Have you ever thought that maybe…just maybe, the media folks in Europe are just like the media folks here? That is, chock-full of pathological liars who consider it “okay” to not tell the truth, the whole truth?

I’m referring to your first comment regarding those other nations thta have strict gun control, and you state their level of violence is quite low? Did you ever consider that their media IS NOT FREELY operated, and maybe they do not report the way our media reports things?

That, as an example, the main media arm in Great Britain is the BBC, a government financed, government-run media outlet. They aren’t allowed to color outside the lines over there…they have to report what the government decides is trusting enough to report.

Also…I seem to recall several bomb drops occuring in London from terrorists who would go into a crowded marketplace and drop a bomb and leave. Would you rather have our country turn into a country like that where we have massive amounts of death occuring because the bombers might have been would-be gun toters who would have killed far fewer people with a gun than they killed with a bomb?

Noting happens in a vacuum, Roy. Stop assuming that the USA is screwed-up in our freedoms. There are a lot more frequent events of terror that occurs over in European countries than occurs here. Ponder why that might be.

This is your chance to apologize. Your last chance.

You’re welcome.

However, in the future, I would highly recommend not to threaten Jace with any form of conventional weaponry.

He’s a self-described mouth breathing hick, and he’s packin’.

I resolved this issue about 20 comments ago. I don’t appreciate the disrespect you’re showing by continuing “debate”.

The debate is over. The issue is settled.

I’ve changed my mind.

It appears that the rat-bastard known otherwise as Chris Farris has closed the thread of dreams, a/k/a “Huckabee has won his last primary”.

If it’s not re-opened soon, he’s going to wish GA had tougher gun control laws.

p.s. Are you a Mitt Romney type gun owner? How many foxes have you shot on that there plantation. Where I come from we people say farm now. People who say plantation usually need to get over some self importance issues.

Citizens with concealed carry permits are among the most law-abiding citizens anywhere. In places that keep those statistics, less than 1% of the concealed carry permits have been revoked for any reason (and committing most crimes will get your concealed carry permit revoked). In Kentucky, for example, since 1986, only 0.8 percent of their concealed carry permits have been revoked for any reason. In Virginia, it’s 0.2 percent.

nast,

Both of the students at the Appalachian School of Law that were armed and intercepted the killer stated that the “unarmed student” hadn’t tackled the the shooter, and that he only claimed to have done so afterwards.

My point is this – concealed carry permit holders are among the most law-abiding citizens in this country. They prevent massacres on a regular basis, it just isn’t reported in the news. And those who are against concealed carry, like nast, have said that if concealed carry laws were passed, blood would run in the streets, people would be shooting each other over parking spaces, and all kinds of other ludicrous claims to prevent people from being able to exercise their Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Those things haven’t happened, and concealed carry has been a very positive thing, reducing crime rates, preventing massacres, and allowing people to actually exercise their rights.

That seems to be the biggest problem that people like nast have – carrying firearms – “bearing arms” – is a right. And they simply don’t want to acknowledge it nor do they want to respect other’s rights to choose to carry a firearm, because they choose not to, they think they should be able to make that choice for others as well.

I notice you left out the first clause of that sentence, you know – the part that mentions the “well regulated militia?” That implies to me regulation and training.

Although I’m willing to overlook any requirements for mustering.

And btw, y’all are nutso. Guns safely stashed in the home, sure. An armed camp at school? No thanks.

Mac v. PC? Mac, of course.

These “gun free” zones are nothing but shooting galleries for nut cases. We should at least have the ability to shoot back. Yes, I, and my 81 year old mother can have guns in our homes but sometimes you have to leave the house without an armed police escort.

Yes, you have an instance of a crime being stopped by a citizen armed with a gun. How many crimes are caused by a citizen armed with a gun?
