A great read, count me as armed and ready, I refuse to be a sheep! If armed Dennis McCarthy could still be alive. Why would anyone not be prepared to fight for their most precious possession, their life!

Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive.

....Yawn....



HR 1022 had only about 65 co-sponsors out of about 435 people in the House of Representatives.

The ATF Reform & modernization bill had over 220.

Take a deep breath.


Goes to sleep.

i would have to agree. do you ever get the feeling that the government cant protect you and really is not that interested in doing so? what do you think would be the chance that your average kidult would stand up and fight for his own family, i mean for any reason.
the light goes where the baby boomers go. considering the state of economy pretty soon you are guna need that gun. guts have became a national scarcity

I don't understand why people use the argument that IF people were allowed to carry guns they MIGHT not have gotten injured or killed. Personally, I think it's offensive to the memories of the dead to speculate about what MIGHT have happened. Like at Virginia Tech. Even if guns were allowed on college campuses, who's to say that any of the people in those classrooms would have been packing heat anyway? It's a lot of speculation and conjecture and it doesn't help anything. Not everyone WANTS to carry a gun. So even if they could, that doesn't mean they would.

Actually that *was* disrespectful - I deleted the post.

I dont know what the answer is - it's an arms race.

If someone at VA Tech would have been armed don't you think a few lives could have been saved? If armed you have a fighting chance, unarmed your a sheep to be slaughtered at will. Why is that so hard to understand?

You can give up and die, I will go down fighting hoping to at least take the bad guy with me so he is stopped. Who knows the life I (or someone else who is carrying) save may be yours!

You on the other hand prefer to let the bad guy take you and yours and do with them as he pleases. Sheep!
