*sees the pervert coming*
*has taken gun courses*
*points gun at pervert's head and says, "Try it, scumbag.*
*Scumbag pervert tries anyway, because that's what stupid people do*
*Shoots pervert in the head*
*One less scumbag pervert on the streets.*
There are truths in both post.
Far too many gunowners, don't have the training or mindset to defend themselves with a firearm. Far too many gunowners don't have the situational awareness to avoid trouble in the first place.
Far too many gun advocates believe that you can see a "pervert" coming which leads to ridiculous scenarios where you place a gun at a attackers head and spout some scriptwriters line. Of course if they had taken that "gun course" they would know that.
Would you like to provide verifiable statistics, regarding how many law-abiding gun owners commit crimes with guns?
Regardless of how much you hate the truth, it's the criminals that are committing the crimes. And sometimes they use guns.
I am a moderate-liberal Democrat and I oppose all forms of gun control. Taking guns away from law abiding citizens only gives criminals more power. I can not understand how any American would be against the 2nd amendment.
That's the problem with Americans today, they need the Republican or the Democratic Party to tell them how to think. So sad that no one thinks for themselves anymore.......
"I'll give you my guns when you take them out of my cold, dead hands"

Well... I'm a true conservative, and I don't even own a gun.
No wait a minute, I do have a pump-up BB gun for shooting rabbits in my garden.
If that is the case then why do countries with gun bans have lower homocide rates then countries without gun bans?
Ah yes, that old argument again.
Unfortunately, for those who make it, if falls totally apart when the larger picture is presented.
In fact, the countries with the strict gun control bans ALWAYS had lower crime rates than the United States. To make this a valid argument it must be shown that the gun control laws themselves actually lowered the crime rate in relation to what it was prior.
The truth is the opposite. They rose. England is the classic example. So is Australia.

And it's interesting to look closely at the Scandinavian countries. Sparsely populated. Flippin' cold. I bet the crime rate in Antarctica is pretty low too.
Believes everything MoveOn.org writes.
Things Michael Moore is a genius.
Believes the Gitmo detainees are all a bunch of kindly grandmas.
Seems pretty naive to me.
Believes anyone reads moveon.org
Doesn't know the difference between the word "things" and the word "thinks"
Believes that it is ok to torture human beings in Gitmo because at least one of them HAS to be guilty.

That is incorrect Britain has a much higher crime rate than the United States, but has a much lower homocide rate than the US.
