The right to bear arms

[odeon]

I find all the "the only way to stop a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun" and the whole propaganda exercise that living in a society awash with guns makes you safe.... more than a little stupid.

Here's something for you and odeot to stick in your pipe and smoke.

You post that as though it's a BAD thing.

[DirtDawg]

Not quite the same, but something just about as foolish happened locally at an Ikea outlet.

Idiot wearing loose pants with a pistol in his pocket (irresponsible) sat in a couch type thing and his gun fell out without him knowing it (more irresponsible).
A six year old happened to find it and discharge a round. No one was hit, but that guy is charged with felony (neglect - can not remember the exact charge) so this moron will loose his right to even OWN a weapon of any kind.

I once advanced an argument for gun relaxation here in the UK.  I was jumped on for it, essentially because I believe people to be far more law-abiding than they actually are.  Apparently we like the way we like it, and we don't want it change.

His words don't bother addressing the points. Bill sums up his failure with, "I don't want to make you mad,"
and pretty much shows that he's a complete wuss in this encounter.

Another point:

[Calandale]

Yep. That's why we don't have laws prohibiting any dangerous items - because someone
could always get hurt/harm someone with something else.

Now, where did I leave the family atomics....

I don't think so. Can't you watch videos from your 'puter??

I'd rather read and listen to music.

It's not even 12 minutes long.

Wow, Pappy found an NRA shill on YouTube.

Did you think he presented any convincing arguments? What were they?

You wouldn't understand, he uses words with more than two syllables in them.
