A few comments:

Associating some murderer with the need for gun control is logically flawed. Teenage drivers kill and injure WAY MORE people than legal gun owners, but you do not hear people talking about taking away teenagers cars. What we need here is not more gun control, but MORE GUNS (in the hands of law abiding citizens). Maybe some armed citizen could have the opportunity to take this cretin out if more Marylandites were armed. Instead, we see press report after press report, showing the Maryland police bumbling their way through this ordeal. Furthermore, gun control will not stop black market guns from getting into the hands of people bent on committing crimes. All it does is give criminals the confidence to attack their victims with little fear of resistance. This is why I moved out of NY and moved to AZ.

Well said. The fact that there is an APB out on white cargo vans complete with a photo proves your thoughts.

Connie Morella is a RINO. She is one of the few republicans who voted to approve of Clinton breaking the law/raping women/lying under oath. She voted NOT to impeach. Her campaign ads are calling her DemocRAT opponet "more of a Republican" than she is. She is disgusting but I would hate to not vote for her and lose the house to DemocRAT control...

HERE ARE SOME MORE TOOLS FOR GUN OWNERS

2nd Amendment for Dummies

It’s common sense for humans to defend his/her life from bad guys. Can you? What is your plan at home and on the street? What is your wife’s plan? What is your daughter’s plan? When you see the robbers or rapist knife, what negotiating technique will you use as your eyes met while you wait for 911 police?

Dial 911 and Die – 3 to 30 minutes normal police response time. 1.5 million felons are released into our neighborhoods annually. 75 % of released felons will commit felony acts again. Will you be next?

Felons don’t register guns. Felons will always get guns Bad guys are felons with guns.

Robbers love to rob citizens without guns and with government trigger locks. Robbers do not fear police with guns. Rapists prefer to rape women without guns.

Robbers select big food chains to hit because corporate policy does not allow mgrs to carry guns. Robbers avoid small mom and pop food stores because they know these storeowners are armed and robbers might get killed.

Robber breaking in – dial 911 require 5-15 minutes for police to arrive --- 5 seconds to arm yourself. If you don’t have gun? Do you have a plan?

Gun Control advocates should post sign on their lawns, “home is gun free”. These miss-guided advocates would soon miss the umbrella that 57 million gun owners provide.

“Fear in felons mind”. Gun Control grabbers advocates should visit daily high crime neighbors and wear T- Shirts “they are unarmed”. This will sharpen their focus and fear of assault, robbery, murder shared by citizens live in these neighbors.

75,000,000 gun owners only have one question for gun control grabbers & advocates. If a bad guy puts a knife to your chest, and I have my gun, Do you want me to shoot the bad guy or not?

Felons will always have guns. 20,000 current gun laws have not stopped felons from having guns, or stop humans from killing humans.

States with Conceal Carry laws CCW have experienced significant drop in contract crime to citizens. These state have Citizen Carry; AL, AK, AZ AR, CA, CO, CT, DL, FL, GA, HI, ID, IN, IA, KY, LA, ME, MY, MA, MI, MN, MS, MT, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WY. Serious Contact Crime has dropped in 95 % of the states.

In 1986 seven states had CCW, today 43 states have CCW and crimes continues to drop in these states. Support HR 407 bill for national CCW in all 50 states.


43 STATES ALLOW CONCEALED CARRY WEAPONS FOR CITIZENS. New York and Hawaii almost impossible to obtain permit (no one meet requirements) and they are experiencing no significant decline in crime.

Second Amendment Sisters are common sense mommies, sisters, grandmothers, and daughters, along with sons, men, fathers, and grandfathers who understand family self-defense

Sara Brady, and Handgun control says 12 children a day die in gun accidents. Last ten year average FBI, 83 children a year are killed in gun accidents. Each a tragedy -- our hearts go out to families. Who’s Lying?? The FBI & Depart of Justice says Bill Sara Brady and Handgun Control are miss-stating the facts.

Bad guys with guns in CA bring TV helicopters, live drama, equal viewer ship and huge profits, generates copycats crime and more fear. Fear sells newspapers, nightly TV news spots, media equate guns with fear, death, and ratings, and i.e. fear equals profit for TV and newspapers.

St Gabriel Possenti society says priest would be alive today if he had handgun. Priests in Houston want guns to protect parish.
