-hell” aggression as he described should not be allowed to drive a car, either. Cars kill more people than guns, and I’m sure that aggressive and reckless driving is behind some of those fatalities.

Admittedly, this Weedhopper was armed, so who did *HE* shoot?

No one??? Well then he proves his ‘theory’ holds no water.

What a tool!

In 1979 I carried a gun. I had a permit to do so. It was a 9 mm Browning automatic with 14 rounds in a clip. The reason I had a weapon was because I handled large sums of money, and my boss suggested that it might be a good idea. I carried my 9 mm every time I went out...

OK, Fred, so if more armed people would bring more impulsive shootings, HOW MANY IMPULSIVE SHOOTINGS WERE YOU INVOLVED IN? How many times did you, on an impulse, whip out your gat and start poppin' a cap in someone's ass?

Nitwit! IF everybody was armed people would tend to be less "impulsive" because the "target" could shoot back.

Arrest that felon! Automatic weapons are prohibited.

I’m growing weary of these talking heads, stuffed shirts and empty suits pontificating on concepts over which they have no command and in which they have little understanding.

In my view, gun control is: Solid stance, clear sight picture, control the breathing, and squeeze the trigger.

It’s in the tagline.

Don't read the rest of the letters at the link, then. Pretty much all of them advocate disasterous socialist ideals of some kind or another.

Funny... Browning doesn't make a 9mm pistol that uses a clip. All the ones I see listed use a magazine.

Also, EVERYWHERE carry laws have been loosened, "impulsive" shootings have dropped, not increased. The "blood in the streets" doom and gloom never happens. Same for road rage.

Speaking personally, I find that carrying a firearm makes me feel more confident and less apt to get angry over stupid stuff. Quite the opposite of the authors idiotic premise.

More armed people would bring more impulsive shootings.

In fact, it doesn't. In state after state that has passed concealed carry laws, the violent crime rate went down.

How do the leftists respond when such evidence refutes their cherished beliefs?

Why, they lie about it...

From the article: “When the year ended I sold the gun back to the gun shop I bought it from, for what I paid for it. I was glad it was gone.”

Fred...you did the right thing. We are all safer by your actions. Just be hopeful that someone without your confused sense of morality is around to help you out when the fecal matter comes in direct contact with the rotating air current generator.

Lock and Load.

No, it wasn’t.
