Don't you think it's time to move on? Find a new martyr for the Liberal cause?

TM was only 17, so I assume you are advocating we remove the age restrictions for buying a handgun and getting a carry permit?

If I see unknown people walking around in front of my house with weapons I'm going to be concerned. Doesn't matter whether they are black, brown, white or whatever. They'll be on surveillance and I may well deploy defensive measures -- no point in sitting around waiting for them to hit me and my family first.

Make sure you come back and let us know how the prison accomodations are. Shouldn't be a problem, I hear even the lowest of the low get internet access in the pen these days.

We all have the same rights, but if you get in an officer's face when stopped then you are practicing the right of stupidity. Arguing you point is one thing, assaulting a cop is something else.


If it is indeed reference to the Wilson-Brown incident then the answer is that particular black man did not have the right to the gun of another.

Every family should have sentry duty. It would be hell to get taken out by friendly fire for just taking a stroll down the road though. Ramming the gate to the fort, maybe a different matter, but then... That would not be friendly fire.

Well, why not? Isn't open-carry in schools (by teachers AND students) the only way to keep everyone 100% safe?

When you want to have a real discussion about this, start a thread and send me a link. Until then, I won't legitimize your hyperbole by giving it a serious response.

If your goal is 100% safety, you've already admitted defeat. There is no possible way to guarantee 100% safety, ever. Therefore, it is apparent that you have no desire to actually discuss the issue in any reasonable way and are only interested in trolling.
