spoon agreed on that nuiance, but a good cause getting clouded by ignorant or opportunists shouldn't mean the cause ought to suffer. The cause is real, and the fringe hangers on need to grow up or go to jail.
What?Well that can only be a fluke.Don't you know a firearm in the house increases the danger to a family by XXXX%?,the Brady campaign tells us so.
They were on the phone with 911,if they had just been a little more patient the government would have arrived to save them.And besides if they wouldn't have arrived in time and they would have been hurt or killed by the attacker statistcally it would have been ok because no guns allowed means in the grander scheme of things less people are likely to be hurt.So a couple people die because the government couldn't be there so what?,it is more important to be rid of the evil violent devices that a common person has no business or need to own.
Only government needs evil violent guns,wait how can a gun be evil and violent when government has them?If all guns are evil why isn't government evil when they have them?Meh no matter facts don't matter only that you feel good.
And what about the criminal?He is a human also,do we not count his life as worthful?What does it matter if it was a good guy or bad guy a life is a life.
Glad to hear that another crime was foiled by a responsible gun owner.
Just don't buy the hype that "Obama wants to take your guns" - its all a ploy by the gun shop owners to increase their sales (and its working like gangbusters).
If it is a "ploy" then why it is on the official White House web site as part of Obama's Urban Policy?
Quote:
Crime and Law Enforcement
Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.
I'd love to see "Virginia encourages residents to defend themselves with deadly force if need be" written.
Why do you suppose VA has made their laws as they have? Other states (the usual suspects which have the worst gun laws in the country) have laws that discourage use of deadly force against criminals.

You keep making brash statements..I'd like to see evidence to back them up..Just because you can generalize "usual suspects" doesn't mean anything.
