Failure! I'm glad you are not my lawyer.
You're still wrong.

Mmm, no - you're the one doing the trolling.

Look, this thread was doing pretty well until you barged in and started with the personal attacks. CD's a pretty large place, perhaps you could find some other 'leg to hump'.

Now that they have immensely disarmed the densely populated areas, the same areas the caliphate wishes to target. To kill as many deniers and those that have gone astray.(WARNING)

It would behoove all Americans to conceal carry in the times we are going to endure.
You can be prepared for what is at our doorstep, or be a casualty of a Holy War.
When I was growing up, I found my Dad's gun between the mattresses of his bed. Him wanting to protect his family and thinking himself clever with the hiding place...

As I later became a father, I decided my greatest fear was an accident my kids might have with a gun, either at my house or someone else's. Or an accident that any gun owner knows all too well happens all the time, everywhere. So, I didn't go the way of carrying a gun or owning one. My feelings about that have not changed much about that, but now I fear the nut with a gun a little more than then. Not much but some, whether it be the robber, the kid gone nuts at a theater, a drive-by, or a terrorist of another sort. I know they are out there, but I don't live in fear of that any more (or less) than I do getting hit by a car on the freeway.

In general I think taking safety precautions, avoiding what dangers I can, is the best policy, not so much "fighting fire with fire."

It is not "our own government" that is trying to disarm people. I think it is people concerned about too many terrorists (of all kinds) that want fewer guns running around in general, in part because the belief that a good guy with a gun is really no deterrent for a bad guy with a gun. Even the police know better than that...

Conceal carry states don't show much proof to the contrary either.

All American citizens have a Constitutional guarantee to own and keep firearms regardless of their religious affiliation. Why? Because the 2A is there to protect the 1st Amendment.

Ya, and my daughter was shooting that gun at age 5, with her own shotgun, which was kept in her closet since she was 8. at 10 she got her Mini-14 to accompany it. at 16 she got her .38 revolver, police issue.

So, you feared your kids finding it, my kid always knew where it was and how to handle it and when to leave it alone. Watching it kill something, was all it took for her at age 5 to learn, THAT IS NO TOY.
My dad when I was 6, let me shoot his double barrel 12(with no recoil pad, with Turkey shot. I didn't touch that gun until I was 51 and dad past away.

Education, works better than ignorance.
When you kid turns 21, what stops them from obtaining a firearm, and then have no clue how to use it, and think it is a toy.


It is best to teach kids their constitutional rights at a young age. Letting them know, their rights are very dangerous to others.
