Mike - this might be worth pinging to your B/C list.

Joe&Travis - if you approve, ping away. If not? Hammer away without mercy.

Did you ever noticed that the newspapers will report a shooting as "Automatic weapons kills 15 year old". If the kid gets run over they don't say "88 Buick Kills 15 Year old" they say "Drunk Driver Kills Kid". If the deed is done with a gun, the gun is to blame. If it's done with anything else it's the fault of the criminal.

expounding on the "obvious" causal link between availability of guns and violent crime

Two things.....

1) Have these liberals ever tried to PURCHASE a gun? Cause it ain't like buying milk.

2) Of all the violent crime......how much is propagated by PERMIT HOLDERS?

Close to ZERO, I'm willing to bet. I read recently (can't recall where) that out of 180 thousand+ permits to carry concealed issued last year FOUR were revoked.

Have you ever noticed the description "gunman" when a gun is involved? You'll never see "batman", "knifeman", or "rockman" when some is beaten, stabbed, or bludgeoned with a rock, but "gunman" just rolls off their lips and out of their pens and keyboards so easily and automatically.

A couple of simple rules help me.

If they make you angry, they won. I try to keep my head when I post.

There isn't a problem when I wrote out a couple of paragraphs just to get it out of my system and then deleted the message.

When I'm wrong, I try to apologize.

The real enemy are the libs and the anti-gun people.

Saying what won't be done really doesn't impress anyone. Saying what a person has done or will do is better.

well... Sean Penn, a convicted felon (assault and battery of a papparazzi) has both a CA carry permit and at least one handgun.
I suspect, for the Kultural Elite Leftists, it's a matter of "rights for me, not for thee"

What you said. As someone much wise than I has previously said, "Liberals are people who kill babies while and baby killers". Short, sweet and to the point.

As for the "crime culture" you mention, again, spot-on. Look where we, as a society, currently worshup. It's beyond reproach how degenerate "gangstas" and other assorted scum are now pop icons, worshipped by the ignorant masses who, God help us, will someday be in charge.

God save the Republic. Please.

Can you imagine the feedback if someone wrote "Batman Kills Joker in Bar Fight"? I bet even Jason Blair would have had trouble with that one.

I'll try to bear all that in mind.
Especially the bit about keeping my cool.
