States Reconsider Limits On Law-Abiding Gun Owners

Mark Warner won with the help of the NRA. He ran strong in rural Virginia, where a Democrat usually doesn't stand a chance. The national Dems should listen to him but they won't. Warner's a good deal more conservative than many midwestern RINOs. George Ryan comes to mind in that regards and sometimes the party label doesn't tell you who'll advance American principles, such as defending the Second Amendment and the RKBA.

"We could have an incident with these concealed weapons people," said Jim Sollow, board chairman of Virginians Against Handgun Violence. "When people have these weapons, our concern is that they tend to do dumb things with them."

Isn't this the same barking sound we heard BEFORE the CCW law was passed?

And it didn't happen?

[goldstategop]

Like CCW holders are going to shoot up state parks in VA all of a sudden?? Fat chance.

"States with CCW laws experienced lower violent crime rates without exception."

THIS is what needs to be heard.

I'm more concerned about the dumb things criminals will do with their guns when they are assured that nobody else but them will be carrying them thanks to the efforts of weenies like this Jim Sollow. What is a man doing as a member of a sissy group like this?

Personally, I'm more concerned that we could an incident with these people who can talk. When people have the ability to talk, my concern is that they tend to do dumb things with it.

Someone needs to forward this to Tony Blair so he can straighten his country out.

I think it's a lost cause. Even their police are unarmed.

I've never had a CCW permit -- where I live, on Long Island, it's close to impossible to get one -- but I've known a number of CCW holders. They struck me as being exceedingly sober about the weapons they carried, and highly unlikely to use them imprudently. They cherished their right to carry, and regarded any threat to it -- from the state or from their own misconduct -- as maximally serious.

It's people who evince a pathological fear of guns, who think of them as snakes coiled and waiting to strike the innocent, who pose a real danger. These folks can't distinguish between the animate and the inanimate, nor for that matter between aggressive violence and violence wielded in defense. Someone with that little clarity of mind probably thinks cars go out at night and cause accidents while their owners are asleep. They just about came out and accused Ronald Reagan of impregnating hordes of inner-city teenagers, didn't they?

Jim Sollow is a coward and barely a man. I've seen him debate a few times and I keep expecting him to pull out a hankey, drop it on the ground and stomp up and down on it.

Apparently this guy is a 'dumb thing' and therefore an expert on such things.

If that woman that was recently raped in a park by illegals had been armed...if Chandra Levy had been armed, there would be two less horrific crimes.

Women should arm themselves and allow no unconstitutional law to interfer with her right to self defense.

Like protect themselves from robbery or rape.
Uh, the government as God is suppose to do that part. Can't have that sort of thing going on without government aid. Why, that's totally unsocialist!
Without "social victims", there'd be no democrat voters, and without a certain amount of violence, the anti-gunners would be obsolete! They'd have to get a real job!
Neither the Constitution nor the freedom that accompanies it are allowed in the U.S. The socialists have decided so. It's THEIR "lifestyle choice." Only THEY have the right to choose stuff. They said so!

The national Dems should listen to him but they won't.

The funny thing is that I've seen posters over on the DUmpster attempting to point out that continued opposition to gun owners' rights is turning into slow political seppuku for the Democrats. Of course, they are quickly shouted down and/or banned.
