JohnRich 4 #155 January 14, 2008 QuoteI don't think it's invalid because there are enough cases of law abiding gun owners finding themselves suddenly non-law abiding. As simple as that - perhaps it's this potential that bothers people. There are plenty of non-gun owners who find themselves non-law abiding too, and have the potential to become non-law abiding. Guns are not a common denominator amongst law-breakers. Once again, law-abiding gun owners do not deserve your blame for criminal acts. Just as responsible alcohol drinkers do not deserve to be blamed for drunk driving fatalities. Do you want to make it illegal to have a glass of wine with dinner, because that person might have the potential to become a drunk driver? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mnealtx 0 #160 January 16, 2008 QuoteStop asking the impossible, it will leave you feeling empty. The funny thing about those people are a couple things they don't realize or will never mention.... When the shit hits the fan, they'll do two things: 1. Call somebody with a gun 2. Pray they get there in time I get a real chuckle out of the 'living in fear' bit, as well... why should I be more afraid than the average person on the street? *I've* got an effective means of defense...they don't!Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

warpedskydiver 0 #161 January 16, 2008 Well they will try to say having a gun is a sign of fear, but then again when faced with dire circumstances, there you have it, they will call someone with a gun.

See mnealtx's post below yours. Crime is the problem, guns are not. You are confusing the issue I believe. And I know many do not like the analolgy but cars or alcohol are not the problem when it comes to drunk driving. The drinker is.

I asked: 'But how can you 'deny' the frequency of school shootings in America and then say it's not a problem?' Rwanda has many cultural and social problems throughout its society and with it's neighbours. If we had the time we could individually look at them in detail.

Ok, so Rwanda had hundreds of thousands murdered by machetes and it's a cultural/social issues problem, but school shootings in the US is a gun problem. Just a *bit* of an inconsistency in your logic, don't you think? How about the school shootings in Branneburg, Freising, Erfurt, Emsdetten, and Cologne... were they due to gun problems, too, or is it just the US? BTW, I don't think anyone here has said that school shootings (or any other) "aren't a problem", except for a few anti's trying to score the "you don't care so long as you keep your guns" insult. The difference is that those of us that *do* own guns for self-defense realize that they don't have any magical power to make people walk down the street killing everyone they meet.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

christelsabine 1 #173 January 19, 2008 No problem. Just a side note: In fact, not even an attempted one - 2 crazy teenager boys feeling like Rambo, dreaming of how to floor everybody, making silly plans which were tattled to teachers. After examination by police, one of that boys killed himself by trying to let a train derail with his body Poor little ones, they were watching too many movies, it seems. It never was a real plan, no weapons were involved. They never had access to weapons. dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
