[Madame Dufarge]

When you disarm the citizenry, when you prosecute them for being so foolish as to believe they have a right to self-defence, when you issue warnings that they should "walk on by" if they happen to see a burglary or rape in progress, the main beneficiaries will obviously be the criminals.

Mind-boggling how the painfully obvious can be so relentlessly ignored.

It's as if some mass psychosis has seized huge segments of the populace.

[Lurker]

It has.

their core ideology: the best way to deal with criminals is to impose ever greater restrictions and inconveniences on the law-abiding.

Mind-boggling how the painfully obvious can be so relentlessly ignored.

Worth repeating. Why do these socialists continue to fantasize that criminals will obey the law?

[Little Bill]

No only a change of demographics, my Gandmothers Grandfather was President of the LDS Mission in Birmingham in the 1840s', the out of work and the starving were the only worries then.

As an aside, we in Eastern NH have more guns than the commies in the Hannover area.

PRECISELY! -- As in: What's this, "AS IF," nonsense?

[sit-rep]

Actually, what it is, is a populace who is some what sound financially, and when one is comfortable, they really don't care about anything else. This is a mold that the powers that be have slowly over the years, cast into society.

Give the folks a comfort zone, and you can do anything to them you want. As long as they have this zone, they can be ruled with ease.
