Yes, I am getting the impression you consider it a bad thing. Sorry, from now on, I'll just go along with what you say.
Great job Spinney! Nice out of context quoting to try and make me look like a moron. I guess I shoulda seen it coming. What I actually said was...
If you're serious about this subject, do some research, and come back with some facts to back up your assertions. Otherwise...
Looks like you are on the "otherwise"..

Okay, there's something I've been trying to work out for a while. If I could buy a gun and keep it in my bedside cabinet, how the hell do I know that he doesn't have one as well?
LOL spinneyhead...you can rest assured HE DOESN'T have a gun because YOU LIVE in a country with gun control. (It's not really a country...it's a collection of cowering soon-to-be victims)
"The 'professional' burglars were sixteen and, I think, eighteen. He shot the youngest in the back as he was running away and kept firing after it was obvious he had scared the two away...but Tony Martin...is a murderer, plain and simple."
No, I was saying that every factual detail you've posted, other than the name "Tony Martin," is incorrect. The details are available in published newspaper articles. Did you also know that the "poor boy" who didn't die is back out on the street right now?
Sorry to sound so harsh, but, as I stated, I'm tired of people who have done no research and have little content knowledge of the matter trying to set, or even influence, public policy.
I speak as someone who was formerly in full support of the disarmenment of citizens and the banning of all weapons. It took me years of information gathering before I concluded I was wrong and this effort would not lower violent crime. Because of my former views, perhaps I should have more patience with people like you, but I don't.
