Guns will protect you from tsunamis.

If you're not scared enough to buy a riot gun today by this fear-mongering, then I don't know what else could make you.

Ever think it might be determination to prevail rather than 'fear', Hip? Bet you've not... the antis have the oddest mindset, being over-hostile to self defense and all the human rights it helps guarantee. But do they ever see that deeply? Not on your life.

I am persuaded, on abundant evidence and stellar reasoning (no, not my own, you grabasstic unorganized wombat-schtupper), that if you're gun people, you are smarter.

No. Just better armed.


And if you think that is smarter.......

Yes, as a matter of fact, we do.

UT, sorry for my duplicate post, haven't been around that much anymore and kinda lost the daily touch. Looked for a delete button, but couldn't find it.

Anywayz.... your knee jerk response was expected, UG. I guess that's why you chose that silly handle. Maybe you were born 150 years late? Guns for brains...

A most classic example of 'big dic' thinking. Using the wrong head to think with: 'big dic' thinking. Clearly they are smarter. 'Big dic' thinking gave us "Mission Accomplished".

Who were the strongest advocates of that unjustified war? Same people who promote more guns for safer streets. 'Big dic' thinking is still alive and well despite lessons from history. So some (UG) must then rewrite history.

Gawd, I'm just so in awe of our highly-evolved Eurofriend. No, really...

Ok, we've heard from the Big Dic thinker now let's turn the floor over to the Small Dic thinker...

You have. They are telling MaggieL how naive and rediculous her logic is.

Clearly more guns in Iraq have made Iraqi streets so much safer. Why does she fear to touch that fact? Clearly more guns in Sudan and Somolia are making those nations safer. Clearly the increase in guns now carried on Phily's streets are now making Philly safer. Philadelphia is may have the second highest year of violent deaths because even kids are now so routinely carrying guns. According to MaggieL, that should have causes a decrease in murders - not an increase. But these are facts that 'big dic' thinking must ignore.

Maybe you would, unless you prefer the quantity murders/killings?

BTW I saw on that pic with you that you own a gun with a telescope. Is that for self defense also? At least that was what I thought, because it was in an article about self defense.

tw, please rewrite that in proper english - I know you have a point or two to make, but I can't seem to find it.

wolf 12-28-2006 10:35 AM

More legal firearms reduce the crime rates. Philadelphia does not have a lot of legal or legally carried firearms. The Phila PD controls permit issuance, and it is nigh impossible to get one there.

I assure you that the young men who are pointing Glocks sideways at each other aren't legal owners.

The "kids" are involved in the drug trade, even if the news won't tell you that.

Iraq is a warzone, usual statistics do not apply. But answer me this ... how many people (average citizens as well as american military) are being shot by insurgents vs. being blow up by them?

So then you do agree the ownership of a firearm with responsibility - just like a driver’s license - is a good thing. Problem is that MaggieL posts all ownership of guns means less violent crime. Maybe she wants to clarify that because her current posts imply wide open and unrestricted ownership of guns means less crime.
