You don't seem to understand cause and effect very well. You libs elect people who want you curb liberties. The natural reaction is for people is to rebel against those ideas. Maybe if you and Obama weren't such nut jobs over gun control, people would have less reason to fear for the loss of their rights.

Okay, then
Here's a question for you from the lib whack job.

Is this how it's supposed to be?
Do you really think this is the future for generations to come?

I would appreciate earnest answers.
Not issue avoiding, finger pointing, deflections.

People will defend themselves.
Fact of life, anyone who depends on a any government to protect them is a fool. Only the strong survive. Like it or not, it's how the world has always been and will always be.

There is NO WAY to eliminate guns, period.
And no one will ever come with a way do so.

When seconds count, the police are just minutes away.
No none has the right to deny anyone the right to protect themselves and their families. We need MORE guns out there. We should be outlawing gun free zones.

"1.4 million Americans died in wars since 1776.
1.4 million Americans died via household guns since 1968
3,400 Americans died via terrorism since 2001.
3,400 Americans died via household guns in the last 5 weeks."

Yep. MORE GUNS... That's the ticket, for sure. How many is the optimum number to protect oneself? 500 Million? 600? A billion? That way, any 'terrorist' nut, with any beef about anything, can arm themselves at anytime, either through their own devices, their family or their neighbour across the street!

And the proper correlation should be the percentage of Americans repelled and killed in the commission of a crime/murder by an armed opponent v.s. the % killed by a fellow family member, just because the gun is hanging around the home in the open.

It is 1% v.s. 0.75%. So, almost a sad wash, but still another 98% to go- every year!

It is absolute and total madness, continuing until the infinity of time. No other western society allows such crazed indifference to life. I was incorrect when I said this was the Wild West previously.

You had a chance with the firearms of the 1860s. With the assault weapons of today- the innocents have no chance! NONE!

“President Washington said ‘that a free people should not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain independence from any who might attempt to abuse them.'”

“Thomas Jefferson said that ‘laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are not inclined to commit crime.

These guys thought so...I'm throwin' in with them.

Insanity is, as Insanity does....

I'm so glad something like this upsets you. Tough. People have to defend themselves in the age of Obama.

You got that right. MORE GUNS. The MORE GUNS, IN THE RIGHT HANDS, THE BETTER.

It was out of control here long before Obama.
There was just no going back.

Let me ask you a question.

Are the VAST, VAST majority of legal gun owners law abiding citizens?

If so, then what exactly is your problem?
