Well there are a lot of Americans who live in America who feel the same way as I do. Even after living in America for almost 20 years I never got the fascination over guns. By the way I'm African and Caribbean and ain't no subject nor do I pledge no aligence to any queen. Worldly aren't you?
You have no idea how worldly I am or am not. Makes no difference though. Just because you " never got the facination over guns" doesn't mean they don't have a legitimate place in America.
Yes there are people here who do not like guns, but they are in a vast minority proven by the fact that any time an anti-gun measure is put up for vote it's defeated. Also, ever notice you never hear a pro-gun politician say he's anti- gun but the opposite is true? That's because the majority of people would not vote for them if they knew their true stand. America is a very pro-gun country, period.
Wow, one aberration. You gotta do better than that.
Also you fail to mention the armed citizens that showed up who had better guns than the cops for long range shooting and kept Whitman from shooting even more. One loon and many good, armed citizens. I don't remember the number of folks that came to shoot at him and keep his head down but it was substantial.
Yeh, all Texans, especially Austin (LOL) are walking around with guns.
the point isn't that allowing law abiding citizens to have guns elminates violence. It's that bans only are followed by non-criminals - it doesn't do any good. People who are willing to kill people don't care about "gun free zones."

I never said or inferred that all Texans carried guns, just that a large amount of armed citizens showed up to assist the police who were not armed properly to handle this situation. You have to admit though that Texas has some of the least restrictive gun laws and a low violent crime rate.
I need my guns to protect me from the militant homosexual lobby. They may come to my home, forcibly enter and redecorate my home, put styling product in my hair and throw out my wardrobe and replace everything in my closet with ascots and leather pants.
Seriously though, you libs just miss a fundamental truth when you rail against guns.
If you take away the right to own a firearm, the only ones who will turn their guns in are the honest law abiding citizens.
The criminals aren't going to turn theirs in! You will have accomplished nothing!
If someone breaks into my home to steal or do harm to me or my family it is my right to defend myself. I'm not going to "reason" with him, try and "understand where he's coming from" or "empathize" with him, I'm going to shoot him if I feel he's a threat.

I'd like to think so. I feel homosexuality is wrong but don't really care what those folks do as long as they don't approach me, my family or engage in gross PDA (don't like seeing that from straight people either, get a room....).
